Oh please. Eat me.




I really, really, really wanted to order a pizza tonight. I really did. I also really, really, really wanted to order it online to ensure accuracy and complete order customization. I really did. But, I didn't.

Look at me saving money by not spending it shamelessly online. And my bills are paid. On time, even. Except for Sprint and they can eat a dick.

I'm not getting into that whole mess right now. Anyone reading should be at least mildly aware of my Sprint loathing. Wow, I really hate them. My bill is now $150. That's for two months of service. They won't disconnect me until I pay them so I simply won't ever do that again. Problem solved. Everyone's happy.

Anyway, I'm only mildly convinced that the delivery driver could find my apartment so it's all for the best really. Also, my porch light doesn't work. Since I don't anticipate visitors, I don't see that as much of a problem until I consider food delivery personnel. They're people, too.

I have over fourteen hours until I have to report to the job, so I'm going to finish rummaging through my shit and trying to organize or dispose of it. I'm also going to do another couple loads of laundry since I found more forgotten articles of my wardrobe packed in with my reports and office supplies. I'm not a very rational house packer, but I'm fast as hell. I have more experience than anyone else ever could. It's an art and I specialize in abstract by the metric ton. Think I'm being redundant with that term? Wrong! Observe:

"Because of the similarity in pronunciation — and in some circles, spelling — there can often be confusion between a short ton, a long ton, and a metric ton. In general, in the metric-using world the term ton or tonne alone will be used to refer to a metric ton, while the distinction long ton or short ton will be used to refer to the measure of the standard or Imperial system. In the United States, the term ton will be used to refer to a short ton, although in some industries — such as freight — a ton may be assumed to be a long ton. The term metric ton is then used to distinguish the metric unit. As a rule of thumb, it is a good idea to distinguish which unit of measurement you intend, if there is any doubt that your listeners might misconstrue your meaning." WiseGeek.com

Score one for semantics.

I ate roast beef, peas, and mashed potatoes with gravy for dinner. I wish I had pizza.

I should clarify that meal was re-heated left-overs from the day previous.

Hyphen, hyphen, hyphenation.

Not as good as 'cold pizza for breakfast', but it was better than 'hotel vending machine scavenger'.

I have a highly specific food rating scale.
