December 5, 10:30 pm - I went over to Emmett today to help my Dad decorate his Christmas tree. It was nice to spend the day together since we never get to see eachother anymore. Awww, I love you Daddy! Other than that, my days have consisted of wrapping billions of presents. My thumbs actually hurt from tearing the tape off the roll so many times!

December 7, 11:24 pm - Sunday is going to be really crappy because there are going to be two insert packages in the paper. The regular Sunday papers are bad enough. I drop the stupid things all the time...and that's with only one insert package. What the hell do they think is going to happen when I try to carry two of the damn things?!? Well, I'm done ranting, so I guess I can go organize my new support group now: SHA (Small Hands Anonymous).

December 8, 1:33 pm - I noticed something interesting on my route this morning. Someone had gone around the entire subdivision vandalizing those decorative reindeer that light up. Some were broken and others were in "interesting" positions, if you know what I mean. It really pissed me off to think that someone would do something like that. I just don't get people anymore. I mean, what was the point? Did it make them feel powerful to break plastic reindeer or something? It's like, get a life you loser. Do they think they're cute or funny or something? It's not funny, it's not cute and I am so fucking tired of shit like this happening. There's no respect for anything anymore and I'm sick of it...and could somebody PLEASE give me an amen?!?

December 11, 11:45 pm - Just to warn you, this is going to be a really long entry. So much has happened today that I barely know where to begin. Okay, here it goes. First, I've been on cloud nine because I've been getting HUGE tips. Second, one of my customers gave me a present (butter toffee). Third, we have a new "temporary" drop-site. The new location is at the Hastings on Fairview. Feel free to come and stalk me sometime. Fourth, there are two districts at the new site which adds about ten more people to the group. This is really, really annoying. Fifth, when I got to the site this morning there were five cop cars with their lights going. It felt like a bad episode of Cops or something. After I parked, I was pretty certain they were going to come over and "investigate", and they did. He was the cutest cop ever! Sixth, I met another one of my customers. I'm telling you, my subdivision has the coolest people. I love my job! Seventh, I got paid the other day. Eighth, I've decided that whether forecasters are the biggest losers in the universe. I don't know anyone who gets things wrong as often as they do. Ninth, I can't run on the route anymore. The driveways and sidewalks are getting too slick. I hate it because it's hard to get done on time when you have to "walk like a granny" to every house so you don't fall and break your ass. And tenth, I found out how to take a day off once in a while. It's crappy though because subs make like, double what we make per paper. So, while it is possible to take a vacation, you get screwed in the process. And yes, I realize that getting screwed while on vacation is usually a good thing, but not in my case...dammit.

December 12, 3:00 pm - The genealogy records that I ordered from the Social Security Administration arrived today!

December 15, 11:57 pm - As I was happily putting the papers together this morning, some really ignorant guys drove by the drop-site yelling "WHITE POWER". Extremely pissed, I responded by raising my fist and shouting "DUMBASS POWER" back at them. This was followed by clapping from my fellow carriers. Just a reminder: Idaho is too great for hate!!!

December 16, 9:46 pm - I got another present from one of my customers this morning. It's a $20 gift certificate to Fred Meyer. I literally walked away from their house hugging it!

December 17, 3:58 pm - Gosh, I got yet another gift today. It's basically a whole bunch of candy and a really nice card. I think there might be a conspiracy to make me fatter than I already am...hehehehe!

December 25, 6:00 am - Merry Christmas!

December 31, 5:09 am - After this morning, my hair is a gigantic frizzball that looks like it has a couple of bird nests in it. Stupid wind, why can't it wait until after I'm done delivering papers to blow in a freakin' tornado? Okay, now that I'm done bitching I want to take the time to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Don't party too hard, I know I will...I mean won't...cough, cough.
