26 October Looking for a PatchWhat I wouldn't give for a pounce hug, or a phone call from my running frog, haven't had one of those in awhile. I miss the phone calls that last over an hour, talking about pretty much nothing, but I miss that voice.
I miss him sprouting in the nearest piece of furniture, I was thinking as I walked up my stairs tonight, how much I'd love his arms to wrap around me. Just hoping he would appear out of nowhere and sweep me up in his arms.
Just hoping for a pleasant surprise that won't come until after finals, and maybe even longer than that. I miss my Patch

Monday, I was talking to a friend when his girlfriend came along, and they weren't blantantly shoving it in my face, but you could tell, so I was almost glad when I had to leave. And yesterday, I'm in class and we're doing surveys for it, and the group in front of me, was interviewing college kids about dating and stuff, and apparently most people they talked to were into having "fun" not looking for long term stuff. Silly me, for thinking that's what people were looking for.
Also, I was walking across campus to work, and Tuesdays seem to be the days when the Navy (we have various military recruitment programs on campus) dresses up in their dress blues. But yesterday, there was an abundance of people, so many more than I usually see on a Tuesday, and of course, that's what I go crazy for: a nice looking guy in a military uniform (I'm very partial of the Marines, but I like them all) and that nice crew cut. Damn, I hate being single.
I don't generally find people that I'd like to date, yes, I do notice guys on campus and think they're cute, but I don't usually think, 'that guy would be a nice guy to date'. Well, there was one guy recently, he had all the things I was looking for, but apparently I pissed him off in some way. So that's not gonna happen.
And all this leads to thing I've been wanting most lately: human touch. Like a hug or something of that nature. Of course, my parents would love to give that to me, but that's not what I want. I want to experience the greatness of cuddling with someone you love.
Always waiting for that. And it would be extra great if it was one of those military guys, but...

As much as I love working basketball, I hate it when I have to work longer than I was promised, yes I know it means I get more money, but...
Oh, and I also love the college age kids who all complained because they thought it was a free thing after the football game, come on, it was only $5.00 for a ticket, I may be a starving college student too, but I could afford the ticket, that is, if I cared about it. I've missed this job, I don't get to be mean anywhere else. I actually could have let these people in, I had a pocketful of tickets, and I could have counted them, but I can't get my kicks by being nice, that ruins all the fun.
And anyone who happens to read this that may go to ISU, just because I work at the Center, does not mean I get free tickets to things, or free merchandise, the number of people that have asked me that is so annoying, cause obvioulsy I must since I work there.
My boss warned me about drunks coming in today, since we know lots of college kids love to tailgate before (and probably after) the fb game. I only had one person I knew had something to drink. Guy comes up to me, stands way too close (always seems to happen with drunk people), and says he's trying to get in touch with his roommate who happens to be in the band, so of course I should let him in, yeah right buddy, with all the excuses I've had today, with the 3 guys yelling and throwing their water bottles across the walkway. Fun with people. Can't wait until I'm really in the season and I get to take stuff away, that's when the real fun starts.
And once again, if you can't comment because you're not a member of Hotmail or MSN, please email me: weinkermeyer@hotmail.com I do so much love comments 20 October Not meFYI: I am so not the person to come to about relationship advice. Not that I mind listening if one needs to vent, but don't think you'll get any good advice from me. That all comes from not ever having a relationship (but that's for another day). I got to listen to someone complaining about her husband for about half an hour today, once again I'm not complaining, but it almost seemed that she wanted advice, which I obviously can't give. Or at least I feel I can't give it, I have this theory that if I've never been in that situation, I can't give advice to people on it, now I know that not all people (I've actually heard quite a few people trying to give advice on things they nothing about) have that theory, but that's just me.
I know it's in my job description of being a caring individual to friends that I have to listen to their woes (whatever they may be about), just don't come looking for advice.
Or maybe the word is advise, no that can't be right.
So I took a test in my Soc 302 class today and one of the questions (actually two) was give a correct sentence using the word advice, and give a correct sentence using the word advise. Course we also had to do the same with effect and affect. I'm guessing those are the only 4 I got right. GO ME!!!!
Well, it's been one of those weeks, where one thing knocks you off, ya know one little thing fucks you up. That little thing decided to appear to me on Tuesday morning before I went to classes, a nice help for the day. First thing in the morning. Let's see if we can't put Wendy in a bad mood, and of course I can't skip classes just cause somebody screwed me over, well I did get to go on a nice walk that evening after I got off work, so that was helpful. Of course at this time of year, it was more or less dark right after I started, that's ok, I really needed that walk to blow off steam.
Yesterday, my mail perked me up, got the fall catalog from Sgt Grit. That's always nice to get. Oops, my bad, suppose I gotta explain it for all ye people. It's a catalog of merchandise for Marines (and if you know me at all you know I'm a HUGE fan of Marines, figure if I'm gonna be a fan of a military branch, might as well be the best. Now, if I could just find me a nice Marine to hook up with...).
