it rained like crazy last night. there was thunder and lightning up to wazu. i slept in on this lovely, damp saturday morning until 10:00 and then decided to take violet (or, ivy as arwen calls her) for a walk to the park. we live a block away from a great big park with a rose garden and tennis courts and trails and a big swimming pool with slides and fountains! its nice. so me and ivy walked and i talked to her under my breath- you know, everyday things that you say to your dog when youre alone, like, "dude, stop yanking the leash", "what the frick is that smell? did you fart?!", "stop pulling! stop, violet! i said stop! fine, then youre going to sit here....sit. sit. no. i said sit. we will sit here until you stop pulling me around. no, sit.siiiit.sit. good.no, sit."
this is what most of the walk was like.
then we arrived at the very back darkest corner of the park, the creepy area. you know the one, the area that is under the shade of the trees, kind of smells like a butt. we were in that place, just passing through, and i look over and see a group of 3 men sitting at a picnic table all hunched over. i strain my neck to see whats going on and of course theyve got an actual mirror and razor and are doing drug type things! i kept walking and was trying to look natural, like i was cool with it, no problem here guys. i got the urge to call the police or something of that nature, but was a little nervous. i mean, seriously, what if they did something drastic like blew some of that crap in my eyes or worse! my nose! id be one of them.
i got the job! i got a newer better job! im so excited! my one true joy in life (besides all my other one true joys in life) is working with children. so, i was just hired to be a full time nanny. ive done it before and its a blast. it will be a little baby (who isnt born yet) named charles, it pays more than i make now, get lots of paid vacation, in a beautiful house and its only 4 days a week! good times. and it is something that i love to do! honestly, it makes me excited to do something i actualy want to do. how many people do we all know that are in a wretched job that they hate( i think that would be most of us)- im glad that i can say that im past that, for now. god is faithful. yay god.
i only write on my blog every week or so...sometimes every 2 weeks. i know i should do it more often, but i feel as though i am supposed to write something funny or witty- how am i ever supposed to compare to arwen??! i will never be at that level, i mean, lets get serious guys. so i have recently decided to blog about my life- even if it is not funny. no strings attatched- i just write about whats happening or what im thinking and it might even be boring! im sorry, but it is better to write and be boring than to not write at all....right?.....
i work at a screen printing shop. i am the production manager, i run the front office and deal with the customers. i kinda do everything. but really, i just tell myself that so i dont have to think about working at a random meaningless job. i often order garments from a company called american apparel, theyve got fun, cool clothes and the kids seem to dig their hip duds. but the picture you see above is just one of the many unfortunate shots in their catalog and i have yet to figure out why they think that this is going to help sell items! it is always an ackward moment with the customer, when we open the catalog together, only to find oursleves staring into the zoomed in crotch of a extremely hairy man. im finding it hard to upsell when i myself, dont enjoy looking at wieners. but i have found that i can instead use the pics to break the ice with new employees, "hey wesley, i know youre only 17 and still a little ackward, and i dont really know you but i want to show you something...ha ha! its a wiener! welcome aboard."
