| So anyway...I'm away at bible school with no net access, and I don't think anybody actually checks this out anyway... | | |
| Vault = Surge!If you have known me long enough, you will know that I used to be addicted to Surge. It was my all time favorite soda.
Mountain Dew was a rather poor substitute, but I had to get my caffeine somehow.
On Friday, I had my first Vault. As I opened it, and took a sip, I was taken back in time. The taste was very familiar to me. I chugged it down avidly. And then, with a tear in my eye, it dawned on me.
Vault is the reincarnated Surge.
I'm not alone in my wonderings: many many many other Surge fans are saying the same thing.
So I will toast Coca-Cola and raise a glass of Vault in their honor.
My days of chugging Mountain Dew are over- unless Vault disappears. | | |
| I got a job! I'm working 5:30 to 9:30 on Thursday and Saturday evenings, this week. Starting next week I will be full time.

| The World's Craziest Interview/ApplicationOkay. I just came back from what had to be the world's most crazy job
application. It was for a receptionist position at a chiropractic
clinic. Job listing said
RECEPTIONIST. Chiro
ofc. Mature. good with
animals & people. Will
train. (XXX) XXX-XXXX
(X's represent phone number). So I called the phone
number and they wanted me 9-7 four days a week. I thought I could do
this, so I go in at 5:00 to fill out the application.
I went in there expecting to see an office dog or maybe a cat, and was
stunned to hear a squawk of "Hello." I turned my head and looked toward
the desk and there was a parrot there looking as if he owned the desk.
I walked over and asked for the application, and the parrot jumped on
my arm and rubbed it beak over it. So I obligingly scratched the
feathers around its neck and it made some cute gurgling sounds.
So I finally pick op the application, and am led into a room to fill it out.
It had the standard things, plus some extra stuff. It asked for height
and weight, because the lady obviously wanted someone who looked to be
the very picture of health in front of her office. It asked for you
BMI, without telling you how to calculate it, and then bluntly said
"People with BMI's over 32 will be rejected. Don't give me this big
bones crap."
Then it had questions about what your family aspirations are. That was okay by me.
Then it had some complex calculations. You were told to stop, get
someone to time you, and you were to perform all these calculations in
fifteen minutes WITHOUT a calculator. Okay, so then get to put in your
job history and references. Fine. Whew. I'm done.
So I return the application to the front desk, where I notice the
crystals everywhere in that room. I am then handed two additional
sheets of calculations, more complex than before, and given 30 minutes
to complete this, plus a business letter and some word games:
COUCH is to 14769 as CONCH is to ______________.
My response was 'What the heck?'
I then returned the paper to the front desk. They hand me four more
sheets of paper. I shook my head and said "I quit. It's gonna take me 2
hours to get here on the bus and two hours back. It's just not worth
it."
Then I see a glimpse of the chiropractor. She was wearing a skin-tight
spandex tank top, 80s style leggings, and rock climbing shoes. Her
waist could not have been 20 inches around. She looked at me and said
"You're not thin enough for the position."
I scratched the parrot's neck feathers one last time and fled the clinic.

| It's been waaaay too long since I gave you an update.
Sent Tom to Quebec for about six weeks at the bible school I attended. He's doing well there and I'm glad for that. Otherwise
I still miss him a lot and really want to be with him right now but
that isn't quite possible at the moment... I wonder when or if it will
be.
Kinda had a REALLY rough week last week: fortunately Mikey
came to hang with me for a day... even though I skipped classes to do
so... I needed it.
My computer got fried when two subsequent
surges came through our house. Then my flash drive which I had backed
up my homework on went out, and I lost my entire week's worth of
homework. Ouch. It's due tomorrow.
Other than this... nothing really new other than I don't blog much anywhere, even on Myspace anymore. I got onto Christian Forums
(if you join please list Revenwyn as your reference please) last month
and now have over 2000 posts there. LOL. But yeah, life isn't exactly a
bowl of cherries here.
