Youve Been Oriented


That was very odd. I went to this "orientation" just now. Orientation which according to the hr lady was about 3 hours long and started at 5. (An hour ago.) I waited for them to figure out what i was supposed to do, then some guy comes over and offers me a lolly pop and takes me to the meeting room. He explains that hes not sure which videos Im supposed to watch (and yes i am the only person being oriented) so well watch "this 1". He puts the video in and it starts playing and he talks throught the whole thing all about himself and Arizona. Then after the video ends he tells me all about the illigals and how they all carry guns and how its suicide to flip 1 off. Finally, when theres a brief brake, I stand up and then he says I can go. Wierd.

I Got What I Came For

Im a working man again. Its good to be productive again. My new boss is something else. He runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. At one point he tells me to check the water level in a battery, so I pop the cap off and hold it in my hand. A couple drips of water fall from the cap and he says to me "WHOOOAHHH, Dont spaz out man! Your spilling everywhere!" Ive also been told by 2 of my new coworkers that they hate him.
Coworker: Todays your first day?
Me: Yeah.
Coworker: How do you like it so far?
Me: Its pretty good.
Bossman goes running buy looking for head.
Coworker: Yeah, we pretty much all hate him.

So, this should prove to be interesting.

Asleep in Perfect Blue Buildings

We packed the family into the Man Scorpion yesterday and headed down to Tucson. It was a tight fit, but we made it with only minor scratches and bruses. We helped the gang from the South finish their big move. When the moving was done we went to see The Departed (Watch it!) and got some delicious pizza at Mammas.

On Friday I got the call from Sears. My background check and drug test results are back and I passed both. Im going to bring my tools up today and start Monday.

I Say Words, That Make a General Meaning

In the spirit of keeping this site updated Ive added some more swag to the shop. (Yeah thats right, we gots us a shop up in this shit. Now buy somthin. Bitch!) Now you can buy youre very own "I Ate the Square Root of the Tacos" junk. Perhaps you feel like bragging, pick up a new T Shirt. Or maybe you know an Emo who needs a pick me up; give him a button for his backpack. Or maybe the baby wants to feel like a big girl when shes eating with a cool new bib. Or remind the lady friend of your grandeur with these boxer shorts.

Picture Yourself in a Boat on a River

We got the HD yesterday. Holy moly is it awesome. Weve got some serious 5.1 going on and the 480p is better looking than I thought my TV could be. We watched the Heros on the HD last night. It was glorioius. The true test will be tomorrow night, LOST. Can it make Kates sumptious lips and Jacks furrowed brow better? Or how about Sawyers quick witted comments in surround sound? Did I just slip into a Harlequin novel? Well find out next time!

Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job

I had my interview. I went to the HR office at the Sears, told them I was here for an interview with the Car Care Center Manager. the lady told me to have a seat and shed call him. This was her end of the conversation.
Your interview is here.
How can you have the day off? You just got off of vacation.
Its the guy from Michigan who was here last week.
OK, Ill send him over.

So, I went over to the Auto Center and asked for the man. I was told that hes here but its his day off. I finally get to talk to him and the interview goes well. I have to take a drug test and have a background check.

Its My Fun Day

We had a sleepy Sunday today. Watched hours of football, soccer and baseball. Got some groceries. Went swimming. Ate delicious dinner prepaired by my glorious wife. Its nice to be on vacation. I am looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Itll be nice to know that money is coming again. Not to mention getting out of the house.

Weve got the Heros DVRd right now. Theyre replaying the first 3 episodes. Itll allow us to see weather or not the show is worth watching. 3 episodes comercial free in a row. NICE.
