6月1日 Something newHaven't had much time to blog...there is something new going on and I am absorbed in it right now....I hopefully will be able to write about it soon, but not just yet.....
going on Vacation for the weekend! Maybe I will find the time to rest!
RD 5月22日 Nonsense and other dribbleWell, its been a while since I have had anything to say....I am still not sure if I have anything relevant to say or not...
I need to write a letter to my twitchy eye that has been making me nuts for the last few weeks now. I googled twitchy eye and apparently its either from some strange brain malignancy or fatigue/stress. I am hoping it is just fatigue/stress and not a brain malfunction....not that my brain functions normally to begin with.
On to other news...Wal-Mart has not been too bad here recently...customers do ask a lot of plant questions which they assume since I work in Lawn and Garden that I have the knowledge to answer the question. A lot of times I have to get the big ginormous book of plants we have and look it up for them but as long as your helping them they don't seem to mind.
My lab job is going well...they have put me over at another building where they house mice that are being treated/tested for a possible cure for MS. If you have the stomach for it you can google EAE and click on the link that talks about Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis. If reading about animals in research upsets you or makes you angry then don't read it. The mice require total support and care which takes my whole day caring for them and they are cared for very well and made as comfortable as possible and NEVER allowed to suffer needlessly, they are given so many hours from the onset of the disease to turn around and get better, and if they don't they are humanely euthanized, and I get to work on my own, without a lot of people hovering. The most frustrating thing is the language barrier with some of the Investigators. Their english is rough, and it gets difficult to fully communicate what you want to them. I wind up using a lot of hand gestures and mimic gestures to get my point across....for example: If the mouse's eyes are irritated I point to my eye and and squint or blink and they seem to understand. But how do you explain to someone that their mouse has swollen testicles??

Warning label on a fishing lure. "Dardevle Fishing Lure: Harmful If Swallowed"
I will keep that in mind while I am fishing....
5月9日 Update from Wally hell!Well, I didn't observe the Cinco De Mayo boycott....if it makes anyone feel any better I did celebrate at a Japanese Steak house having sushi....sorry, but I don't care if these people are here...we shouldn't be mad at them for being here...be mad at our government for letting them in and making it easy for them to stay illegally....but anywho...on to more exciting things...
I don't want this to be a huge blog so I will do a brief update of Wally Hell....while it may or may not be a fun/good place to shop...it is a terrible place to work....the hours suck, the pay sucks, the employees royally suck...THEY ARE SOOOO MEAN!!!! Customer service is not one of the strong points there apparently...I myself do try to be nice and polite to the customers, but occasionally I find myself being myself...a smart ass...for example:
Customer: "Where can I find toilet paper?"
Me: "In the bathroom."
Customer: "Where can I find a door mat?"
Me: "Usually in front of a door."
Customer: "How much does this bag of charcol weigh?"
Me: "Well, the bag says 15 lbs so I am going to take a wild guess and say 15 lbs."
Co-Worker: (see's me watering plants) "What are you doing? Watering the plants?"
Me: "No, I am taking the hose for a walk."
I could really write a book about this place, but would probably get sued...
All the animals are fine, FT job is going well, I don't have to work near as hard as I do at WH.
I am off a few nights this week and will try to write more, its all jumbled in my head and dying to get out!

