Procrastination (sp?)
Midterms abound this week at UPS. You can tell just by looking at a sample of away messages.
Yesterday Tag quit the swim team, following suit behind Johnny who quit cross-country last week due to an injury. The four of us got a good session of RoadRash64 going yesterday afternoon to celebrate the success that Mark and I have had in influencing people to not care anymore. Lindsey showed up for a bit and played to celebrate her third effort ever to ditch class (in college). Next we're hoping to work on our Quantum prof.
The moral of the story? I'm in the library right now 'working' on a religion paper that I didn't turn in on Monday and 'studying' for the midterm that's today.
I have about the work ethic of a snakehandler that's found an unopened can of high life.
Sorry Andy, but once again it's time to trash talk some T-locs (how the fuck do you like that alliteration Jack)! Now you might ask, how does bashing on T-locs tie into Andy's entry? My answer is that like Andy's reference to snake handlers, I think the problem we have today is that T-locs just don't have anything better to do than drink some High Life and break into people's cars. Yes, once again (meaning not for the first time), my car got broken into. The last time this happened I lost nothing because I was smart enough to know that it was only a matter of time until those rascals tried their luck on the jeep. This time however, I made the mistake of leaving my cd face plate in the car. So they took that and a duffle bag that had some EMS stuff in it, neither of which they will find at all useful (and who says T-locs isn't the brightest tools in the shed, I mean, this isn't rocket surgery)! The unprofessional manner in which the car was left leads me to believe that the perpetrator was a young teenager or group thereof. The sunglasses, tools, and maglite were untouched. The moral of my story is that I'm not upset about the loss of the cd face plate, I mean, it's only a cd face plate, which is exactly the reason that I don't understand why somebody would take such a thing. I have helped out a lot of young "troubled" kids lately, including one 18 year old last week who tried to kill himself by taking 40 tylenol and then cutting his arms up. Again, all I can do is wonder why. If you REALLY want to kill yourself, do it right, and if you REALLY want to steal a cd player, don't just take the face plate. Sorry Andy, this doesn't apply to folks that live across the bay.
