Tales of a Workin' Man...

So, today was my first day of my new job at Target. Overall, I think it well. Got myself all settled. I got a little confused on the break schedule since most of the new people were there at 4am and I didn't have to come in til 6am. But, we figured it out for tomorrow...
Basically, we just pull out all the merch that sold yesterday first...that gets priority...then after that, we put everything away in their appropriate area...it's all pretty straightforward.
Later in the day, we had to put away some stuff that is to be sent back to the manufacturer, but we put it in a weird place, so tomorrow, I gotta fix it...that oughta be fun...
I think I'll probably enjoy the job...everyone seems pretty nice, even after my relatively minor screw up...we'll see how the rest of training goes...

I did start getting a headache about 11-ish and I forgot my medicine...I think I just need to carry a little water bottle with me or something...

That's about it...it's not exactly brain surgery...I think I'll get the hang of it before training is done...

In other news, I saw a cool idea I wanna do...drawing pictures on long box lids...for those who aren't geeks such as myself, a long box is the big, long, white box that geeks store their comic books in...I think I'm gonna draw cool characters on top of mine and perhaps see if other geeks want the same thing...I think it'd be cool...

That's it for today, my darlings...

Check in for next time...

Rainy Day Fun With Republicans...

So, yesterday, Rose and I went to Key Arena for this business motivation seminar thing...which actually was more like a religious, republican, sales gathering. There were some pretty cool speakers...Terry Bradshaw, Colin Powell, Suze Orman, Rudy Guiliani...they had some cool things to say...of course, Guiliani had to bust out with the anti-left rhetoric as Republicans tend to do...oh, and someone heckled Colin Powell...
Suze Orman had some good financial advice...and she didn't even try to sell me anything...there were a couple of guys there who were hocking financial seminars after a big fundamental demonstration of what you really need to get started...which I may use.
The seminars, of course, were on sale...they were like a 500% discount...that's an exaggeration, of course...I didn't bother to do the math...it was quite a price cut though...One seminar was marked down from $5,000 to $99...and the other was about $1,500 down to $49...and the suckers poured from the stands...
Oh, and they spouted Jesus and how much they love America and the military...because, as you know, Democrats don't love America or the military because they want to change things...
Anyway, I think that's enough of the rant...I didn't hate it or anything...it was quite entertaining and I got some good info...

Rose and I cut out early because I think they were about to sell us something else...so we went to the Fun Forest and rode the roller coaster in the rain...that was exhilarating and frightening all at the same time...
Then, we were gonna go see the X-Files at a theater downtown, but I got confused about which theater to go to, so we just headed home...

Traffic was friggin' horrid...I don't think I've ever seen it that bad...

In other news, tomorrow is my first day of training for my new Target job...I'm looking forward to it, but also nervous as hell...I hope it doesn't suck and that I don't let myself down...

I'm working on some stuff to start my new art blog...so, keep an eye out for that...

I guess that's it for now...

So, until Dr. Doom sells face cream door-to-door, Make Mine Marvel!

W-O-R-D Up!

Hello, my sweet ones...

It's been a long-o while since I last posted...I can only attribute that to part busyness and part just being a lazy sod.

Quite a bit has happened since last we saw each other...I've been doing school stuff...that's going not too shabbily...and the big news...

I GOT A JOB!

That's right...I have acquired employment with the Target corporation. I'm a day stocker...a very early day stocker. My day will begin at 4am and conclude around noon. I had my orientation on Thursday and I start my training on Wednesday bright and early 6am in Federal Way...I was kinda hoping they'd give me Bonney Lake since that one's only about 5 minutes from my house.
So, yes, I'll be a workin' man...I'll be able to get some bills paid, save up to move out, buy comics regularly again, buy DVD's and keep up on my Star Wars figures.
Speaking of which, I think I may start a Star Wars figure blog just for shits and giggles...I know, I have trouble keeping up on my regular ones, how am I gonna handle 3 or 4? Very carefully, that's how.

I'm gonna start doing my art blog and then I'll work on the action figure blog a little bit later. I'll keep ya posted...

I saw The Clone Wars the other day. All in all, I liked it. Granted, it was geared more towards kids, but that doesn't bother me as it does some other asshat fanboys who seem to have taken it as a personal affront to them that Lucas would have the audacity to make a cartoon for kids...imagine that.
Some of it kinda bugged me a bit, but not enough to take away from the enjoyment of it. That's just a little extreme...
Anyway, I won't rant about Star Wars here...that shall be for another more deserving time...I'm always open to a discussion though if anyone wants to email me...

Anyway, that's about it for now...I shall keep you posted on how it goes with the new job, my countless blogs and any other developments that should happen to cross my path...

Until we meet again....
