Ok Ok Ok its been what nearly three years since I put up any news. Well nothing really has happened of note. I got a seasonal job at Target in late 2003 the day that ended they called me from Office Depot asking if I was still interested. I got the job there having put out no applications. I had been doing that until recent. We've changed managment a few times and the guy they got now shouldn't be managging an ant farm. He's a total dick with no people skills. He tells you to leave and that he's better off without you and then when you turn in your notice he starts making excuses about how its all someone else's fault and its all a big misunderstanding. Well I'm better off without him. I had a helluva lot of vacation time accumulated and am living off that until I get another job. I enjoy the free time but bills are coming up soon. We'll see how it works out. This is the only time a fortune cookie has steered me down a difficult path, they seem to be pretty accurate most of the time, for me anyway. The one I was going from said "A new work opportunity will avail itself to you." Shortly after getting that the managaer was like if you wanna be one of the six people to leave you can go right now, thats about the nicest he had been to me since he got there. He said other stuff too but I'll just get angry if I repeat it and he's no longer part of my life. One of the last few days I was there the manager of a steakhouse came in and I helped him, I never let him know i was leaving and he seemed very impressed with my service and all I said to him was to make sure and take the survey on the receipt. He put some really really great comments on it about me and if the customer wants they get emailed to the store so we can read them, which of course he wanted us to. It was full of great stuff but one thing in particular I remember is that he said "He's an asset to your company." I made sure my manager read the thing and that dick said he bet I paid him to write all that, either that or that I told him I was leaving and he felt sorry for me. In short that guy has issues. I seriously think he needs to take benefit of the company paid counseling. The very first thing he did when he got there was tell us we didn't deserve our raises (alot of us had just passed our review period) but that he couldn't keep from giving them to us. Seriously Dick, get a life. Dick isn't his name, but it should be. I changed his name to protect the guilty.

As it turns out we did move, quite sometime ago in fact. I know I don't update alot but now i have, but not entirely. I still need to put up the new pictures soon. I'll let you know when do that.

The new high school I'm going to is Cordova High School. I like it here because we have an anime club and i can actualy go to the college club nearby. Chrismas is tommorow and I know that I'm getting Dragon Half and Record of Lodoss War DVD collections. I still don't have a job but wouldn't need one except for money. Darn lack of money gets you everytime. Luckily I'm still under 18 and my parents must provide. Muahahahaha. However if you are under 18 and have a Driver's License don't move to TN. They'll give you a restricted intermediate no matter how close to 18 you are. that means you can't have more than one person in your car other than yourself and that you can't drive between 11pm and 6am. If you live before you are 16 it not as bad but when you have a liscense and get it stripped and are given this p.o.s. it pisses you off. What really sucks though is that they just made that law. If we had moved at the beginning of the summer i could have a class D license. Thats the whole thing, no restrictions, that adults get. I'm going to try to write the congressman or whoever I need to but I doubt that if it does change it will affect me at all.

I don't know what it is about updating but I sure don't know how to do it. Anyway, school starts monday and I'm ready but I don't know how long it will last. We are probably going to be moving to Tennessee in September. Which means just about anything I do this year will be worthless. One of my dogs died this summer so I updated my about me page. She was old and it was her time but my parents sped it up with what they call a "home remedy". I wasn't home when they did it so I don't know what that means exactly.

Anyway we won't even know if we really are moving until monday. If we are we will be moving to the Memphis area. This sucks. I want a job but don't want to get one if we are going to be moving in a month anyway. I also want a car but can't get that till I get a job. On a lighter note my brother is moving out into an apartment to stay here, so I won't even ever have to see him again. *YEAH!!!! :D*

Yes, I am up this late. I usually am up. I don't know why my schedule flips upside downn during the summer but oh well. I have totally redesigned my web page but am not done. I will continue to make changes to it; some you may notice some you may not. But since I am only at 100 page views since I started the counter I don't expect too many people to notice much of anything around here.

My birthday was Monday which makes me a total of 17 years and 5 days as of 12:12am a little earlier. The bad part about turning 17 is licenses. Not only do you need to get your driver's license renewed but you need a fishing license if you want to go fishing in Texas.
