Forgot to mention yesterday... about my mom and her being late. She called me back right after I talked to my dad; she had a terrific suggestion: lock Thomas in the bedroom with James; she'd be right over. Yeah, I'm going to lock my children in their bedroom and leave the friggen house. Is she insane?! God, I really hope she didn't do shit like that to me when I was that young... I don't recall anything like that, but I was fairly ignorant when I was little. Hell, I'm still ignorant to this day.

Man, payday sucks when you know you aren't going to get paid. On another work-related note, my shift had a meeting with the new plant manager yesterday. Seems like he's going to be a hard-ass. Which is actually what this company needs. Alot of people don't seem to like him, but I think its because he's cracking down on what alot of people have been taking for granted. Like... not working. And smoking. It seems that some people have been taping over the button that opens the security door from the inside so they can get back in without using their keycard. And then leaving the tape on the button after they come back in. D'oh. If you are going to be sneaky, remember to remove the evidence, at least... jeez. And now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to see if we have any chicken noodle soup or somesuch.
