So I'm still working at this Randstad place, and it's annoying me a little. I think I'm probably not going to go in there tomorrow. But that will probably be fine because they didn't ever tell me I should plan on working tomorrow.
The deal is that last week they told us that our project is almost over, and we were supposed to be done on Friday. If we weren't done, then we might work Tuesday (Mon being Memorial Day). So the absolute latest I expected to work was today. Now they tell us today that we'll be working tomorrow. Well sorry aholes, I already made plans to go to Cleveland when you told me that I wouldn't be working after Tuesday! Also we have the next week off, not by choice, and after that we only get to come back if we're on a certain project. Which they haven't told us if we're on or not. W. T. F.
So I'll be lickin my dick for the next week and a half, waiting to hear if I'm one of the chosen few who get to crush the dreams of the schoolchildren of Delaware. Hopefully they are smarter than these other GD retards from the other states.
I had a lady perform a random act of kindness on me today, by telling me that I didn't have to pay her for a book. She sent it to me and I should therefore send her a credit (paperbackswap.com) but she told me not to worry cause she has over 20 credits right now. I didn't tell her that I have 25 credits... I just said thank you. If someone wants baby Jesus to smile, they're not going to accept your payment no matter how many times you try to force it on them.
My sister is graduating from high school on Sunday. I'm so proud of her for not having any illegitimate, indeterminate racial background, welfare babies yet. Mike said that if Josie graduates from college with a 4.0 he'll buy her a car. I said that's a pretty safe bet, but I would also buy her a car if her grades were that good. Then he said we should buy her a car if she graduates without getting knocked up, and I said, it's not that hard to not get knocked up. He said, we're talking about Josie though. I think it's easier to keep an empty uterus than to get a 4.0, but I'm really not that big of a slut (I swear).
Those are my random thoughts for the day.

I just flew in
And boy are my legs tired. What I'm trying to say is that I'm training to run a 5k this weekend. I mistakenly had a glass of wine at dinner tonight and I don't think that mixed well with the workout. I was supposed to run at least 5 miles tonight and only ran 4. Oh well. I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone who thinks I'm an alcoholic. A 5k is only 3.1 miles (for you stupid Americans who don't know the metric system, cause I know I don't) but I want to overtrain. If I run 5 miles on Thursday then 3.1 miles on Saturday should feel like nothing. Theoretically.
The race is in Oakwood, the town where I grew up, so if I fail miserably, hardly anyone I know will see me.
Speaking of Oakwood, I was reading their little newspaper a few weeks ago and I saw this editorial: The "reality" of GTMO. So I had to respond with this (it's 2/3 of the way down the page). We're all guilty.
It made me think about holding a view very strongly. I think that so and so is true, and I believe it so strongly, that I honestly can't see any way that a rational person can believe that it's NOT true. Yet, that person who believes it's not true sits there and thinks how stupid and blind I must be to believe it. I guess that's the reason we have wars. I understand why people would feel that we can do whatever the fuck we want to anyone in the middle east. They justify it in their minds by buying into the utter lies that come out of our leaders' mouths. Well, our country elected this president, and he thinks it's right, so that means everyone wants it and it's right. I love Budweiser products and Ford trucks, and baseball....jihadist motherfuckers, Saddam, Osama, God favors us over Islam, blah blah blah. If people who believe that holding prisoners without due process is A-OK and that the Geneva Convention is only a suggestion all died, the world would be a better place.
Anyway, I have an adult job now so I have to go to bed.
