When Hell Freezes Over

I spent the majority of my day finishing up orientation for my new job at Meijer Distribution Center. It was and is going to be without a doubt an experience, seeing as how I learned today how to drive/operate a forklift and two other pieces of equipment. In starting my job tomorrow, I've come to the realization about some thing regarding it:
1. It's going to be cold as balls.
2. It's going to be very physical and tough on my body.
3. It's going to suck some major ass.
I need the money though, in the worst way. Paying for college is not easy, as many of you know I'm sure so getting as much as I can right now is all I can really ask for. I am getting paid a very good hourly wage, but something tells me that it is not going to seem like enough no matter what I end up doing at work tomorrow or in the future.

I'm not really sure what all to expect, because they did not really tell us today where we would be working in our respective buildings and what exactly we would be moving. But knowing that I am going to be in building #801 I know it is going to be anywhere from 35-55 degrees and I'm not going to be very good at first. What I mean by that is, I'm not going to be good at moving things and stacking them in the most efficient way possible simply because I've never done it before. I feel as if the people who are there working with me are going to get frustrated with my molasses style of work, but at the same time I hope they can understand that they before were once like me.

I spent my last night of freedom tonight before I begin my 2nd shift life (2pm-10pm-ish) by assisting with serving a dinner for Erma Hagen at my church. She is the parish secretary who is retiring at the end of the month and who has always cooked for the youth retreats and just been there for anyone who needs it. She's awesome, so it felt only right that I was there for the dinner dedicated to her. I then watched a bit of the Reds game (they lost 4-3 on a walk-off homer) and then went and got sno shack with one of my good friends from high school who I had not seen in a while. She is a few years older than I am, but it was great catching up with her, as always.

That's pretty much my day. And all that I really have to say. Goodnight.

Hell Freezes Over tomorrow for me.

Proud Buckeye and Sports Enthusiast,

Those People Who Mr. Goodell Call 'Officials'

Hmph. That about sums about the way I feel about the National Football League at the moment. So does the rest of America, or so it seems. I guess it is a good move on my part that I did not write this post last night around midnight after I saw this happen to my beloved Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The fact that this blatantly awful call was on national television amplifies the situation more than people realize. Through the first three weeks of this NFL season, it is no secret that the gentlemen (and lady in one instance) that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hired to work this season until the regulars get their labor situation figured out with the owners of all 32 franchises in league are just embarrassing. These officials have consistently made bad call after bad call (just YouTube NFL replacement refs bad calls and you will be able to waste a solid amount of time at work or in class shaking your head) and I think we all were just sitting around and waiting f...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
