Back to school

Well here I am back in school. Well actually about two weeks into school now. This semester I am on academic probation so I have to do well or I will be suspended next year. To tell you the truth it almost sounds tempting. I changed my major last semester, from Education to Criminal Justice. It's pretty fun. I just got out of History of Civilization with Dr. Hull. That is a pretty cool class. He is a good teacher. I went and talked to Professor Ganster today to ask him about my classes for next semester. Anyway, we got to talking about me not being able to read that well so he went with me to talk to the "disabilities advocate" to get help with this. Now I am gonna have to go see a psychiatrist and get dianosed with a learning disability. Sounds like fun huh?

Just another day in paradise

Argh! School is starting in ten, count 'em, ten days. It should be kinda cool though, I changed my major so maybe it will be a little more interesting for me. I was majoring in Special Education but now I am majoring in Criminal Justice with a Law Inforcement concentration. It will be fun to be a cop, maybe I'll get to shoot someone. One can hope. Man having no job and no school is damn boring. I do nothing but sit on my ass all day now. It is driving me crazy. Hopefully we will get to move into our new apartment today or tomorrow. Keith finally said "We will have the bathroom finished for sure tomorrow." He said that yesterday so we will see what happens. Yesterday was Clint's 21st birthday. My 21st is in about a month and a week or so. I am not that excited though. I don't drink so there isn't much of a difference between 20 and 21 when you don't drink. I can't wait until I am 25. That is the year I won't be under my parents anymore, and all my previous mishaps with the law will disappear too. God I am bored to death. One would figure in a bigger town there would be more to do...well actually there is more to do, but you need money for everything to do. Unfortunately, one side-affect of not having a job is having no money. Like Jim says, "Oh, well" "Shit happens." "Life goes on." Man I miss that job. I think with this blog I am gonna put a quote everyday, not a quote by a famous person or anything like that, but a quote that I hear with my own ears. The first quote I will start with is a really funny quote I heard while Robo and his wife were watching Battlestar Galactica. By the way, its a retarded show don't ever watch it. Anyway here is the quote.

Check it out!!! I'm dead!

Check it out people. I was googling people that I know, on the images page and I found my name on a tombstone, I think it's awesome. Well I don't have much else to say so I will just put a period at the end of this sentence.

just an after thought

I was just thinking and I thought, "man since I haven't updated in a long time no one is gonna see my site anymore." Than it hit me...I am gonna put specific words on this entry like...boobs...tits...sex...Britney Spears...so that when people do Google searches they will find my site, I think that was the best idea I've ever had.

Most of the time..life sucks

The last entry I made about getting a job helping old people...well forget about it, I got fired. It was a bunch of bullshit. I was working there from the last entry I made until like 4 days ago. While I was there the boss (a female, I think this may be part of the reason I was fired) asked me if I would work two (2) graveyard shifts a week. I thought easy pickens, so I took it. Anyway I worked my regular shifts in the week and then I would work the over nights on the weekends. This went on for about a month. Than one day, on my day off, my boss calls me and asks if we can talk. So anyway I show up at her office and she tells me that I had been falling asleep on my night shifts which is bull because when I went in on my night shifts I would bring Robo's Playstation or his Game Cube. And if you know me well enough I would pick video games over sleep any day of the week. Then she also tells me that I was cheating on my time card. I thought to myself, how in the hell could you cheat on these things, they are the old kind ya know where you gotta take the piece of paper and place it into the machine and it prints the date and time and all that right...so how am I supposed to cheat on it. As if she was reading my mind Deana (my former female boss) says "You wrote in a time, and it was the wrong one." Then, as if this wasn't enough, she tells me that I am sexually harrassing people at work. Which I think is crap. I may tell a sexual joke every now and then but thats it. It ruined my whole day. Now I am stressing looking for a new job and thinking that school is starting soon. God...Life sucks sometimes.

another entry

well here is another entry for my boring life. I started a new job, I help disabled people live. It's pretty easy, and its kinda fun. Except there is this lady there that just drives me crazy. We will call her...Diana. (Cuz that's her real name so I think we should use it) Anyway she is just a retard. She always says stupid stuff, one time she even fell asleep at work. I just wanna slap her once, then I would be happy. Plus she's like fifty years old so she isnt even fun to look at or anything. Oh well I guess there will always be people like that in this world...or thats what my dad tells me anyway. Dary and I are gonna move in with Robocop for a little while, I am trying to get us into a basement apartment but so far it isnt working. I went to Subway today to pick up my last check it was kinda cool, I got a hundred bucks for nothing it seems like. So I got a check and a Subway sandwich.

