So, I called about a job before. I was lead to believe that I actually had a chance to get this one. The truth is, I had NO chance.
I call, very nice, common theme out here, I ask about the job opening, and I'm told...
1. You need a guard card. (Don't have one of those, and, They don't train)
2. You need a hand gun and fire arms permit (don't have one of those either)
3. You need 1 years experience working in security (yet again, no)
So YAY, my day started out WONDERFUL... I than go downstairs to get some water and see if anything needs to be cleaned from when I was down there a few hours ago, and, whats this? It's raining.... so this means, my one "fun" thing I do during the day, take Holly TheDawg for a walk, I can't even do THAT today. I think someone should punch Albert Hammond in his uneducated face.. it never rains in southern california my ass.
I've decided, stupidly I might add, to head out and get some lunch. Mainly cause I feel bad Holly won't be able to get out of the house for a little while, but, I have gotten really heavy since I've been here. My belt when I came OUT here was like, I had like 12-14 inches of EXTRA Belt... now i barely have 4 inches of extra belt.
So thats NO lie.
But, I feel bad I can't take Holly out for a walk, so, a car ride will do just as well I'd suspect.
Holly is a very happy dog it seems. Yesterday, Holly, has 2 beds, 1 in my gfs room, and we had oe on the landing outside out room, but the other dog in the house shit and piss all over it, so, its just the foam inside now, we had it standing up in my gfs closet, and when I say closet I mean a FULL room of clothes, NOT a "Closet", so I laid it down and covered it with towels so now instead of just laying on the floor when Holly isn't in our room, Holly has a big fat soft "bed" again. Gotta see if there is a softer type blanket downstairs for Holly, and pop that on there.
Holly has been such a good dog since I've been here, it makes me smile to know that shes happy.
Ok, well, I'm off to get lunch.

Crazy Assholes Making Lots Of Noise
So I barely got any sleep last night as I had to keep adjusting myself from almost getting rolled off the bed, than when I FINALLY get comfortable? The Yippie dog across the street doesn't shut the fuck up.
When the yippie dog across the street FINALLY shuts the fuck up, low and behold, here comes CRAZY ASSHOLES making lots of noise by doing tree branch trimming RIGHT next to my fucking window... LITERALLY... It was so fucking loud, Holly TheDawg, refused to come into not only my gf's room, BUT refused to go into the room next to ours my gf uses as a closet, AND, refused to stay upstairs all together.
I finally just got up and sulked. It's now about 130pm PST and I got MAYBE 30-45 minutes of ACTUAL sleep last night. Yay me.
The pole saw next to my window reminded me of Matt my ex co-worker calling our boss (in a loving manner) a "Crazy Asshole" cause when we used to trim trees or cut trees down, our boss would go CRAZY!!! I always explained to Matt, dude, its human nature that when you have a Chainsaw or destructive cutting impliment in your hand, you don't WANT to stop using it!
It used to be lots of fun working with Matt, whenever our boss would be cutting shit, I'd just be mouthing to matt and pointing to our boss shaking my head saying..."Crazy Asshole!!!"
Matt would laugh, we'd pack trees into buckets of machines to get thrown out.
I miss my old job. There really wasn't a better job that I could've asked for. Its really a shame I had to quit a job I loved so much.

Mad Fucking Deuces On Your Ugly Face
Again, today, not much going on. Woke up at 1pm. Started watching the Bud Shootout. I'm not really too into sports, but I love watching NASCAR, and, watching NASCAR VIA DVR is perfect since not only can you skip commercials, you can fast forward thru caution periods. I prolly wouldn't do this if NASCAR was like it was 15-20 years ago, but, NASCAR throws so many "DEBRIT" cautions, so people can catch up, usually its when fan favorties ar running far back or about to go a lap down, for example, everytime Dale Jr is about to go a lap down, or he gets to running in the Top 5, NASCAR throws a caution for him... So, if NASCAR didn't throw PHANTOM Debrit cautions, I'd prolly listen to the commentary, but, NASCAR throws SHIT LOAD of them.
But yeah, thats how my Valentine's Day eve is going. Slept till 1pm, got up, my GF was still sleeping, headed downstairs with Holly in tow to watch some NASCAR, came up for some redvines a while ago, my GF is now reading.
Prolly hit up the fridge for some leftovers after I'm done in here. Need some snacks for tthe race.
It's gonna be a long season tho, I'm used to watching the races with my dad. In this busy responibility filled world, watching the race with my dad was really the only time I got to spend with him during the week. We would do the lawn on saturday's but thats not downtime/talk time.
