Caught a "Fathead" today. I used to catch one when I had that perfect Bong Toke. Well, now it's been many, many years since those days...(I hear you howling...Blue Tick). A "Fathead" is when your brain is deprived oxygen and you become blindingly dizzy. However, today's event occured because of my raging fever. My body temperatureis now 102 and climbing! Up from only 101.5 this am. This is very high for me, because my normal temp. is around 97.5 degrees. I feel like crap! I'm going to bed now. I'll take some meds and catch up on the web tomorrow.

It's funny how the mind works! I finally fell asleep around six am.

I got home tonight and HAD to make Kool-aid. For those who have forgotten the process... Pour 1 cup of sugar into a 2 quart pitcher. Add 1 packet of Kool-aid. Fill pitcher with 2 quarts of water. Stir. I happen to like Black Cherry the best. It used to come out only in the spring and summer months. I hate Grape flavor because my Ex used to like it. I hate it when there is more water than sugar/Kool-aid. It tastes very bad. I don't see how anyone could screw it up, but it happens. I want to know why the sugar "melts" in Kool-aid and cold water, but not in anything else, like iced tea? Is there some sugar melting ingredient? It's gotta be a conspiracy.

I just can't get to sleep. I know I should be in bed but I have too much worked up angst over Cinnamon-Gnome working on her portfolio. Ok not really, but it could be true. Maybe if I click off a few thoughts I might just get tired enough to fall asleep. For example, Why do we wear a pair of pants, but only a shirt? or A pair of panties but only a bra? Last time I checked there were two items in a bra and only one in panties. It's crap like that that leaves me sleepless. I was listening to Art Bell tonight. He had a quantum physist on discussing the Quantum computers. It would seem that it would take an infinite amount of time to make certain quantum calculations with a computer. However, a Quantum computer could do infinite calculations in a finite period of time. Unless you were on the moon. Time slows down on the moon. (but we all knew that). Given these arguements, does this mean a bra and panties come off in more time or less time in Acidman's blog? Good night!

Well, Let me retort!
I knew when I made that post the comments would fly. They did. Let me respond this way…. Was I too harsh? Maybe, but I still stand by what I posted. Do I understand? Yes I do. My first job was as a bus boy for a Greek restaurant. I walked to work everyday for 3 summers and after school. (No, it wasn’t 10 miles up hill both ways in blinding snow.) I did complain about the walk not the work. (It was only a mile and a half.) It was hard and demanding but I always tried hard and did my best. Did I see messed up stuff? No the chef was very demanding. (I later became Head Chef at 16 years old.) Was I lucky? No, I just made correct choices and took pride in my work. I learned to shut up and listen. I learned a lot that way too. Only later, in fast food, (part time in college) did I see and corrected screwed up restaurant stuff. I also saw the rotten underbelly of food service while inspecting restaurants for a large chain. Do I have to read Storm Cloud’s blog? Well, no of course. I just like to. She has written some good stuff. Do I think blogging is a great way to relieve stress? Yes, I blog daily, well almost. So now what? Let’s change tact.
You posted it for the world to see, I did and called you on it. By the way, the fact that your nineteen and not pregnant with 5 kids or a crack head, but working is not, Repeat, Not an accomplishment. Your not supposed to be an unwed, crack head. We all make choices in life. Study, learn, work hard, positive attitude = Success. Drugs, truancy, laziness, apathy = Failure. Now you choose.

