Today, the owner of the deli announced that when he came back to work after his full recovery, that he was going to lay someone off. This morning i was working with just the two older women. We were all talking about it, and they thought that he was just going to cut everyones hours, because he couldn't get rid of anyone, because the of they way the schedule works. I thought this was a pretty valid point. That is until my bosses so came in, and we talked about it. He told me that he could get rid of someone, because he would just work the hours himself, which also makes total sense, and makes me wonder why i hadn't thought of that before. I know that i'm not going to get layed off though (knock wood), i hate to sound cocky, but i am a pretty valuable asset there right now. Mainly because i am very reliable. It would make me pretty happy to see a certain individual go, someone who creates the most waves.

My Room
I Have two very good friends who are brothers, one of which is in prison. He get's out in May, and 1 condition of his Parole is that his older brother, my other good friend can't live in the same house as him. They are kind of partners in crime. Therefore he has to move out in may. I think i'm going to see if he wants to be roomates. I need to get out of my mother's house, and move out on my own. I need my own space, and to tell you the truth, it get's sort of frustrating living with two women. We always disagree on stupid things, and get into stupid arguments. I also want to get a dog, and that's not going to happen living with my mom. I'm just a little worried about my friend being able to support the financial responsabilities he's going to have to. I have to really think about it before i present the idea to him. I know that he will want to do it, but i'm not sure i want to yet.

Another long one
11:02 pm
2/26/08
My Room
Today was a pretty long day. This morning i had English class at 6:30, which meant i was up at five o'clock this morning. After class i went over to the deli to make myself some breakfast. After i ate my egg sandwich, i noticed that the counter was left unmaned, and there were a few customers standing there waiting. Of course i helped them even though i wasn't really working. I wasn't working because i was due in court at 9:30. I got in my car and turned the key in the ignition. When the car started the engine was sputtering. I checked my oil, and it was low, so i drove the car to Hess to get some oil. I figured after i got more oil in the car, the sputtering would stop...it didn't. The entire drive to the courthouse in C.I., i was praying that i at least made it to the court complex before the car broke down. I ended up maiking it. When I got out of court, and drove the car a few miles, the sputtering stopped. I think there may have been some bad fuel in te gas line or something. I again found myself in the deli, for an easy 7 hour shift. I got out of work at six, ate some dinner, and have been doing homework ever since. My kind of day...

The Moment of truth

My Room
My mother and my sister are watching this show on Fox, called the moment of truth. It's a show where the contestant get's up on a stage with lie detector and they are asked personal questions on antional television. Are they Stupid? The episode thats on tonight is supposed to be so contraversial that they weren't going to air it. The girl on this particular episode is asked all sorts of questions about her marraige, and employment. The announcer keeps saying that her ansewers ruin her marraige. Wouldn't you think that someone who has something to hide, would think it was a bad idea to go on a show such as this one. Of sourse they are going to ask all the questions about things you don't want to talk about, it makes good television. Stupid People.

Computer Room
I went to the crazy donkey in Farmingdale tonight. There was a drum competition, and i have a friend who was in it. Unfortunately, he didn't win, but it was still a good time. I "re-met" a girl that i knew back in early highschool, and I think we really hit it off. All the people in the competetion were really good, but some of them were amazing. I don't know how they do it. I used to play the drums, for a a little while, and i couldn't imagine doing what some of these kids were doing. There was one kid who was like 12 years old, and he was great, he could play amazing for his age, and he really had the crowd going. The judges of the competition were all drummers in famous bands, for example one of them was the drummer for Black Sabboth. I haven't felt my ears ring like that for a long time. It was a good night, i think i'm going to see Eddie Money in april, for my friends 21st birthday.

I just got home from Psychology. Last week the professor was talking about how she couldn't give all of us our papers back, because she had to talk to us a boput plagerism. The entire time she was talking about this, her eyes kept finding me in the classroom, it was almost as if she was suggesting i was one of the people who plagerized. I came into class today ready to defend myself, if she said i was one of the people she was talking about. I worked very har on that paper. I was relieved to find out that reason she was looking at me, was probably because i scoored a one hundred on the essay. Thank Gog, i was not about to write that paper again. Well i have to get ready to go to work now, so i'm going to cut this blog a little short (only 1 minute).

