Yesterday I learned that my wage has been adjusted. My company conducts wage surveys to ensure that we're paid the average rate for everyone who does the same job in the city. So now I've been given an extra dollar per hour, completely unexpectedly. The only reason I didn't like my job is because I don't make a lot of money. The benefits have ( Read more... )

So I went to the 7-11 to buy some gas tonight on my way home from work, but they had no gas. I went inside to exercise my free Big Gulp privileges and there was some ranting annoying guy who was apparently from a gulf city. He kept going on about how stupid it was that all of the people from Austin bought up all the gas. He kept saying things ( Read more... )

I found out earlier today that my favorite little doggy, Browney, died tragically in a motor vehicle mishap sometime between new years eve and yesterday. My brother found a doggy body approximately matching Browney's description, but nearly unrecognizable, on the highway yesterday. This sucks a lot. I grew up with Browney. That was not the way ( Read more... )

It's been forever since I updated this thing. Since my computer just got fixed, I'll try to write occasionally, but I can't promise anything. I've been working my butt off at the alamo, so the past few weeks have been little more than a blur. I can say that I have a pool table in my living room, but I guess that's all the news I've got for now. ( Read more... )

I've now been kissed by 2/3 of the Monte Montgomery trio. This most recent was a much less tactful attempt than those from Monte himself. This time it was a drunken 40-something Phil Bass (drummer). And it wasn't a friendly peck on the cheek either. It was a full-out sloppy, open-mouthed, sloppy attack on my face. And unfortunately I was ( Read more... )

Harry Knowles is fat and stinky.

I've been reading my old journals from the last 3 years and they're pretty funny. I used to write really well and so many funny things popped out at me. For example, the pirate nun. I don't remember a thing she said, but I'll never forget her face, complete with eyepatch. As productive as this entry is, I just looked over and realized it's ( Read more... )

My hero knows my name and calls me baby when he comes over to see me. I feel like a 14 year old girl at a backstreet boys concert. He's been my hero for like 4 years now and he's finally acknowledging my existence. Now at his shows he's really playful with me and even kisses me on the cheek or makes playfully dirty jokes about my tongue piercing ( Read more... )

It took me 2.5 hours to get home from work tonight. And part of that time was spent walking half a mile from where I left my car on the side of the highway. The nice people who make the roads safer have somehow made it completely impassible since a little after 2 pm today (friday). They were attempting to put in a traffic light at Boulder Ln. and ( Read more... )
