Maggots
Today was an eventful day, too bad I can only really remember a couple of hours of it all. Let me see, school was the only real constant thing in my day, the boring, annoying piece of shit that it is. History started off with a bang, considering I found out that Ms Herrod thinks that I'm not my "usual self". I suppose I understand where she is coming from, but it's a fact of life, I manage to find a way to disturb and "dismantle" what people think of me in an instant. That I look at it, I haven't been "myself" for a while, and I think only a very rare few have noticed (makes life so much easier, doesn't it?), other than the people who barely read my blog, I think.. only two people have noticed. Well, not really noticed, but really, noticed that I haven't been my usual self. Hm, I suppose they noticed then. Recently I've been acting more out of key for myself to see whether people would notice and say something, and so far, only Nick and Terry have said something referring to what I've been doing. Rathering shocking that only two people have said something. Concerning Ms Herrod, maybe she thinks I'm becoming suicidal. I only think that because of the way I've been explaining stuff about what happens at my place when something bad happens, and that it is always my fault and nothing else.
Anyway, I did some work on sunday, and it wasn't school work (damnit, further behind). Instead, I was helping around the house cleaning up the garden. Well, it was more like cut like 3 trees down, and I mean big trees that were in the ground and were heavy. Next I had to help dismantle (more like destroy) a pagola (I can't spell it) which had been standing for ages, only to make room for our new drive way where my car will go. Woo! So yeah, the trees that we cut down had spikes at the base, so it was a bitch to cut up, but still fun. I'm lucky, I only managed to come out with half a dozen cuts on my left hand. Of course, while doing that, I was trying to hurry up so I could go and get a IDE controller from Tech Chips which closed at like 2 pm, and we only finished at 1:30. Needless to say, I had to get money and race to nightcliff in a hurry. I get some money out and I find out that the bitch that my dad calls a car had no fuckin' fuel left, so I had to waste money on filling it up so I could get out. Grr on that.
I managed to get out there at like 2:10 only to find out that Tech Chips doesn't open on sundays anymore (their front door looked a little smashed in, so I suppose some customer got angry). I did manage to get an IDE controller, so all was not lost. So I wasted the rest of my money on paying off my amp at Harvey Norman. All doing this while driving by myself (go me!) and listening to kickfm loud. Fun fun fun. Though, seeing as I didn't have any lunch before I left, I decided to go for a drive into the city and by some maccas and drive around the city slowly, as to piss off any drivers around me. OH! I managed to nearly make another car crash though. I was driving at the back street of the city (the one closest to the water) and some car was behind me. I was only doing like 40km/h (I was eating food alright) and the stupid bitch behind me wanted to pass me. As she started to drive up behind me, I started to get faster and faster so she had to go like 40 times the speed limit (gg hyperbole), I only really did that because there was another car coming the other direction, so she was to either slow right the fuck down, or speed up like a speed demon to pass me. It was all in good fun. That whole exercise was for me to get my other hard drive running (oh and for me to go driving), but still, I succeeded in both! If you care, I now have 1/3 of a terabyte hard disk space (335GB).
So today at work, I was kind of the odd one with nothing really to do, but I felt like I was in an upbeat mood (that and there were some pretty hot girls at Kmart tonight), so I tried my best to help people out, though I could never really be happy about it. Anyway, near the end of the night, I was chosen to clean up the last few "stray" palettes out the back, which consisted mainly of chocolates and christmas stuff. Not too hard, up until I had to do the dog food. Now, before I continue, picture the bottom of your bin after it had something really meaty and old and chunky and the bin had been cleaned out. Now you see those maggots at the bottom of the bin running (I choose running, because I can see the maggots run) around trying to get food. Now, Carol (my manager) that there was an off dog food container at the bottom of one palette (I could smell it a mile away). When she meant off, she meant that the thing had exploded causing millions of ants and a whole bunch of maggots crawling around the bottom of a slab of dog food. Now replace the mental image of the maggots in the bin, to maggots on top of a slab of dog food with my feet moving one box away. EWWW. The smell was.. WOOFT. The instant I removed the top slab, I saw the maggots and I could taste their foul stench. So I was chosen to be the maggot cleaner and move the "good" dog food into a trolley, and chuck out the rotten stuff. Originally I was going to do it by hand, but Carol suggested that I used the gloves, and I decided that was a better option. Thank god for the gloves, because the cans were absolutely soaked in mouldy dog food and maggots, so fuck picking that shit up without gloves. I know that it is going to take me months before I can regain my sense of smell and taste, because I know I'm going to be constantly smelling the dog food and maggots for a while (well, I lied about the taste, because I had dinner about 15 minutes later).
Wooo, I've given you a lot to digest, so I'll let you simmer over low for a while. In the mean time, I'm feeling kind of sick at the moment, so I'll try and exasperate it tomorrow morning and get the day off to do my assignments. Hopefully I'll be able to stay home and do some assignments. I know I'm not going to be able to come out and say, "Hey mum, I need a day off to do 9 assignments, thanks!" I know she will freak and make sure she knows I've done all of them, :grr:. Hm, there seems to be a sign saying "get off the computer and sleep" now, because my mouse is suddenly dying, and no, it isn't the batteries, as I've just tried some new ones. Donkey crap shit. Time for some sleep then!