The 1st segment of the race is almost over and, it really DOES feel like something is missing.
I miss my mom and dad being out here. It's amazing how spending a few hours a week with them doing something like watching the race was THAT much more awesome than I knew it was.
Anyways, snacks and race!!! At least maybe Holly TheDawg will come watch it with me!!!

Quick Update
No job hunting today. A friend of mine redid my resume, so, I'm gonna start using that one starting tomorrow. Plus, I got up real late, and, getting up real late is gonna be a bitch for getting up early tomorrow. I really wish someone would contact me for a job out here already. It's getting kinda ridiculous. It will be 3 months I'm out here saturday, and, I haven't been offered ONE JOB. With all the applications I have sent out you would think I'd get SOMETHING by now.... I guess that 12:1 people applying to job ratio is way more killer than it even looks.
I guess if I look on the bright side... at least I haven't needed to ask to borrow money from anyone yet... Still have my emergency money, AND, at least I can maybe borrow against what I'll get back from my taxes which should get me thru another month.
This would be so much better if I actually was ENJOYING the fact I'm not working... But I'm not the type that does. It's UBER fucking depressing. Even days like today, and prolly tomorrow, I'll take off from looking, it's depressing as fuck to not have a job.
Anyways, off to walk Holly. At least I'm being productive THAT way....
Holly is cool, she has her own facebook BTW. Holly TheDawg. LOL she doesn;t like having her picture taken, so, yeah, there should be more pictures of her, but they would be of her ass walking away when I was trying to get a good picture.

Gf's Bathroom-Thursday, 2/3/11 1:17pm PST
*NOTE* WOW.... this site doesn't allow me to copy and paste from my email to HERE.... so I have to retype what I sent to my email while I was on the toilet before...
anyways.... heres what I wrote while on there before...
Having a quick sit down before taking holly for a walk. Didnt want to bring the lt in to convalute and hold up The process. Heres a thought tho, maybe i should close the bathroom window. Not that its cold per say, but with the rest of the house Warmer it feels like really cold on my ass cheeks when i sit down. Man a million dollar invention? Heated toilet seats. I should look into that.
I than proceeded to send THIS message to a bunch of my contacts on my phone...
Million $ invention. Heated toilet seats. that way u can hav the window open 2 let the stank out but the next person doesnt get a cold ass. Who wants to invest?
Here are the responses I got....verbatim
"sorry to tell u but there's heated toilet seats already."~Gf's Sister
"what about in the summer aircodition"~friend and ex co worker
"wow. thats pretty good"~friend, drummer/co singer/co song writer in my 1st band
"lmao... japanese beat u to it... heats/sprays water/ has air that dries... going to lunch now baby~gf
"Right after i buy that bridge you offered last week"~family
"dude, they already have them in Japan!"~friend from the UK
"I believe its been done :-P"~friend and ex co worker
"Remind me of a joke. Wut do pussy n a warm toilet seat hav in common? They both feel great but u cant help but wonder who was there before u."~friend
"Too late my man! Japanese company already makes them!"~friend and ex co worker
"We need one for the back shop right away! You're alive!!!"~friend and ex co worker
"Sorry man those already exist lol... back to the drawering bored"~friend
"Lmao"~friend
So the moral of the story? Either, I should be happy cause I'm as smart as some japanese dude, or, I should be sad that I'm a repetitive lessoff with no original ideas of my own.... HM....

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.

I Am SO Gonna Drop This Laptop Someday...
Which, wouldn't be a good thing since, after my car payment today, and, after I deposit some christmas money I have been putting off with the assumption I'd spend it if I had it available, which, where the fuck would I spend it, I don't actually GO out anywhere, and proceed to pay my phone bill and a minimum payment on my credit card in 2 weeks or so... I'll be at that point where I need to decide weather I should head back to NY, or keep my fingers crossed that in the next 4 week, which is about what I have saved... enough to get HOME or enough for a months or so bills... I'll locate a job.
I really don't want to borrow money from ANYONE, I feel like somewhat of a failure at the moment anyways, but if I get to the point I'm asking people for money, well, I'm really gonna sit down and start questioning where my life is going.