Job Hunting

Went job hunting yesterday, all day yesterday. The day before yesterday I heard that the carnival was setting up in town and I thought hey maybe they will need some help for a couple of days and maybe I can make a few bucks. Wrong! She said she only wanted to hire people that would travel with her. My mom always said that I would run away with the circus but I think she ment it in a metaphorical way. Anyway the circus was setting up in the Mall parking lot, so I figured the mall has lots of stores in it. Somewhere must be hiring. The only two that were hiring were Subway and the Hot Topic so I go applications for both, and sat down at the table there and filled them out. By the way I hate filling out applications. Anyway I finish then go to the stores and give them back. The lady at the Hot Topic said that I need to come back and talk with the District Manager later and Subway said we aren't hiring. I was like "What!?" and pointed at the "Now Hiring" sign. She said oh that just means that another Subway in Great Falls in hiring. Luckily for me there are only two (2) Subways in Great Falls. So I brought my application to the other Subway and the manager said come back and talk to me at about 2 o'clock because we are busy now. So I leave and come back at two and the employees tell me that he isn't there. So I talked to the assistant manager, and he called the manager and he told me to come in tomorrow at two (2) for an interview. So tomorrow (today) comes around and I go to Subway and he isn't there again. The Ass. Man. calls him again, but this time he's on his way. So I sit and wait. While I am waiting I notice there are alot of girls in line waiting to get a sandwich from Subway. Then I noticed that ALL of them were standing on their tip-toes. Then I thought about it more and thought I bet they don't even realize that they are all standing on their tip-toes, I mean they probably do it so often in their lives that they don't even realize they do it when they are doing it. Sorry that was something only I would notice. Anyway after an eternity of waiting John the manager shows up.  He says, "Hello, Charles I was looking at your application..." "Call me Chip" "Oh...Hello, Chip I was looking at your application and you look like a perfect canididate for this job. I love the date you can start...yesterday. Let's go look at the schedule and see when we can fit you in." So go into his "office" (just a corner with a desk in it) and I start tomorrow at 11. Cool huh.

Gawd, another update

Well this week has been a pretty good week. I quit my job at Town Pump last week cuz I was sick of the bull crap. Being at the bottom of the food chain isn't very exciting. Everything that went wrong always seemed to be my fault for some reason or another. So I am rigorously (is that the right word?) job hunting. I thought living in a bigger city it would be easy to find a job, but it ain't. People keep saying "We'll call you back." Yep you guess it...they don't. So I went to talk to Twila, she is the chick that hires people to work on campus. She tells me, "The school isn't making enough money to hire any summer help, but you could talk to Chet about working in the plant." So there I go off to find Chet. While I am looking for Chet I think to myself, boy I am glad I made friend with Chet along time ago, we were in English class together my first semester here. Anyway I find Chet. He is sitting eating his lunch, it didn't even occur to me that it was 12:30. I ask him about a job, and with a mouthful of food he says "I have a couple of positions open." We go back to his office...By the way I have to say the building he was eating his lunch in is this nasty run down building that smelled like mildew, then we go in his office and its one of those nice offices that you see in the movies, just without the big window. Anyway we go into his office, just my luck he can't find an application. so he tells me to run back across campus to another lady who will have an application. So here I go across campus, again, and find Betty who gives me an application. I go into the business office to fill it out. Like I said it was lunch time so no one was around. I just stood there at the counter filling this thing out. While I am doing this I hear that my girlfriend is going to receive a $500 check that she should've gotten January of last year. So I finish filling this thing out and go to find Chet, but where is Chet? My girlfriend tells me she saw him go in this building. So I go in this building and all the doors are shut. How am I supposed to know which one Chet went into. So I just slowly walk up and down the halls listening for his voice. Then I hear his voice behind a door (imagine that!). While I am standing outside the door I think now what do I do, stand here and wait for him, or be a rude ass and bust in like I am Mr. Important. I only think about this for a second before I knock on the door I don't hear anything so I just open the door. There is Chet sitting with 4 other people having a meeting. I had Chet the completed application and he tells me to come and see him for an interview tomorrow. So I call him today (tomorrow) and I ask him when I should come in and she says, "come in about the same time you came in yesterday" so now I am just sitting in front of my computer waiting for time to go by and updating this God forsaking thing.

