Just Random Ramblings

I'm still waiting for my day off. They claim that we'll be off next Sunday. I certainly am not holding my breath over it. I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Do you have people who seem to only contact you when they need something or have a question for you? I am to the point that I am so fucking tired of that I don't know what to do. I mean if you can't bother to talk to me just to say hey every now and then why the fuck do I need to bother answering your damn questions? I think that's what I am going to start doing - ignoring these people (no matter who the hell they are) who never bother to talk unless they want something.

OK i am off my soapbox now..

Here are the lyrics for the song for the song that is currently playing. 3 Days Grace - "Just Like You"

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You’re wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you

I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

On my own, cause I can’t take liven with you
I’m alone, so I won’t turn out like you
Want me to

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

Yep that's right! SKF is finally gonna give me a day off. Only after working for like 20 days straight! Damn I don't know if I can take this much longer! I don't know what I'll do with my day off. I have a feeling I'll sit around and just try to relax. I have not had enough time to do that lately. I really need to do some stuff around the house, but I doubt it'll get done! We'll see what happens. And you know no days off are complete without visiting the Outback. I am sure I'll go there too!

Well I am kind of tired tonight so I think I'll head on to bed.

Jason and I made an adventure trip to Riverbanks Zoo and the South Carolina State Museum today. It was rather enjoyable. It has been more years that I care to mention since I went to either of them. I will say it would have been better if some people would learn how to control their kids. It was just annoying with them jumping in front of me when I was trying to take picttures and such. It just made me want to slap a few of them! I could never deal with them from day to day. The gardens were pretty neat too. Those weren't there the last time I visted.

The museum wasn't bad either. But I will say by the time we had walked through it were were pretty tired on our feet. I think about the most amusing thing we saw was the "vibrator" that plugged into a light socket. Folks, I am not lying here! That is what the little description said on the tag, not back massager or anything, but VIBRATOR! I didn't think to take a picture of it. But I will next time I go there. OF course there is no telling when that will be. I know Regina wanted to go sometime, so we might go in a few weeks or something.

But all in all it was a good day. It was definately good to get out of here for a while. I would like to do it more often.

This song came on LauchCast and I liked it. Let me know what you think.

Yeah I am going to post in my much neglected blog. It was pointed out to me just yesterday that I have not posted in a while. I just have not been up to it for some unknown reason. I managed to hurt my back the first part of last week, so I have not worked since. The doctor seems to think I might have a pulled muscle, but I am not so sure. Of course me falling at the end of last week wasn't the most helpful thing for it either. I know I will be out this week - that is if I still have a job. I have not heard from them, and I don't really know how to get in touch with them. It's kind of weird that someone hasn't called me either. I would have thought that they would have. I guess they really don't care about their employees very much.

I really should find a new job. I have been really looking lately. I am just tired of doing production type work. I really need to get something that is more "me". I would love to get a job in the computer industry, but that isn't going very well. I don't have any sort of schooling in the field, so no one wants to really give me a chance. I think it's just pitiful. In all tho, I would really just like to start my own business. I have been wanting to do that for a few years now. I think if I would just get off my ass and really promote myself, I could do it. Maybe that is just what I should do. I know there has to be lots of people out there who need some sort of computer work done and are willing to pay.

I managed to get Daddy to go with me to the Verizon store today so I could get a new phone. They have this new every two program where they give you $100 credit toward buying a new phone every two years. It's not a bad deal. You just have to sign another two year agreement with them. I can't complain too much. Their service hasn't been too bad to me. I got an LG VX4500 for those who are interested! I like it OK so far. I spent several hours this evening getting to know the features on it. I can designate a different ringer for each person in my phone book. (No, I don't have that many people in there, but it does have about 25 different ringers) I need to go around a bit with it and see how the signal goes with it. It will be interesting to see how it acts at Jason's house. My other phone would barely pick up there. And the new phone is all digital. I hope I didn't go wrong getting that. But I did look at the map and every place I go seems to have digital coverage. So I will cross my fingers!

Jason got a call from the SCCB guy saying that he would put in a word for a job that Jason applied for. I hope that helps. As he really wants to get a job so he can move out. Everyone needs to go wish him luck! Of course I just keep telling him to find a job so he can support me! I am tired of my job and want to go to work part time so I can go back to school. I really need to go back to school.

OK I need to get on my soapbox here for a few minutes. As some of you know, I had my screen name wyldrob with AOL for years. Well I finally decided to cancel that account last year. I mean why continue to support dumb asses like them, right? Anyway, it used to be that if you canceled your account, you could still use the name on AIM. Well that isn't the case anymore. Well I have wrote them a few times asking about the name and why I can't use it. I seem to get the same thing all the time, I can't use that name anymore. But what I am saying is that it has been over a year since I got rid of that account and it is still unavailable! I mean , what the fuck kind of bullshit is that? They are just so damn stupid.

This is the email I got :

Hello! I am Lewis from America Online (AOL). I appreciate the time you've spent writing to us and that you have given me the chance to help you with any concerns or issues you have.

I understand from your recent e-mail that you have canceled your AOL account, but would like to retain the Screen Name for use with AIM.

Keeping your AOL account maintains your current Screen Name. Your friends and family recognize you by that Screen Name. But, if you cancel your AOL membership, you will not be able to use any Screen Name on your AOL account with AIM. So keeping your Screen Name means you are still part of the largest and best online community. Which is great for you because you can stay in contact with all of your family and friends and always find someone who shares your interests.

I would suggest that you may try or create another screen name that are available on the service.

OK well Lewis, obviously you didn't read my email, because I clearly stated that it has been a year and I want to know why the name is still unavailable. You failed to mention that didn't you? You stupid ignorant asshole. You need to be put in front of a firing squad for being such a dumb ass and not being able to read! Another thing you ignorant cunt, I have another name to use on AIM. I had to create that last year and then go around changing everything when I could no longer use wyldrob! Geez, some people.

OK, I am off my soapbox. This might be an ongoing thing, I'll wait til I get the next email from them. Might be fun. I am going to keep bugging them until someone can give me some answers!

On a brighter note, I am going to the Outback later with Jason and Ricky. That should be lots of fun. It's going to suck in a way because I can't drink right now. Well, at least I am not supposed to drink. I might just break down and have one little drink. Who knows. But it should still be OK.
