Ran over part of my foot with the forklift today. I was lucky because only part of it got stuck under the forklift, and I was able to allow the emergency stop to take place and push it forward. Didn't lose my foot due to the awesome steel toe boots that I have, but my foot is going to be sore for a few days.

Went to school, took a test, probs failed, went swimming, went to a swim meet, slept, got on MB.

Finished work today for the holidays and I'll go back in the new year to finish my internship. I've certainly learned a lot over these last couple of weeks. I am still waiting to get my money back from the ******* that got credit cards under my name and went crazy at a supermarket.

I used to drive a forklift in the Army. Mostly we loaded MLRS (Multi-Launch Rocket Systems) onto flatbed trailers, then braced them with dunnage. I dropped a load that had rusted out forklift pockets, and people went running for their lives as I'm just sitting their like "What? It's not fused people. Duuhhh..."

I also witnessed a Chief Warrant officer trying to show his troops that he could still operate a forklift, only to lose control veering into a ditch, jump out the wrong way and crush himself. He had two weeks left until retirement.

I know... happy, happy, joy, joy.

Glad your ok though. Merry Christmas.

Two more hours until the holidays. Can't wait.

there is a grocery store called bi-lo around here. i go there pretty frequently cause they have decent prices and without the hassle of going to walmart... which is like the times square of this ****ty small town.

anyway, like i said there's a store called bi-lo and i went in to get some **** and i tend to sort of zone in on whatever it is i'm looking for when i'm in any kind of store and i basically ignore everyone else unless they're a young attractive female. i mean it might be bad manners or whatever but it's just my instinct.

anyway i was looking for some **** and i heard a lady say "shoe's untied hun..." but it was like cause of her southern accent and the fact that i wasnt even paying attention to her it took my brain an extra 20 seconds to register that she was talking to me.

but before i even realized this she got offended and i heard her say to some old ass lady she was with: "bi-lo's gone to hell in a handbasket..." and she just sounded so southern and disappointed in society when she said it like she thought my mentality was "**** you bitch... i wear my shoes untied on purpose cause i'm one of those crazy kids" and i couldn't help but laugh once i realized what had transpired.

really i didn't even register the shoes untied thing until after she said bi-lo's gone to hell in a handbasket and then that made me crack up and she looked at me like i was satan and i couldn't stop laughing as she walked away disappointed.

my roommates are disturbingly lazy about buying toilet paper. It's been about two weeks they've been without. Nobody else buys it but me so I just keep it in my room and blablabla. As a prank I deliberately didn't wash my hands after making brownies/chocolate sauce/a bunch of chocolate stuff and have been making my chocolaty whereabouts known with fingerprints et al around the house that look kinda... poopy.

My pet of almost ten years passed away this summer, but today I had the urge to replace her. Went down to my LFS and picked out a beauty, only the size of a loonie. It's going to be fun to watch her grow to six inches in height.

LFS?

Congrats on the new buddy.

Sorry, it's aquarium forum slang for "Local Fish Store". I just realized I forgot to mention she's an angelfish.
