My life update 6-12-10

Please excuse my previous vulgarities, I dont know what made me think it was an appropriate thing to say.

So i finally found the drivers for my cd drive and everything with that is working fine. Ive since moved from windows xp to windows 7 and i must say im enjoying it alot better than i thought i wouldve. The computer itself is performing as expected, it does overheat very easily but ive remedied that with an external fan. Overall it was a wise purchase as im sure ill be using it for years to come.

My grandpa is doing better, He is probably as back to normal as he will ever be. His vision is legally blind, he has a hard time remembering things. He does act differently than before but overall improved since last time i wrote.

Ive since quit my job at the local grocery store. Long story short, a guy got hired (who was friends with the general manager) who never worked in a grocery store before, with no knowledge on how the store works, came and because of him i got moved into another position. Which wasnt too bad, but after 2 weeks of him working there he got put on salary (when people who are alot better than him who have worked there for 15+ years are still working hourly), he got put a title of "manager" whilst he managed to make everyones workplace a living hell and thought he knew what he was talking about. Anyways we had it out, i ended up breaking my hand and havent stepped a foot in the place since november.

Well the girl whom i love ended up getting pregnant (which i knew would happen) and then breaking up with the guy, now shes possibly having twins ontop of her other kid while working a part time job living with her mom. Anyways i always told myself that should she get pregnant i wont try anymore. She did and i havent. She wasnt half the reason i quit the job i had (backstabbing, lier) so after november we hadnt talked again till april. Even then us talking is nothing like it was and the pleasure i had by talking or texting her has been replaced with disappointment. Never the less i havent text her once, she asked for my new phone number, and she text me twice. Anyway things are rough, will they be back to how they were before? Doubtful. Will we ever make amends? that remains to be seen.

Onto more current events. I mentioned i quit i job, im currently working for my dad in construction for roughly the same pay with half as many hours. Which is nice though it is a miserable job.

Im currently not working with him due to an injury i faced friday 6/4/10. I was chasing my cousins friday night having a good time. It was about 8:20pm dew was on the grass. Due to my occupation the tread on my shoes has worn out so they were slick on the bottom. I tried to stop running and slid, fell down. My ankle rolled inward with my full weight on it. I couldnt move my foot and was in the er in about 15 minutes. I ended up being there for 4 hours waiting a majority of the time. They wrapped it with a temporary cast and told me to go to the ortho monday.

So i did, they cut the cast off x-rayed my foot and i had broke my fibula. So they put an incredibly tight sock on my whole leg, wrapped my ankle with an ace bandage, and gave my a walking cast. With strict instructions to not walk on it and to keep my ankle elevated as it was swollen to about 3 times normal size. So im here on crutches with my foot up in the air till the 21st (ten more days) then they will tell me if i need to have a plate and screws put in or if i need the cast for longer.

Im able to remove the bandage, cast and sock at will when it starts hurting so thats nice. MY entire foot and half my leg is bruised to hell and back. The bruising hurts worse than the broken ankle. Anyways the swelling has came down alot but it is still swollen.

Onto my phone, while i was at work one day my screen cracked for no reason. IT never got bumped or nothing, i went to go get lunch and came back, the whole screen was shattered. It being a touch screen the screens pretty damn important. So i borrowed $400 from my grandma to buy a new phone. I got the phone ive wanted for awhile, iphone 3gs im satisfied with it.

My debt. I currently need to save $400 by august, pay $160 for my old phone cancel fee, pay $180 back to my grandma, pay my monthly $100 phone bill and $30 internet, my weekly $50 gas, my weekly lunch money. While only making $50 a day. I manged to work it out where i would be able to pay it all off at the end of july. However with my broken ankle my expected date to pay everything off has been pushed back considerably. Ive been stressing over them since the damn unemployment office screwed me over for 3 months. But im finally to where i dont care and am not stressing over it anymore.

To sum up what the unemployment office did, was i submitted my claim on november the 28th. I called them weekly and they were constantly saying my check will be in the mail next week. Do this till end of january when i finally get papers saying i was denied! I couldnt work in that time due to my broken hand.

Also i got me a new truck. I dont know if i posted my plans for my other truck or not. But i got the v8 i wanted with a great interior. The body has 2 rusty spots, and needs a new fender but i can take care of those no problem. Then im going to repaint the whole truck factory colors. The trucks motor is not the factory motor for the truck. Someone swapped it out for a great motor that only came in one truck for 4 years, which was made for racing. So it screams. The gas mileage is pretty good. I get 14 mpg (12 when i get on it constantly) in the city 22mpg on the highway, the v6 i had got 15mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway. My truck also has an 6 gallon bigger tank of gas. It cost me $2000 and my other truck which was a good deal.

As far as college goes its temporarily postponed.

Well thats all i can think of for now, bye :)
