Dear (name withheld) of AARGON Collection agency. Who the fuck do you think you are?! Do you think you can call me any time, interrupt my work, badger the FUCK out of me and expect me to be civil? Hey, you know what? Why don't you try raising a child on your own. Try paying every one of her medical bills out of pocket because you don't have health insuran
Well after sweating profusely, feeling paranoid, and wondering if I'll have a job come next week; I finally got an answer to my contract issues. I had to contact my contracting agent to get him to spill the beans, but it was good news so I forgive him. My contract has been renewed for another 6 months! w00T!!!1!!eleventy!1! And they decided to give me my extra
Well, here we go. I've said it many times, and started many times, but this has to be the final. Today, at 3:36 PM MST, I give up smoking. I've been smoking for far too long, and I'm really more intelligent than this. My daughter doesn't need to be put through it, either. So here we go. Day 1, hour 1. And it's here for the world to see. If I screw up a
I'm driving down the freeway one snowy Sunday morning, headed to church. There is close to one inch of new snow. It's almost like the three inches were rejuvinated the night before; no footsteps or other imperfections to speak of. Thankfully, the roads are pretty clear. Surprisingly for the weather conditions, traffic is moving very steadily, I'm able to maintain
I too understand you. But don't feel like you're a 'fraud', feel confident. Confident that you are able to take things in stride, and can continuously project the air of calm and peacefulness; the air of confidence. Your problems, however, are only as large as you'd like to make them out to be. To some, an issue as simple as a lack of popcorn can set them off the edge. Others can deal with, say, a neurotic ex-spouse who just won't let them move
Thanks for the insight everyone! I feel a bit better. Honestly, I hope I don't get her too caught up in electronics. From my experience it's a great field for work, but not something one needs to be addicted to especially at home. I just hope I can continue to raise her to be a strong, confident, intelligent person.
My daughter is 20 months old, and where I think I'm doing a good job raising her, I can't help but ask myself daily; "Is she developing well? Is she on par with (or better than) other kids her age? What can I do to ensure that she continues to develop quickly and correctly?" These questions, whereas I'm sure are asked by about every parent on the planet, ar
Just another example of extremists getting their way. Since when did Comedy Central have to bow to these people? Since when did Comedy Central care? Every single show they produce is racy or racist or 'damaging' to one particular group/person or another. That's the joy of CS, it gives people a chance to poke fun at things they normally wouldn't have the heart/guts to in the real world. Same reason they have disclaimers at the beginning of almost e
I recently took a test drive of a Cobalt SS Supercharged. Fully loaded with Pioneer sound system, Recaro seats and a Sunroof, the car is very nice. Interior: Aside from the fact that it is obviously plastic, it is designed very well. The gauge cluster is easy to read, and the A-pillar boost gauge (goes up to 20 PSI) is a nice addition instead of crowding the
Egh. I had so much to write about earlier. SO MUCH! But with the 'scheduled downtime' that we experienced here, I was unable to do so. Anywho, update time. Mood: In great pain Music: Ready, Steady, GO! (FMA OST, 2nd opening theme) One of my coworkers had a dead car this morning. His secondary rad fan busted through and tore up his
My math may be off, I'm just going by the specs available. GM is stating that the car will be about 4 seconds 0-60. Either way, 5.5 is a big improvement over the 7.6 recorded in my Impala so far. About GM's tuning: I think they tune their engines quite well, their biggest problem is building a transmission that will correctly plant the power to the ground! As far as the Mustang goes - I almost bought one, but with my Ford track record bein
Alrighty guys. The story so far is that there will be a Camaro come 2010 model year, but we will not see a Firebird. Pontiac's nameplate for this Zeta-chassied, rear wheel driven, V8 monsterbeast will (80% likely) be named the GTO. Go figure. You'd think that with the serious lack of sales this last Goat had, and the fact that people quickly dismissed it as a "Gra
Yes I know this blog has no real direction. Give me time, I'm trying to find what direction it should take! TORONTO (Reuters) - Workers at General Motors (GM.N) of Canada Ltd. assembly plants in Oshawa, Ontario, will likely vote in favor of job cuts on Friday in hopes of securing new investment, including the contract to build GM's new Chevrolet Camaro, un
Hey all. Just thought you'd like an update in my life's happenings. I've been here at Ball for 6 months now, and my contract is up for renewal. It has been approved, but I found out my contracting agency had an "accounting error" and had been overpaying me 3.50/hour for the past 6 months. So now while this is in negotiation, I take a 3.50/hour pay cut, and
Mood: Utterly depressed Music: "Daphne Descends" by The Smashing Pumpkins Geez. Things just keep piling up, one after another. My 'ex'-wife has told me that I will be keeping our daughter indefinitely. Which really, I don't mind, as I love raising her and molding her to be the best person she could be. But it is one more thing on my pla
Mood: Slightly Melancholy Music: "Bad Place to Earn a Living" by Lodger Well I've had this account for a while, guess I should start doing something with it. This shall be my outlet to the unknowing masses, and a way for those who can't (or refuse to) contact me to catch a glimpse of my life. So let's bring everyone up to speed with my ubercondensed l
Link Just thought you guys would be interested in knowing there is a very informative Impala Forum out there. This site is dedicated to the 2000-2006 Chevy Impala. Stop by and say HI! or if you have a question about your Impala feel free to ask away. There are engineers, mechanics, "SHOW-ERS" and "GO-ERS" that are more t
