Bankrupt? Fired? What, r u kidding me?!?!

ARRRGGG!! so, as much as i detested and complained about my little sandwich shop gig, i'm PISSED to announce, that now i am currently...dun da daaaaaaaa...UNEMPLOYED!!!! okay, so the managers calls this staff meeting on sunday morning, and we all figure it is going to be about the little twirp who has been annoying the crap out of everyone. bossing me around, taking FOREVER to make sandwiches and holding up the line, annoying customers, etc....and we are all blown away when he starts, "first i wanted to say that this is the best crew i've had and wanted to thank you all for your incredible work. well, unfortunately, that's where the good news ends. as of this wednesday, we are going to be closing the store." WTF?!?!? and i'm thinking, wednesday in like three days?? and yes, i was correct...so thank you for the freaking head's up....NOT! so, now i have one more day of work (i didn't even want to show up at all, but i feel bad jilting my co workers) and then i'm cut loose to go roam the streets once again to look for a job. mind you, it took me 6 weeks to even get that damn Quizno's job, as no one is hiring right now. plus, with summer underway, there are tons of students who just got jobs and so there arent' even going to be those openings that might have been available....ugh. i'm stressing out, and have no clue as to what i'm going to do. i guess it just goes to show that u should be thankful for anything you do have, in the way of a job.

well, i guess that will give me plenty of time to work on my art and writing, but i know that is by no means a source of income for me as i have yet to even start traveling down a road to getting any type of income that way. i mean, i'm not that good at the art, not nearly enough to be an 'artist' and have yet to be published, so i'm stressing as to how the heck i'm gonna get any money!! yipes!! as far as getting my story to publishers, i know that's crazy hard to do without an agent (of course i don't have) and looking at the steps online, i'm a bit overwhelmed and defeated, as it is like a slim to none chance of breaking in without any connections, same goes for art world. i just don't know what i want to do with my life, i do want to try to do something that would make me happy, but don't know where to start...ugh again.

well, so i guess this will be short, as i have really nothing fun to report, and am stressed. my best wishes to all u out there in the cyberworld that are also without job and freaking, and for those of u that do have one, be grateful, even if it is a shitty situation!

A day in the Life

Hello!!

Well, if you are reading this, I thank you and extend my hand in friendship...haha. Okay, so i'm not really sure what direction I will be taking this blog, but I thought I'd throw my crazy thoughts, ideas, and experiences into cyberspace and hopefully if nothing else provide a little entertainment to whoever ends up reading.

I guess we can start with a little background info...I absolutely luv to run and do art and read a lot. I've got a variety of interests, and I'm sure more will pop up as I continue this little on-going 'project'. I've got the coolest younger sibs (2 bro's and a sis) who rock and continually amaze me in every way. Right now my days generally consist of being a slave to one Quizno's Subs, and I serve up those torepedo's with the best of them. (yes, they are toasty, but in all honesty I'm more of a Subway fan myself) I actually only started working there about 2 months ago, and after having to leave my last job, fell head-long into the wonderful world of food service. I honestly can't believe how rude or just plain inconsiderate people can be, and sometimes think to myself, "is this person for real!" You gotta love those customers that eat practically all their sandwhich, then want a refund because us idiots made such a sub-standard meal...god forbid in this current economy someone not get absolutely EVERY CENT worth of the $4 thing they ordered, they better have had a life-fullfilling meal served to them...one forgets that it is only casual/fast-food they came into, not a cafe in france...it makes me laugh after the initial pissed-offness wears off. but hey, it does add some fun entertainment to an otherwise mundane day.

My day starts off with my regular run (i've been a weenie lately and been sticking to the Treadmill. i'm a wee bit anal as to knowing exactly how far and at what pace i'm going, so i like being able to control that...hehe) and catching up on the latest world going-on's with our good Today Show friends in Matt, Al, Meradith and posse. I'm not too good at keeping up on current events or reading the paper, so in an effort to not be completely ignorant of what's happening in the country or around the world this is my attempt to keep somewhat up to date, and the show does add the usual 'fluff' to keep things interesting (i would never be able to stick to something as hard core newsy as CNN and the like) and I do get a dose of 'celebrity sleeze' every now and then. (yes, i'm an admitted trashy mag addict!)

Well, when that's all done, I am usually rushing around, with the whole shower thing and throwing down my bowl of cereal, then off to my lovely Quizno's. After too many hours go by I'm released...but i'll add in more fun stories and such later. Luckily my co-workers are pretty cool on the whole (minus the 66 year-old chick i like to refer to as the Quizno Nazi, as she has to have EVERYTHING her way...and speaks a mile a minute with this thick accent which i can never understand). Get home, make sure by awesome cat has his food bowl full, then wind up wasting the rest of the day either reading, watching some tv, or losing astounding amounts of minutes aimlessly online. (i swear there must be some kind of facebook time warp where time passes much faster than in the real world!)

Okay, well, i know, this has all been soooo exciting, but i promise later posts should continue to delight and entertain more, i'm just starting after all! Just wanted to give a little background for future referances i suppose. i'm gonna try to post up some of my art stuff and writing escapades as well, so maybe i can get some feedback and whatnot...so definitly check back people! I've got TONS of crazy stories and whatnot, as if i may say so myself I've packed a lot of crazy skrewed up funny stuff into my mere 23 years on this big round earth....so more later!

Until then, respect ur fellow food-handlers and either keep running or start :)
