   Wow... Where have I been? Warning: there's stuff about hockey in this post!

Well, it's Sunday night, I'm at home goofing on the big old desktop. I didn't have to work today, either!!!! *does a happy dance*

Let's see if I can recall all the events of the past couple days....

Saturday: DAY OFF!!! It was nice out. I went to SUX with my brother. We got tickets to the hockey game and ran around to Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, PetSmart, Target, Barnes & Noble, the food court in the mall, and Staples before finally heading to the game. The game was awesome.
WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it needs that many exclamation points.

Our team broke a five game losing streak quite nicely last night. The final score was 5 to 2! In the first part of the second period, we scored three goals in 49 seconds! It was great. The truly cool thing is that we were sitting down on one end close to one of the goals, and it turned out that during the second period it was the goal that we had to shoot into to score. So we saw all three of those goals really well. It was really amazing. I was so happy to be able to get to a game. To be honest, the fact that I got to go to the game was the only thing getting me through work Friday night.

*^*^*^*^*
Well, Friday night at work was pretty awful by the time it ended. I mentioned stupidity starting up at the end of my last post. The amount of stupidity running rampant was phenomenal. Stupid people... I was so angry at some of the guests for the stupid things they pulled. It was one of the type of nights where I left as soon as I could just because of how frustrated I was. I even pulled out the CD entitled "X the Unknown" and played track 6. Track 6 is the song "Die MF Die" by Dope. It sums up quite a lot sometimes.

I feel the urge to comment on some comments here. Well, at least address a couple points...

ShadowsCastbyDusk: I'm the only one that has to work with the little psycho because no one wants to work with him. I don't want to work with him! One of my other coworkers is a spoiled brat that can only work with two people and doesn't have to do things she doesn't want to do. She can't work Friday nights... but she sure can spend entire Friday nights in the bar in the building! As for other shifts: I am one of four people that work there that does not smoke. All the ones that work during the day smoke and the place smells horrible. My lungs shut down after a while of breathing second-hand smoke.

Yensid: Motel-hell is my work place. I work the front desk from 3 to 11. The little psycho is the ever-so-slightly brain-damaged bellman. He has told someone on the phone that he's the manager of the place and doesn't check people in. He claims he doesn't want to learn how to check people in. In fact, he will never be trained to check people in. His usual reaction to a complaint is to laugh at the person. He laughs at the drunks checking in, which only encourages them more and makes my tolerance level drop even more.

Mamma Vash: Well, I went to the official Frank Zappa website and found albums entitled "200 Motels" and "Jazz from Hell", but no "Motel Hell". Unless that was a track on one of them. Imagining the little psycho in his underwear is a nauseating prospect. I did briefly toy with the thought of wondering what it would be like to see the world as he does. Then I realized I'd probably want to kill myself within 30 seconds. If you click on the Ed Clock, I believe it should take you to the site where I got it. Can't wait to see the Closet!

blackwings: I'm glad you weren't surprised by the little psycho! I sure wish I could be surprised by him some night when he actually shuts the F**K up instead of babbling constantly! I've come to the conclusion that he's living proof of Douglas Adams's one theory in one of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy books: If humans stop talking, their brains begin to work.

*^*^*^*
I think that does it for now. I'm just about done with my internet wanderings tonight. Oh, yeah... this afternoon, I did manage to finally get my laptop to hook up to the wireless feature of our DSL modem. It only took about an hour and a half on the phone with tech support... a lot of which was being put on hold, getting forgotten on hold, getting transferred to the wrong department and transferred back to tech support, getting put on hold again, getting forgotten on hold again... oh, you get the idea...

Laters!
