Hey everyone.
Well, first of all, check this out! I have a blogger on my site - which means it's like a small message board and stuff....ooooo nifty!
So anyway, last Saturday, my older (but not oldest) brother Brad came home and said he wanted to go do something with me. Little bit of a surprise there, I mean, not that we never want to do anything with each other, but we're usually both busy (I'm usually working dumb shifts at meijer...which that situation got better, just keep reading), or he's doing stuff with Kathy (his fiance) and her family. So why in the heck did he want to do something with just me? I get to Kathy's house, right around the same time they did and we go and pick up Brad's like friend since like 1st grade, Josh Ivey and we go have dinner at Detroit Beach Pizzeria. Mid-dinner, Brad makes mention of the wedding and then asks Josh and I if we would be his Best Men at his wedding. !!!!!!! Color me excited. The sad thing about it is that it made me realize we're all growing up. I mean, my brother is getting married. That's a big step in life!
...As for Meijer...yeah, about me putting in my two-weeks notice there! HELL YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! To quote Martin Luther King Jr. "Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, I'm Free at last!" I have never hated a job as much as the one that I worked at Meijer Gas. It's degrading. But insert the new job: Proof Operator at Monroe Bank & Trust! Disadvantage: The job is through Manpower.
Advantage: MB&T said that Manpower has a 90-day contract with MB&T and after the 90 days, MB&T usually hire on the Manpower employee!!! Starting pay is $8.00 and as long as I maintain a "C" average, I get my tuition PAID FOR!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! I LOVE MB&T!!!!!!!!!
Oh - Heather picked me up Season 4 of Buffy!!! I'm a nerd...but hey, at least I'm not addicted to...something worse than Buffy.
And I did a good deed! On the corner of my road, Reinhardt and Stewart there was a car completly dead, and usually when driving by that kind of a scene I just think, "well, do I offer and drive off, keep driving, or not offer and help." And out of nowhere - like I just pulled my car off to the side without thinking and helped these two men out. Now, not to sound like I'm better, but these men were poorly dressed and after the stench that was left in my car worked very had for whatever money they could have, more power to them. I helped push their car to the side of the road and then offered them a ride down the street to where another car was. They offered me money but I flat out rejected it. I've talked to Brad, Kathy and Hayford and they all seem to think that it was the Will of God working through me. And I think so too. Because I'm the kind of person that would never do that. You never know who's packing any sort of weapon on themselves now. But then again - they took a chance riding with me, I could've floored it into a tree, or an approaching vehicle. Weird...but noble and good feeling.
Okay - that about wraps up this blog (for the month) ;) Check back and feedback!
