So, Phillip Gramm, some economic advisor for the white house who has a doctorate in economics, told The Washington Times that the United States was "a nation of whiners" in a "mental recession."


"We have sort of become a nation of whiners," Gramm told the Times. "You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline. ... You've heard of mental depression. This is a mental recession."



... What?


Wait, WHAT? You are you FUCKING joking me?


Gas costs 5 dollars a gallon; the housing industry down the tubes; people cock their eyebrows at a 600 dollar stiumuls check the government sends us, wondering what the FUCK we can possibly do with "so little money"; Social Security picks on people like my mother and I simply to be assbags, and this D-bag thinks we're WHINING?


Oh my god. And this douche is supposed to be Treasurer if McCain wins the election.



FUCK. THAT.



I bet this bastard thinks the War in Iraq is "all in our minds", too.

It's officially over.

That's right. Red Vs Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles came out with it's last episode ever approximately 7 hours ago (6/28/07 2:34AM PST). I was still up at that time but didn't bother to go look.

I had to do a little bit of unnecessarry hunting to find the actual episode itself, so here's a link for the episode directly. Be warned that it's really long and pretty heavy, and my computer lagged through half of the motion.

There's closure, so trust me, it's not coming back.

HAHA, FUCKER.

( just part of the plan )

So, I went to work this morning and got bitched at by Annette. Apparently I've been taking too many days off and I'm not even a full-time worker, blah. Blah. BLAH. It was just a warning, but nonetheless, not the best way to start off a Sunday, which for the record has become my least favorite day of the week since I started working.

Today was really, really shitty and I ended up taking like 6 tylenol over the course of 6 hours. I know you're probably not supposed to do that, but I really don't care. I had a headache, god dammit.

So then of course I get put in the front (station 4, which has SEVEN tables, and close enough to the front doors to be in fear of having DA VAGIN MAN sit there)which is hell on earth on Sunday anyway. Then I had 24 people barking at me for things when I was in the middle of helping another table, or CARRYING A HEAVY TRAY FULL OF DIRTY DISHES (which is my pet peeve-- not the carrying part, the being-bothered-while-I'm-so-obviously-doing-something-else part). I had a full station and a lot of people, ( 6 x 4 = 24 + 6 = 30 people) but I didn't let it get me down. I really didn't. I kept a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

Until I went back to get (...What was it? 4 iced teas, two soups and three V8s, I think) and mistakingly got 4 lemonades instead of iced teas, which I laughed about because Danielle had just done something similar. Then when I finally got the tea right I carried them over to get the V8, put the tray down on the counter and could do little less than watch in horror as someone bumped into me and the iced teas -- all four of them-- went crashing to the floor, breaking the glasses and getting the tea everywhere.

I almost cried. Not because I broke the glasses and made everyone else's lives inconvinient, but because I had just gotten that order right, and I knew that if I went out there to give the other shit to the people they would scream at me. (I took two tylenol.)

Then a while later, my station is full, and I go out to give someone their food or whatever and someone is continually yelling "Where's my food?". The buffet line, mind you, has been overflowing with people. IT'S SUNDAY. Everyone goes to O 'Neilly terrace on SUNDAY. So the buffet line is slow. I had to explain to this woman that... yes, the buffet line is slow and it is going to take a few minutes. She rolled her eyes at me. (I took two tylenol.)

Then, two fourty three comes, and James comes up to me and goes, "Get Igell to watch your station. You're going on break right now." Which made me smile. I had started muttering and talking to myself, and James probably heard me when I walked by him or when he bused one of my tables. I went and told my ONE PERSON (all of my other people had left)that I was going on break, got Igell to watch my station and went on break.

So I'm eating pleasantly. Having nice conversation with James, Margaret, and Lu. When, suddenly, who comes in? Annette. Apparently, my table(S!) didn't know I was going on break. ... I just had one person a second ago. I told her that, and I told her that I told him that I was going. Did I tell Igell? Yes, I told Igell. I always ask before going on break. She left the room.

Upon coming back from break, I go back to my station and see that I now have three tables. WHAT THE SHIT(I took two tylenol. Not kidding.)

Things went poorly for the rest of the night, and I finally just got to go home. So now here I am. I'm seriously considering befriending a younger roleplayer, and I'm not really sure why. I think, maybe, that I'm tired of being the younest person I know who roleplays? I donno.

And by the way. THIS is bullshit and I'm tired of it. I know a few people I rp with have considered, if not totally acted upon, picking up and moving whatever rp they happen to be in, or even their personal journals. Personally, I hope this Asscrack guy gets canned for this, for he is weilding a power that isn't even his. Secondly, I'm not going to get chased away from LJ simply because some Asscrack and his Asscrack-smoking followers are going crazy and witchunting people, okay? I understand the circumstances and I understand where they are coming from, but a little investigation is necessarry before assuming shit and acting upon it, and I think anyone with a head on their shoulders knows that. Or should know that, rather, since Asscrack and his Asscrack-smoking followers are living proof of the fact that not all people do.

That's like one of my coworkers, who's a bit biblecrazy but nonetheless a nice person. She looks at me and Geoff one day and goes, "So are you guys, like, for child pornography or something?
Me and Geoff: O__O
Me: NO!
Geoff: What the hell makes you say that?
Her: Well, what are you doing to stop it?
Me: Um...
Her: See? And you guys should go get AIDS tested, too.
[She had recently told me about some guy she liked that had a boyfriend, and how she was so happy she didn't end up sleeping with him because then she would have gotten AIDS, and those were her exact words.]
Me: =__=; *goes back to work*
Geoff: *too*

Ugh. So, okay, anyway, I also found out that my BOSS and one of my coworkers were/are really sick. Richard had 93% blockage in one arterie of his heart, and 76% in another, and was really close to a serious heart-attack, he told us. Rozalie has kidney stones, I think, but she's been gone for a week or two. And Karina quit, so I'm gonna miss her.


WORK. ASIDE.


I've been trying to get back on top of my RPs, but it probably won't happen until Wednesday, when I no longer have school to worry about. But I guess that still is work, isn't it? Eh, oh well.

I watched "Turostas" with my mom this weekend. ... It was really, really weird. Very good, but very weird. It was about this guy, his sister, and her friend (Alex, Bea, and Amy) who go to Brazil for vacation. They end up hanging out with one native, two Columbians and three Austrailians (Kiko, Svend, Annicka, and Pru, Finn, and Liam). Like I said, very good. I actually wanna watch it again... My aunt said it was really gorey, but The Descent was much, much worse as far as that goes. Turistas was just like... watching ER, or something.

And, huh. I got back home at 5:30, and my parents said they'd be home in four minutes when I called them. ... It's currently 7:05. ... Word.


Well, I'mmuna find something to do...

Pff, as if a vampire and a mermaid would be sitting at some kitchen table eating poptarts.
