I'll drop this in here, @d0ublestr0ker0ll since you told them you had a part time job, assuming you didn't tell them where you were working, if they do ask, tell them you are helping a friend out with their landscaping business doing odd jobs getting paid under the table.  That way they can't sniff out the lie easily.  And it's something that you could "quit easily" from with no traces of actual employment.

 

That's exactly what my friends and family told me to say, helping a friend with a landscaping business.  Funny how you telling me to say that is the third time I've heard it this week.  My concern now is that it's "the lie everyone uses".  I've always been 100% honest about mistakes and sicknesses here, because in the hospital realm it always ends up being a good thing in the long run...but I'm in a manic state of mind.  Desperate times...

 

I shut down yet again for a few days.  Haven't had this much anxiety and depression since my early teens.  The past month has been miserable.  I just want them to leave me alone, and they'll get the same over-the-top performances I like to give.  Right now, I suck.  Terrible.

More than 6 hours now, still no power.  Power company still hasn’t identified the problem and won’t provide an estimated time for repairs.   BS.  Feel sorry for my neighbors that don’t  have a generator.

You're swaying me to get one...it's been a long time since I've had to go without power for that long...I've got plenty of stuff, but not having TV would kill me. :ols:

Power just came back on...8.6 hours later.   It wasn't even much of a storm that came through.  But we lose power frequently here, which is why I got the generator.  Especially after isabel where we were without power for 8 days.

I put Back to the Future on last night, to have on in the background while I gutted my closet.  Let's just say nothing got done, and I pretty much stood there the whole time with my eyes glues on the TV.  The acting is so good.  Bravo to young Michael J. Fox.  

 

Damn tho, I gotta get to this closet.  Old drums in the back of it need to get sold.  Take up too much damn room.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - September 23, 1779 John Paul Jones wins in English Waters

 

Scottish-born John Paul Jones first sailed to America as a cabin boy and lived for a time in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where his brother had a business. He later served on slave and merchant ships and proved an able seaman. After he killed a fellow sailor while suppressing a mutiny, he returned to the American colonies to escape possible British prosecution. With the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775, he traveled to Philadelphia and was commissioned a senior lieutenant in the new Continental Navy. He soon distinguished himself in actions against British ships in the Bahamas, the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel.

 

In August 1779, Jones took command of the Bonhomme Richard and sailed around the British Isles. On September 23, the Bonhomme Richard engaged the Serapis and the smaller Countess of Scarborough, which were escorting the Baltic merchant fleet. After inflicting considerable damage to the Bonhomme Richard, Richard Pearson, the captain of the Serapis, asked Jones if he had struck his colors, the naval signal indicating surrender. From his disabled ship, Jones replied, “I have not yet begun to fight,” and after three more hours of furious fighting it was the Serapis and Countess of Scarborough that surrendered. After the victory, the Americans transferred to the Serapis from the Bonhomme Richard, which sank the following day.

No poverty wings tonight, fam.

 

I thought bougie-ass smoked wings were the only way you'd get wings.  What are you doing ****ing around with poverty wings?

I was substitute teaching as an elementary school PE teacher today. First grader had an accident in the gym. The other PE teacher asked me if I could go find Jose the custodian. Walked out the door and he happened to be walking down the hall right there so I’m like, “hey, a first grader just peed in the gym.” and he just looks at me funny like, “why are you telling me this?” So I go, “I thought maybe you could clean it up?”

 

Turns out that wasn’t Jose. It was Mr. Gutierrez the school counselor. I can never go back.
