27 Jan 04 Your eyes shine with the greed of a misplaced tea strainer…..

Today four hours of my life were stolen from me never to return. You see as many of you know I work for a company that is sub-contracted by Disney and I work out at Disney Cruise Lines. So, once a year we have our “Annual Disney Cruiselines Brainwash Session” hosted by two Disney 'cast members' that wouldn't know reality if it stood up and slapped them in the face with a wet noodle. An hour drive there, a two hour session, and then an hour drive back is time that I will never be able to have back. The meeting consisted of watching badly edited videos of the port and the boat set to Disney theme songs, little games meant to spur our lust for knowledge of the cruise by offering mediocre prizes, group activites on par with a bad self-help group, and then we had nap time. I'm kidding about the last one but that's what they were treating us like, a room full of grade-schoolers. I mean think of a room full of drunks, beach-bums, and high school dropouts acting out little skits about “How Can We Preserve The Magical Image of Disney While Maintaining A Good Work Enviroment?” Fucking ridiculous! The only good thing is that they gave us two tickets to whatever park we want to go to, which brings my total up to five now. So who wants to go and spend a day at Epcot drinking our way around the world? Me, me!

Then off to the Clerk of Courts in order to take care of a little business concerning my license. Apparently it was going to be suspended on Feb. 10th due to an unpaid fine. As you may or may not recall I got pulled over by a pig a while back an received some tickets. One for careless driving (which I took to traffic court) and one for no proof of insurance. All I had to do to get rid of the no insurance one was go to the Clerk and show them proof and bam, it'd be gone. Well, on October 27th I did that and I thought I was all done. Well apparently I was supposed to pay a $5 dismissal fee as well, which I didn't. Why? Because nobody fucking told me! The clerk just let me walk out without paying the fee, like I knew I was supposed to. So they tried to charge me a $12 late fee as well, to which I said “Hell No!” Today's clerk told me that I must have forgotten that she told me or not paid attention to the receipt. What receipt? The previous bitch didn't give me one, so let me pay the five spot and get the hell outta this place. We went back and forth for a while until she realized that I was right. Why in the hell would I walk out without paying the $5 if she had told me I needed to? Just to make my life more adventurous and exciting? For an excuse to visit bereft and sad Titusville? I think not! So, $5 dollars later and I'm off back to Orlando.

I stopped by Best Buy and of course couldn't walk out empty handed. I picked up O' Brother Where Art Thou? and Clerks for $25 which isn't bad. Plus, when I got home my El Mariachi three pak had arrived which includes El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon A Time in Mexico. All for just $25 also. Yeah, the Best Buy card hasn't cooled down since I got it. Oh well who cares, life is debt in one form or another. Perhaps I'll just have to go 'Project Mayhem' and help us all out. Or not. Also….
