(by "everyone" I mean noone")
Work, we all do it...wait...no we don't...I happen to know AT LEAST 2 people who don't work at all. One of which I have used and abused over the last couple weeks. Granted, I have paid for every meal, drink, treat, bag of beef jerky, concert ticket, and movie ticket during this period I have used him nevertheless. I figure, if he has no job, I should make him work right?
Anyway, I'm just gonna create a new paragraph to separate my train of thought from the caboose of a subject that is Todd...I mean...the aformentioned individual. My real topic is WORK. As many of you know...I have been doing a shit-ass-big cockhole-motherload of a hell of a lot of it lately. Many days are topping off between 12-17 hours. Many of you are either actively trying to convince me to drop the lesser of the 2 jobs, or at the very least wondering when I will quit said job. I'm gonna highlight my thoughts on the matter.
Is it alot of work? Yes. Is it taking it's toll on me, both physically and mentally? Yes. Do I enjoy working 2 jobs? No. Will I continue to do so regardless of how I feel about it? Yes. The fact is, I still need the money...and I CAN still gut it out and work both jobs. As crappy and annoying as the PetCo situation has gotten, what with the new management/old crapagement, and the recent hiring of multiple new employees. I'll continue to work there until I either can't physically do it anymore or until it becomes so annoying that it is no longer worth devoting my energy to do so. Let's be honest, that place would be hopeless without someone with shipment night experience and the straight physical abilty to facilitate the necessary tasks AND heavy lifting that those nights entail. Otherwise Robert would have to do the whole thing himself. Nice guy that I am, I don't want to force that situation on anyone. While, it is not as it once was...there is still that small degree of social interaction on those nights. We have it pretty much down to a science, and we can afford to get a tad ridiculous at times. It is rather odd that there is a new face there every week, and yet I've only SEEN the manager like 3 times. I've never spoken to her at legnth, and she works very few hours. There are some newer employees that have been promoted to "team lead" or "lead sales associate" or some crap, and I'm just waiting for the day they tell me to do someting and I refuse. The way I see it, my duties there have dwindled down to simply working the shipments. I don't even wear my petco shirt anymore, because I only work after-hours.

Now, for lighter topics...
Sun. August 13th is Locobazooka. I suggest purchasing tickets for the event. Bands include: Ra, Days of The New, Buckcherry, Wicked Wisdom (Jada Pinkett-Smith's rock band...), and finally ALICE IN CHAINS! They will be accompanied by a plethora of local and unsigned bands. We went last year and it was a good time and a good show. I'm not going to rant about fucking BOLTON, MA...the shittiest crap-town that ever shitted crap. Fuckers.
*grumbles*
There will be some good music, probably some food/drink, and one can hope...boobs. So, get your tickets and we cal all go as a big group. So far there are 8 of us going. Go to ticketmaster.com or locobazooka.com for more info. So that's that, take it for what it's worth...jerks.
P.S. FUCK BOLTON!
