Ice Ice Baby, Dun dun dun dundun dun dun

Ask and ye shall receive. Apparently that's true. My previous post asked for someone to work for me so that I could go to Des Moines, and sure enough I just got back from Des Moines this afternoon. I didn't even lose any hours in the deal, it worked out fantabulously.

Today at work is what I'm going to call, "The Craziest Night at Copp's Food Center EVER!" Here goes...

First off, I got to work and it was really really dark out. Like, we're all going to die due to the ominous clouds, kinda dark out. So we kept randomly going outside to see what the weather was like, mostly because we didn't want to be there and were hoping that the power would go out. Well, the last time we went out there as the storm was going away, Brian, the Manager on Duty tonight, came out behind us to see what we were doing. There was a fire somewhere nearby, most likely from the lightening, and we could hear sirens. Brian made the comment, "I wonder if one of those is our ambulance." Both Andy and I looked at him inquisitively. To which he replied, "I'm 95% sure I just touched a dead guy." Yeah, that's right, an old guy died in the bathroom at work tonight. The police and paramedics were there for like 3 hours and we were trying to keep it quiet from the customers, they all had to use the women's bathroom. It was crazy. I have no idea how to describe it, it was just so weird to know there was a dead guy on the other side of that door. I don't think I'll ever be able to use that bathroom again.

On a lighter note, the next 2 weeks are going to be awesome, I'll just keep thinking about that...

Have a nice summer!

EC in the summertime..

In theory it's a good idea. No parents, lot's of money from work. Take some extra credits. WRONG! The reality of it all is that until the two of my room mates that are staying for the summer return, I'm going to be bored out of my mind! I've looked in the fridge like 50 times in the last 10 minutes. I watched a movie that was a good way to kill a couple hours, but I just keep thinking, until I start class monday, what can I do in my spare time?? So, any ideas, let me know. Let's see what you guys can come up with, just post them as comments, it'll be a game. We'll see who can come up with the best idea for what Ryan should do when he's bored. Have a nice summer!

RIP Mitch

Mitch Hedberg was found dead in his hotel room yesterday morning. What a sad day. December 27th 2003 David, Mark, and I went to the Rosemont theater in Rosemont, IL. Very near to Chicago. We had tickets to see Lewis Black, Dave Attell, and "Special Guest." I don't think any of us knew who the special guest was, until he was announced. That was probably the coolest part of the trip, not only did we get to see Lewis and Dave, but Mitch Hedberg as special guest. I'm so glad we got to see him. If I remember correctly David and I were going to see him again, but it didn't work out. Now I really wish that would've worked. Anyway, I would like to commemorate this as Mitch Hedberg weekend. I'll put a random Mitch Hedberg joke up as often as I feel like doing. At least one per day. What a terrible loss to the comedy community, you'll be missed.

So, I just woke up at 11:19 or so. Which is only 49 min. late for class. and only 40 min. left in class. So i figured, by the time I found some clothes and put them on, and ran down there, walked up the three flights of stairs, there would probably only be 10 or 15 min. left. So i just went on my computer. And Adam was logged on in the lab that our class is held in, so he let me know what was going on. Well andyway, I gotta work tonight 4-12, and I'd just like to congratulate Tara on single handedly defeating the giant cricket type thing that even shadow (her cat) was afraid of. I didn't like it much either, but it ran away from me, so I couldn't kill it. In other news... I need to put up a new Fun Fact so here goes... Fun Fact #2: Americans, on the average, eat 18 acres of pizza a day. Have a nice summer!
