MONDAY----
I wake up on the couch, having to sleep there to avoid getting the wife sick. I am feeling slightly better from my flue on sunday, but still sniffling and watery eyes remain. Pisses me off.
I head to JONS COUNTRY BURGER with the wife. We discuss the chances of me doing MID OHIO CON as I just got an invite there. We also go and do some shopping. We buy our BETA FISH a new fishbowl, some rocks and a couple of ceramic frogs and turtles to keep him company. We get home and put together our new home for our fish. I clean around my desk area and check mail.
The wife is bummed out for some odd reason so we chat a bit and decide to watch some movies. We make tacos and watch SAW 2, CLERKS and FUN WITH DICK AND JANE. Two out of three of those films sucked. Care to guess which ones?
Anyway, she passes out in the bedroom, and me on the couch once again.
TUESDAY----
I wake up at noon feeling about the same and check email and online news junk for around 3 hours. The wife gets up and announces she has my flu. That sucks. She passes back out as I decide to call Mcdonalds to see if I was hired or not. They said for me to come in around 9pm to talk to them.
I head into work an hour early and get to work. Good news is they hired back an old employee and he is working nights. THANK GOD!!!!!!! Finally, some help. At 9pm, I head to McDonalds and have a quick ass interview with the store manager who kinda already knows me anyway. I was hired. I got orientation next week. I get food, score my first discount as an employee and head back to my other job.
My feelings are mixed. On one hand I am excited. I get to run around, staying active, losing weight. I get to meet new people, feel like my hard work matters, get free food. But most importantly, I get more MONEY! Money to get out of debt finally. Money to buy my son decent presents for xmas and his birthday, and to support his school clothes fund. Money to print my comics and go on vacations I've always wanted to go on.
On the other hand, I am slightly sad. I tried other places to no avail. Its going back to the ol' tried and trusted, corporation that I've spent so much time hating. But, I am a crew person. I'm not in management. Though, I am sure I could be if I wanted it. I'm away from the stress and bollocks. Its been almost 7 years since I was there at Mcdonalds full time. I worked there for a summer briefly in 2001, but it wasn't enough to make me hate it as much as I did once before.
Most importantly, and this is a dumb reason: I have to shave my goatee off.
Yeah, I'll miss my goatee. Its a sad thing to see it go. Its my look, and it hides my double chin. But when I think about it, why worry about hiding my double chin, when I cannot hide by big fucking belly? Seems dumb don't you think???
So, Mcdonalds it is. Extra cash, food folks and fun and all that cal. Am I "lovin' it?" No. But I'm not dissapointed either. I'm 28, and I am slightly feeling like I am 16 again. Who says you can't go back in time? I am. Next week: Mcdonalds of Mt. Pleasant. See yeh there.
And if anyone ever tries to doubt my dedication to me wanting to draw comics, you won't be able to no longer! I love my comic career so much, that I am willing to go through hell..... again... to make it happen. Remember folks... Its not for me. Its for you!
