Stuff

So I don't have much to write about except to say that I am moving back to Westerville tomorrow, and the stupid cable service won't be over to hook up our internet for an ENTIRE WEEK!!! So this is like vacation all over again. If you want to get ahold of me, and I hope you do, just call. And I am now a moderator for www.hotornot.com so go there and use it. It's fun. Oh, and I also got tagged by Jenn and Amanda to do some song thing where you list five songs and the artists that you are currently playing a lot, no particular order, and then tag 5 other people to do the same. I don't know if I know another five people who have blogs and who read mine, but Lisa and Jonathan and Nick, you'd better do it. :) Ok, you totally don't have to. But by me doing it, Jenn and Amanda know I still read their blogs regularly.

1. Mess I've Made - Ben Folds
2. What Ever Happended to My Part? - Sara Ramirez, Spamalot soundtrack
3. Rest In Peace - James Marsters, Buffy: Once More With Feeling
4. 80's TV Theme Medley - Brian & Stewie (Seth McFarlane), Family Guy: Live In Las Vegas
5. Magic Moments - Perry Como, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy soundtrack

"I teach my children to be kind and take extragood care of their toys. It teaches themdiscipline and shows them that if they takecare of things, they'll last longer. But themain reason is that if toys should ever cometo life and take over the world, maybe they'llremember our kindness and spare my family." ~ www.ruminate.com

Great Way to Start the Month

So I get back from vacation...to be fired! After six years with Flyer's Pizza, they decide to fire me, no questions asked, for "falsifying documents". Luckily two great guys stuck up for me, came to me and let me explain the company's own records, which for some reason the office didn't understand, and show them how I did nothing of the sort. Don't get me wrong, I am very greatful to Chris and Scott for their sticking up for me, but the whole fact that after 6 years my employers, people who do know me, would believe for a second that I would attempt to cheat them and screw them over, and in turn fired me without an explanation, really ticks me off. This morning I was offered an apology (from the people who stuck for me, not the people who offended me) and better driving shifts, but no compensation for the 15 hours of wages plus tips I should have made yesterday but was sent home, and a whole 24 hours of stress and anger and not much sleep last night. It's totall bull crap. At least if they fired me, I could collect unemployment and sue, but since they changed their minds after all the crap I just have to suck it up and continue to work for them until I find something else. I was also informed I would not be getting a raise this year because I was "maxed out" on part-time pay, which is utter bull crap too. Inflation should at least figure into it, and all the stuff I do for them! And with the price of gas, and my commute, and the fact that I will now basically only be driving, it's just not fair. That's my rant, but while I still have much admiration and respect for certain people within the company, as far as I'm concerned Flyer's Pizza as a company is shit and I would not be sorry if they went under. Bastards.

Hodge Podge

Spamalot Soundtrack - Pretty good. Not a lot of memorable stuff, but still funny. You have to love Hank Azaria, Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Sieber, Sara Ramirez and Michael McGrath.
Felicity Season One - Made me cry a lot. Not as melodramatic as Dawson's Creek though, which is good. I am furious at the ending and can't wait to start season two tonight!
Batman Begins - Very intense, but incredible! I can't wait for them to continue this movie series.
Fantastic Four - I thought it was enjoyable. Funny at parts, but all around a pretty good movie.
Wicked: Songbook - I hate the keys! I can barely plunk along with the vocal line! But good music.
Summer Sisters - An unexpectedly good book by Judy Blume. A bit risque, but I like that. Can't wait to finish the last 100 pages.
Wicked - The novel by Gregory Maguire was pretty good, and it definitely left me with things and philosophies to think about.
Tales From The Captain's Table - Good collection of stories about Captains Jonathan Archer(Enterprise NX-01), William Riker (Titan), Elizabeth Shelby (Excalibur / Trident), Chakotay (Voyager), Jean-Luc Picard (Enterprise-D), Demora Sulu (Enterprise-B), Gold (DaVinci), Kira Nyres (Deep Space 9 / Defiant), and Klag. For those of you who don't know, Gold is part of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers book series and Shelby, who was a guest character in the TNG episode "Best of Both Worlds" is in New Frontier. Klag was the Klingon 2nd officer in the TNG episode where Riker did the officer exchange, and he is now a captain and has his own book series. Jenn, the Chakotay story was pretty good. It was the story of how he joined Starfleet sponsered by the old Captain Demore Sulu, who had left the Enterprise-B by that point. Riker's story was his honeymoon. Picard's was from the period between Stargazer and Enterprise-D.
Goerge W. Bush - Should still not be in office. :)

Ok, enough about that. I need to crash. I am exhausted from several days of solid work.

Qop! (From Spamlalot / Arthur - Tim Curry / Robin - David Hyde Pierce)
ARTHUR: Have you heard of this Broadway?
ROBIN: Yes Sire, but we don't stand a chance there?
ARTHUR: WHy not?
ROBIN: Because Broadway is a very special place, filled with very special people, people who can sing and dance often at the same time. They are a different people, a multi-talented people, a people who need people and who are in many ways the luckiest people in the world. I'm sorry Sire, we don't have a chance...So listen Arthur, Darling, Closely to this neqa, We won't succeed on Broadway if we don't have any Jews! There's a very small percentiel, who enjoys a dancing gentile...You just won't succeed on Broadway if you don't have any Jews!

"Whatever happened to my part? It was exciting at the start, now we're halfway through Act Two, And I've had nothing yet to do, I've been off stage for far too long, It's ages since I had a song...I've no Tony Awars, I'm constantly replaced by Britney Spears! I might as well go to the pub! They've been out searching for a shrub! Out shopping for a bush, well they can kiss my tush. It seems to me they've really lost the ploy, whatever happened to my part?"
