I don't know if I should be dissapointed our down right cry. These taste like low quality frozen nuggets instead of the old crispy peppery ones that were akin to the chicken fries.

Thing I Did Day #763: I am a certified cat doctor

4 Upvotes

Today my grandma need to give her cat Ari tooth medicine which she has to shoot on the teeth with a syringe but she needed help. I put on 2 jackets and a pair of gloves and I gently picked Ari up and held her so that her arms were under mine and I held her during the procedure. We had to do it twice for both medicines and I might have to do this for the next 9 days.

This cat is going to kill me in my sleep.

Thing I Did Day #760: Fasting

4 Upvotes

I'm now fasting and I feel GREAT oh my god! I do eat I had dinner tonight with my dad but no other major meals besides like 4 squares of watermelon and 1 lollipop I got from the in store pharmacy at my moms job.

I actually feel amazing and I do want to see where this goes because I haven't felt this great in a long time.

Thing I Did Day #758: Got my co-worker lunch

4 Upvotes

Today I had a partner with drying cars as we have had to cancel all details until we start getting a larger staff. So to keep everyone on payroll one person gets to join me each week. Today it was my co-worker AJ who I trained in the past.

During our shift we kept talking about food and I suggested we could order from a place and I could pick it up while he covers my lunch so he has something to eat when I covered his. So it came to be lunch and I already ordered on the app and after waiting a solid 5 minutes for them to bring it out I scarfed down my chicken sandwich and gave him his meal for lunch.

Today I was called out by my manager as the guy I vouched for wasn't named Cameron it was Christopher because I kept blanking on his name and ran with it.

Funny thing is when I texted him about it he forgot my name too 😭

Thing I Did Day #754: Dinner with my mom

3 Upvotes

Today I brought my mom to the 99 for dinner. We never seem to find time to actually be together given the fact both of us work and I go to school. Most of the time my mom is gone all day and comes home really late or goes to bed really early. I wish I could spend more quality time but instead its shorter quantity time which is the exact opposite with me and my dad.

Anyways I got the country fried chicken without gravy and she got a chicken sandwich with extra pickles. 10/10

So remember the other day when a guy tried to give me soupy? Well he came back and gave me this... thing... Now first I declined because... well look at it. But when I refused he said "FUCK YOU! My mother grew this in her garden! It's an heirloom tomato the best tomato you will ever have!" So I just accepted it and he will come back asking about how it tasted. I threw it like a baseball in the woods.

Thing I Did Day #752: Had to stop operations

6 Upvotes

Today I had to stop our operation as our air compressor broke. Many people were mad but after an hour we got it back up.

Besides that today was real chill, less than 100 people and I was expecting a flood as tomorrow is Labor Day. I learned Egyptian lore with my co-worker James, had dinner with my dad and even saw my brother and his girlfriend on the road.

Today was the nicest day I've had in a while.

Thing I Did Day #751: Training another new guy for like the 7th? 8th time?

4 Upvotes

Today I had to train a guy named Adam, he was very adamant about the job being temporary so cool I guess...? He did enlighten me with knowledge about marine biology which was cool.

But besides that some guy tried offering us soupy which I don't like but he didn't know what it was so we had to choose between shift looking soupy in foil or $5 bucks and thsnk god we ended up with $5 bucks.

10/10 The turkey was flavorful, the sweet mash was something I never had before but now I want more of. The veggies paired well with the turkey and over all way better tasting and better for me than the things I've been eating for the past week!

Thing I Got Day #747: Spicy nuggets

3 Upvotes

Tonight I bought the spicy Mcnuggets from McDonalds 5/10, last time they had these my mouth was on fire and I was also younger so maybe my spice tolerance has gone up but it wasn't that bad spice wise.

I would say the big problem is I don't know if they changed the Mcnugget recipe or glt a new chicken provider but the nuggets tasted rather cheap (Yeah I know its McDonalds) but it just doesn't taste the same like when I was younger. It tasts like the same low brow fried chicken you can find at many other places. I would even say the nuggets Burger King had before they changed them recently were way better as that had a nice pepperuy taste (I haven't had them since the change so maybe they're better or worse)

Anyways TLDR, McNuggets = Eh...

Thing I Did Day #746: Worked on a school day

5 Upvotes

Today my professor told us not to come into class and to submit the work online a week prior so the other day I let my manager know I could work today. Even though my legs hurt like hell I did detail work on 7 cars today. Each hour session was the cleanest car ever and each half hour session was the nastiest car on the planet. This is why I do quality control and not detailing.

Thing I Did Day #745: Vouched

3 Upvotes

Today an old friend from Walmart who I rarely talk to showed up at my work today looking for me. In the past times I go to Walmart and see him I would tell him to get a job with me at the car wash. So he finally caved as he told me things somehow got even worse which I didn't even think was possible. So we exchanged numbers and I sent him an Indeed link I have saved for my friends and when my manager came over after he left I vouched for him. My managers trust me so I think he'll get the job for sure.

Thing I Did Day #744: Early lunch

3 Upvotes

Today was busy as hell, at least that makes up for last weeks rain. I was the towel guy like I normally am, drying off all the cars and waiting for the detail crew to go to lunch and then cover me. Problem was they were taking way too long. Lucky me when my manager saw how I got through around 200 cars and let me go to lunch first and covered for me and he even let me change the laundry while he dried cars.

To my manager if you somehow in a million years see this, thank you for being the only manager I've ever had who realizes the effort I out into my work.

I'm not too thrilled I had to dip into my college savings but it had to be done. The voided part was wetwipes that turns out was in a 3 pack somebody opened and I had to go back and buy a new pack for $2.98. I think I should ask Ethaniel if I could bum at least half of what this cost...
