As The World Turns...

Well, it has definitely been an interesting weekend. On a major scale and on a personal level. I guess i'll start with the major scale...

I've been watching alot of TV after this promicin ban stuff and checking Promicin Info. There was a very interesting story coming out of Seattle. (no surprise there...) A boy about my age, maybe a little younger, took promicin and gained the ability to make anyone around him think he's the KING of the world or something. He had the whole city of Seattle almost under his command. The whole government was scared and didn't know what they were going to do about this high school kid with some kind of titan god-complex. I hated the whole situation because taking an American city under siege is NOT the way to earn any friends with the government. And that's going to give them an even BIGGER reason to keep this stupid ban. Anyways, the end to this weekend saga was actually alot simplier than everyone thought it was going to be. Mr. Jordan Collier himself just touched him and he was left ability-less. OH WOW...when i heard that i was shocked, all this time i was think Jordan had some manipulation ability and he can neutrilize promicin in positives. I WANT to believe that this is a good thing, but the pessimist inside of me keeps thinking there's so bad ahead because of that ability. Who knows?

Well, on a personal level, Friday was our first day at our new jobs. Other than dropping and breaking two plates and accidentally knocking someone's hot coffee on their lap, Nicole said it was a "good" day. Whatever that means...i think she just didn't want to admit that her first day of work really sucked. haha Xay has to have won the award for the shortest lived job, He was fired...ON THE FIRST DAY. I promise you i wanted to beat him DOWN when he came home and told me that. How do you get fired from McDonald's, you ask? Well, let me tell you the Xavier method. Show up late, insult your boss, hit on your coworkers, and mess up EVERY order you take. Then when your boss confronts you at the end of the day, trying to SAVE you and give you another chance, just shove it back in his face. That's the "Xavier Special" method to get fired. I can't believe him! But i got him back today, i woke him up at 4 am this morning with a very loud pot and a cup of COLD water. So right now he's off looking for another job and i PROMISED him that if he loses this job i would wake him up in my special way EVERY morning for the rest of his life. Muhahahaha*coughs* muhahahaha

As for MY first day, it went pretty well. It's kind of boring and i work from 9-5 every day with weekends off. Shelving books and checking out books and helping people FIND books, but it's pretty easy. I can even take my laptop to work and check my e-mail at the library. Actually, that's where i am right now writing this blog. I am pretty careful when my boss is there about going to promicin positive sites, but she's usually locked up in her office. I'll just continue to be careful. It really makes me sad that I haven't been able to practice with my ability. None of us have been able to, we've been too busy working trying to support ourselves. And after this promicin ban stuff we don't want to bring any unwonted attention to ourselves and our abilities our ATTENTION grabbers. But i just think about how much EASIER our lives would be if we could use our gifts. Nicole would have never made all the mistakes she made if she could have froze the plates before the fell or the coffee before it spilled. And I wouldn't had to run to the bus stop this morning in the pouring rain. But....THEN i guess we wouldn't be normal, huh?

I have a student needing my help....
