Oh man, I had the best day in my life today, I think. It was my first day on the job at the computer shop. Again, my mom woke me up at six thirty. I took a shower, and put on my shorts, an undershirt(because it's colder now) and my green "me" t-shirt. I went to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of milk and poured some scoops of my little brothers weight gainer stuff.
The other day I had found a big can of weight-gainer stuff that had been there for over a year. It said, "complete nutrition" on it so I got the idea of just drinking those for breakfast, instead of food. What better way to start your day? I drank my glass of paste and grabbed my walking stick. I walked all the way to the grocery store again and when I walked up to the bus stop my bus pulled up. I got on and told the driver, "Excuse me sir, I am starting a job today at a computer shop and all I have is this one dollar for lunch today. I don't suppose I can get a free ride?" He said sure and told me to get on. Wow, my day was starting great. Off we rode to Prue and Horn, by my friend Carlos' neighborhood. The 604 that passes right by the computer shop passes through there, but I didn't know what time it was coming. I just walked the bus route, occasionally turning around to see if the bus was coming. I made it all the way to work, a good two miles, and the bus never came. It was a great walk though. "Hmm, I can do this everyday before I go to work," I thought.
Well anyway, I got there a little early so I rolled a cigarette and smoked it. I went in and told them to put me to work.
Okay, I had left this entry unfinished because I got kicked off the computer. It's November second now and I can't remember all the details of my day. Just let me tell you how badass a job this is though. I'm doing what I know and love and time flies by quick. I can dress normal and everyone is really laid back. They crack jokes and cuss. Talk about dream job. I'm scheduled to work full time, Monday through Friday, nine to six. I don't have much time to devote to my saving-the-world goals. But, this job will only be a springboard for my ideas. I'm working with people who are familiar with the Internet and what it's capable of. I'm going to gradually ease my suggestions to them for I have learned that people usually aren't ready for the end-result. I have to take it slow.
Dude, everyone there is mouse-dependent except one guy who I want to hang out with one day and talk to. Even the nerdy-lookin' computer techs are loyal to the mouse. I even get made fun of sometimes and called The Keyboard Kid. Once I get my computer back from Chasity I have a text file I wrote up with all the keyboard shortcuts and I'll pass it around work.
But okay, I'm tired of writing. Till next time.