WARNING: Profanity used liberally

Had one hell of a bar fight tonight! Wow! My first in the new job. Seems A big drunk Redneck (no offense…Hell I’m half Redneck, half Asshole), got bested by a Retard. Retard is harsh…Aaron is a bit touched with the Down’s syndrome. He’s different, but he’s kind hearted. Aaron hangs around doing odd jobs for a few bucks here and there. He can be annoying as heck, but he’ll do most anything for you. Anyway, back to the story, Aaron was counting his loose change at the bar. Drunk Redneck Steve decides to fuck with him. Making Aaron lose count, taking a few coins calling him “dumb bastard.” Just stupid shit like that. Well Aaron had just about enough of Steve! He reached up and snatched this cheap-ass arrowhead necklace from around Steve’s neck. Man let me tell you! Beads and decorative crap goes a flyin’, beer bottles went a rollin’, then Steve lets loose with a punch so hard I thought I saw Aaron’s chest cave in around his fist. Aaron goes down to one knee suckin’ wind man. I thought Steve killed him. The bar crowd went wild screamin’ and cussin’ chantin’ Aaron! Aaron! Steve was swaggerin’ over his victim shouting, “ Get up you fuckin’ retard! Get the fuck up.” As I was commin’ around the bar with my peacemaker (a 24’’ wooden stick taped for such occasions), I don’t know where he came from but Aaron leapt off the ground with a 22 ounce beer mug cocked in his hand and WHAM! Right across Steve’s jaw. Dropped him like a wet sack of shit! Out cold brother! Then came Steve’s friend, Dumbass #2. But before he could do anything foolish. I jumped in with the peacemaker and escorted him into the just arriving police officer’s hands. The E.M.T.s arrived to escort Steve out. I think his jaw was broken! At least the other bar patrons backed Aaron swearin’ Steve started it and through the first punch.

Just got my Permit to legally serve alcohol in Gwinnett Co. What B.S. Fill out a form, get Fingerprinted (background check), and pay $25.00....A Year! Some background check, I went in Tuesday afternoon and it was mailed on Wednesday (postmark). Another government rip-off!

After reading this and this blog, Time to rant! Come on Storm Cloud. Get with the program! Change you’re attitude or change your job. It’s attitudes like yours that gives My profession a black eye. Furthermore, that attitude produces dirty nasty restaurants that Ms. Taylor reports. If you don’t want to do a good job, or can’t get along with your employer…Quit for crying out loud! I’m tired of reading your gripes. Enough is enough. Try a job in retail. Wal-Mart is hiring. Stock grocery shelves anything but treating your guests to your piss poor attitude. How about taking Pride in your work? If you see something not right, change it…make it right. How can you “serve” your guests knowing food is contaminated? You’re as much to blame as the cooks are. I take pride in my work and wouldn’t put out a bad product because I want guests to come back. Those people who let Health Code violations exist in their restaurant. …Read above!

Something has been bothering me ALL DAY! I don't think Long Haired Country Boy is from Georgia. I don't know why I thought he was or maybe he is. Anyway, I like his Blog so I'm adopting him (any objections?)

Watched the Coca-Cola 600 last night with my Stepdad. He is a WWII veteran. I thanked him for perserving freedom for Me and my family. Much to my surprise he went off on a rant about the perversion of our government by Politicians and Bureaucrats. He called his generation the "Selfish" generation. They think only of their bankrupt Social Security, and Government spending programs because they sacrificed so much for their Country. The Government owes them. Oh, there was so much more. I learned quite a lot. Plus, I never realized he felt that way. I always left political discussions out of conversations because Mom doesn't like those discussions. I had to Thank him again.

Work, work, and more work. Fired a Bartender for giving free drinks to her friends, 4 servers failed to show up for their shifts...= Fired. Turnover is suddenly increasing. It must be because summeritis. Schools out and slackness is in. Oh well, We'll work it out. We did a catering job for a company....very cool.
Getting ready for the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca Cola 600 later today. I haven't been off work for Memorial day in more than 10 years. I hardly know what to do.
I get my truck back from the shop tomorrow. I had a new engine installed. After over 200,000 miles, the old truck needed a boost. About 2 months ago this radical proceedure resulted in major failure. After 400 miles, repeat 400 miles the new engine swallowed a valve. I've never been so thankful for filling out a warranty card in my life. All seems to be a go now. Only time will tell. Bart at Roadspeed Garage has been great! He really went out of his way with the engine rebuilders. He usually doesn't work on "normal" vehicles, and this was one hell of a favor.
