Ran out of food yesterday, so I decided to buy dinner at the student center cafeteria. Eighteen bucks for chicken tenders, onion rings, a bag of pretzels, and a drink. And on top of thing, I got a nice case of food poisoning that put me out of commission all night and most of today.
Ugh. Women gymnastics? Is it 1948 and you are hyperventilating over a NationAl Geographic pictorial of tribal women? Srsly? Trampolines? Here's a clueby: Google the word 'nude' and I'll see you in three days. Sheesh
It has nothing to do with their attire (or lack thereof).
It has everything to do with the flexibility and limberness and their vault mount & dismount.

Speaking of Valvoline, back in the late 90s I had a Geo Metro with a b&~%* of an oil leak. At the time, Valvoline had a policy where if you got an oil change from them, you could get a "free fluid top off" whenever you want for the next 6 months. I would literally come in every week for 2 quarts of oil.
If they don't have that policy anymore, it's because I gamed the system like a bastard.
STILL f*%~ing unemployed, and getting jerked around like a fish on a hook by people who might give me a job. This is the longest I've been unemployed since I was thirteen years old.

I applied for a job at Valvoline Instant Oil Change in early January. Last Monday, I got a callback saying that they wanted to set up an interview, and that they would call the following day at 1 PM to actually schedule a time.
On Tuesday, 1 PM came and went without a phone call, so I called them at around 3 PM. The guy on the other end of the line apologized and said that he had forgotten to call me back, but the manager wasn't around, and I should call back in the morning.
On Wednesday, at around 9 AM, I called again, and got the same guy. He said that the manager was in, but was busy, and that he would call back in an hour. He never called back, so around 1 PM, I called them AGAIN. This time, a different guy answered the phone and said that he had no idea what was going on and to call back the next day.
On THURSDAY, around 2 PM, I called ONCE AGAIN, and this time actually got the manager. He said that he would call back in an hour to set up the interview. Guess what happened.
On FRIDAY, I called them YET AGAIN, and was given a quick brush-off by the guy from Wednesday, saying that things were really busy and he would call back in 45 minutes, which was exactly what he didn't do.
Today (well, yesterday, now), I didn't call them. My plan is to call them back on Monday, and if I get the same s&$&, I'm going to show up in person and ask what the f~&% is going on.
I REALLY need this job. The pay is decent, I already have experience doing this type of work, and Valvoline was the only business out of around 150-200 that gave me a callback. They have already said that they want to hire me, but apparently are too busy playing with themselves to do anything about it. What the hell is going on, and what the hell should I do?
I got a phone message yesterday from Valvoline saying that they wanted to set up an over-the-phone job interview, and would call back today at 1:00. At 3:00, they still hadn't called, so I called them. They said, "sure, no problem, we'll call in half an hour or so for the interview." It is now 5:00, and they haven't called. What the hell?

Heck, a pack of Marlboros go for $8.50 in the People's Republic of Bastardchusetts now, and even if your state isn't quite as bad as that, it's only a matter of time before they catch up!
In the last days of my working at the gas station, Marlboros were up to around $10.50, and we had the cheapest cigarettes in town.

Welcome to New York! Now, with higher cigarette taxes, gas taxes, and more laws on the books than any other state in the union!

Ah ha! And just ahead, crap on the opposite side of the interstate. Looks like an accident. So, of course, people on our side have to slow down and look. F*&~ing a@&$$$*s.
Used to play that in a buddy of mine's garage. In the U.S., no less! That game's the reason I have a dent in my skull and a bunch of crooked, f%&&ed-up fingers.
Looks like Brand New has a new album coming out, and even though it's post-rockier than the last one, their pop punk origins are creeping back a little. I swear, the more I listen to these guys, the better they get.