And like I have mentioned previous, applying for some sort of government assistance is unacceptable to me. While I am applying for jobs EVERYDAY, I am in no way not able to work. I don't feel like with me being able to work, yet, not being able to find a job, that being a valid reason to beg the government for a handout. I'm not one of those people who at this point wouldn't work for federal minimum wage, while I WOULD be embarassed about my station in life cause of it, I'd be proud I was working for what I was getting.
but yeah, the laptop thing, when I get up at times like these, say 1150pm PST to come use the facilities, and my gfs dog Holly is in our room, I kinda have to jungle gym over my sleeping girlfriend to get off the bed on her side, as oppposed to walking around the foot of the bed, because Holly's bed is kinda at the foot of my gfs side. Holly is a good dog, so, I totally respect her, Holly is the best example of a real life dog I've ever come across thats like Courage The Cowardly Dog, that old cartoon. Holly is scared and startled by everything. It took a long while before she warmed up to me, the first time I came to visit my gf while we were not living together, Holly wouldn't come near me, no matter how slow I approached, or, how slowley I came up to her. The second time she started to trust me more, nowadays, she lets me pet her while shes starting to sleep, she follows me around, its a nice feeling. Almost like I can win over anyone with who I am.
Anyways, so, after I jungle gym over my sleeping gf, I grab the laptop from my side of her bed, and, walk into the hallway which is pretty dark, open the bathroom door, and thats where I can just FEEL like I'm gonna drop this thing. CRASH onto the bathroom floor, broken screen. Not good.
But so far, so good I guess LOL.
I'm also kinda worried that it's gonna fall off my lap while I'm typing. Being....chubby... my stomach kinda keeps the laptop very close to the end of my thights, in fact the right side, kinda sits off my right knee a little, the laptop is kind of angled a bit from about an inch inside my left knee. I do this because the fucking mousepad area, or whatever you call that shit on a laptop, I've hit it before while typing stuff, and it fucks up my whole post, I tend to be right hand superior when i type, so this is about the only way to have it sitting on my lap so I don't constantly hit that stupid mousepad area. At least theres some clothes against the wall in front of me that MIGHT cushion the blow if it DID fall off my lap while doing an entry.
Oh, the other day I thought of an interested problem with doing this. I've decided to try and blog everytime I'm sitting in here emptying out, but what happens if I am OUT and I need to drop off the Cleveland Browns at the Super Bowl?!?!?!
What I've decided to do in THIS situation is, send an email to myself from my cellphone from wherever I am going at that moment. Than when I get home, copy the email and enter it as a post HERE, with the Title of the post being the place, date and time... for example... if I happen to be out at the Griffith Park Observatory sightseeing, and, I need to hatch a dirt snake, while I'm in there, I'll do an entry on my cell phone, send it to my email address, and when I get home, it would be like...
Griffith Park Observatory. 1/27/11. 135pm PST
Seems like a fair way to handle that situation wouldn't you think? Plus than, maybe, just MAYBE you will be able to feel like you have visited the same shitters I have, be it famous, IE Griffith Park Observatory, or not, IE the Ralph's Food Store up the street.
Had a nice dinner tonight, went out earlier and bought stuff to make what was prolly one of the most unhealthy lunches ever, Chedder cheese mashed potatoes, sausage, and bacon. yum. at least I bought DIET Dr. K instead of Regular LOL....
Funny side note, a guy I used to be really great friends with, James, we had this thing, because we loved Dr. Pepper so much, everyplace we went, if they had a generic Dr. Pepper, IE Dr. K is Ralph's/Krogers Generic or like i BELIEVE Dr. Thunder is Target or Wal-Marts, we'd buy a 12 pack and make sure we both got to drink a can to see how it held up against Dr. Pepper AND previous Dr. Generics we had tasted. Always a fun little game, cause if one of us went some place out of state that had stores NOT in our area, Dr. K would be a great example, or, I used to visit Erie, PA alot to hang out with my best friend, they had Wegmans, and I would buy a 12 of THEIRS to bring home since Long Island didn't have wegmans, we wound up over the years getting to taste a bunch of different generics.
But, yeah, back to lunch, not very healthy, but oh so freaking good LOL.
My gf when she was hanging out after she got up, shes been sick if you remember for the past week or so, she asked what I was making for dinner.... I felt like tacos, so, went and got stuff for tacos, and, they actually turned out pretty well... what was fun about dinner was, I was all obsessed with trying to make Chocolate Crossants. See, my gf and her sister yesterday made me watch some really horrible movie with Steve Martin, Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin. Something about geriatrics falling in love, I'm So Obsessed? some shit like that, but, at one point, Meryl Streep takes Steve Martin back to what I'll assume was her bakery or resteraunt, IDK, I was busy playing CityVille on facebook while this was on, and, he wanted Chocolate Crossants, so, they made chocolate crossants. Since I like to try new cooking things, I decided, well, I better make sure SOMETHING useful came out of me being subjected to that tripe, so I made chocolate Crossants for dessert.
pretty easy actually, bought one of the Ralph's store brand crossant tubes, a bar of Hershey's milk chocolate symphony and brought those shits home. In addition to those 2, I melted some butter to slather on the crossant pre rolling, put some cinnamon sugar onto it after THAT, than, and the ONE thing I'd change, i put a block of the Hersheys chocolate on the crossant before rolling it. in hindsight, I should've shaved the chocolate onto the whole flat crossant pre rolling, next time i will.... than on 4, added some carmel my gf had in the closet thats an addition to coffee.
very cool, quick little treat. came out very good.
