top things that suck about me working all the time

I suspect you don't care what sucks about me working nights all the time but I will tell you anyway.

top things that suck about Luke working nights all the time...

1. Movies: everyone else goes to the movies with each other all the time and it is always at night and I can never go except by myself during the day. I seriously cannot find someone to go to The Departed with which isn't a huge deal while the movie is playing but it is nice to have someone to say stuff to afterwards like "personally I liked it"(if it was good) or "what the f was going on there at the end" (if it was a confusing movie) or even "do I smell because I am too numb to know if I craped my own pants" (if it was The Descent history's most horrifying movie)
instead I have to wander into the duke and say stuff like "hey everyone I just watched _________ today.... It was pretty good." then hopefully one of my co-workers will be like "hey I saw that yesterday I also thought it was pretty good" but you can see how it is not the same.
regardless I feel like the last male between 17 and 40 to see the departed in the entire city. If you are a male b/w 17 and 40 in Toronto who also hasn't seen the departed then please feel free to NOT EMAIL ME about going.

2. Actually most of the time I prefer working nights.
I guess I am just pissed that I have to see the departed by myself

3. Aren't you supposed to be getting a blood test right now?
well technically I am about 5 days over due on that one.

4. WTF
there is actually a couple of factors at play here the main one being that giving blood is one of the least pleasant things I could imagine doing and tell me here if I am wrong that the medical establishment has collectively shit the bed on the whole bloodgiving protocol but first lets quickly explore some other unpleasant things I could do this afternoon.

1. Listen to a 20 year old talk about the belt she got at the goodwill (her favorite store!) for 10 straight min while the guy with her keeps nodding like "your preaching to the choir! I also am an annex young person who likes the goodwill"
I guess I already kind of did this last night.
Imagine being an actual poor person who has to shop at the goodwill beside this girl as her and her friends uncover yet another treasure in thier favorite store.
I feel like it would be annoying in the same way it would be annoying if you were one of the bears who had to live with that guy from grizzly man and he is like "harmony and nature and stuff" and then you would be like "im a starving bear get away from me".
That is right everyone i go to the value village too but it is not alright to visit the value village and run around laughing and screaming across the store how you found the the perfect pants for your ubiquitous Halloween pimp costume. Actual poor people shop here and I am guessing they don't appreciate you screaming to "kegstand" 3 aisles over that "you cant believe how cheap all this shit is!!"

also I probably didn't mean to indirectly compare poor people to bears.

also do you know that Halloween 2006 is coming up.
now there was probably some really cool guy in NY dressing as a 70s pimp for Halloween in the mid 80s but for our purposes pimp costumes started popping up on mass in your town probably in 1996 and it was pretty funny for everyone which is why people started having pimps and hos parties and stuff like that but now it is 10 years later and the 9th anniversary of this annoying me and 4 out of 5 annex fratboys will probably still go as pimps again this year. This shouldn't bother me but here we are so lets go on google images and see if I can find some examples of why it does...

hmmm... This guy isn't really that annoying, and i am impressed by how cheap his costume looks, lets try again....

ok so the problem here is that they have confused "pimp" with "black person" so there costumes are kind of just getto cliches but with pimp details hence the afro wig. unsatisfactory.

that is better I can really feel his ridiculous smugness at having combined the 70s pimp hat with the 80 multifinger ring. no one is sue why he is wearing mardi gras beads. can we improve on this....?

JACKPOT!!! Now this really summarizes all of the dislikeable aspects of choosing pimp as your Halloween costume. I dare you to email me and tell me that you would want this guy at your halloween party, I DARE YOU. ( I would like to apologize for singling this person out if he is actually handicapped) I think his friends is supposed to be a pimp as well somehow.

hmmm we are really off track here. I believe that we were discussing other unpleasant ways I could spend my afternoon as a comparison to the unpleasant act of giving blood samples to the doctors which apparently I took as a vehicle to complain about a complete stranger who mildly annoyed me last night at futures bakery (I had a piece of cherry apricot pie, it was delicious) and then moved on to peoples boring halloween choices.

maybe we should grab the reigns a little

2. (on the list of other potential unpleasant ways to spend this afternoon) overhearing people say mean things about you....

this didn't happen to me recently but it is really unpleasant and made more so by compelling you to decide whether to continue listening or not.

3. Getting cornrows or flatbraids...

it is basically just someone pulling your hair as hard as they can for an hour

4. This list sucks lets just agree that there are a lot of unpleasant ways to spend an afternoon including traveling to the doctors so that an unsympathetic nurse can pull 5 tubes of blood out of your body each tube being roughly the size of my finger. I know it will be 5 tubes because I know now to spy on how many little boxes the doctor checks off on the my patient needs a blood test form and also I know that they are the size of my finger because I can see them being changed and filled up before I almost pass out. Why cant they just pull one small tube and then divide it into 5 even smaller tubes themselves? Don't they use a microscope at the blood lab? Shouldn't then the necessary amount of blood be "any amount"? Is it just some guy holding my massive blood tube up to a light and looking for stuff?

anyway I have yet to pass out giving blood samples but I have been pretty jumpy lately so maybe someone taking 5 blood samples out of my arm which are collectively the size of my hand will finally do the trick for my ultimate clinic embarrassment. It will probably go something like this...

me: what happened

nurse: you passed out giving a routine blood sample. Would you like some water?

me: heh heh I suppose you never get used to grown men passing out when they have to give blood.

nurse: its actually not that common.

me: you would think that they would give you smaller tubes...

well I have pretty much decided to put off bloodwork till tomorrow but I will keep you posted.
