It’s now 2009, may we see what the future beholds; for one and another. I had a good night, as it was spent with close friends and their family who are just as close. I now leave you with these delicious quotes…
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. — Edith Lovejoy Pierce
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. — Bill Vaughan
The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months! — Edward Payson Powell

The title is misleading, for the most part as today wasn’t ‘casual Tuesday’ however this Tuesday has been anything but exciting. I started the day off as any other [normal] day, rolled out of bed some time in the afternoon and started to get ready for work and passed by time with recreational time passers (heh, heh) but when it came down to it my productive evening (coming to work) was far from productive as business was slow and I ended up just clocking out at 7PM.
I do hope my night is far from uneventful; in good means, as in most cases with certain situations eventful is more so bullshit.
I’m outta here.

Merry Christmas to all the junkies of Helter.net!
It’s a day early, but I will be in jail Christmas Day so I won’t be able to send this message out tomorrow.
Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

Sorry for the lack of updates since my last one. I will be updating more once I get released next Friday the 26th at 10 AM. Things are going swell; jail is well, jail and life is not to shabby. I’m going to be getting an IBM ThinkPad soon after getting out aswell so that will allow me to update even more than usual and be mobile at the same time. I will probably not make another update until I am released entirely.

Aswell, Ibm Thinkpad
Nearly 8 months ago, I served some time in jail (nothing serious) the Judge didn’t allow me two-for-one and wanted me to get flat time. Well, as it turned out, I got two-for-one (every day you spend in jail counts as two) and worked in the Kitchen for the jail. From what I was told the Facility had more say so than the Court (or the Judge for that matter). I got released towards the end of March and a week later I obtained a job at a restaurant and in the 8 months that I’ve maintained the job I have moved up to Assistant Manager. Things were going alright, I decided to venture out with a co-worker, and try to get an appartment — well the property owner needed documentation from the Court stating that my case was closed so I went to the court to obtain these documents and it turned out I still owed $100 in probation fee’s in which I paid off that day, and it turned out that the court had no idea that I got two-for-one. The Judge setup a Status Review for the 20th of November in which we were supposed to “discuss” the matter.
Long story short, I have to do the rest of the time that I didn’t do (26 days) with work release because the Facility screwed up. Basically how this works is I get released daily to go to work. I am only allowed to work 12 hours a day, and only 6 days a week (which is fine because I have Sundays off, only because we’re not open on Sundays) but I have to pay $15 for every day I work, to the jail which in turn is $360. Not bad, but there are other attachments and things that I have going for me right now that make it a little more complicated.
As of right now, from the Facility it takes nearly an hour to get to work and I’m only given a 30 minute grace period to get to/from work back to the Facility. I’m hoping that I can talk to the Sgt. in which I’ll be dealing with and work some things out. The time I’m serving is to say the least stupid, but the county is making a pretty buck out of me for me to sit there a whole Sunday every week, and to release me for work so what do they care.
In the end, it looks like I will be released on Christmas Day.
