Since I missed bowling last week because of the weather, I was really looking forward to tonight. I was hoping the roads would be in at least decent driving condition. I knew they would still suck because of the ice, but I thought I'd try. Right off the bat, I knew there was going to be problems. Turning onto Edgewood, there were cars stuck on the hill. My car wasn't doing too bad. That is, until I had to stop because of some other cars stuck on the hill. Needless to say, trying to get going again was damn near next to impossible. I was working it as hard as I could without damaging my already piece of shit car. I didn't want to kill my transmission, although the red fluid beneath my car tells me it's already in some pain. Anyway, I was sliding in one spot on the hill. I about had it when this truck starts backing up. And backing up. And it's still backing up. I wasn't sure if it was going to hit me or not, so I was backing up just in case. I had plenty of room since the other stuck people were pretty far behind me. Eventually, the truck stopped and the guy got out. He asked me if I wanted a tow to the top of the hill. It was an old guy and his wife in a Silverado with a tow rope. I said sure, and he towed me up. He ended up towing four or five people up to the top of the hill. It was pretty awesome of him to do that.

Bowling SUCKED. I really wish people would change their damn shoes before they go into the pit area. Otherwise the pit area is full of water, sand and salt. Those really fuck up your shoes. It also makes you fall on your ass when you go to slide. I only bowled two games because I couldn't slide at all. Every time I tried I thought I was going to kill myself.

I still don't know about Aegon. I think it's too big of a company for me to be happy at. I also don't think I'm terribly good at my job. I know I've only been there a week, but I don't think I'm that good at it. I don't see myself being as fast as everyone else there. There's SO MUCH to learn and I don't know what kind of learning curve they're expecting. I actually said the same thing my first week at Kenwood, and that ended up working out. The people are really cool, so that's a plus. I'm supposed to be scanning this week. This doesn't particularly excite me. The main reason being because they all told me that the day after a holiday (our particular division is closed whenever the stock market is closed. I didn't know the markets were closed on President's Day) is crazy busy. That's a real good idea. Have my first day scanning be when there are mountains of work to do.

As mentioned above, my car still blows. It used to be so awesome, too. :( Trying to get it decent while trying to afford Hawaii is going to be fun. And by fun, I mean it's going to suck my will to live. But I'm going to Hawaii if it kills me. And it just may.
