Dante's Seventh ring of hell revisited.

I roll out of bed, still hazy with exhaustion, I open the door and step out into the Mountain View Trailer Park. My clothes are in different stages of cleanliness, and I think I forgot to shower last night. No matter these laid back country folk wouldn't notice anyway. I spew gravel out behind my tuck as I pull onto a redneck backwoods highway. Only a few miles to work stuck behind some knob job going ten miles an hour under under the speed limit. I arrive at the slaughterhouse of a grocery store to find that their "low price gasoline" is going to push back that root canal I need for another few months. The electricians are reminicant of rats, not only in their looks, which were like tiny hideous rodents trying to squeeze out a pellet, but their demenor as well, huddling in corners giggling with each other. The refrigeration guy , who looks like he might be a retired clown, starts out all his complaints with "Hey I'm not trying to bitch here, but...". The Superintendant Couldn't fight his way out of a burning paper bag with an ocean of water. He is rolled over by the other tradesmen there like a high school floozy by the football team. Then decides that to make himself look like he might have some small amount of control over the myriad of failure that is this job he takes outhis frusterations on me. Thats ok though I'm only sitting on the edge of a pit, which the edge's are ringed with cold partially dried grease from the "gourmet wok" which also is ringed with an inch of grease, digging through sandstone until my hands bleed.

Sadras, Netflix, Deppe's, and Flippen cars

So we have been traveling from eugene to madras to work the graveyard at a safeway, remodiling it. The job kinda sucks but we are getting close to done. The electricians on the jobs are assholes, the superintendant is an idiot, and everyone else is somewhere in between. Except for the temp workers there working for the general contractor which is kinda wierd. So Frankie has dubbed Madras now as Sadras becuase it makes us :(

I have been a member of netflix for a while now and i am loving it. I am watching a series right now called the up series. It follows some children from England at the age 0f 7 and then again at 14,21,28 etc... I'm on 35 right now i'll watch it tonight.

The deppes are moving to portland= bad for us, good for them. I am gonna miss them. I'm glad its not too far though.

I also joined the club of idiots who have rolled their cars. Although in my case I rolled Stephen's toyota truck up on the Santiam pass. It was pretty amazing I have never been in a really bad accident before so I was pretty shaken up for most of the day. The funny thing is i remember thinking shit steve is gonna be pissed as i was hanging upside down. Then i called him like 30 seconds after the accident and was like yea i'm fine but i totalled your truck. I also thought about trying to flip it over, as it was on its side, and try to continue driving. Anyway my life has been interesting lately.