OK, OK, I'll update

So here I am eating Ramen noodles and updating my blog, because everyone says, "Chip you should update." So I am updating. I am sick and tired of working at Town Pump. I applied at NEW and at REX. Both jobs will earn me more money than the job I have now. Right now (on a good month) I will make 600 bucks a month. I was just talking to the guy at REX and he said they get about 500 bucks twice a month. I am surprised Town Pump has any workers at all at the low rate that they are paying. I was hoping that maybe Shawn would right be back but I didn't get his letter today. Oh BTW, Shawn MacDonald is innocent. Before Christmas last year he was watching his son in his house. Shawn's son, Orion, fell asleep so Shawn thought well I'll put him here on the couch and I will go make me some hot dogs. So Shawn puts the kid on the couch and heads to the kitchen, while in the kitchen Shawn hears a thump. He runs into the room to see what happened and his son had fallen off of the couch and hit his head on the floor. Like any normal father Shawn freaks out and calls his wife. He and his wife take Orion to the hospital. 'Rion is fine now but they threw Shawn in jail for ten years with a "child abuse" offense. So Shawn is sitting, wasting ten years of his life, in jail for nothing. It's ridiculous.

Yesterday was very odd. I went to work at Town Pump like I always do. Anyway I am there and I get this customer that eerily looks like a jailor I was in jail with. It almost made me sick he looked so much like him. So I got up the balls to ask him if he had a brother or something that just got out of jail because I had to know. He told me that it was his twin brother, and that he had gotten out of jail. And then on top of that another of my customers was another guy I was in jail with. He is an RN but I am not sure what his name is. We just sat and chatted a little bit. It was just an odd day.

Finally Chip has come back!

Well here I am sitting on my duff waiting for time to go by like usual. I went to jail last week, that was a trip let me tell ya. It is very different in jail, people (by the way my girlfriend is the smartest person in the world!) in jail amaze me. When I was there people were playing poker and they were betting Ramen Noodles. Isn't that crazy!? It was just the weirdest thing. People on the outside say "I'll betchya five bucks the Dolphins will win the Superbowl." If this guy was talking to an inmate, the inmate would say, "I betchya your breakfast they won't." I had to take a shower in front of 34 other guys.
   
I was driving home from work one night and got pulled over for speeding, I didn't have insurance so he took my drivers lisence and went and sat in his car for hours like they always do. Anyway he came back and said "why are you driving with a suspended lisence?" and I said, "I didn't know it was suspended." He said, "Hmm, let me check on it." So he went back to his car and sat there for another hour or so. So he comes back and says, "Your lisence was suspended because you haven't been paying your fines." I thought that's a bunch of crap because I had made a payment on my fines earlier that month. So anyway, this cop, Mr. Flood, gave me three tickets. One for speeding, one for no insurance, and one for driving while suspended. I had to see the judge on Monday morning. Monday morning comes and see Judge Sam Harris. He says, "you are ignorant and irresponsible. Obviously fines aren't enough for you. I am sentencing you to five days mandatory incarceration with a $285 bond. Sit over here and we will transport you to the jail." My girlfriend was outside in the car waiting when I was heading to the car to be transported I stopped and told her that I was going to jail. She looked very shocked, and said, "ok, want some money." It wouldn't do me any good later but I took some anyway. I went to jail blah, blah, blah. I get out of jail five days later. Come to find out that it wasn't me that had a suspended drivers lisence, it was another guy with my exact name and exact birthdate. So my dad was furious calling around getting this sorted out, he did eventually. So they took that off my record, however I still don't have my drivers lisence. It's stuck in limbo somewhere.
