end of story - tony soprano

Today was my second day at the place where I sell plastic. Apparently I impressed my manager by selling a membership on my very first transaction. Something that he had never seen done in all the years that he worked there.
Overall its a pretty cool job. The people there are all outdoorsy people and suprisingly trekkie fans as well. Which make me right at home. One employee there said he would probably still work at the place even after he retired.. I guess now I would too.
At my other job selling paper, I feel that its also I relaxed place as well. Everyone is great to be around.
I have been doing some thinking about having two jobs. My cousin G, brought up a good point. Why not just work one job full time instead of doing two jobs. To answer this I think I am still young and I have the possibility to make money.
My game plan with these two jobs is to pay off all my debts eg loans. Then save like crazy and put a downpayment on an apartment. Then I ll start looking for a job with a non profit.
the secret is to save money, SAVE SAVE SAVE and Save.

the wonderful world of cheese

Today I went to work hungry as a bear that just woke up from hibernation. This was a dreadful mistake as I was assigned to work at the cafe. The Cafe is surrounded by all sorts of goodies.. strawberry cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake, blueberry cheesecake, strawberry n lemonade smoothies. the list goes on.
I am surprised I made it through with out drooling on any of the food. According to the others, you ll get sick of seeing it after a while. Which is true because all of the stuff is generic and under mass production. Simply put preservatives, sugar, salt and artificial flavors. And just to think we all get employee discounts...haha.
I guess it was just a typical day at the cafe, note scrubbing bubble gum off of dishes is purely disgusting. Just because its georgetown does not mean people can treat us cafe workers like this. But being a manly man that I am, I scrubbed all the dishes anyway. I am an animal!!!
Tmr I have cafe again, I wonder what will happen this time.

Two birds w one stone

For almost six months I was not working, now I have two jobs. I decided it would be in my best interest that I protect myself and others by refraining from mentioning the names of businesses I work for. One reason, people can find my website easily and it could be someone from my work reading it.

Therefore I will just say that at one job I sell plastic and the other job I sell paper. Soon I ll be blogging the endless stories of random customers that come to the store to shop. One of my friend's mentioned I should probably write a book on my experiences and sell it. hahah.

Stay tuned !

The Many Falls of Paul

About an hour ago, I was laying on the floor and I grabbed a toilet paper roll to blow my sore nose. As I put my head back, I smashed it onto the corner edge of the radio that was on the floor. I touched my head, and I felt warm blood ooozing everywhere.
I did what was most important first, I applied pressure with my hand and went to find my mom. Note, this is one good reason to live w your parents, readers!
My mom said it was a tiny cut and I just would have to keep my hand on my head for a while, well now it feels like a very long while, I feel fine, but my head does not.
This incident has persuaded me to provide a narration of the many falls of Paul.

1. Some party at my third grade teachers house, we were playing chase w the teacher's husband. I smashed my forhead into the door and ended up in the ER. I think my third grade teacher's husband felt really bad, he kept apologizing.

2. I was in Ajloun at my grandmother's place. amd there was this HUGE fig tree. This tree was fun, because it was easy to climb. And what else would you do in a place where you had no tv, you would play ofc. So I am sitting in the tree, and for some reason I fall. fortunantly I fell onto the steps rather then the hill.

3. Me and my cousin fadi, we were running around with our Dad's rifles acting like soldiers. Why our parents let us play w rifles is beyond me. The rifle was like four times bigger then me and I was carrying it on my back. Apparently i lost my balance and hit my forhead on a rock and rifle hit the back of my head.

4. I was on a sesaw ( sp ) w my sister and fell right off. I don't remember what happened w that one. But I remember portions of it.

5. I went un -conscienceless for like thirty seconds. I was taunting my bro in law to wrestle w me and he threw me like a ragged doll and I hit the floor at sixty miles per hour. He wasnt a bit sorry...lessoned learned dont taunt your brother in law.

7. Again me and fadi where at my cousin hana's house. Fadi was being macho and held me upside down, I was afraid of falling ( who wouldn't ) so I hung onto his pants. He thought I was going to pull them down so he dropped me. It hurt quite a bit, but as far as I know me and Fadi are still the best of friends. We laughed.

8. Caving trip in 2004, I remember writing a whole paper on this. I have to find it and post it. Basically I slipped over a ledge and hit the back of my head then my helmet came off and hit the front of my head. It was a crazy experience and everyone was shocked that I just got back up and was like I gotta find my glasses. Amazingly in pitch darkness, someone found them. I still have the glasses and they still work pretty well. After that had happened, we had to keep going. To keep myself going to remembered the motto used by the doc that told my parents that I would never walk, talk or do anything a normal person could. I had to complete the challenge and i did. I ended up w three stitches and spent alot of time having to pee on the way back home.

All in all, I am still here today. According to my parents, they have lost count of the falls that I have had. Instead of rushing to my aid, they just throw me a pack of ice and say put some pressure on it. You' ll live.

From this I have concluded, that there is a purpose for me to be here or I would ve been gone along time ago.

April Fool Jokes and sarahsarah

On April First 2007, I made an eager attempt to accomplish as many April fool's pranks as possible. The best one was on my neighbor who very detail oriented.

This is how it went down, seeing that both my nieghbor and her husband were not home. I called her on her cell phone. I explained that I saw a rather large U-haul trunk standing out side of her house. And there were two suspicious people walking out with things like their big screen TV and their dog. My neighbor was quickly responded, " Paul go out there and get me the license plate number!" I responded by saying how I don't want to put my life in danger... but I ll do it for the sake of their dog Lindsey. Not that I care at all for their dog, but it had to be done. So I quickly gave my neighbor the following letters and numbers A P R I L 1 s t. Then my neighbor said she ll call me back, MISSION accomplished! Seconds later my neighbor called back and said Paul you are good!

I guess I am good, aren't I. However,my sisters room mate did this prank that had all her other room mates going nuts. All of my sisters room mates had gone to DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival except for Dan. Dan had work and was upset that he couldnt go w them. In revenges he decided to remove all the light bulbs for their apt. That totally beats the best prank of the year.

Moving from April fools pranks, my friend Sarah flew into DC for an interview at GW for Grad school. From everthing she told me, it sure makes me motivated to get out there and get an awesome job. Thus I am going to try harder in my job search. Also I sent my resume to my proff who said Ishould make some changes, which I seem to agree with.

In addition sarah and I had a blast, even though we walked, and walked and walked and walked from the Mall in downtown DC to Georgetown. At night we ended up meeting her friend at the Diner ( best Resutrant in DC people ). And he told us all these hilarious stories about people who went there. I am starting to think I should write a book on it.

Here are one of the stories that had me laughing so hard. Apparently this dude has long hair, a goatie and is like huge. One night this guy was drunk and they had to kick him out. So one of the waitresses asked him to tell the guy to leave. He walks up to the drunk guy and tells him to leave. The drunk guy is like you are Jesus man, you cant make me leave, Jesus loves people etc. Then he was like you idiot, I am jew, you offended me now get the hell out. Note, Jesus was a jew.. but you get the idea.

There were other stories that had me laughing all night. I m glad that I got to hang out Sarah even though I dont see her much ( well, Paul she does live on the West coast). It was good to get to meet up with her again. Until next time.