This morning i was supposed to have my computer class, and i completely intended on a going to it. I was actually on my way, i wasn't even sure if class was still going on, because of the conditions. I got a bout half way there, and the roads were bad, but driveable. Than i got onto a road that was barely plwed, and i would have to drve down it a pretty considerable distance. I drive a Nissan 24o SX, it's a very small, very light, rear wheel drive sports car. It's horrible in the snow. As soon as i got onto this particular road, i began to have problems. It wasn't untill i fishtailed and ended up in the other lane, that decided to turn back. I was pretty sure classes were canceled anyway. I was kicking my self for not taking 2 minutes before i left the house to check. When i got home i looked online, and discovered classes were not canceled, which is unbelievable to me, sine the roads were so bad.

Drugs are baad...mm'kay?
2/21/08
10:00 pm
My room
I believe that everyone experiments with drugs at some point in their life. Reaching an altered state of mind is something that humans have been doing for a long time. But you can cross the line pretty easily and and then you can pay with far more than you wanted to. I know i sound like your mother right now, but beleive I'm no saint myself. I went to a friends house, someone who i ahdn't seen in a couple of months. I knew she was using a certain drug for a while, but i didn't realize how bad she got into it. She seems like a completely different person, almost like she was out of it completely. Even her boyfriend, another pretty good friend of mine, used this drug and i could tell it was eating away at him. It's a really sad thing, because this girl was the sweetest girl when i first met her in high school, we even dated for a while. But than she started getting into hard drugs, and we kind of went down seperate paths. I don't know what makes people decide to do serious drugs, that you KNOW are terrible for your body, and more importantly, your mind.

My room
The guy that i close with is a good guy. But i hate when there's fifteen minutes left until we close, a customer always comes in, and he engages them in long conversations. He knows what time, because he wants to get out of that place every night worse than i do. I don't know why he does it, theres times where he actually looks at the the clock, and with like 5 minutes left he'll ask them a question to start a new conversation.

Cigarettes
10:47 pm
2/19/08
My Room
Today is my eighth day without a cigarette, and i'm doing pretty well. The first three days were the hardest so far. I'm not really feeling the nicotine cravings anymore, it's just the actual habbit it of it. I don't know how cigarettes stay legal. It's proven that they will eventually kill you, and cause birth defects. You know this while you're smoking, and the power of the the nicotine overpowers your will to not smoke. It's a sick thing really, how people get get LOADED off of so many people dying. This isn't news to anyone though, it just amazes me that cigarettes are still around. Now that i haven't been smoking, i already feel better. I have more energy, and it's nice to not have to shape your routine around cigarettes. I actually hung out with some friends who smoke today, and i din't smoke my self. If i have the wilpower to do that, at this point in the process, i think my chances are pretty good. I just hope it lasts, because this isn't my first time quiting. I actually quit for about three weeks, about half a year ago. I don't know why i started again. Stupid...

Living Room
I was supposed to be at the deli today at eleven a.m. A much appreciated break from my usual eight a.m. Around 10:30 i got a call and they I wasn't going to argue with that. I decided to get a workout in before i went to work, so i did that for an hour, took a shower and went to work. I got there and found out that we were closing at four, for presidents day, since it was usually the slowest day of the year. Me and my boss were all ready to go and close right on time since there was litarally 5 customers all day. When we were about to walk out people started walking in. Our policy is if the door isn't locked we'll still serve you...stupid. Well people continued to come in for an hour and a half. It's not like they were getting anything worth while, or hard to make. Most were getting coffee, cigarettes, or salads. Finally at 5:30, we were again about to walk out when an old mand came in, with all the lights out and the floors mopped, and of course he asked, like an idiot "are you closed?" (this happens almost every night). We said yes, but we can get you something if it's quick. He said it is, and than proceeded to order 50 dollars worth of cold cuts. Damn Gremlins.

Today i worked a tht e deli for a few hours, and i got out early. I need to put new brake pads, so i had an irishman help me put them on. I know the guy from the deli, and also from my days of landscaping. He didn't charge me anything to put them on, so all i had to pay for was the pads. I saved hundreds of dollars, so i'm pretty happy about that. The other thing thats good about him putting the pads on, is that i watched him and now i know how to do it, so i won't ever have to have a mechanic do it for me. After i had that done i went to a friends house and chiiled for a while. Then i went home, and had some dinner. After dinner i watched The Kindom, which was a pretty good movie. I played some video games for a while, and here i am, about to go to bed.

