True Comfort

Hot food in my tummy. Hot shower cleansed my flesh. Heating paid is relaxing my back. And a warm cat is purring in my lap. All is right with the world.

GHOSTBUSTERS! That franchise has been a staple of my life since I was five and would watch the Saturday morning cartoon. I can almost quote 1 and 2. Hell, I still have my Slimer hand puppet I g...

Dry Cured Meats

Was just raiding the fridge for a snack when I came across a pack of hard salami sliced well over a month ago. Dry cured meats take a bit longer to spoil. Currently licking my lips of my salami ...

Toasted And Roasted

Had to apply some Icy Hot to my left shoulder. Slept funny then made it worse picking up parts out of the baskets and replacing them after machining. I have to bend down around the waist and re...

Worn Out x's Two

Geez, if last night wasnā€™t busy then tonight was. Flipped one of the parts over to run the other side and that only took thirty to forty seconds. The other was two or three minutes. I ran myse...

Worn Out

Physically and mentally. Both machines kept me busy on my feet all night. It was mentally draining screwing with the part day shift guy set up. Tool holder wasnā€™t tightened enough and the meas...

Lying on the couch, fighting sleep. Donā€™t know why. My back, knees and feet hurt even after taking some Tylenol. Started reading Hannibal last night. Mason Verger is the most sadistic villain...

Hannibal The Cannibal

My right eye is irritated. I keep tearing up and itā€™s itchy. Annoyingly evil. Speaking of evil, the last two nights Iā€™ve gotten back into Silence of the Lambs. Iā€™ve got roughly 100 pages left. ...

The Joy Of Cooking

4:00 AM, canā€™t sleep. Not that Iā€™m trying to. I havenā€™t cooked since starting the new job. Saturday I was way too worn out and Sunday we went to Guadalajara. Mom had the taco salad and I a c...

Today Sucks

I was a minute late clocking in for work today. In my haste to get out the door I forgot my phone charger and Bluetooth speaker so no decent tunes for me tonight. There is a radio but the radio...


Five grand a semester. I still want it but canā€™t afford it.


Book Description

I came on my own volition.
I am the man that got away.

Work -
Tonight I clocked in at 4:30 PM and it was suddenly Wednesday when I worked 6:45 AM to 6 PM with only an hour lunch break and on my feet the rest. I was trying to relieve Logan in the back who was frying chicken both for our loose case and boxed hot case so he could go to lunch. Instead I got mixed with a redneck who wanted a Philly steak and cheese. I made his sandwich to order only to be confronted with the elderly gentleman behind him. He, to this shit. o, wanted a Philly. I was annoyed. Angry. Granted chicken side cooking sucks At least youā€™re away from the customers. I can, ā€œpretendā€, like Iā€™m cooking chicken in the back but dick around for ten minutes, which actually rarely happens. You learn to smile and accept this shit. Made him his sandwich, didnā€™t stop to ask the next customer if he needed help. Instead, went straight to the back and told Logan to take his lunch, I was taking over, box up what just came up out the fryer and weā€™re good.

It was just one of those days. People wonder why I get stoned before work.

I.
Am.
Robot.

Tell.
Me.
What.
Is.
Next.

Iā€™m versatile.
Put me in any situation and I come victorious.
Even on the bad days.

So when I go the hardcore bitch mode of my assistant manager on Wednesday after my eleventh hour there. I got irate.

I know she does a job for two.
Her boss/my boss sucks ass.
But fuck....Iā€™m part time.
If you want to bitch and yell about the shit that the full timers didnā€™t doā€¦bitch to them.
DONā€™T MAKE ME DO THEIR FUCKING SHIT THE LAST HOUR Iā€™M THERE!
Iā€™ve been working for this slave camp for three and a half years.
I lost my insurance last year due to me being stupid and the store manager catching on. Which is actually a big blessing. I havenā€™t missed a day in a year.

But Iā€™ve been there for every shift.
Sleep, no sleep?
Fuck it.
Show up for work.
The computer takes over on schedule and now I donā€™t qualify for our good insurance.
I have to take the government stuff?
OK.
Iā€™m a democrat.
Lifelong.
BUT FUCK YOU OBAMA!
Donā€™t tell me what to do.
Iā€™ll go another year without health insurance.
I want my good Blue Cross Blue Shield Back.
Make my job give me the hours back for insurance.

People close to me say I need to see a therapist.
After A.A. and an almost check in at rehab.
Maybe I do need anti-depressants.

This is a rant with no one I know reading this.
Its liberating.

I welcome ProseBox into my life.