So yeah, I guess it's time to get back to bed, not that I'm actually gonna get to sleep yet, took my 3 sleep aids previous to coming in here, but I'm not feeling it yet, so, I'll go back to watching Bubblegum Crisis 2040 and have my mp3 player ready and waiting for when I do start to feel it.
It was a good day. Well, maybe it WASN'T for all I know, but today, I don't know, I guess just felt a little better, and, I guess thats something right?
I really don't want to borrow money from ANYONE, I feel like somewhat of a failure at the moment anyways, but if I get to the point I'm asking people for money, well, I'm really gonna sit down and start questioning where my life is going.
And like I have mentioned previous, applying for some sort of government assistance is unacceptable to me. While I am applying for jobs EVERYDAY, I am in no way not able to work. I don't feel like with me being able to work, yet, not being able to find a job, that being a valid reason to beg the government for a handout. I'm not one of those people who at this point wouldn't work for federal minimum wage, while I WOULD be embarassed about my station in life cause of it, I'd be proud I was working for what I was getting.
but yeah, the laptop thing, when I get up at times like these, say 1150pm PST to come use the facilities, and my gfs dog Holly is in our room, I kinda have to jungle gym over my sleeping girlfriend to get off the bed on her side, as oppposed to walking around the foot of the bed, because Holly's bed is kinda at the foot of my gfs side. Holly is a good dog, so, I totally respect her, Holly is the best example of a real life dog I've ever come across thats like Courage The Cowardly Dog, that old cartoon. Holly is scared and startled by everything. It took a long while before she warmed up to me, the first time I came to visit my gf while we were not living together, Holly wouldn't come near me, no matter how slow I approached, or, how slowley I came up to her. The second time she started to trust me more, nowadays, she lets me pet her while shes starting to sleep, she follows me around, its a nice feeling. Almost like I can win over anyone with who I am.
Anyways, so, after I jungle gym over my sleeping gf, I grab the laptop from my side of her bed, and, walk into the hallway which is pretty dark, open the bathroom door, and thats where I can just FEEL like I'm gonna drop this thing. CRASH onto the bathroom floor, broken screen. Not good.
But so far, so good I guess LOL.
I'm also kinda worried that it's gonna fall off my lap while I'm typing. Being....chubby... my stomach kinda keeps the laptop very close to the end of my thights, in fact the right side, kinda sits off my right knee a little, the laptop is kind of angled a bit from about an inch inside my left knee. I do this because the fucking mousepad area, or whatever you call that shit on a laptop, I've hit it before while typing stuff, and it fucks up my whole post, I tend to be right hand superior when i type, so this is about the only way to have it sitting on my lap so I don't constantly hit that stupid mousepad area. At least theres some clothes against the wall in front of me that MIGHT cushion the blow if it DID fall off my lap while doing an entry.
Oh, the other day I thought of an interested problem with doing this. I've decided to try and blog everytime I'm sitting in here emptying out, but what happens if I am OUT and I need to drop off the Cleveland Browns at the Super Bowl?!?!?!
What I've decided to do in THIS situation is, send an email to myself from my cellphone from wherever I am going at that moment. Than when I get home, copy the email and enter it as a post HERE, with the Title of the post being the place, date and time... for example... if I happen to be out at the Griffith Park Observatory sightseeing, and, I need to hatch a dirt snake, while I'm in there, I'll do an entry on my cell phone, send it to my email address, and when I get home, it would be like...
Griffith Park Observatory. 1/27/11. 135pm PST
Seems like a fair way to handle that situation wouldn't you think? Plus than, maybe, just MAYBE you will be able to feel like you have visited the same shitters I have, be it famous, IE Griffith Park Observatory, or not, IE the Ralph's Food Store up the street.
Had a nice dinner tonight, went out earlier and bought stuff to make what was prolly one of the most unhealthy lunches ever, Chedder cheese mashed potatoes, sausage, and bacon. yum. at least I bought DIET Dr. K instead of Regular LOL....
