Well, I'm still fired.

I didn't get the position at the radio station.

Am trying to find a job in Alexandria.

Expect more movie reviews more frequently.

Well, I can't hate work anymore.

Yes, ladies and gennulmenz, I WAS FIRED!

But it wasn't my fault! My alarm didn't go off, and my phone is broken! REALLY! Anyway, I give 'em a call, and they say I'm through! In a way, I'm relieved. My emotions were going raw, and they were cutting my time way back anyway. I harbor no ill will tward any of them. They're good people. But I did gain 20 pounds while working there, and it'll be nice to be away from all that easy yet fattening food. Ever wonder where I got my logo? Check my reviews and find out!

I HATE WORK!

Actually, I just dislike some of the people I work with, but that's to be expected. They tried to screw me out of a decent pay raise, but I was able to get it just by asking (I'm supposed to keep that confidential, SHHHHHHH!) I'm really stoked to have found a Green Jelly web site!

Hello Again! Things have been going pretty well in my life. McDonald's keeps getting easier and easier to do, we got a new cool News Director down at the station, and I'm finally able to not worry about how I'm gonna pay my bills. The new News Director has some great ideas to get the station out of its apathetic slump. He brought his own computer. He knows his stuff. It feels good to be busy. Have a Nice Day!

Yee-ha! Ride 'em Tex! HI! Miss me? Of course you didn't! Well, I'm now a complete tool for the corporate establishment! That's right, I'm doing the thing I promised myself I'd never do: WORK AT McDONALD'S! The work isn't all that hard, but you get a lot of guff from some of the supervisors and even more from the 16-year-old punks who've worked there longer than you who like to order you around to feel some sort of mock superiority. But I digress. I've let them know I won't take their poopie! And the paycheck will be nice, as well. My supervisor told me "Don't even THINK about leaving before you get a manager's approval!" I hate it when people say "Don't even THINK..." Cuz then what do you do? That's right, you purposely THINK about leaving, just to spite them. Ah, so what? I'm now a voting delegate for the Green Party of Minnesota. Will have to remember to ask for time off that day. Saw a HILARIOUS website! Read all about it on my reviews page!

My, My, My! It has been a while, has it not? Where do I begin? WAY too much has happened in the last 7 1/2 months, but I'll try:

Got a job in April working overnights at grocery store, which explained my departure. With the extra income, I moved out of parents home in June. Unfortunately, I was fired from my grocery store job in July, or was politely told to quit, just as well, since it was too much work for too little pay. Kept up the DJ-ing thing, and got a nice 4-week temp job collecting soil samples for CENTROL. No immediate supervisor, decent pay, but alas, too short. All my other potential job places keep saying "we'll call you next week"! On the upside, got to see lots of movies, kept on DJ-ing, and read some good books. I turn 24 tomorrow. The End.

Been sick as a dog the last few days. Stuffy nose, raging fevers, unproductive cough, the works. I'm better now. Worked the Saturday 6-midnight shift, which is diffrent:

6pm-Midnight Supergold with Mike Harvey

And sometimes I work Sunday nights:

6pm-9pm The Best of Talknet with Bruce Williams

9pm-Midnight The Troubleshooter: Tom Martino!

Bruce Williams is one of those humourless rich guys who berates others for not making 6 figures a year. Mr. Martino is a wacky guy who busts businessess that screw people over. Used to be "David Essel Alive" in his spot, but he got pulled in January for being too off-the-wall. Some of the things these AM radio hosts get away with saying would make Howard Stern blush. Don't get me wrong; I HATE Howard Stern. He's just unfunny. Saw Cecil B. Demented. Check out my review.

My finger is better, but kinda looks like a bowling pin. But enough about me: Here's my take on April Fools Day pranks: The key is: Keep 'Em Simple. Telling someone you ran over their dog and an elephant did their business on their car is just too much. A good strategy is to point to a bare place on the floor or wall and say in an inquisitive tone: "What's that?" 99 44/100% of the time, the person will HAVE to look, and you got 'em already! A simple "April Fool" will do. Don't gloat. It's fun for both parties. So try it now before it's too late, or just remember for next time!

I busted my hand today. Well, not really. Just a bad sprain. But it did make me pale and woozy. It involved a corn planter and a handyman jack. It slipped. My hand was in the wrong place. KAPOW! They say when a major accident happens, things slow down, but everthing was a quick as can be, so I guess I was pretty lucky. My hand is in a nice little splint now, and it's not that bad anymore. Sympathy is welcome!
