Another one

Hello, I'm going to have to keep this short, as i dont have a job yet. and my mom is doing what she can to keep my dad from finding out that i wake up at 11. my dad really really wants me to work, and i really really dont want to do anything, so its a constant battle. but i called some people and did some applications. we'll see where that goes. I take the steps to appease my dad, and then one day i get slammed with a job. well i know i wont be working for any libraries here! I went to the Garden City library because its about 3 minutes from my house and they said they werent hiring but they knew the Boise Public Library was wanting more help, so i drove the 20 minutes or whatever to get there, and I asked the info desk for an application. They told me that they only do online applications. So i got on one of the library computers (which i swear were built before 1990) and by the time i finally found their website (not the one the librarian told me to go to) i found out that the computers did not have Acrobat Reader, and so I couldnt print or even look at the application. So it took me an hour with the forty mnute round trip (through traffic) and the twenty wasted minutes on their junktastic computers to get no job. I was thrilled. And I decided that while I was there I would try and find a good book, but the library isnt quite as big as I remember it. I really really miss the BYU library. Its my friend. Boise wants to kill me.

So, anyway... Today is Greenery Day, Moment of Laughter Day, and National Shrimp Scampi Day. Good times, good times...

And im going to skip the quotes today, so that i dont have to look for them. i only get a few per day or else i run out, and ive been cheating and going over my limit lately, so maybe tomorrow i'll do some good ones.

I'm going to start typing up the Stud List first ed. tonight, so if you have any names for submission, this is your last chance. get them to me today, or forever hold your peace. That is all.
