cooking tip:
buy 5 mcdonald's hamburgers or cheeseburgers. refrigerate for 4-12 hours. unwrap and enjoy.
seriously, i think cold mcdonalds hamburgers are better than when they just made it.
also, when i went to buy 8 burgers (not all for me), they told me there was a limit of 5. bastards. so i took my burgers and went in the drive thru and got 5 more. the guy in the drive thru saw me buy the 5 burgers inside, so we exchanged awkward glances. but i got my burgers. i'm wayne brady, bitch!!!
random note: i think hold'em is the only game where all things being equal, you always wanna root for the favorite.

evenin' bitches.
here's another blog containing someone trashing work.
so there's this drill that we are creating for work for the midwest region (mainly as a response to that blackout last year). it was pretty much my boss' brainchild. it was his idea, his plan, etc, since he's the "drill guru". so i get pegged to be the assistant "drill guru", which is fine. then my boss gets his services rented out by the government council, and this drill gets put in my lap. i wouldn't mind, except...... it sucks. im gonna have to work around 50 hr weeks without getting extra pay probably until this job's gone in about 2 months, (which, by the way, doesn't help my motivation). the most unfathomable thing is that this drill is supposed to be innovative and the first of it's kind, and they have me, drill lackey boy, developing it. well, don't blame me if we have a multi-state blackout because no one's prepared, blame the geniuses running the show. AND if i have to miss the apprentice on thursday because of work, i'll be even more pissed. if i had another job lined up, i'd be gone by now. but it is pretty interesting how fast the day goes when you actually have stuff to do at work.
since i'll probably be terminated in a couple months (this time for real), i'm starting to think about what to do next. i can probably get another job doing what i do now in indy or pennsylvania, but i don't know if i want to pigeonhole myself into this industry. then again, there's not much else i want to do, except maybe professional poker player. but that probably won't work, since i suck, and start to lose interest playing only a couple hours a week. when i start thinking about applying for jobs, i think of that one seinfeld where george gets laid off, and him and jerry are talking about what things he can do:
GEORGE: Nobody's hiring now. The market's terrible.
JERRY: So what are you gonna do?
GEORGE: I like sports. I could do something in sports.
JERRY: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. In what capacity?
GEORGE: You know, like the general manager of a baseball team or something.
JERRY: Yeah. Well, that - that could be tough to get.
GEORGE: Well, it doesn't even have to be the general manager. Maybe I could be like, an announcer. Like a color man. You know how I always make those interesting comments during the game.
JERRY: Yeah. Yeah. You make good comments.
GEORGE: What about that?
JERRY: Well, they tend to give those jobs to ex-ballplayers and people that are, you know, in broadcasting.
GEORGE: Well, that's really not fair.
JERRY: I know. Well, okay. Okay. What else do ya like?
GEORGE: Movies. I like to watch movies.
JERRY: Yeah. Yeah.
GEORGE: Do they pay people to watch movies?
JERRY: Projectionists.
GEORGE: That's true.
JERRY: But you gotta know how to work the projector.
GEORGE: Right.
JERRY: And it's probably a union thing.
GEORGE: [scoffs] Those unions. [sighs] Okay. Sports,...movies. What about a talk show host?
JERRY: Talk show host. That's good.
GEORGE: I think I'd be good at that. I talk to people all the time. Someone even told me once they thought I'd be a good talk show host.
JERRY: Really?
GEORGE: Yeah. A couple of people. I don't get that, though. Where do you start?
JERRY: Well, that's where it gets tricky.
GEORGE: You can't just walk into a building and say " I wanna be a talk show host."
JERRY: I wouldn't think so.
GEORGE: It's all politics.
JERRY: All right. Okay. Sports, movies, talk show host. What else?
GEORGE: This could have been a huge mistake.
JERRY: Well, it doesn't sound like you completely thought this through.
