goings on
this is mostly a random "im still alive" post. work is still going reasonable well. i had a difficult morning yesterday tho. only had a few places to go, but naturally they were all on opposite ends of town. but hey, i dont complain about driving around town all day. what i do complain about, is what i was delivering. do you have any idea just how heavy several thousand pieces of paper are? a single box (foot and a half long, foot wide and deep) weighed well over 30 lbs (~15 kgs) you tried opening doors and making your way through a warehouse while carrying over 3o lbs? its not fun. then, at the next place i went, i had 5 of those boxes. 50,000 notepads. 50 freaking thousand. fortunately, i have a 2-wheeler to use for that much crap. oh man it wasnt fun.

geez, monday i took a name badge to a car dealership, and the guy i handed it to looked at it and the conversation went thus:
car guy: "this guys dead."
inu: "excuse me?"
car guy: "he had a wreck last week."
inu: "oh...im sorry."
car guy: "well ill take this anyway; his mom might want it:"
inu: "uh...sure." *swift retreat*
man that was awkward.

my mom took my dog to the vet today. one of his eyes is really cloudy, and we had been told it was scar tissue. turns out, its cornea damage due to cell death cause by over-hydration of the tissue. if it isnt fixed with surgery, oreo will go blind in that eye. catch is, the surgery is really expensive. we all want to keep him from going blind, but the cost is an issue. im pretty sure it will go through, but were discussing options now. by the way, if you didnt understand my explanation of the disease, youll just have to wait until you grow up and go to high school to take a biology class so you can understand basic cellular concepts and diagnostic termanology. hey, im a biology major, i can make fun of your lack of comprehension. my dog, who is my beloved little brother, is either going to go blind or go through fairly risky surgery, im allowed to be spiteful.

now that ive mocked your possible lack of ability to understand basic biology, and possibly confused you with higher vocaulary than most of you younger kids know, im going to ask you to go look at the art i posted awhile ago if you havent already.

i commend you if you read all that. have a cookie. (i swear, its not poisoned. not my style, no honor in that.)