Today was a pretty good day. I went to psych class and i had my exam. i think i did pretty well. There were some questions that i was unsure about, because i was unaware that the material was going to be one the test. After that, the professor let the class out early, so i went towork an hour earl. I also got to leave a three, which was great, exept when i found out that my break pads, were worn out, and i had to buy new ones. I'm going to put them on tomorrow. Once everthing was situated with the car, i went over to a friends house for a while. We went to the park that was around the corner and played some basketball. It was cold but it was nice to play basketball again, which is one of my favorite sports to play. When we were tired of playing out in the cold we went back to his house, and chilled out for a while. I left there around nine, and came home. I watched Saw III, which is a horrible movie, it's just really violent, but that's what seels this day which is pretty sad. I was about to call it a night, and of course i remembered i had to write this blog. So here i am trying to type anything of importance that comes to mind, so i know i got it done, and can rest a little easier. Unfortuneately, i've run out of things to say, so i'm ging to bed now.

Computer room
I have a psych test tommorow, and i just finish some last minute studying. I shouldn't say some, i was studying for three hours and i didn't even realize. When i stood up i could't see strait. For me the most effective method of studying is reading over the material, and than quizing myself on what i need to know. After i have done that i identify my weak points, and that i write and say outloud the facts i nedd to know over and over and over again untill i can't write anymore. It basically engraves the information into my mind. After about thirty seconds of writing the same thing, i find the rythem to the syllables. When i need the information later on, ithing and the "sentance comes out in that same rythem. All i know know is that i am confident that i will do well on the test, and i am mentally exausted. I think i'm going to go take a shower, and pass out.

Valentine's day
10:09
2/14/08
My room
It's Valentines day today, and just like everyday, i almost forgot to write my blog. Today was a busy day, but it could have been worse. Class was canceled this morning. I got to sleep a little bit more before going to the deli. All day today people were wishing me a happy Valentines day, and i was doing the same. Valentine's day is a funny holiday, seeing as it really isn't a holiday, it's a corporate holiday. For men it kinda sucks. Either your spending a small fortune on gifts for your sweethearts, or it's a depressing day, because you have no one to spend it with, that goes for women to though. Yes i am one of those poor SOBs who didn't have anyone to spend it with today. But i did give someone a valentine. This girl that works in the pizzaria a few stores down, that i have had my eye on for a little while. The only problem is that we have conflicting hours so she is never there when I'm at the deli. Today was my lucky day though because she was there. At first i was going to give her one of the heart shaped cookies that we sell, but of course we sold out of them, so i had to settle for a box of heart cupcakes. I brought them over to her, wished her a happy Valentine's day, and slipped her my number. Hopefullt she calls. I haven't been on a date in a while, i've just been to busy lately for any form of a social life. I guess i'll just have to wait and see what happens.

can't find anything
9:20 pm
2/13/08
Computer Room
We were assigned to find a couple of pictures that were weird, or showed something paranormal. I looked through almost every picure in the house and i couldn't find anything. So after i write this i have to go online and find some, it's going to be hard to find a picture that wasn't photo-shopped. Although i didn't find anything in the family collection of photos, it was nice to look at them. It brought back some nice memories, and some not so nice. It's funny, you don't realize how much you've grown untill you see your self from years ago, and you remember what you were like, or what phase you were going through. It's almost like reading entries from old journals, and you wonder, what was i thinking? It's even more weird to wonder if you will feel the same way about yourself today in a few years. Probobly will. Life is an amazing thing that to many people take for granted. A lot of people say that life is so hard, but that's what makes it beautiful. When there is a moment in your life that you experience true joy, it stands out from all the hardship, and that makes a good memory.

We were assigned to find a couple of pictures that were weird, or showed something paranormal. I looked through almost every picure in the house and i couldn't find anything. So after i write this i have to go online and find some, it's going to be hard to find a picture that wasn't photo-shopped. Although i didn't find anything in the family collection of photos, it was nice to look at them. It brought back some nice memories, and some not so nice.

