After viewing the documentary why we fight (a more comprehensive version of what m papers eventually came to be) combined with the news reports of the investigation of BP through its executive, I have come to realize the inefectuality of the individual in the system we have all taken part to develop. The human condition of being a rational creature causess us to reach ends that effectively cause misery but are rationally unavoidable to individuals. The amount of consideration and incovienience demanded of an individual to avoid such sitations would be eqaully of more oppressive that the ones that we currently perpetrate. No matter the insititution or individual, the appeals of interest are nearly always identical to some sort of self profit, whether it be forones self or for ones percieved benifit to humanity. The actions of an individual in any situation are rationally limited, very few if any take the irrational responses. This does not necessarily mean that human nature is as evilas...

What does it take to get somewhere in life, and is it really necessary? I am not apathetic, but the twinge of quite desperation seems like an inescapable spectre, even in the times when I try to "relax" it rears its grey-green head. I'm sure that this feeling will haunt me till I'm old, especially to someone of mediocre talent such as myself. Knowledgeable and somewhat clever, but not consistent enough to amount to anything. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment, millions of others in the world have lived their lives in this manner. Having talents that shine at times, only to find that they're mediocre in the grand scheme. What's it take to escape this whining anxiety? It would be an interesting study to see how much the fear of mediocrity pushes those in the upper ranks of any respective field. If one were to grow up in the U.S among equals, they would understand what this feels like. Success abound but none for you, unless you throw away everything that...

Today was another hell day at work. I got in at 5:02 pm, two minutes late, and left at exactly 1:45 am. I had a near thirty minute break from 9:47 to 10:15. 4h45m+3h30m=8h15m x 9.0/h= 75.60$ Before I even clocked in, my work day started with a letter that I will now transcribe with descriptive excerpts in parenthesis. I will also type it down to the finest possible detail that I can and will keep the hard copy in case its needed for reference. Andy, (this is written in pen over white out of Will's name) You really need to do something about Saturday nights. If you can't get done what needs to get done I will need to find someone else to work that shift. Every Sunday I get a message from the morning crew stating that things are not getting done on Saturday nights. Here is a list of what was left for me on Sunday morning.... 1 Front counters note wiped down 2 Tables not wiped down 3 Ice cream mix not filled - left empty 4 Front drawers not filled with fries 6 Ho...

Typing all of your thoughts as fast as you can has a theraputic propoerty to it. now ionly if i could type fast and sccurate. and as fast as i could think i would kick osome serious ass in everything. not only arem y thought slinear, but theiry aloso sequential, usually following the format of an outline without needing one. this is the cauwesed by me writing so long ont using wrtiten outlines and iinstead writing off the ltop of myhead. problem is i write even shitteir than i type.

Nuger's gather 5 sources and write a paragraph about each on how the source is relevant to the topic. The Catologue project, making a couple pages of a mock sales magazine containing, duct tape, fancy zero grav cups, treadmills, artificial gravity installments, solar panels. Reading for ethics, and writing up and printing out the case study, catch up with an extra missed article at a time.

I've never really appreciated the importance of keeping any form of journal in keeping track of specific events in my life. But after this last hellish weekend I realized how important it is to document as much as reasonably possible beyond work. Never before have I seen such good friends turn on eachother so fast due to individual egotism and incompetence.

Though I am recollecting a few days after the events at my work, I can assure any reader that they are all accurately described, and that other employees and customers can recall the events. The day was another insane one, with over five parties each orderiing a number of pizzas. The difference this time was that carol was the mid shift to help out amanda and me, and worked with us from roughly noon til the parties we over. The party attendants were overworked, and shawn (or saun) particularly seemed like he was having a hell of a day being cross assigned to do some work of the customer service. Regretfully I did not mention my hours being shaved to Carol, but then there was another occurence this shift. When Carol was working with us, there was easily over twenty dollars in tips in our tip jar. when she she left we had only ten. Amanda and I again didn't take tip, becuase there was nothing to split. I really need to report these occurences to a more official source.

I can now say that my work is shaving my hours. I got paid 7.5 for last weeks shift. Amanda and Shawn witnessed my worked hours and my pay check. Shawn said that management cut ten hours from his paycheck, so I guess hours manipulation isn't unheard of here. I'll bring it to their attention next week that I work. There were no time cards, so i wrote my shift hours on a time card after my shift was completed. Happy Birthday Amanda! I didn't look at my schedule this week, but two weeks ago I was scheduled to work 9-5A.M. I'll call in and get my schedule later this week.

Today was chaotic and crowded at work. The day started off with everything well stocked and clean, but almost instantaneously descended into overdrive. We had at least 5 parties and what would be considered a busy day. Sharon refused to help us at around 1p.m so we had to tough it out for a good hour dealing with party pizzas and a large amount of orders. Eventually all of the party attendants and Nate started helping us due to us being to overwhelmed. Luckily Dre came in before his scheduled shift to help us. Amanda and I were still to busy to take our breaks, at all times of the shift. We both worked a full eight hour shift, with no breaks, and left our tips in the jar. The tips totaled at least 14 dollars on a conservative estimate for our shift. the total revenue was probably over a thousand dollars our shift. The schedule said that I will work from 9 A.M to 5 P.m for the next two weeks to come. will witnessed me looking at the schedule. After the shift I have an aching pain in my...

today Carol called me and left me a message this morning saying that she needed me to come in for both morning shifts Today I called her and told her that I can not do any shifts this weekend due to family obligations in southern california. The scedule currently shows that I work from 9-5 saturday, and 8-4 sunday. Today I worked from 458 to 1245 with a 30 min break. 7 hours seventeen minutes. Last week I worked from 9-11 on new years day 2 hours with time and a half (quoting mike, and Carol). also from 453 to 1253 with a 30 min break, also 7hours and 30 minutes. total time=16hrs, 47 min.

Since self documentation is not the most accurate reference point, I might as well place it in a public medium to accurately document all of my possible editions of what is happening in my life. Sometime about a week and a half ago, my boss Carol, called me and asked if I could work new years eve. She did so by leaving a message on my phone specifically stating that if I had any questions "not objections" that I am to call her. She said New Years day nine A.M. The call was before Christmas, and I worked on the day after,Saturday, closing shift 5:00-sometime after midnight. (I also have evidence that my hours are being rounded down on my paychecks, but this will be addressed later, with more precise evidence in the future.) I checked the schedule, and it had the same routine schedule on it as before, with me working from 5-close on the following saturday, I reasoned that since Carol had so recently created the schedule that she did not add the specific New Years hours she men...
