THE NORTH

Posted 12-09-2009 at 09:16 AM by Mac Sirloin
I spent about an hour and a half shoveling the driveway, sidewalk and porch today. Easy 20 dollars.

It's weird, last year we got the first Snowstorm on October 23rd, and this year we got it on December 1st. Then nothing for about a week, and BOOM, huge that shitty, heavy and wet snow. I didn't have to go to co-op, though. I woke up at 8:25, and even if I'd left right then, I'dve been late. Normally being late wouldn't bother me, but my Co-op teacher has instigated a rule where if I show up after 8:30 I have to go home for the day.

I think that is is fucking retarded. I expressed this to the Manager at my placement and she agreed. I understand that being late is typically avoidable, but that doesn't account for traffic and shit. What if the bridge is closed? Goddamn.

Anyway, I'm debating on what I should spend this money on.

Lucky.

We don't even have snow here yet. What I would give for some.
The backbreaking labor that is shoveling snow would be so welcomed by me at this point.

Pennsylvania used to be snowy by late November, but thanks to our friend global warming, we're lucky to get a sum of 6 inches by mid January. So much for my Christmas spirit.
Fuck it, I'm moving to the mountains.

I have 494.00 dollars in cash in my pocket, a credit card with 2,000.00 left in my wallet, and a debit card with about 3,000.00 next to that. How much money did you say you had now?

Man, what a dick.

Also, no snow for us yet. But last night it dropped down to 17 degrees by nine PM, so I'm hopeful.

To be fair, very, very, very little of that is spendable money that isn't tied up in bills or Christmas presents. At the end of the day I have about twenty bucks.

OANST: This is 20$ apart from money I have saved for Christmas and shipping stuff out to people. I don't really need any more money than I have anyway.

Max: Co-op, or Co-operative education, is the high school program I'm in. I was enrolled in it in 2008 because my high school was afraid I was going to have a psychotic breakdown or because I had poor marks. One of the two.

Co-op lets you fulfill every non-compulsory credit for graduation in a workplace of your choosing. The compulsory courses are done separately in coursebooks. I'm in my last year, and currently at the Society St. Vincent De Paul repairing and dismantling appliances. It's my favorite placement.

It doesn't ruin my chances of going to college or University, either. Just gotta finish 3 courses and I'm golden.

Everyone jabbering about snow: I like how snow looks here. It's a cool aesthetic additive. But this heavy wet-ass shit can melt and eat a dick for all I care.

Kastere: I was just fucking with you. I was overjoyed to have 20 dollars in my pocket that I could do whatever with when I was 16. In fact, I'm still overjoyed when I have 20 dollars in my pocket that I can do whatever i want with.

MA: Seriously, though. Don't you live in Mexico?

I knew you were, but I figured I'd say the Christmas money thing anyway. Just because.

You'd sell your father for coffee beans? Also your grandparents must have been something.

It's his Spider sense. Havoc is the Hollandese Spiderman. That means he sucks.

That expains why you're so damn ugly, MA. JUST KIDDING, I THINK YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

Lima doesn't have winter, just a cool summer. And the seasons are inverted in the southern hemisphere, so they're entering summer right now. I dread the cold I'll be facing when I return.

Congrats on your bucks. Winter sounds just lovely in Canada.

Harty har har, Oanst.

The girls are all self-centered little princesses are what they are.

And yes, I'm a native Pennsylvanian, though I think I was conceived in Nicaragua. Do PA and Canada share similar winters or something?

I have missed rain and snow.

It NEVER snows here. I've only seen snow once in my whole life, in New Zealand, and it was only 10 cm deep or so.
