Shit corpsman. The worse one was when he stabbed through vein. right through it.

What's the last thing a redneck says before he dies?...

..."Hey, watch THIS!!"

I feel ya, Striker. I have punk kids coming in to Radio Shack with their very overweight moms and skinny-ass dads/sperm donors just running around the store, having to touch everything, and because we're in a strip mall next door to a pizza parlor, 99% of the time, they're in there just killing time until the pizza's ready. Some of them even ask if we have some toys or RC cars for them to play with! We are not a day care center or an arcade! Teach your kids some manners or I'll rip out their spinal cords and skip rope with them!

I hate needles. I just don't like seeing a needle being stabbed in me. This is a new thing. As a kid I didnt care. But seven years ago I had a really bad infection in my thumb that was spreading through my hand was starting to attack my nerves. Waited one more day and I would have lost the thumb. Anyway, I was stuck in the ward with two IVs in me. One for morphine and the other for antibiotics. Both of them kept on popping out. In the end, I had a track lines all over both arms. One time the corpsman missed my vien seven times!

I think my fear came from when I had my appendix taken out. I have an incredibly high pain tolerance; when I had kawasakis, the my skin and organs were quite literally falling apart cell by cell and the appendicitis didn't even make me flinch, where its supposed to be as painful as giving birth. However, one nurse tried to put in a morphine drip. She stabbed me so hard, I screamed at the top of my voice with pain which was apparently heard several floors down. It turned out she'd manage to stab straight through the vein and into tissue below. And since, I have been petrified of anything pointy.

Aye...that is exactly what the trainee medic did in my out processing physical from the Army.

My GF was snooping around through my phone again, and found some incriminating texts. Too bad she doesn't understand the context of the conversation.

They never do, and if they did they wouldn't let trivialities like facts get in the way of a good rant.

Had a rather silly episode at work (a computer repair shop) yesterday. A desktop we were troubleshooting for a video problem was moved from a side area to the main work area and immediately seemed to stop putting out video at all. We tried different power supplies, memory, video cards and even CPUs until my boss (the store owner) noticed that the monitor we'd attached it to at it's new work station had been turned off the whole time.

oops.

Well, since he'd also failed to notice it for quite a while there's egg on both our faces.

Maybe if you did this to a few, the others would get the message?

I got out of retail a couple years ago, was either that or kill a few teenagers!


ON A BRIGHTER NOTE, my GF flies back to England in the morning, feels like its been a year but apparently its only been a week! "Looking forward to it" would be a major understatement!

Started college a couple of days ago and I am loving it! The subjects are finally providing a proper challenge for me, they are truly stimulating where my high school level education had really not been.

On a less positive note, work is fast losing it's charms. Im sure I will have a much stronger affinity for it when I get my first pay cheque but that's not till the 28th. Meanwhile my petrol money dwindles, especially difficult since I now have to ride every day (to college and to work). Cant wait for that pay cheque!

Welcome to the real world, Reliant.

So, I got a second job at the student help desk at the college I attend, So far it's been awesome, I get along with the coworkers and the idiots on the phone don't get to me. The most awesome part of it is that after working there only 4 days, the guy who does real IT, he runs around and fixes things, saw potential in me, and has started me working late shifts, til midnight and later, until I officially get transferred to him. I love doing the work he has me doing, and I can't wait to be doing this kind of stuff the whole time.

And I made another friend who sees me like a brother to her, which is awesome. I now have 4 best friends, two who are like sisters to me, and all of which are awesome.

Soccer game at 11:00... Ukrainian festival for lunch, music, and shopping... softball game at 2:15... exhausted dad at right about now.

At least Ukrainian Obolon Oksativye bock beer comes in 500 ml bottles, tastes great, and is 5.3% instead of 3.5%. Unfortunately, I probably can't get more too easily withou a contact in Kyiv or Odessa.

Friends are good, Nick.

Also, after having watched some old MST3K, I now realize why it was canceled by sci-fi. They'd have their own movies on there before long!

Just yesterday I noticed a few leaves fallen on the ground. Summer is almost over.

Ten days left, CPH. Summer passes and leaves fall. Time winds on and does not wait for mortals.