And, today, didn't have my Soc 305 class due to unhelpful circumstances, so got to go home in the middle of the day (after feeding my habit) and slack off a little, that was extremely nice. Though it was wierd to be home and then get up and go straight to work.
Sigh.

Yeah, so I'm not supposed to sleep at work, but I was up until 1 this morning finishing a paper, and I can't function very well on 6 hours of sleep; plus I wasn't totally asleep, I could comprehend the songs in my headphones and I was paying attention to the noise in the room.
Bad news here in the PSRR, we have mice. Last week, my boss discovered a hole in the bag that held her snack mix and the next day her granola bars had been gnawed on, plus there were mouse droppings in her drawer. So we have posted signs all over stating people can't have food in here. We caught one mouse yesterday (underneath my bosses desk where the food was nibbled on), and today when we opened two more were in traps, one in the main room, the other in the same place as the one yesterday. If we continue to have problems, we will not be able to keep any food here, at the moment, it's in tins and the refrigerator.
I so can't wait until Friday, it starts a weekend of free food, nothing much better than that for me. The WOI Fall Fundraiser starts Fri, so I'm going to help answer phones Fri and Sat afternoons, free supper & snacks for those; also on Sunday, my mom's family is coming here to celebrate my Grandma's birthday, and of course everyone always brings food for that. So, more or less my meals are taken care of this weekend.
I don't just volunteer at WOI for the food, I love taking the calls, plus we generally get some interesting people in their to help answer phones, and I get to see people that work with dad, that I don't see very often.
Supposedly it's supposed to be nice this weekend, hopefully I can get outside and enjoy it (other than mowing lawns). I'd be real tickled if I could get a motorcycle ride, but it's best not to get my hopes up.
Also, if I'm lucky, I'll get something in the mail this week, that I ordered in July. And it was there waiting for me when I got home. I'm doing a happy dance. The Commmemorative Marine Corps dollar. I paid $35 for it and I won't part with it. So very cool. There's a picture of it at the US Mint webpage. So ecstatically happy now.

Bums me mega much.
Also, getting annoyed with the internet, well more the people on it. Seems like every time I find a forum I like, there are certain people on it that are regulars who just don't like me. One in particular, there's nothing this person has not posted to me that isn't rude or sarcastic. Now I have a tendency to give people 2 chances, but it's just annoying and of course there's nothing I can do about it.
Poor Pig
 And once again, if you can't comment because you're not a member of Hotmail or MSN, please email me: weinkermeyer@hotmail.com I do so much love comments 05 October People are still stupidThat's what I've learned at work today.
I had one guy that came in and argued about a record, which he had nothing to do with. He checked out a book, and he's a regular, so he shouldn't argue that he doesn't know when the book was due back. But he checks it out on a Friday right before we close, and brings it back on Sat. And then he checks it out on Sat, and brings it back two hours after it's due on Sunday. So he has a $1.50 fine. And he comes in today to argue it, his problem is that the detail of the fine doesn't say anything about him bringing it back on Sat, which doesn't matter at all because the fine doesn't have anything to do with that. He actually tried to argue at first that he didn't know when it was due back, only he said he got a receipt and it says on the receipt the time and date that it's due. So he more or less said he can't read (what's he doing in a library then?) And by that time I had had enough, so I bring my boss out where he continues to argue about the fact that there's nothing about this Sat thing. And after making my boss very annoyed, I think they argued for at least 10 minutes (of course the 3 people in here were looking over at this guy, with annoyed looks on their faces too) she finally said would you like me to take away your privileges of checking out books, which of course he didn't want, and then he said, I don't want to argue with you anymore, wierd. Now not in any of this was he complaining about his fine. And now he decides to pay the fine, only he has a $20 bill. And well, I didn't have change for that, so then he asks if he can pay it online, and I said yes, if you wait a month, it will get transferred to your online bill and then you'll have to pay 3.50, of course he didn't want that, so then he asks to borrow some of my money. Yeah, like I'm gonna loan money to a guy I've never met and the only time I've had with him is him arguing with my boss over nothing, right. So of course he finally leaves.
We have a counter here, you know those little laser beam things that count every time the beam is cut. Well, apparently people love to play with this thing. And today this guy's standing there playing with it and his finger and I said "Could you not do that" in which he replied "Could you ask a little nicer" in which I'm thinking, I shouldn't even have to tell you, you're old enough to be in college, I think he's a grad student and he's acting like he's five.
One of our regulars comes in with a handful of pencils and puts them back in our pencil box, like nothing's wrong with that. Do people not have their own pencils? Now, I wouldn't care if they were the ones we're trying to get rid of, but when they're just there to use IN THE LIBRARY and you take them.
And the last thing (maybe) that I'm complaining about. These pencils that we're trying to get rid of, well a guy comes up and starts fishing around in there, looking for (i'm guessing) one that's sharpened very well, when he could spend 2 seconds sharpening it in the electric sharpener.
