Ok, so here I am, sitting up here in Saint Cloud, its 230 in the morning.....the past 48 hours have been quite a rush, but the coming 2 weeks are sure to kick my ass even further.
I work at an understaffed warehouse where I am underpaid, the hours are long, but its ok to BS all day long, so long as you keep working....and the management is cool with "special" situations.
I have money, I am doing this work because I am fat and I need to lose my gut or the army kills me.
I just started working there 2 weeks ago, after I was employed I told them that I had my National Guard Annual Training coming up on 6/7/06....they were upset, but by then I had been working there a couple days and they liked me....but needless to say that they were pissed off, but accepting of my situation.
So YESTERDAY I find out that my other 2 roommates have finalized a "great" deal on an apartment swap (from a 2 bedroom to a 3).
This is awesome because it happens when I am gone at training.
So today I had to move all of my earthly possessions from my neat orderly (but still packed) room and into a yet-to-be-gotten garage.
I dont have alot of clutter, my parents were (are) cronic pack rats, they have more junk then they will ever be able to sort through, so I try not to follow in their footsteps....Even though I am able to keep all of my earthly possessions in one 10x14 room I still think I have a little too much.
So I had to beg for part of today off so I could get everything packed up.
I dont know how many of you had to move with no notice, but I really didnt like it.
So I go to walmart and get 8 plastic tubs....turned out to be the right number, I got all my toys, airplanes, books, balls, pictures(in frames), computer parts/cords, pens, office supplies, and computer equipment packed neatly in these tubs.....yeah I have alot of goofy shit, but this is the stuff I collected throughout my life, and since everyone who has seen my room and all my "cool" stuff actually agrees with me and thinks it is cool, I wont get rid of it.
The only things I didnt pack up are all my army things, all my uniforms and equment.......most of this crap I have to take up with me in 5 hours to Ripley for 2 weeks of torture....I still have to organize and pack it up, I am procrastinating.....
So I got a good deal today.....NIB HKS 272 cams and Skunk2 Adjustable cam gears all for $240....its all for a 2G, but I think it will fit on a 1G.
I am busy 24/7, I dont have any free time, it sucks.....I feel like I cant get anything done because I am always busy....thank god the galant has heald up alright....
OH YEAH, before I forget, at about midnight tonight I get a call from one of my buddies, something about mud and a tow strap...soo I go out to meet him.
I drive a mile outside of the city on what used to be a somewhat flat surface.....the dirt has HUGE ruts in it, bump, lump, bump, grind.....I really regret getting ground controls and AGX's------ my car isnt road worthy, let alone off road worthy....I approach my friends who have an AllTrac Previa (300k+miles) they are helping some mexicans who have managed to bottom out the car in the mud....they are driving an old mercury sable.....so I come to a stop, they walk up to me and say "you came too close, now you are stuck" and I say "bullshit, I have AWD suckers!!!!!"
man did I put my foot in my mouth there.....the combination of the Fuzion ZRi's and the ground controls has proven to be fatal when combined with mud, as I try to get my car moving back and forward all I am doing is making my car sink further and further.....AWD or NoWD my car isnt going anywhere....my car is a lowrider, it is completely bottomed out.....so the blue goat (Previa) has to pull out 2 cars now.....well at least I brought a tow strap in the galant so we manage to get my car out, and then the mexican's car, ug, how embarassing.
So I drive home....and now since its a return trip I know what to expect, so I rally it...FUNFUNFUNFUNFUN...and BAM pothole!!!! I drive back to the apartment, nothing seems out of order....my front tire seems a bit low, maybe it picked up a nail.....good thing I got a GVR4 spare tire (rare) so if indeed I have a leak it will be flat in the morning and I will have to swap on a spare...
So I am still not packed/ready for my military obligations.....I have to be there at 0800, its 0300 now and I have alot of packing to go, then I have to decide weather to risk sleeping here or drive to the cities and sleep there.....I think its safer to pack, sleep for 3 hours, and then drive into the cities...
Oh well, I am tired....I need a vacation.....from cars, work, the girlfriend....oh my girlfriend, dont get me started with her, my roommates hate her and whenever she is over they do what they can to make her feel unwelcome, so I have to deal with all that crap too...my roommates are alright, but sometimes they downright piss me off.
I am ripe for time off right now......but oh wait....I have 2 weeks of solid hell coming up in a couple hours.....great....
For those of you who actually read this whole freaken thing, thanks for reading it...I apologize for the many mistakes and grammer errors....I am too tired to do anything right at the moment...thats why I am writing it.....so someone can appreciate what I am going throught right now
