Wow... You have no idea. The candidates don't do the trashtalking that much, its the people supporting them that do all the trashtalking. This last election was a joke and I am terrified about this next one coming up. There was lots I didn't like about the US's last one. Namely all the SNL skits (plus Obama making an appearance on SNL) all the shit with Oprah, Sarah Palin coming into the scene. It seemed way too over the top and dramatic. Anyways, the guy I voted for, Stephen Harper, is the one who took the majority votes and is PM again. One day I will run and will rule Canada! Oh and nice sunglasses, Steph. ;D

I thought I was smiling when they took that pic, I guess I wasn't smiling hard enough.

Can't believe I forgot to mention this. But I got the job! I start this coming Wednesday. My shifts will be starting at 7 am which is going to take a lot of getting used to. My current shifts start at 10:30 and I wake up at 8. So this new job will be starting while I am normally still asleep. But it will be worth it. Its going to be paying 4 dollars more per hour than I get in the kitchen plus 2 more hours a day. And the benefits are amazing. Other than your standard dental and medical they also pay for about half of my monthly bus pass and after three months of working there they give you a gift certificate to some place to get a discount on steel toe work boots. To top it all off they have monthly fun days for the staff whether it be a barbeque or a day out. They seem to treat their staff like gold. Once I start I want to bust my ass to make this thing work. If they treat me that well then I want to make sure they will want to keep me around.
Last Saturday I took my date bowling. Had a couple of games then played some foosball. Its going well. We went out for lunch the first date, went for drinks the second, coffee the third and did something fun the fourth. I'm running out of ideas on what to do on dates now. Help? ;D

The funny thing about that pic is that his entire body is wet yet his head is dry. In a way it looks like someone photoshopped a dry cat's head onto a wet cat's body. But that is not the case. ;D
I started the new job on Weds. It is a lot to take in. There is so much shit I have to learn. I am feeling a little overwhelmed by it all but I am determined as hell to learn everything I can and make this shit work.
On Monday I get to see Tracey after work so I will buy her ice cream I think. There is a Dairy Queen not far from Tony Roma's. Ice cream is good.

This new job is kicking my ass! I enjoy it, don't get me wrong. But I'm getting up at 5 am, doing lots of heavy lifting all day, moving big objects around and driving a forklift all over the place. It is tiring, even the fork lifting oddly enough. I used to go to bed at midnight at the old job and I figured maybe 10pm was a good bedtime with this new job. But I'm thinking 9 is probably better. I am beat by the time I get home and 7 hours is one hour short of a perfect sleep. I don't like sleeping on the bus. Today was a great day. My friend who got me the job has been the one training me but today it was crazy busy so he had other stuff to do. He left me alone to deal with things solo. It was my first chance to take what I have learned so far and put it all to use without having someone hold my hand and it really felt good. Every now and then he would stop by and I would have him help with things I struggled with but overall I did pretty damn good on my own. I'm fucking proud of myself. ;D EDIT>> I also got my own personalized coveralls today with my name on em. Since there already is another Alex (my friend who got me the job) they decided to put my last initial on mine so we can tell the difference between coveralls. But they mixed up my last initial (R) with my middle initial (H). Whoops? XD

Good going on the new job. It's tiring, but you have a feeling of accomplishment, yes?
I hope to be employed by the end of the year. Driving Lessons may be on the horizon for me. My car is now in my father's name instead of my mother's, and the title just came in so they can get it insured soon.
After I learn to drive, the plan is for me to get a job. Not gonna be easy for me to find one, but I hope I can.