PEOPLE ARE STUPID
And once again, if you can't comment because you're not a member of Hotmail or MSN, please email me: weinkermeyer@hotmail.com I do so much love comments Bigfoot did existI woke up today 5 minutes before I had to leave to catch the bus. It's amazing how much is internal, I didn't even think of what I had to do to get ready, good to know though. But, I don't plan on making this a habit. Waking up to no music, my first thought was this is really good or really bad. But since it was pretty light out, I decided it was really bad. Looked at my clock 9:20, extremely bad. So, yeah my internal friend Bob came along and whipped me into gear and I was out the door before I was even aware of what was going on.
I don't think I'm awake as of yet, course it's only been 2 hours, haven't been able to sit and talk to my pig, check my email in my comfy recliner or listen to my morning show. Of course I was also going to call work at 8, to see if they needed me to work til 9 tonight, because the guy that's supposed to, nicely sent an email sometime between 3 pm and 11pm last night, very nice.
I'm learning that Bigfoot did exist, not now as some people may say, but he/she did exist. Was called Gigantopithecus, and was around 5 million years to 400,000 years ago. was much bigger than us, bigger than gorillas even. So, yes believe all the fairy tales, there was a big foot.
Yeah, so good thing I grabbed a jacket on my way out the door even though it was nasty humid and not so cold, I remembered somewhere someone said it was gonna be cold today. But, as I'm coming out of my 10am class, it's raining, lucky for me, I only have to walk across the street, but damn, it was cold rain.
That brings me to something else, guys complain about the tiniest things. Like last night coming back from the prison tour in Ft. Dodge, we're eating at McD's and there's this guy that keeps looking impatient and glancing at his watch (keep in mind it was about 9pm) and finally went up to our club (criminal justice club) leader and complained that he had a lot of stuff to do tonight and he really wanted to get home. Come on, she sent us a schedule saying we weren't leaving until about 10, so we were way ahead of schedule. I believe this guy kept looking at his watch the whole time we were on the tour and was annoyed that we stopped for food. If he happened to be in our car, I would have started gnawing on him if he complained about stopping for food. Everyone on this trip (except maybe him) knew we weren't going to be back until around 11, so plan your deay accordingly or don't fucking come.
And the guy that was complaining about cold rain today, really, there's a thing called a weather forecast that you can get on many tv stations and radio stations that most people tune into to know how the weather will be like. And if you go with my excuse of oversleeping you could at least check it out the night before.
Yeah, and then the guy complaining about his fingers hurting, like I said guys complain about EVERYTHING.
Ok, suppose I should sign off and get back to more important things.
And once again, if you can't comment because you're not a member of Hotmail or MSN, please email me: weinkermeyer@hotmail.com I do so much love comments HmmmmSo, I went on a prison tour tonight, oddly enough it was set up and pretty much looked the same as another prison I toured a couple of years ago. Of course here the population was younger, I do believe the deputy warden said the average age was 25. Yeah, that was kinda wierd, we had a panel of guys talking to us, and there was one guy that was 21, and he'd already served 3 years, it was just kinda wierd seeing someone that was about my age and he had already spent all of his adult life in prison.
They were also saying that yes, it's true that you learn how to be a better criminal in prison. All three of these guys said they knew exactly how to make meth among other drugs because that's all the guys talk about in prison and they will tell you step by step by step how to make this stuff.
Watched a new show tonight called Close to Home on CBS about a district attorney that takes cases that are close to home, close to her heart. Apparently she just came off maternity leave and her first case is a mother that tried to burn down her home with her two kids in it. Actually the father locks the mother and kids in the house for two years and abused them with pressure and control as well as physical abuse. Wow! Very sad indeed, especially at the end when they had the older child on the stand, he was 10, saying he was the one who actually lit the fire, "so the firemen could save us, or we could die, either way it would be over". That's got to be pretty bad for a kid of 10 to do something that drastic. Yes, I know it's just a TV show, but they know how to get to me. I think I'm falling over the edge, I always used to tell my friends I couldn't watch Law & Order because I didn't like the court part of it. I love the actual law (on the streets cop work) but I'm not a big fan of in court stuff. Of course this season I'm watching 2 court shows: Just Legal, and Close to Home.
Found this site called Quiz Galaxy through one of the blogs I read Law & Disorder, where you take quizzes (you don't have to fill anything out other than the quiz, no info unless you want to join, which you don't have to do to take the quiz) so I found out how I'm going to die, apparently it will be a freak supernatural incident.
And once again, if you can't comment because you're not a member of Hotmail or MSN, please email me: weinkermeyer@hotmail.com I do so much love comments 03 October Allergy SeasonSo, once again it's allergy season. Yay! for sneezing fits, runny noses, and being so tired you can't function. Yay! for feeling hot in the coldest rooms, passing out on the floor, and life not stoping when you feel like crap.
And of course this season coincides with midterms here at the University, so of course I have to get over my feeling crappy and study for my tests and hoping that some of it sticks in my mind.
And excuse me, if I think something that's big news here is important and I want to share it with people. I mean, just because you don't care doesn't mean you need to say anything. What was that saying mommy taught you when you were little: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all", maybe people should remember that.
And excuse me if I want someone to cuddle with when I feel like crap, it's human nature. Maybe people should pretend to care!!!!
