NOVEMBER
Sorry for being a lazy ass for the month. I wanted to write but hell, I was busy playing games online and generally being miserable about not having a job, then about being in NC. Oh, yeah, I got a job on the 11th. Where you might ask? A place called Ryan's. It's owned by buffets inc., the same people that own O.C.B. At first I was happy to be working for a corporation, stability wise at least. How fucking wrong was I? After my first day I asked about getting my schedule. They told me they would call me. As an added measure of security I told them that I would call them too just in case they lost my number or something. I called them once on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (mind you I started working on a Wednesday) each time they told me it wasn't ready and they'd give a call when it was. They never called me. Then the following Tuesday at 16:15, I get a call from them saying I was supposed to be there 15 minutes ago. At that time not only was I not ready (i.e. showered & shaved) , I wasn't even home. So I rushed home got my shit and made it to work by 5:26. When I get there my manager Buddy (his name is really Buddy) cracked a joke about my tardiness; he was the one who was supposed to contact me about my schedule. I was fucking livid. If I was white I'm sure I would have been beet red with rage. Not only was I mad as fuck but I also wasn't used to the volume of work I was doing so I screwed up a hell of lot that day. Fast forward a week, things start panning out and I'm getting used to everything. I find out that I'm working Thanksgiving woo fucking hoo. It ended up working out though because me ma ended up working thanksgiving too. So we had thanksgiving dinner the day after. That about wraps up November.
But before I consider Nov. complete, here is what work looks like for me.

DECEMBER
Ah, December the month that really made me start missing home and other stuff too.
So going into December, I'm used to work, being isolated, and I've stopped giving a shit about the people I live and work around, at least the ones who are from here, and that one F.I.B. at Wal-mart. I remember one day before work I was messing around on my phone and I decided to look at all the pictures I took. All those good memories. All the stuff I loved. I swear at that moment I was crying, but no tears came out. It was as if my heart was sinking into nothingness. It felt truly awful, horrific really. I felt like I was never going to see anyone again. Like it was impossible to return to my life. So I went to work, stewing in that mindset. I've been slowly distancing myself from my co-workers ever since. I can't enjoy anything living so far away from my life. It would be different if I came down here for myself, but I didn't. I came down here because my mom needed the help. I'm hoping my dad can get back on his feet and start working before I go. I know that my mom can't support the way they live right now, and if my dad gets a job I will no longer be duty bound to stay. Whoa, I'm getting off point a bit, back to December shit. So we had a Christmas party at work, why I went I still don't know but I know now after that I don't belong here. Because of all these emotions of resentment and longing, I finally broke down and brought a web cam. I've yet to use it, but I feel a bit better just knowing I have it. I had a few days off after buying the web cam, or at least I thought I did. I get my weekly schedule every Monday so I know my when I work until the following Tuesday. That's a pretty simple system, one that would attribute some planning (since I don't work on Mondays) and conscientious thinking toward my job security. But that wouldn't be the Ryan's way, so poo on me. They changed my schedule and never gave me a notice. They told my that I need to check the my schedule everyday for changes because on the there printed copy it says "subject to change". What it should say then is "Subject to change without notice" as to absolve confusion from both parties. But once again, that's not the Ryan's way. So they called me at 5:20 asking where I was. I told them That I wasn't scheduled to work that day and just in case of some error on my part I went and grabbed my copy of my schedule and sure enough I wasn't on. So they asked me to come in anyway because they would be down a dishwasher. I told them I would see them tomorrow and they needed to get someone to cover because I didn't have a ride. What I wanted to say was "Go fuck yourselves. If you motherfuckers don't have the fucking decency to call me or at least tell me when I was working that you changed my schedule, then you can stew in your stupidity and wash the dishes yourselves. I did click on them though so it isn't like I just caved in to them. That week I only worked two days because of Christmas. It was a bittersweet thing Because the only reason I go to that hell hole is for the money. December was a big disappointment for me; I really got nothing accomplished that I'd set out to do. On the bright side I did get my axe back, I have Kiwi to thank for that, so Thanks again Kiwi. Before I wrap up December, New years eve. I worked, then I called peoples in Wisco. If those of you recall, I told you that guns where being fired well here's the proof.

2011: Live
JANUARY
I can't say much for the new year as of now. I know one thing though, I can't wait for it to be March! Being back in town would be fucking awesome!! But I digress, it's a new year. What the fuck has happened this month? Oh yeah it snowed here and people flipped shit. The city of Concord was closed. The fucking city was closed. I didn't know a city closed, so this was news to me. For two days the city stayed closed, hell schools still hasn't resumed (effectively giving every student 9 days off). All of this for an inch and a half of snow, which turned into an inch of ice. Now I know what your thinking, "an inch of ice can be hazardous." True, if it was somewhere where it could be a hazard. The roads have been cleared of all ice and snow since Tuesday at around 2 in the afternoon. Once more the stupidity of Ryan's had to come into play. This time in the fashion of not giving me notice of our establishments closure. Apparently we were close all day Monday and Tuesday. I never received a call to tell me this information. According to them I should have called to see if we were open. Now by applying that logic I would need to call there every day I had work to make sure we're still open. Yep that makes just as much sense to you as it does to me. Luckily I'm not the only employee there who's sick of being jerked around. From what I here, our 3 best guys; I being one of them are all talking about quitting. I want to see how fast that mother fucker would get shut down with all those lazy ass toss-pots at the helm. Oh, that would be a most joyous occasion. We'll see what the future hold for us children. Thanks for actually reading this. It's the accumulation of two and a half months for procrastination so I hope it was worth it. If it wasn't well the fuck you Mr. and/or Miss I have high expectations from Jacob. Thanks again I guess I can get back on track now; you know it being the new year and all. Until then folks, until then.