Just like 5 minutes ago my cousin called me, and offered me a job. He works in concrete, and installing countertops. To tell you the truth it would be nice to leave the deli, because the place drives me nuts. And it's not like i'm a stranger to hard labor. I just can't screw my boss over like that. This is the second time i worked there, and he didn't have to give me my job back. The money with my cousin is probobly better, and i do like to be outside when it's nice, but the hours wouldn't work with school. I'm definately not about to drop out of college. I feel bad, though, because i really never talk to my cousin, and he was trying to help me out, i don't think he knows that i am going to school. The deli is a good job, as much as it drives me nuts, it's the best job i've had yet. By the time i finish my assosiates, i'll probobly be closing the deli by myself, and getting 13 to 15 dollars an hour, which is damn good for someone going to school. After i finish at sccc, i want to get EMT certified, and do that while i go to another school. That way I'll be making an actual salary, and have benefits. I think i would enjoy that to, all the action, of being an EMT i mean. I don't know we'll have to see what happens.

gettin old

My room
This is gettin old...everytime i go to bed and i finish reading, i remember i have to write this blog. I don't know why it is that i remember right before i am going to sleep. It's like my subconcious is trying to send me one last message. I also just remembered that i was supposed to study tonite. I didn't realize how forgetful i am. The test isn't untill saturday, but i want to be very well prepared. In highschool, i almost never studied, and i must say in most subjects i did pretty well, but that's not good enough now. The way i think about school now, is a job. I take pride in my work. If i want to make something of myself, than i have to do it now. Althogh i can absorb a lot of information while sitting in class, and listening, i do need to study, because i want A's, and nothing else. Well, i hate to not show effort, but it's been 10 minutes, i'm tired, and i have to get up at 5:30 for class, so i'm cutting this blog short.

I got off of work early today, which was nice, seeing as I really didn't want to be there. I went home, and it was only areound twelve o'clock, s i worked out for a while, had a nice lunch, and went to my friends house. When i arrived he told me we were gonna go for a ride with this girl from around the corner. She had to take care of something out in Port Jeff. Well, this was my first time in a car, with her behind the wheel, and most definately my last. At first it wasn't sooo bad, but than we hit 347. As soon as the light turned green, she sqealed away like a bat out of hell. She was flying, clocking at about 85-95 mph, in the short and decreasing amount of open road remaining. We were approaching traffic ahead of us, and silly me, i expected her to slow down. At around 50 feet away from the first car she slowed about 5-10 mph, and in the best way that i can describe, she seemed to slip inbetween 3 cars in two different lanes. Now keep in mind she is still going about 20 mph faster than everyone else on the road. At this point i'm having a good time, a little buzz od adrenaline i guess. I thought she was dodne, but than she decided it would be smart to drive literally inches from the car in front of us, and than cut off the car next to us, avoiding them by about 2 ft. By this point me and my Friend are telling her to slow down. Than she jsut started to screw with us. She takes her hands off the wheel, and pulls a peice of yarn out of her pocket. She asks if we want to play cats cradle. My friend is pleading her to put her hands back on the wheel, but she says "don't worry, i've got wheel with my knee." Now i have to admit i do sometimes drive with my knee, but never when i am going 75 mph (she had to slow down a bit due to increased congestion of traffic. Finally i told her that if she didn't slow down, i was getting out of the car at the next red light, my friend agreed. Finally she got the led out of her foot, and she let off the gas. The rest of the ride wasn't to bad, but i'll tell you one thing, i thanked my lucky stars when i eventually stepped out of the vehicle.

My room
Tommorow i start the work week. Not just any work week either, this week won't end for twelve days. I will be working everyday, because my boss got hurt, and the deli is short staffed. I don't even want to talk about it. I was actually about to go to sleep, and i remembered that i had to write my blog. Please forgive me, i missed a couple of days in the past, i am just so busy. I know it's not an excuse, but sometimes when i get home from work it just slips my mind. Today i had psychology, which is a good class. Right in the middle, there was a fire drill. I wouldn't have really minded, but it was freezing out. After class, i had a really lazy day, to prepare myself for the upcoming week. I slept for a good couple of hours, and than just watched T.V., and played video games. I have to say today was a good day. I don't really mind work, because i love to make money, it's actually one of my favorite things to do. I just don't want tall the hours to hurt my school work. That's the reason i'm going to school in the first place, so i don't have to work at a deli for the rest of my life. Baby steps, I gotta take one day at a time.

