Ever have one of these days? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. I don't usually like writing personal posts, but yesterday was one of those days.
Okay readers, here is the deal. On November 19th, I plan to quit my current job at Mattress Warehouse. What I ask now is for you all to give me some creative ideas of doing so. I worked there for a little under a year, so I want to go out with a bang. Keep in mind that I'm over 18, so I want to avoid any criminal charges. Here are some ideas I thought up:
1. When the manager asks me to load a mattress, I tersely say, "no, I quit." Then I walk out the door without another word.
2. When a new floor sample shipment comes in, I will proceed to get all of the old mattresses out of the showroom. Then, I will announce my resignation and leave the store without helping put the new beds out.
3. This one can branch in two directions. I go up to the manager and ask him for a raise...
- Yes: I say, "great, get the paperwork ready. Actually, no scratch that. I quit."
- No: "I'm sorry to hear that. On a related matter, might I mention my resignation."
These are just a few ideas. I hope to have some more suggestions.
Well, Election Day has passed. Democrats are now the majority in the House of Representatives, while the Republicans remain in the Senate. Whoop-de-doo. I like the way news companies make it sound like a war. The BBC calls my current state, Virginia, a "key battleground." Now lawyers are dropping out of the sky to represent you, the voter. (Sadly, most of them were wearing parachutes.) They are saying that "a recount is likely." That's just lovely, isn't it? Meanwhile in my old stomping ground, Maryland, nothing has changed except that there's a new gov'na. I hate to think how much of their tax dollars go into changing the "Welcome to Maryland" signs on highways to show the current governor. Meanwhile in Wyoming (the state with a whopping one congressional district), none of the incumbents have been switched out. It has literally remained the same. I think all twenty-nine current Wyoming citizens are about to demand a recount. Anyway, on the whole, I am just greatful that this marks the end of those irritating political commercials on the TV and radio.
I pissed a classmate off the other day. It was in my Western Civ class. We just got our second exam back. This was one of those major exams. The second of three. The girl near me was saying to a friend that she studied for an entire week, but she still only garnered a low C. So, she turned to me and asked what I got. I wasn't trying to brag, but I did ace it. So she asked me how long I studied. I did not study. She asked me how often I read through the book. I hardly even pick it up. She asked me if I used the study guide. I used it for doodling. She asked me how I can do that. I did not have an answer. As of right now, I plan to cite this inexplicable knowledge as proof of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I have been touched by his noodly appendage. RAmen.
I tell ya, people down here in Virginia have no cold-tolerance whatsoever. People are switching over to thick jackets and beanies, while I only started long-sleeved shirts yesterday. Even people who could be mistaken for beached whales are bundled up so much that they're attracting their own satellites. I wonder how Virginians will dress on a snowy day. Are they going to strap a fusion generator on their back to keep warm? I just don't get it. Well, to each his own.

I was browsing the internet in class one day (I don’t pay
much attention), when my “surfing” brought me to the official Democratic Party
web page. I was putzing around until I came across the “people” subcategory.
Take a look:

I see a very striking problem in this list. Specifically,
there is no category for the white, middle-class, male American. I know I am
categorized under “young people and students,” but I don’t plan to be that way
forever. I plan to become a middle-class citizen, or, if I’m lucky, an
upper-class citizen (yeah, right). Does this mean that the Democratic Party
does not represent me? The so-called “Chairman” sure looks like a white,
middle-class, male American (I should confirm that). Does that mean that only some white, middle-class, male Americans
are represented? How can I confirm if the people represented by this party
include me? I should “contact” them about this pressing issue.
Well, I suppose it's time to bring this grand experiment to an end. I tried to go on hiatus so I could finish some video games. I realized after a few days, however, that I kind of missed posting here. Something about making humor out of practically nothing at all was kind of fun. Even if I have a small readership, I am content with making friends laugh even just a little bit. I have no intentions of becoming a professional writer, but I think people should have a hobby they enjoy.
