My 7000th day and a new job

so on that new website that thad has shown us i officially turned 7000 day old on may 8th while that was pretty cool i really didn't celebrate it and nothing really happened on that day too.


As for my new job i now officially work for Buy Low Market, which is located in the old spot of reams, which used to be the old food 4 less store, which was probably something else before that. from what i have gathered from working there for about a week now, the store gets merchandise from the other stores which are located in the LA area, but we also get shipment in from associated food stores which pretty much as a monopoly on the grocery market in this state. to give you a reference every time that you see a western family logo in a store that means that the entire store has it's shipping from Associated Foods the same thing works with Smiths, Albersons, and Walmart. they all receive there shipments from a different group. but anyways enough about how these stores work,

my job. first i was hired as a checker, which i then spent four days learning how to be a checker and then they took me out of there and then sent me back into the dairy where I originally worked at Days Market for 20 some odd months, which i don't really mind but it was these last few days that i have seen how poor of management they have in the back and how lazy these guys are, the dairy manager there is 19, just as old as I am, and by his words he claims that he has an unchartable reading skill, but he is a high school drop out with a GED and again his own words that high school was to easy. now he's is learning how to play about 4 different instruments, and knows a rock group which sound just like Tool, and they are going to some college to learn more about music, and everyone in this group knows 8 other instruments and also is "fluent" in writing in each of the instruments and is very good at all of them.

so back to the Dairy which is about twice as big as the one at days, but when i first went in there there were 5 pallets of stuff that could be unloaded but the manager didn't do it so i did that by myself which i was starting to get mad. then the freight which is supposed to come in during the morning didn't show up until 6pm so he was already gone and i threw the freight myself which i haven't done in a long time which i should have gotten some help with, so i was pissed by that time and then i realized that the milk was empty so i would then have to fill the milk. and then in the process of filling the milk some costumers wanted some eggs, so i had to drop filling the milk and then fill the Eggs, which i put out about 15 boxes, of 15 cartons per box out, again without any help. by this time it was time to leave which I was glad to do and they are probably going to do the same thing to me tonight, so right now I'm not a happy camper and I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK.

now for the other personal in this store they mostly seem to be either single mothers, or ex-construction workers who all seem to be anti-Mormon or who just don't care if they are Mormon. so that's my venting for this month.

Moving Back

seeing as how most of the people who read this blog have seen me in the last 24 hours i might as well tell everyone else that i have officially moved back home, and out of Butterknife Estates. so right now i'm just looking for a job and also getting ready for a mission, so that's where i'm at in life. just to let everyone know.

Sickness

so far in my college career I have had the great privilege not to get sick during school or anytime. well that came to a stop this day, or it could just be my psychology class seeing how were learning about disorders. so it could either be a psychological disorder known as somatizaism which means from my text book, A somatization disorder is marked by a history of diverse physical complaints that appear to be psychological in origin. or it could be all of the stress that I'm feeling near the end of the school manifesting itself through the sick role where I get attention by pretending to be sick.
so while I don't know for sure I'm going to blame it on a cold instead of any of the other possibilities.

but luckily it's not as bad as my last sickness blog.

Mother Natures April Fools Joke

so I think Mother Nature was pretty cleaver this year and this was her joke

so what did we do with all of this?

well it was harrison who did this

March comes in like a lion and... out like a lion?

So like Robyn has blogged about multiple times already it seems that once a week we have a nice good day and then the next day it seems to dump snow on everyone. Well last night was no exception, as Thad, Harrison, and I left for Logan last night at about 8:30 the sky didn't look to dark and dreadful.

So we headed out, and as we went our way up I noticed that there seemed to be some snow falling at about the capitol in salt lake. Once we were there we hit just a little bit of snow, and then continued on and then we got hit again about Kaysville or Ogden, which conditions turned into just about white out, and with these conditions we also saw a more then a few slide offs, which then sent me into an almost state of panic.

Then the snow started to clear up a bit more and then we decided to go up through sardine canyon... that might have been a big mistake. so we started up the canyon we saw a sign that said 4 wheel drive or chains required, now for us we were in a two wheel drive vehicle with no chains... so what do we do we head up anyways.

The first part wasn't to bad but as soon as we hit mantua again we were hit with white out conditions, and this continued for the entire length of the canyon. It was so bad we could only tell where we were supposed to be only because of the road markers on the side...(nowI know why there there) so this continued I would say for about a half hour until we came out of the canyon when low and behold no snow.... GRRRR.... well the moral of the story is: when it snows, stay indoors.

A Texas update

well for the last couple of days i have had the privalage to stay at jan and ben's house and they have allowed me to take a couple of pictures with these kids and the adventures we have had over the last couple of days. so here are some of the photos.

Clark wants to be a grown up too.

But he doesn't understand the concept of knocking first


One of the many tantrums he has thrown while i've been here

these have just been a few of the adventures that we have had here and there will be many more to come.

first date of my college career

so while I wasn't able to come down to dad's birthday party instead I went on a date, and I think that dad would have approved. So i think I'll clarify what actually happened seeing how Thad may have messed up some details.

so first of all it was a blind date with a girl named Maddie, and it was set up by a friend Courtney who is in two of my classes, it was not set up by Richard Wilson. So to start we went to firehouse which is kind of like going to pier 49 but it's more of a restaurant. here we had a delicious meal were i was happy and full, after this we then went to skating rink, (Note there were three couples) so we skated for probably about a hour and half to about two hours. after that we then decided to go and watch a movie and eat ice cream. and the movie which we watched was big fish, and that was the date that i went on. nothing much but it was still fun to meet new people.
