I’m spending this Valentines Day without eating candy. 🍫😭 Like my first one when I was a month old. And I’m pretty sure I had no teeth. I want all the bad things I can’t have like jelly candy, toffee, nougat and caramel. I’m also craving stingy meats and hard crackers.

I was watching Classic Concentration and it was a Flag Day episode. It made me think of The Simpsons “You will find true love on Flag Day”.

And I didn’t have any money to buy a stupid wacky themed outfit and post a picture of myself on the internet wearing it. Perhaps for spring/Easter. 🤷

No, this is not the title of a new tv show.

The worst part was not the surgery, but spending 2 hours waiting.

My bottom teeth that were not bothering me as much were impacted and grew sideways. The top teeth that broke through had been giving me problems. If I had dental insurance 10 years ago I would have gotten them removed.

I was not totally out of it. I didn’t do any wacky things like stick frozen waffles in DVD player. Or get scared watching tv. Like that time I had a bad fever and was watching Let’s Make a Deal like 10 years ago and was “talking” to Wayne.

I just fell alseep after The Masked Singer and felt a little better. My face didn’t swell up that much.

It was everything Eric Stefani wrote about in the song “Ache” and more.

What the title means that I should not blog tomorrow in case I forget how to blog or something or I end up writing some garbled nonsense like “hiewhiehgoehgouehguerhgeghoiegnqsnfuinge

So I went to reddit and read all the horrible thing about working for this company including ingredients giving you a rash and getting no breaks. If I was smarter I would have read reddit about the store chain that the deli I worked at belonged to and what a shitshow that company is. This restaurant chain also looks like a shitshow. Maybe I should go and ask the “hard questions” like “How long do people stay here?” “What is your turnover rate?” I’m pretty sure I’m blacklisted from the store chain that the deli belonged to.

My parents keep telling me to take the job because I need the money, but I’m still skeptical.

So on Friday I got the crazy idea to write and send fan mail. To Alex Trebek. I thought  “Why not send it? What could happen?” It was a non threatening message.

I got this in reply: “Hi (my name),

So I called the pizza restaurant I applied to but couldn’t make the orientation because it is the same day as my dental surgery. If they are willing to reschedule they are really desperate. They just told me to go on the 25th.

If you are wondering who that is. It is me. My little cousin came to visit yesterday.

She goes to the junior high I went to. I told her I’m an alum. Class of 1998. Telling her about the El Nino winter. That my junior high didn’t have any shelter for us to eat under. We shivered in the rain under a covered patio area. I got so hearty for going there. I know they were California winters. But about 2 years or so after graduating I could get by not wearing a heavy coat in the winter until like 2000.

She says a police office comes to her school and tells them not to vape and do edibles. I was trying to explain to her what DARE was. Or about how hard it was to get things in the 90s. Drugs and pornography.

I’m not like those annoying people I sort of worked with who complained I didn’t talk. Those people would talk to their own shadow if they could. I think they just liked hearing their own voice or something. Plus I didn’t complain that she didn’t talk much.

Watched Bzzz today. Now that I look at it with today’s eyes I realize how sexist and racist it was. Oh well I can still enjoy the dated fashion. Shiny shirts and platform shoes. I did enjoy this program when I was in junior high. Show how much I knew about the world back then. Stupid me!

Well my surgery is happening in less than a week. I should be a badass about it.

I have a thing that if I don’t look at things in a neurotic way I’m berating myself in some way.

I did before I after I first got it. If they don’t care then I don’t care. And the only job my school suggests of that major is insurance sales. I had been thinking of saving up at a shitty job to take the insurance sales test. Then after I can join a synth band and play bass, eat bananas, and clap poorly along to the music.

Me successful? Not in worldly ways or maybe I just keep telling myself that.

Brooklyn 99 came back. It was so funny Charles got a leather jacket. Which was funny since the jacket really did make him more confident. But he foolishly gave it away. They need to keep Charles dorky.

Another interview where I showed up and they had no idea what I was talking about. They told me to wait 20 minutes because nobody was there. I hate to be like a bitch or something but I’ve been jerked around too many times by businesses that act like this. Then I look crazy to them because I’m there asking for a job interview. I decided to have a “zero tolerance policy” on unorganized businesses. Sure I’m desperate for work, but I don’t want to deal with all that. It reflects poorly on them. Do I wanna deal with that?

The Super Bowl was ok. The commercials were so-so at best. The one I really liked was the one with Fallon and Cena in it. And the Snickers one where the people fell in the hole.

The Masked Singer was ok. It was the first time I watched a whole episode. I only did because I could not find spoilers since it was on at the same time all over.

My parents told me to ignore the red flags this place has and there are multiple ones. I don’t care what they say they give me bad job advice anyway.

Place does not open on time
Selling point of new management
They want me
Don’t have a designated interviewer
Ready to hire me immediately
Idiotic workers

Then my parents said I could be such a good worker I could save the restaurant. You don’t want me to save your restaurant. I have a better chance being burned at the stake.

This time I lucked out and the orientation is the same day as my dental appointment. (which I can’t change anyway) And it’s being held somewhere I don’t even know where it is. They gave me an address but I have no idea. Old me would have been upset but with the bad luck that follows me I’m not surprised at all.
