As I have stated, I am back at the towing company again. I have all kinds of wonderful and fairly funny stories I could post, but I really have a burning desire to post this:
WE HAVE MIKE TYSON'S BMW!
...complete with coke residue on the dash.
For the sake of being accurate, it's not actually his BMW..it belongs to a friend.
I got to work one day last week and noticed a BMW locked up in one of the mechanic's bay, and I didn't think twice about it. I don't know why, but I looked it up in our computer system and what do ya know, Mike Tyson was listed as the driver! Of course I went to inspect. It's my policy to NEVER go into a car let alone open the door, so I did my nosing from the outside. And yes, there was residue on the dash.
Good times.

Yesterday was my first day back at the towing company! If you don't know which, don't ask me here because I'm not going to post it. Sadly, we have a bad enough rap without me admitting that I'm employed there. For you amateur sleuths...I'm sure there's enough context clues for you to solve the mystery.
For now I'm working in the dispatch office. I work five days a week, ten hour shifts. It struck me how much I missed that place after about two hours of being there.
One of the best parts of my day was that I didn't have to change any adult diapers/bedpans or have to give anyone a shower. I'm not giving up on the nursing field, but it's nice to not have to deal with bowel movements and washing people in the places they can't reach.
Today is my day off and I can't figure out what to do with myself. All I've done thus far is sip an energy drink, smoke too many cigarettes and type this...
I'm on a serious Dog Fashion Disco trip right now! They make me all kinds of happy.

Ah, so I have returned!
I've learned an important lesson today...It's a lesson I "learn" every year but quickly forget and return to my old habits. I HATE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AT THE LAST MINUTE! Everywhere I went was packed...and it was raining. Oh how I wish Christmas could be done away with.
Anyway.
I went to visit some friends and my Mom and the towing company that I worked at previously. As it turns out, I am sorely missed...and I was offered my job back. What's a girl to do? I know it might seem silly seeing as I went through everything to get my CNA certification, but it's been hell finding stable work and the pay is pretty pathetic. I've been working registry, and they couldn't get me hours...blah blah blah. So, back to something I know and that pays well! I don't see it as a defeat by any means--I wont waste away there forever. Money is a big concern for me at this point in time, and my going back makes sense.
Beyond my self I perceive my own ability
And through these wormholes I search
Inside and out of me
I'm not exactly what I'd like to be
So I suffocate my siddhis
Gain momentum once again
Tell myself don't ever let them
Drag you down
I'll take the pain
And wish you all away
I'll take the blame
And wish you all away
I love you, Dog Fashion Disco.
I went to Santa Cruz, California last weekend to visit my family. I had an absolute blast...I have a few pictures to post when I get around to it. The main theme of them is patricide...muwhaha.
I probably wont post for awhile (as is my way), so happy holidays or whatever to everyone <3

Life is good right now. Perhaps a more detailed entry will surface at a later time.
I updated to brag..ha ha!
I am now the proud owner of this fine piece of machinery:
Sexy.
Mine is of Russian orgin (no substitutions!) and in pristine condition. I'll include a link that contains a bit of history about the pistol for any interested parties. I find it fascinating that this was the handgun of choice for the KGB.
Info: http://www.makarov.ch/eng/history.htm
My Dad has been hanging on to it since I was a wee little Whitney...and since my 21st birthday has passed, it is now officially mine. The only issue now is getting my precious to Arizona. It has been suggested that it be disassembled and mailed to me in sections. Legally, I do believe that is a sound solution. It's been awhile since I've assembled pistols, so this could be an adventure!
Anyone care to go shooting with me? I'm quite the markswoman...
And that is all.

Let us all rejoice, for I am officially employed!
*happy dance*
On Thursday I start my new job at TCH (The Centers for Habilitation)! It's a program that works with developmentally disabled adults and children. I'm excited!! Let us examine why:
-Working (i.e. being out of the home) is good for the body and soul.
-Paid training!
-My work schedule is MONDAY through FRIDAY 0700-1500. How amazing is that?!?!
-Unlimited over-time is available.
-My job is three miles from my house.
-SWEET, and I mean SUPER SWEET benefits after ninety days.
-Preacher (the dog) is offered insurance through my work as well.
(It's super cheap, and he doesn't have to wait ninety days to be enrolled.)
-Because I am a CNA, there was talk about grooming me to be a supervisor.
And above all else...
-It's work that I find meaningful and I enjoy.
Ok, so I'm almost done with this narcistic post...
My graduation ceremony is rapidly approaching. It is to be held October 20th at Mesa Centennia Hall (201 N. Center St.) at 1900. Err, 7PM for those of you who do not embrace military time. If you want to come, you're more than welcome to show up! No need to R.S.V.P! Afterward there is to be a fooding and partaking of drink at my Mom's house. No, I will not be posting her address on ye olde inetnets. Find me there and I'll tell you where to go.
For now, I will bid thee all farewell...I have a project to work on! My roommates sister is holding a Halloween shindig here soon and I'm going to paint a graveyard scene on one of the sets of sliding glass doors. The tombstones are going to be for everyone who resides in the house...this should be funny. I'm letting everyone decide what they want said about them on their tombstone. Perhaps pictures will follow at some point in the future.
Adieu.
Oh yeah, The Album Leaf is a pretty groovy band. I highly suggest checking them out (especially if you use the internet handle Hamilcar) :)

