…I spray painted my computer case. I fucked it up and ran the paint real bad, so my dad sanded it and made it look good. It looks like it was made the metallic-grey-blue I have on it now. He can paint good. Anyway, I am happy to report that since I painted my computer, it added 500 MHz to it, so now I am running a 1 GHz machine.
…is up and running, so to speak. The codes are now set. When you walk in, a chime goes off, and you hear “back kitchen door open” or “front door, den, open.” “Please enter keycode now.” Then you have 30 seconds to enter the keycode, or the alarm goes off. The police come. I make fun of the security system non-stop. We were eating supper yesterday, and my dad walked in, and it goes “Kitchen, back door, open.” I went into my english school-girl accent and said “You’re all going to die down here.” Benjamin erupted into laughter, and my parents stared indifferently.
10:00am - I wake up and get ready to go to work
10:45am- I start my long ass day at work
appx.11:30am - one of my managers needs to go to the bank to buy some $1’s but also decides to go cash his paycheck too (which isnt allowed) then after that he decides to go Bennigans to get some food for the people at work. well he was gone about an hour. soon after he left, the typical morning rush hit, but we were short one person because he went to the bank so what usually is a breeze turned into hell because it was just me, and one other person up front (there is supposed to be 3, 2 for the registers and one person to do dining room stuff like clean tables, run food out, and run bread). well the one other person has a problem with dealing with stress so she was freakin out bad. it was really funny. well as soon as the rush ended, guess who shows up? needless to say he was picked on about that the whole night, how he conveniently disappears during rushes.
appx. 7:30pm- my other managers leave thinking that the rush is over and that i can handle the rest of the night. shortly after they left, a college Track&Field team came in and started a very frustrating hour and a half long rush from hell. they ordered a little over $120 worth of food which on its own wouldnt be that bad BUT added on to a poorly timed Drive-thru rush and the regular dining room rush, it just all added up to HELL.
10:30pm - Fazoli’s closes and the other managers return for our weekly managers meeting. blah blah blah i didnt end up leaving work until about 1:30am
1:30am i leave and go home and read the SpaceMonkey website and find out that everyone is at Scotts house for another LAN party (the big one was the night before but i had forgotten) so i srgued with my mom about it until she finally let me go. so i get there and watch everyone play some Half-Life mod’s (namely Day of Defeat and Counterstrike). i was kickin some ass on DoD.
maybe about 3am - we take a time out from playing games to make a really cool video with Byrd’s digicam. what it was was 2 people walking and bumping into each other while everone around them are blurs. so we had them walk really slow and everyaround them walk really fast so when we played it in fast motion they would be walking normal speed while blurry figures are walking past them. in scotts basement he has these support poles with holes in them i guess to put tings in. well when i was walking around really fast i grabbed one them so i could spin around it and head in the other direction. well when i did that, my middle finger apparently was on one of these holes and a sliced a couple layers of skin off my finger like a cheese grater. i hurt like a bitch but it wasnt bleeding at first so i thought “tis merely a flesh wound” but boy was a wrong. that thing starting gushing blood like crazy. so i grabbed some napkins and some twisty ties and made myself a bandaid. it stung like hell and the napkin was redder than something thats really red. then after that we went back and played some more games.
6:30 - i’m extremly tired at this point seeing as i’ve been up for about 20 hours straight now, so i go home and go to sleep and i woke up at about 2pm. tonight i am gonna go see Blade 2. i was planning on getting a tattoo but i doubt i will have time for that. oh yeah i forgot to mention, at work i bought a big bucket of sidewalk chalk from some catalog my friend was selling things out of so i took the chalk to the Big Lots parking lot next door and wrote FAZOLIS in big letters. there were like 7 parking spaces adjacent to Fazolis so i wrote one huge letter in each space. it was so funny. but anyway i shall go now. buh bye
