So I was browsing menus and such for pizza places just now, and I came across something disturbing. Papa John's apparently has a way to text message your pizza order to them. Basically, you log in to the website, set up four "favorite orders", and when you want to order something, you text FAV followed by the number of one of those four orders ( Read more... )

Yeah, yeah. I never update. I'm a loser. Anyway, my Thanksgiving was like most...quiet, uneventful, that's about it. Mom and I made the food, Kenny and dad watched football, the dog requested a few bones and didn't get any. (Although she did manage to get some pork because my mother has no self control.) I was supposed to visit Nadia this ( Read more... )

I hit a squirrel driving home from work 2 nights ago. It darted out in front of me as I was going about 60 mph. It made it past driver-side tire, but should have stopped running. Passenger tire smashed him. I looked in my rear view as I heartlessly drove away, and there he was, flopping all over the road, his head probably 95% detached from the ( Read more... )

And now, a list ( Read more... )

I took the typing test for the City of Milwaukee today. (And since I may not have mentioned in a previous entry and am too lazy to look...I applied for an Office Assistant position for the City of Milwaukee and one for the Milwaukee Police Department about three weeks ago.) So the requirement to pass was 45 WPM or higher. So obviously I knew I ( Read more... )

After much convincing from Greg, I decided it was time to march into work and demand a raise. Okay, so I wasn't really demanding about it, but if they told me know, I had an ultimatum prepared. So anyway, I typed up a professional-sounding letter and gave it to one of the head guys. He said he was shocked to see such a well written letter. ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm tired. It has been a pretty busy week for me. My aunt and uncle from Reno got into town on Wednesday, so we saw them Wednesday night, all day Friday, and most of the day today. We didn't do much but sit around and talk, but it was still pretty exhausting. (In a good way, of course.) Today we actually went out in the back yard and had ( Read more... )

I'm tired so this will be short ( Read more... )

...a couple of silver spoons! Yeah, so they finally released Silver Spoons on DVD. (The first season, anyway.) For those of you who are uneducated about the subject, it is a show that ran from 1982-1987. I was about five when I was watching the reruns. Ricky Schroder was my first love. He was cute in the early years, but my heart skipped a ( Read more... )

Well, looks like I might be moving up to Milwaukee sooner than I anticipated. Yesterday at work, everyone was told hours are 8:00-4:00, no Fridays, until further notice. So that is averaging out to 28-30 hours a week. At 50 cents more than the Illinois minimum wage. On top of that, they laid off at least 11 people yesterday, and fired one girl ( Read more... )
