I owe, I owe....So off to work I go

It is time for me to go to work and try to catch from two days of jury service. Time for me to deal with lazy co-workers and insane customers. Time for me to deal with bosses who don't know their job. Time for me to deal with retarded vendors who want everything and want to do nothing (mainly Coca-Cola). But most of, time for me to go to work and try to help change the store around for the best and help others because that is the type of person I am. A person that cares. A person that still has some hope. A person that turn down a job at a better place and making a $1.50 more because I CARE.

Ponder This

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Recite at a play and play at a recital?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

Why is the word "abbreviate" so long?

How can overlook and oversee be opposites while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

If a 7/11 is open 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year, why are there locks on the doors?

Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?

What is another word for "Thesaurus"?

If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?

Why is it when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship it's called cargo?

One Seat Away

I was one seat away from being a jury alternate. They picked the main jury but needed two alternates and there was only six of us in the jury pool. Six of us left after over 250 people. The six of us were questioned by judge, the assistant D.A. and then the defense attorney. They asks a lot of personal questions. After the questioning, two people were excused. Then the judge had to pick two people out of the four people. She picked the two people in the first two seat. I was in the third seat. Oh well, I did my part, but I want to serve on a jury. So, I guess I have to go to work tomorrow....UGH.

The SMACK of the gavel

Today is my day off, but I have to report back for jury duty. I kinda hope I am picked. It is a long, long process to pick a jury, but it is part of our responsibility for being a citizen of this country and I am happy to do my part. Plus it gets me out of work with pay. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Out of 225 possible jurors, they are still not done picking a jury and there are ten of us left in the jury pool. At the coffee is free, but I not a coffee drinker. Soon, I have to get ready to go down to courthouse to wait to have my number called and play my part in the justice system.

20 Ways to Confuse Trick or Treaters

20 Ways to Confuse Trick or Treaters


1. Give away something other than candy. (Toothpicks, golf balls, bags of sand, etc.)

2. Wait behind the door until some people come. When they get near the door, jump out, wearing a costume, and holding a bag, and yell, "Trick or Treat!" Look at them, scratch your head, and act confused.

3. Fill a briefcase with marbles and crackers. Write on it, "Top Secret" in big letters. When trick-or-treaters come, look around suspiciously, say, "It's about time you got here," give them the briefcase, and quickly shut the door.

4. Get about 30 people to wait in your living room. When trick-or-treaters come to the door, say, "Come in." When they do, have everyone yell, "Surprise!!!" Act like it's a surprise party.

5. Get everyone who comes to the door to come in and see if they can figure out what's wrong with your dishwasher. Insist that it makes an unnatural "whirring" sound.

6. After you give them candy, hand the trick-or-treaters a bill.

7. Open the door dressed as a giant fish. Immediately collapse, and don't move or say anything until the trick-or-treaters go away.

8. When you answer the door, hold up one candybar, throw it out into the street, and yell, "Crawl for it!"

13. When people come to the door, jump out a nearby window, crashing through the glass, and run as far away from your house as you can.

14. Answer the door dressed as a pilgrim. Stare at the trick-or-treaters for a moment, pretend to be confused, and start flipping through a calendar.

15. Instead of candy, give away colored eggs. If anyone protests, explain that the eggs are the only thing you had left over from Easter.

Trapped In A Room Without A View

I set in a boring meeting with a group of people dicussing that same crap that we have been talking about for three weeks and we still we made no progress. People whining about the same problems but unwilling to help fix problems in the store. i wasted two hours of my time listening to the same dribble today. Time, I needed to get my work done and I am way behind because I helped other people get their work done. The same people that are unwilling to help anyone else. On top of being behind, I may have to go in for jury duty tomorrow. I have to call after 11am. for a 12:30 p.m. jury appearance. I don't mind the jury duty, it is just I am so far behind at work and i know that no one is going to help me get caught up. I am always helping someone and no one helps me. I work in a sad, sad place.

And What's Your Street Sign


The Empire Strikes Back

Today is my day off and a much needed one. I work with a lot of lazy bums. I work at a place where good people are mentally abuse and beaten down and morons are rewarded. This place is full of evil. But today is my day off and I just finished watching the last movie in a trilogy called Star Wars: The Return of The Jedi. I could use a light saber at work, because the darkside of the force is strong in the place and getting stronger everyday. The rebels and try to put a strong fight, but we are constantly defeated. The rebellion needs help and the more people we get; the more we lose to the darkside of the force. Yoda and Obi-Wan help us