Funny side note, a guy I used to be really great friends with, James, we had this thing, because we loved Dr. Pepper so much, everyplace we went, if they had a generic Dr. Pepper, IE Dr. K is Ralph's/Krogers Generic or like i BELIEVE Dr. Thunder is Target or Wal-Marts, we'd buy a 12 pack and make sure we both got to drink a can to see how it held up against Dr. Pepper AND previous Dr. Generics we had tasted. Always a fun little game, cause if one of us went some place out of state that had stores NOT in our area, Dr. K would be a great example, or, I used to visit Erie, PA alot to hang out with my best friend, they had Wegmans, and I would buy a 12 of THEIRS to bring home since Long Island didn't have wegmans, we wound up over the years getting to taste a bunch of different generics.
But, yeah, back to lunch, not very healthy, but oh so freaking good LOL.
My gf when she was hanging out after she got up, shes been sick if you remember for the past week or so, she asked what I was making for dinner.... I felt like tacos, so, went and got stuff for tacos, and, they actually turned out pretty well... what was fun about dinner was, I was all obsessed with trying to make Chocolate Crossants. See, my gf and her sister yesterday made me watch some really horrible movie with Steve Martin, Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin. Something about geriatrics falling in love, I'm So Obsessed? some shit like that, but, at one point, Meryl Streep takes Steve Martin back to what I'll assume was her bakery or resteraunt, IDK, I was busy playing CityVille on facebook while this was on, and, he wanted Chocolate Crossants, so, they made chocolate crossants. Since I like to try new cooking things, I decided, well, I better make sure SOMETHING useful came out of me being subjected to that tripe, so I made chocolate Crossants for dessert.

Still Here....
So I finished the previous doody or dooDEES post, and, I assumed I'd be off my Porcelain Throne by now. Not happening, which, isn't very pleasant since I took 4 Sleep Aid pills before so I could pop on my mp3 player, and pass out while listening to my meditation mix. Was looking forward to listening to the score for the movie Sunshine and relaxing.
As an adendum to the last entry, "Is It Doody Or DooDEES"?, I'm now wondering what does diarreah fall under?
ANYWAYS, I was just not thinking about one of the best differences between living in Southern California's Inland Empire and New York's Long Island... the people in the retail store out here seem to have WAY better attitudes when helping you.
Before I Cooked diner earlier, I had to run down the street to Ralph's. It's a food store out here I didn't have the pleasure to shop at in NY. I choose to shop there cause, well, LOL, if anyone has seen "The Big Lebowski", it gets not only a mention, but the opening "dude" scene takes place there, everytime I go in, i get a nice chuckle cause I think about "The Big Lebowski", anyways, I ran down to the Ralph's to pick up what I was asked to cook for dinner. Mac and Cheese and some hotdogs... Also got some Smoked Sausage and a Smoked Kielbasa. I miss homemade kielbasa, theres an amazing place on Long Island to get it called Rapacki's. One of the things I'll go and purchase and fly back home with the next time I go home for a visit.
OH and EVERYTHING I bought was on sale. I'm running out of money, so whatever I can do to conserve, the sausages were a "treat" for me, but, the Mac and Cheese was 50 cents a box!!! What a FAT DEAL!!!!
But, the Ralph's I go into, EVERYONE that works there has such a wonderful attitude. In NY, when you go into a retail store, everyone has such a horrible attitude. These people out here seem genuienly happy to take a few minutes out of their day to answer a question, or to have a nice word when ringing me up. one of the ladies even told me I had fastly become one of her favorite customers since I always have a smile on my face. I told her that its REAL easy to have that smile when the customer service at the store is so amazing.
It makes the harder things a little easier, and, makes things like running to the store a pleasure when you KNOW your going to get wonderful service with a smile. I know my gfs dog Holly appreciate this too, as, one of Hollys favorite things is going for a car ride. Holly is a very meticulous dog. She takes her time with everything she does. The only 2 times she really gets excited is when were going for a walk or a car ride. Its so funny, I've been out here about 2 months, I decided when I'm going on shorter car rides, I'll bring Holly. By the third time I jingled my keys where she could see, she learned that meant a Car ride... I'll open the door, she runs out, and by the time I turn around to lock the door, shes already sitting at the back bumper of my car. She also learned about when I'm going up the street to get the mail too.
But yeah, Holly LOVES car rides.
So let me go, I seem to be having issues in here, I hope I'm not catching the stomach bug part of what my gf and her sister have.
