So, yeah, I decided to cook with, yet again, what we had handy in the house. Made some more pizza dough, this time, i made some like Mac and Cheese Bacon Rolled things, and, my gf pulled out a bag of O'Briens Potatoes, whatever the hell that means, potatoes, onions and peppers, how THATS "O'Briens Potatoes" I'll never know. I met Ken O'Brien once, he was pretty cool. So I made a pizza with the side flopped over onto the top kinda pizza with that.
Both came out well, but, the O'Briens Potatoes since I've never used them previous, I didn't really mess around with them and they seemed a bit bland, maybe some seasonings next time, and, I STILL can't seem to get the right amount of Garlic and Italian type seasonings right to get that flavor out of the crust, you know, by mixing it in.
What else went on? My gf and her sister are trying to get me to try out for Jeopardy, I keep saying with how MY luck is, I'll get 5 catagories I don't know NOTHING about, and look liek a complete Doomaas (and I guess by definition a Dubai as well, as, you know, Dubai... I'ts The Same Thing as Doomaas) on network TV.
but we'll see I guess, I mean, whatelse do I have to do during the day?
Not much I can tell you that.
I am going shopping tomorrow for food to cook in the near future. Mad cooking will be going on here.
Other than this, I'm ripping the skin off my thumbs, so, thats kinda exciting... wow I'm mad spacey right now...

A Very Telling Experiance
Yeah, I know, I prolly spelled Experience wrong, but whatever, wanted to relay this story.
So, I wake up feeling like shit, I may have mentioned that my gf and her sister have been sick, both seem fine now, and now I'm sick. I'm not really one to whine and bitch about this, my previous job, in 3 and a half year I missed 2 and 2 half days due to not being able to work, and, the 2 FULL days were due to horrible root canal pain from the previous night.
So, I do what I need to do regardless.
Anyways, I wake up still feeling like shit, take some dayquill. Last 2 I had. So now my options are NOT take any medicine when i need to like 4-6 hours later, or, get off my lazy ass and go get some.
I decided to fiddle about on the net looking for jobs, no luck again today before I went out and got my meds. Hit around 12pm or so, I'm starting to get a little more stuffed, start sucking on the last chloroseptic I had, and, got myself up, put one some clothes, ugh the thought of me, you know, SANS clothes is disgusting to me as well, tell Holly that I'm going around the block to Rite Aid, put my jacket on, start jiggling my keys at Holly, so, she starts barking and doing her little happy holly dog dance deal, we hit the car, put on some R.L. Burnside, head on down the road.
The rite aid near me is only like around the block, so, it's not a long car ride. Anyways, get there, go in, grab a bag of Cinnamon Teddy Bear cookies, u know, they kinda are a knock off of teddy grahams, buck a bag, they make a good little treat for Holly whem shes being a good girl in the room, and head off to grab my medicine, walking down some of the food aisles, wondering if they have what I was looking for to make something for dinner.... they don't, was thinking that after my success with pizza yesterday I'd make pepperoni pinwheels or something to that effect, but no mozzerella and not pepperoni at Rite Aid, head off to the cough and cold aisle, the brand Nyquill and Day Quill were onsale, but out of stock, so, I got me a 20/40 dayquill nyquill split and a box of 20 dayquill. Rite Aid brand, even off sale and the brand onsale, the Rite Aid was a buck cheaper. Start walking out of the aisle and remember that I had finished my last throat losenge before I came out, so, I went and bought the rite aid version of that, hey, 3.15 compared to 5.99.... thats almost a gallon of gas!!!!
Anyways, get to the front, and, whose ringing me up? The store Manager. I found this odd cause when I worked for that heartless drug chain, it WASN'T Rite Aid BTW, the DAY Crew consisted of.... 3 cashiers... 2-3 MANAGERS (combination of store manager an assistants) and/or a head cashier and shift supervisor... a photo tech... a cosmetics person, and most days a Hallmark person......
I look around and realize, this man is here ALL BY HIMSELF. Dudes, the STORE MANAGER was the ONLY one working in the front store part of this Rite Aid....
When would a better oppertunity present itself to ask about a job than RIGHT NOW....
I have asked previous at this location, as 10+ years retail pharmacy experience you would think would get me a job, the people have always been nice and given me what are REAL excuses as to why that particular location WASN'T hiring, I even left my resume and asked if they would call if they DID have an opening...
Anyways, I asked the Store Manager about a job, and, he explained that the company isn't allowing him to hire any new employees at the moment. I kinda chuckled and said that it sure looks like he needed the help as he seemed to be doing everything in the store at the moment... good natured kinda guy he chuckled again, and explained the company won't even give him the hours he needs to put people on where needed at the moment either.
I like that the people out here have good attitudes, if this was a New York store manager, and, I've worked directly with some, they would be bitching up a storm they didn't have a head cashier or shift supervisor to respond to casher needs, and whine and cry and bitch and than not do ANYTHING but sit in the office sending text messages. One girl I used to work with in particular used to do this during the day. When she had no help, she'd just sit in the office and decided that if she had to walk back and forth to anwser employee problems, she wasn't gonna do nothing but sit on her ass in the office the whole shift. I thought she was nice, she was counted as a friend when she worked with me on my shift, but she went to the day and that was that.
