The Stars That Usher Evening Rose

It always amuses me how when one kid gets into trouble their brother or sister always has a huge smile on their face. You know they are loving the fact that their brother or sister is the one getting into trouble not them. While I have two sisters I didn't actually grow up with them as they are much older than I am so I never got to experience this but if I had I am sure my reaction would have been no different. Short post but life been boring last few days. Though Andy and I need to hurry up and figure out if we are going to renew our lease or move elsewhere.

Work yesterday was very interesting to say the least. About 40 minutes after I started working my co-worker ran inside and told me to radio up to the front of the store and tell them to call the police because there is a women being chocked by a man in the parking lot and that he is also trying to kidnap her kid. At first i wasn't sure if he was being serious since it's not every day you hear someone tell you that sort of thing. But I looked outside in direction he was heading and noticed a crowd forming and realized he wasn't joking. So I immediately radioed up to the front and told them what was going on. That was followed by a long pause before I finally got a response from them asking me to repeat what I said, I later found out the pause was due to them making sure they heard me say what they thought I said. So apparently I wasn't only one caught off guard by it. So anyway they call the police and one of the managers comes running up to the front of the store asking me where they all were so I pointed and she ran out there. By then the guy had already fled the scene. Thankfully the women seemed to be fine except for a scratch on her neck and while the child seemed a little rattled he was ok as well. The police came and interviewed several people and took written statements from those who witnessed it. The cop then stayed with the women till she could get someone to come pick her up at which point they followed him to the court house so that she could press charges and put out a warrant for his arrest. 30 or so minutes passed before a customer who witnessed the assault came back out of the store. He told me that in his 48 years on this earth that he had never seen anything like that before and that when he came in the store he had to take some time to himself in order to recompose himself. Apparently this male who assaulted the women also threatened and cursed at one of our employees as well as this customer who saw it take place and made initial call to police. I don't know if they ever caught the guy but I do know they had a discription of him, his car and the license plate so chances are probably pretty high that they got him at some point. So yeah that's how my day at work started yesterday, not every day you get that kind of excitment.

Took me forever to sign in here as I couldn't remember my username or password despite the fact I just signed in here a couple days ago, is that bad? Anyway I have come to the conclusion that everyone is an idiot. Some are definitely worse than others though. You have people who can't read or refuse to read signs warning them or telling them they can't do something but then precede to do it anyway. For example at work we have signs all over the front entrance for telling people to park on other side of the street yet people will still park smack in front of the store and then bitch and wine when you tell them they have to move their car. Also you have those people who come to get their propane tanks refilled and total ignore the big sign on the front door that specifically tells them they can not bring their propane tanks inside the building yet decide to bring tank inside anyway. The few times I have worked gas station it has amazed me how many people do not know or understand how a gas pump works. As well as those who don't understand what they did wrong when they get charged the wrong price. Its not complicated people. Then you get those people who park behind other people and wait for them to finish pumping gas instead of using one of the other several empty gas pumps, I mean do they have superstitions that they will only use that one pump or are they too dumb to realise there is several other open pumps? It is amazing how so many people can turn the simplest things into the most complicated things and unfortunately we are all guilty of it from time to time, just some are a whole lot worse than others.

I haven't updated this thing in over two years. I got bored of it and didn't really feel like keeping up with it anymore so I quit posting. Now two years later I think I may give it a try again and hopefully keep up with it. I won't be posting everyday as I do not have that kind of time or patience but hopefully I will pop on at least once a week if not more often. Blog wont change much from what I posted on it before, just whatever is going on in my life and probably continue to post whatever dreams I can remember. I will also use this as my ranting post as I seem to have a lot to rant about anymore these days. Chances are no one reads this anymore and that is OK as I will mainly be writing just to get things off my mind, etc... That's it for now I should be back within a few days with my first real post.