Computer room
I've been working on an essay for psychology all day, and i just finished. It's due tomorrow and i'm just happy that i'm done. I usually never leave things to thhe last minute, but i ahve had no time for anything recently. As i mentioned before my boss got hurt so i've been putting in a lot of hurs at the deli. Next week i am wrking like 60 some odd hours, and going to class. I bet you i am going to hate that place after next week. I am already tired of it. It is so hard to do the same exact thing every day, for the same people at the same times, and not go crazy. I hate to complain so much, but i am used to having a decent social life, and between going to school and work, there has been no room for one. Luckily i had the day off today, but like i said i spent it writing an essay. I should have done a little bit every night when i got off work. That's easy to say know, because after working 10-12 hours at that place, the last thing i wanted to do was homework. I'm going to have to get used to it though, becase the semester just started, and i'm sure ther is lot's of homework to come. Well I'm done with this, I'm gonna go out and chill with my friends for a little bit.

my room
The other day, my boss, who is about sixtey years old, left the deli to get some veggies. The phone rand about a half an hour later, it was a customer and they said they were at wladbaums, and he had slipped and fallen in one of the aisles. They had to call an ambulance, because he said he blacked out, his legs were numb, and he had a concussion. He was admitted into the hospital today, finally, after over twenty four hours of being in the emergency room. I think he plans on sueing the store, because he claims to have slipped on a wet floor, and the store looked like a bomb went off. I don't blame him either, he's always talking about how he could never retire, because businsess was to bad, now he may have a chance to. It's funny all the customers that have been coming in for the last couple of days have been joking around saying they are going to have to rename Waldbaums "Weinisch's" (Thats my boss's last name, and the name of the deli). It's really not that unrealistic, because i think i judge would sybothize with a man his age who sustained those kind of injuries, simply because of someone else's carelessness. I don't know we'll have to see what happens. I'll keep you posted, haha like anyone cares, i just have nothing better to write about.

Defeat

Computer Room
Well The Patriots lost. The Giants played a great game, and they wore Tom Brady down. I wouldn't have minded that much, it's just a football game, but i lost a good amount of money because of them. When i came into the deli this morning, a little hungover, there were articlas all over the deli, telling of the Giants victory, just to rub it in my face. A lot of customers came in and said to me "how 'bout them Patriots?". So it was a long day of poor sportsmanship, but not on my part. All I know is that i am not the only person who is still upset about the loss. The Pats were going to have a completely perfecct season, 19-0, and that would have put them in the books as the best NFL team to ever play. It's okay though 18-1 is nothing to complain about, only one other team every accomplished that, and that was the Dolphins. I had a good time watchng the game, even though my team lost. My friend has a monster of a television, and it's also HD, so i watched football as i never have before. There was plenty of food and drinks, so it was one hell of a superbowl party. As you probobaly assumed, I was the only Patriots fan there, so that also made for lot's of bets, and interesting conversation.

GOOO PATRIOTS!!!
Well it's Superbowl SUnday, and i just got off work. It was an intersesting day, considering i worked all day with a Patriot's jersey on. I didn't realize how much new yorkers hated the Patriots. At first i was just getting some dirty looks, and that wasn't to bad, but than things started getting a little hairy. When i asked one guy what i could get for him, he said "nothing with that shirt on!" At first i thought he was joking, and i laughed a little bit, but the expression on his face didn't change "I'm not joking, I don't want you to wait on me", i guess he was supersticious. As one man was leaving the store, i wished him a good day. He stopped in his tracks, turned to me, and ststed that "I should be shot for wearing that jersey", that was unesessary. There were little things here and there that were uncalled for, like people telling me i would be lucky to make it home alive. Oh well it's all in good fun, right?
I'm going over to a friends house in a little bit, to watch the game drink a few "beverages" and eat like a pig. Hopefully the Pats pull another one off, i have a good amount of money riding on this game, and i really don't want to lose it. It's gonna be a great game, and whoever wins it isn't gonna win it easily...GO PATRIOTS!!!

Intro to computing class
I'm sitting in class right now, and the professor has been lecturing for an hour and a half now. You're probably asking what he could talk about for that long, distribution, and the history, of computers. All i want right now is a cigarrette, i am falling asleep right now. You're thinking right now, well you should be paying attention, but everything he says goes in one ear and right out the other. So i might as well get my blog done, right? When i get home, i plan on doing the essay, so if i can get this done right now, it would help a lot. I wonder when we are going to get a break, because i am litaraly about to fall asleep, my eyes are tearing, i'm so bored. The only thing keeping me awake is writing this blog. I have to give the Professor credit though, he's been talking for this long without looking at any notes, or pausing, and to him this stuff seems pretty interesting. Okay he just told us we could take a break, so I'm out.