Anyways, thats the kind of way people in NY deal with that... in Cali it sure seems people are more willing to do what they need to do, as opposed to throwing a bitchy hissyfit and doing NOTHING.... I felt bad for this guy, but at least he had a smile on his face....
Sadly, that's the situation I seem to be in out here... the guy CLEARLY needs the help, be it hours for current employees OR to hire someone to work DURING the day, but I guess for whatever reason, business being slow? not enough profits? whatever, the company doesn't allow them too do what needs to be done.
Leads me to think that maybe upper management in Rite Aid might have taken some hints from the way the heartless drug chain I used to work for does business, and to how they treat their employees, which is a shame, cause that Rite Aid is FULL of amazingly wonderful and helpful employees. It makes me proud when I get one of those printed recipts with the survey on the bottom, to take 5 or 6 minutes to call in and do it, especially when the SPECIFIC store is amazing and the people there care, even if it sure seems like the companies upper management may have forgotten to.

Dubai... It's The Same Thing as Doomaas...
I am so hopped up on myquill right now, that I can't stop laughing at this other old adage from my friend and ex coworker Matt, you remember him, the one who was always asking the age old question... "Is It Doody Or DooDEES?, and, it's prolly not a good thing that I am laughing, I'm not yet passed out ready cause of the nyquill, and, I'm just chilling in bed with my gf, watching a horrible movie called Backwoods with Haylie Duff, while trying to see how fast I can finish a game of solitare on the computer, my record so far? 137 seconds, and, it's like 1230am or so, and, my gf and her sister both have to work tomorrow, and, me being the bum I am at this moment in time, I don't, so, I can't very well keep laughing and waking them up, especially since my gfs sister has threatened me on multiple occasions if she had heard this...
Me: Hey, have you heard?
GF's Sister: Heard what?
Me: That Dubai... is the same thing as Doomaas?!!?
GF's Sister: yeah, I've heard that way more than I would've liked, and, you're just lucky I worked all day or I'd get up and smack you right in your face.
So, if I awoke the residents of my house that are sleeping by laughing at something like, Dubai... It's The Same Thing As Doomaas...
I'd prolly be sleeping in my car tonight... which I guess wouldn't be SO bad, since, while it SEEMS chilly out, I could get away with the state of mind, I COULD still be in NY and its like 20 and snowing there....
But back to this adage....
I don't really know where Matt came up with this, nor do I have ANY sort of clue what the fuck that shit means, but, I DO KNOW, I get a chuckle out of it everytime I hear it in my head, since, well, it's MATTS voice in my head saying it... even more funny is that when I SAY it, I don't hear MY voice, I hear MATTS voice... I guess thats more weird that funny tho, because, I should be hearing my voice. You know I bet I know how THAT conversation would go...
Me: Dubai... its the same thing as Doomaas....
Gf's Sister: dude, shut the fuck up.
Me: Did I say that?
Gf's Sister: Uh.... yeah...
Me: Weird, I hear Matt's voice when I'm saying it, even tho the words are coming from my mouth. See I KNOW this, and yet STILL, I hear Matt's voice?
Gf's Sister: Yeah, I don't know who Matt is, but your really strange
So yet I add another question for the ages.... What the fuck does that mean? I mean, Matt, when he started saying this, I believe he heard the word "Dubai" on the radio, without actually HEARING what the story was about... It prolly went something like, Matt was fiddling about on his iPhone, and, wasn;t hearing the radio, just, i guess.... imagine the teacher from Peanuts, you know, the Charlie Brown and Snoopy cartoons? Well, imagine that for 5 or 6 miutes... than say Dubai... than 5 or 6 more minutes of the Peanuts teacher....
Than, we got to an area to do some work, and... BLAM...
Matt: Hey, Dubai... its the same thing as doomaas!!!!!
rolls off his tounge.
I know when ASKED about Dubai, Matt didn't have ANY clue about what the hell Dubai actually was, in fact, I kinda doubt that Matt to this day, knows what Dubai ACTUALLY is, THIS being the ONE fact I know about this old adage leads me to rule out, 100%, that he isn't saying the people of or the country of Dubai ITSELF are Doomaas'. Anyone that knows Matt would agree 100% with me....
So, subtracting this, what the fuck does that mean?
Maybe once I die, and, if I'm lucky enough, I'll be let in on the secrets of the unverse, one of which I truly and sincerely hope, is the meaning of...Dubai... It's The Same Thing As Doomaas.
Me: Hey, have you heard?
GF's Sister: Heard what?
Me: That Dubai... is the same thing as Doomaas?!!?
GF's Sister: yeah, I've heard that way more than I would've liked, and, you're just lucky I worked all day or I'd get up and smack you right in your face.