" Plenty of Corona with Lime makes for a really good time!!!!!" Ratdoc 4月22日 On my favorite political moron.....and other nonsenseI don't know why, but I can't help just being in awe at Donald Rumsfeld....I mean seriously....google quote by this man and you will be amazed at the ridiculous things he says....
When asked about the location of the WMD's he replies "We know where they are. They are iin the area around Tikrit and Baghdad, and east, west, north and south somewhat."
Well, that makes it a whole lot easier to understand now doesn't it....He makes me laugh, and wonder how in the world he got into the position he was in, and why hasn't he been removed from it yet?
So far nothing of great hilarity has happened at my Lab job. All in all its a very serious place.....but it s the gov't so what do you expect....but now Wally Hell is full of hilarity...let me elaborate...
I worked last night from 6-11 pm..when I first go there it was starting to rain...which we really need so it was good. My superior there ( a woman who has worked there for 6 years!) hands me what feels like a 20lb hammer and a box of nails and tells me to go outside and create a display for the trellises we have lying around in boxes...they had built a strange wooden scaffold for them to be hung from..."um..ok" I said. So I go out side, its just sprinkling so I don't really mind and start hammering these nails and hanging these really awkward metal trellises from it...it starts raining harder so I gather my stuff and proceed into the green house where I am met by store manager B. "Are you done already?" he asked. " no, but its raining really hard" I replied. He then walks away and comes back a few minutes later with a rain slicker and hands it to me. "there you go....we have to have these all hung up tonight." So in the now pouring down rain I am out there with this too small rain coat, water running off of it soaking my pants and no hood so my hair is soaked and water is pouring into my eyes as I nail away and hang 5 more boxes of trellises onto the scaffold. I hope it collapsed over night.
I go inside to dry off with the pile of papertowels B hands me and decide that I am going to the bathroom to sit under the air dryer in there until I am dry. "meet me in the stockroom when your finished" B states. So I dry off a bit and go see what kind of weird torture is next. B pushes a dolly, the jack kind you slide under pallets and pump up to pull the pallet of crap around on. Let me just remind you that I am a science nerd....I am used to working with very small surgical instruments and microscopes and stuff like that....totally inept when it comes to navigating a piece of equipment such as what he gave me.....so this was really interesting. B then tells me to help unload the truck of food that has just arrived. " I'm not to sure I know how to do this" I told him, but he just says "Sure, just pull the pallet out and take it to the fridge" I am supposed to be gardening people...not heaving and hoeing pallets of canned food around.....but, I do as I am told and proceed to crash an entire pallet of EGGS!!!!! into the nearby pallet of boxes containing god only knows what. B just shakes his head and finally asks me " have you ever used one of these???" refering to the pallet jack thingy..." UM..NO!" I replied.."can you show me before I get crushed by a pile of frozen Jimmy Dean sausage?" I asked. So needless to say I recieved a lesson in pallet jack driving last night. All the while a group of men that unload the truck sat back and laughed at me trying to steer this mechanical nightmare.
I work again today from 12-9, its raining again and I can only wonder what kind of weird crap I will have to do today!
Critters are all good, nothing to report there...currently all sitting in the window sill, except the dog of course, watching it rain and snoozing.

Label on a 12-inch high storage rack for CD's "DO NOT USE AS A LADDER" 4月17日 Hysterical Monday...Ok, well it is not really hysterical.....but its monday so I either have to laugh or I will cry!
Today...I ripped the front fender off of someones car in the parking garage at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea what the heck I was doing but I did a good job of it! My rear tire of my pride and joy truck caught this boobs front fender and RIIIIPPPPPPP.......sliced my very expensive tire wide open and scratched my paint.... It was totally my fault for not paying attention to the fact that he was parked so close to me that a piece of paper couldn't get in between us...Totally My fault. So I changed my tire, and waited to see who the poor sap was that now has a nice missing front fender and busted headlight...after an hour here he came...Of course he speaks very little english and was astounded at what had happened.. I swear if my tire hadn't been sliced I would have just kept on driving if I knew what was going to happen next. I had my insurance information ready for him and wanted to collect his, HE wanted me to just give him money. I thought for 30 seconds and said "NO" I mean, that's what I pay insurance for isn't it? Should I have just given him money....I think not! So he starts yelling in some foriegn language for about 10 minutes, the whole time I am kicking myself for not just driving away...finally I convinced him to give me his insurance information and we parted...I was fuming by then, I mean crap...I was nice about it...I apologized til I was blue in the face and he still was tripping out. Sheesh....it wasn't even that nice a car to begin with!
I immediatly called my insurance and filed the claim so its out of my hands and I can do nothing more but wait to see what my insurance rates sky rocket to now....It is my first accident EVER! So do I laugh about it? or cry? I really don't care about it...Its over and done with and there is nothing I can do to change it so life goes on. Secretly though I think my Jesus Peep blog might have pissed of someone of higher power and this was their little revenge... SORRY!!!!!!!!
FUN TIMES AREN'T THEY!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! LOL!