Sometimes I go a little bit bonkers. Last night about midnight I was bored out of my mind so I drove over to my parents house to have my own little slumber party on their couch.
Not too long after my arrival, my Mom woke up for a smoke. Upon seeing PJ clad moi, she declared, "You're here to watch my T.V. all night and eat my food!" I attribute that to that crazy motherly clairvoyance. She promptly showed me where the Easy Mac was. (I looove my Mommy)
I stayed up until 5AM eating Easy Mac and watching some fun shows on that newfangled television device. Some of the highlights of my television watching were: The Angry Beavers, A History of the Red Orchestra (WWII spy ring) and Understanding Meteorites. I somehow got caught up watching an episode of some stupid reality show called Project Runway.
...I wanted to turn it of..but..I couldn't..
A little bit of me died inside.
Regardless, I PWNED LAST NIGHT!
I awoke to my phone going bonkers...
I HAVE TWO JOB INTERVIEWS THIS WEEK SO FAR!
(I got an e-mail for a third, but I need to call them tomorrow)
Life is good. Easy Mac, a night full of television, and prospective employers.

Goodness me! It's been awhile since I've updated..again..
Where to start?
I GRADUATED ON FRIDAY! I managed to make it out with a 4.0 GPA (top of the class!), honors and perfect attendance. Now all that remains for me to do is send in all my paperwork to the Arizona Board of Nursing and schedule my test date so that I am officially licensed through the state. Until that time, I am employable as a CNA license pending. I feel on top of the fucking world.
I spent all of last week doing my internship at an assisted living facility. I fell in love with some of the most adorable old people EVER. One of my favorites said one of the sweetest things in the world to me..
"I think that when we die, the only things that we get to take is what we've done for others. You can't take material possessions, or money. And bless your heart, you do more in one day than most people do in an entire life time."
It takes a lot to pull the strings of my peanut-sized heart, but she did.
Next weekend I'm going to my cousins wedding in Long Beach. It'll be nice to see her and the rest of that side of the family. My main concern is that the wedding itself is taking place on a yacht that's going to cruise around the harbor. I detest being on boats in the ocean--it scares me. I'll have to suck it up, though. Maybe I can find something to mellow me out...
...on a lighter note: my aunt (the brides mom) rented a house ON the beach. It comes fully equipped with a hot top that has a view of the ocean. Also, she is bringing two cases of wine! I get to pretend to be ritzy!!
...another lighter note: as part of my graduation present, Mumsy and Clark took me out to by a nice outfit to wear to the wedding. After about an hour and a half of perusing a mall full of the most idiotic people I have ever been subjected to, I selected a super sexy black pant suit and a jacket. I tried it on, and with my glasses on I look like a business executive. I'm going to fire people left and right at the wedding.
It should be fun, but going to weddings always makes me so dreadfully melancholy.
I downloaded the Deftones new single "Hole in the Earth". I like it, but I'm not as impressed as I was hoping I'd be. It's reminiscent of the last album (Deftones), but it does have some heavy riffs that make me think of Around the Fur. I'll have to check out the rest of the album, methinks.
I suppose that'll do. Adieu.

By mid-September I will be a certified Nursing Assistant.
...after that, I proceed with becoming an RN.
Needless to say, I'm in a pretty good mood.
It's been about twenty-four hours since I've ate, and I'm starving. Here I am faced with a delima...there's not a whole lot to eat here, and I'm too lazy to go anywhere. I think I'll continue to sit in front of the computer until a meal materializes before me. Pot roast and mashed potatoes would be preferable.
The end.

What a long week.
One more day to go...then I get one day of freedom.
I was bored, so I re-vamped the old LJ. Georges Melies is fucking awesome.
THE END.

Now that I'm back, I can make all the pointless entries that I deem necessary.
Today at work, I apparently almost got my ass beat. GO WHITNEY!
A group of three rather robust women and their horde of smelly unkempt children came in to pick up their car, but alas, it had a flat tire so they ventured forth to procure some fix-a-flat for our lot attendant to help them fix the tire. The faithful lot attendant waited..and waited..and waited. Finally he asked my co-worker and myself what was taking so long. My very astute co-worker Krissy informed him that the probably had to get some food. He told us we were mean. It wasn't even a minute later they walked in armed with a taquito from ye olde QT in each hand...
Krissy proceeded to prepare their paperwork and I sat at my desk working on my 10-day filings (work jargon, shame on me). I forget that anything I say is audible to the people in the lobby. I swear I do (sometimes). I loudly proclaimed that the reek of taquitos and piss was unbearable. I'm going to guess that one of the youngsters wet their diaper--heaven forbid it be something else. One of them came up to the window and asked if I had a problem. I told her I had a problem with the way that their food and children smelled, and that I could get over it.
When our lot attendant took them out to their car, she busted out with the ever-classic "I should beat the shit out of that skinny bitch".
Wow, that was long for something so pointless. Ah well, I'm somewhat bored...and therefore you will suffer. All of you. Suffer.
Oh yeah! I work in Chandler now. It's the same company for those of you who know where I work. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it yet. It has its pros and cons, so we shall see.
I guess that's all. Adieu.
