A Mumble-Jumble of Stuff!

Hello, I'm back after a few days rest - rest from my blog that is; otherwise, I've been extremely busy with work and the like! I don't really have anything of note to report...the past three days were pretty ordinary work days and I am a good $240 richer. Perhaps the only noteworthy item of interest was the extremely quick hire and fire of a new guy who seemingly couldn't perform a simple job for beans. He began his day as a Can-Man, a person who picks up anything that falls off of the conveyer belt and empties out the garbage bins. It is widely recognized at the plant as the most difficult and gruelling job. Thus, the new guy always gets put on the cans to see if he can hold out, saving the rest of us the trouble, hehe. Unfortunately, Mr. New Guy didn't make many friends after accidentally shutting down the line, throwing out everyone's free milk coupons, and yelling intrudingly at each of us for dropping things on the floor. Flying back and forth was an abundance of swearing you'd never let your mother hear between my friend Sandy and him - I could hardly hold in my laughter but strove to hold my tongue when I got dagger-like glares from the both of them. Thankfully, more for Sandy's sake than mine, my boss soon saw that our new friend couldn't be trusted on the cans since by the end of our first shift, our aisle was in shambles. As a result, Mr. New Guy became Conveyer-Belt-Man, the same as myself. As you've probably already guessed, all he did was randomly throw huge wads of paper into the cardboard and pop can shoots while gabbing away about absolutely nothing at the people around him. Strike Two for Mr. New Guy. In the end, he was sent downstairs in a brooding rage to do a job saved for the imbeciles of all imbeciles - sweeping up glass. Although I wasn't present, judging by the prevailing peace at the plant today, he didn't even make it to Base Three before getting sacked. Although we only had one day together, I will always remember Mr. New Guy for the endless entertainment he provided and hope that he finds a place more suited to his amicable nature.

I also saw my friend Sharon at the mall yesterday for the first time in ages! She was there with her husband and child, Jordon who has really grown up since I last saw him. He resembles his father in looks but has Sharon's characteristic red hair which I think is adorable. What is more, Sharon is preggers again! Apparently, she is due in only a few weeks, and I had no idea that she was pregnant in the first place! Anyway, if you are reading Sharon, I want to say congratulations again and it was lovely to see you! (Sorry again for my smelly state...I never look too hot after getting out of work...lol.)

Ahh yes...and I know nobody cares but the Pet Shop Boys came out with their first new album in three years called Fundamental the other day. One listen and I was hooked. To end off my post, I'd like to post the lyrics to one of their songs which I found to be very funny - what I love about the PSB more than anything is their ability to manipulate words in an intelligent manner and match them perfectly with a dance beat. On that note, here are the lyrics:

Casanova in Hell

The Girl's Perfection/Inspires Affection/It's Queer/That Here/He Can't Cast His Spell/In Her Direction/Somewhere Near/One Senses Fear/Casanova In Hell

The Girl Is Naked/The Boy Is Naked/He Hides/Inside/A Secret Chamber/There To Gape/Though A Velvet Drape/And Dream Of Rape/Casanova In Hell

Her Sharp Perception/He Couldn't Get An Erection/Came As A Shock/He Finds Himself/A Laughing-Stock/His Ageing Fate/To Contemplate/Casanova In Hell

Back In The Library/His Revenge Is His Story/What He Will Write/Will Recall The Bite/Of His Wit/And Legendary Appitite/The Sybarite/Casanova Is Well

For Casanova Has The Last Laugh/Creates The Myth And Vindication/Of His Sexual Vocation/Makes The Definitive Collection/His Lives and Lovers And Above All/His Erection/Will Live In History

P.S. My dear Jeremy Northam, I just found out, is in the most recent version of Wuthering Heights! I decided to watch it on TV yesterday since I'm working through the book and I was blessed with his presence to my great surprise~ Too bad he played an evil bastard in the film...but what do I care? He'd wow me even if he were dancing around in a tutu singing Mama Mia! Okay, I'm done...lol.
