So, I know I haven't updated in...like 3 weeks now, if not longer, and I'm sorry. I haven't really had anything to write about and if I did, I just flat out didn't have the time or motivation to update.
Well, the end of the semester came and went. Not gonna lie, that was my worst semester yet... but its over. I passed all my classes which honestly came as a bit of a surprise for a few of them. But now, I'm working my rear off. I'm working my night job as well as working full time as housekeeping over at RWC. Not the greatest job, but it's money and I get to work with my old truck mount (the machine used to clean carpets). Overall it's been crazy and hectic but I think it's worth it and it's keeping me sane/occupied. and I must say, I love working with most of the guys in facilities, they're all caring and just generally genuine guys. (and no, I"m not being sexist by calling them all "guys", they really are all guys. Shirley's the only exception and she's not really the talking type)
So, next semester's gonna be a killer for me...I'm taking 19 credits and am going to die. Lets just say, I'm going to have to quit my night job if I want to continue with my education productively... oh well, hopefully I can get a job working on campus. well, I guess that's about it. Maybe I'll update again in a couple days if I get bored again. Hope everyone has a great break if you get one.

my recent loathing
So, much to miss wibif's dismay, (she seems to constantly be the reason for my starting this blog...) I have uncovered a new hatred in my life. I think even hatred may not be strong enough a word to describe my complete and utter dislike...so lets go with "loathe"
*begin "rant"*
what is this thing that could be so horrible that such a loving and accepting (and humble too :-P ) should have such strong feelings against it? well, it is the chain restaurant known by all as "Friendlies." Now you're probably asking yourself "self, how could this person live his life with such a hatred against this family oriented business which has been around forever and loved by all?" well, let me tell you. As I think I have stated in previous entries in here, I clean theirs as well as Wendy's carpets. Now, I come in after all the people are gone (except a few employees) and clean to my heart's content.
This part will require some thinking on your part (unless you read straight through and are lazy). What is Friendly's know for? yep that's right, their ice cream. Now, what topping is typically put on top of the ice cream? if you said whipped cream, you would be technically correct, but for the purposes of my argument, you're wrong. The correct answer is a cherry. Now...what is attached the the cherry may I ask? yep, a stem. and what do you do with this stem? well, a normal person would take it off and place it in their napkin. Now, what of those who are not typically considered the "normal" type? well, they either eat the stem unknowingly, or the answer I was looking for and simply toss it and leave it where ever it may lay...
Put 2 and 2 together and what do you get? that's right 5 but that's not the point, the point is, the stems end up on the floor for little old me to clean up when I'm steaming the carpets. Now you're thinking (or probably are) that "whooped-doo" the steam cleaner just vacuums up the stems no problem. Well, you would be partially correct. It seems as though that cherry stems were created in such a manner that they curve just enough that they do not easily get vacuumed.... This means a significant increase in the amount of work that I have to do... blech
to date:
yesterday: 22 cherry stems
today: 15 cherry stems
and I'm changing my motto from "people are stupid" to "people are lazy"

nope
I don't wanna update my blog...
well...actually, I do, I just have nothing to actually update about. Same old stuff's goin on here. Pretty much I'm either procrastinating or just being outright bored out of my mind. Oh well, maybe in a couple days I'll actually have something to talk about? Here's hoping...
