Dentist Visit in 9 minutes
Got off work and went straight to the dentist. I sat for about 15 seconds in the waiting room until the called my name.

I went with the lady who's cleaned my teeth since I got teeth and she x-rayed them. I asked her about the x-ray machine, and then we proceeded to the 'chair'. She tilted me back and began scraping my teeth, all the while asking me questions and almost expecting me to respond even though she has 7 fingers in my mouth.

She finishes the bottom row and notices the dentist walk past. She says, "Greg, can you check him?"

"Yeah, okay."

She takes off her gloves and says, "He's going to check you, I'll be back in 5 minutes to finish up." The dentist then comes in and begins his check. He asks if I've had any trouble, I clearly have not. He says, "Whelp, nothin' new. You're good to go."

A different lady comes in and removes my bib, rights the chair and gives me a toothbrush, floss and paste. She gives me a bunch of papers and says, "Give these to the ladies at the desk on your way out. Everything looks great."

I look at the papers, then at my new toothbrush, smile at the lady and say, "Thank you very much." I got lost on the way out, of course, but I was done.

9 minutes. No joke. While I didn't get all of the cleaning I was supposed to, can't I just clean them myself?

Does anyone else notice that it's 50 degrees outside? I drove home from work with my window open. Nice.

Today I served a group of 13 people. Everything went wrong with their food and their drinks, but I still made buttloads. My most profitable day at work ever was $165. Didn't I just make $160 playing cards the other day? Man, I gotta quit this job.

Okay, so I'm a geek. But today is the first day Aqua Teen has ever reached 200 hits. I'm proud.

I don't understand why my tongue suddenly weighs 6 pounds when I try to talk to my tables at work. "Have a nice dayll. Dayll? What does that mean?"

They don't know. They just stare.

Wednesday, December 22

More and more and more work. Serving food is not fun. I have worked 4 days now and I have not stolen any food. Proud of me?

I have absolutely nothing else to add. I've been working and updating Aqua Teen. Fin.

Monday, December 20

Another huge record setting day for my Aqua Teen website. 157 unique hits today, with 138 of them being first time. It makes the effort that I put in seem worth it.

I won another $160 pot by going all-in every hand because I was late for work. Could this really all be luck?

It was cold today. So very, very friggin' cold.

My first day back at work sucked a lot of balls. I guess my new attitude towards the ridiculous amount of responsiblities they give me is apathy. Everybody will just have to wait until I can get to them.

Long Story Time
Think Mark is cheap? I had a table today come in and try to use 3 coupons. It says explicitly on the coupons that they can only use one per table per visit. This dude comes in and says that since his wife and him and his mom are on different tickets, this does not apply. He proceeds to order two free appetizers. Fine, douche. Do that. His food takes 30 minutes, as does everybody elses because we're that backed up. He complains to my manager, and Erin being the nice person she is, buys their entire dinner for them. End of story? No.

The dude then says, "Well, if she's buying it..I'll take a couple margaritas and she'll have a Strawberry Daiquiri." I looked at him for a sec...then went and got him his drinks. They drink them and finish their meal, and then decide that they want a couple desserts, too. My manager, of course, bought all of this food for them too. They left me $3 on a bill that would've been at least $65. This does not even cover the amount I pay out to my tip-share.

Bottom line: Coupon-cutting poor people should stay out of fine restaurants.

Home is home. Christmas is only a week away. Is anybody else still unprepared?

I start work tomorrow. Don't come to Lone Star. Trust me.

Worst bad beat of my life just happened:
AK (me) vs QJ (him)
He raises preflop, I call. Flop is K55. He goes all-in, I call.
Turn: 10 River: 9

I was 96.6 percent after that flop. Explain chance to me one more time.

This is solvable. Get all of the frogs to switch sides. I did it. Can you?

Wednesday, December 15

Don't you hate it when you're talking to someone online and you're saying your "later"'s, but you IM them right after they put up their away message? I always feel like a goob when I do that.

2 down, 2 to go.

(Overheard at Olmstead at 12:14)
Dude: Hey!
Chick: You're 15 minutes late!
Dude: Yeah..well.....your mom...was on time!

Right on, dude. Right on.

My last days of the year here are filled with reading and sleeping. And lack of underwear. But Jean is done with finals...turd

Fear Factor is revolting.

Saturday, December 11

How does a pair of boxers stay in the bathroom for a week and a half? Am I to assume the dude (or chick) who left them there just doesn't pee or shower anymore?

I'd just wash 'em and wear 'em myself..but they're kinda ugly.

Also...this is...amazing..

It is becoming increasingly more obvious that religion is the effort to make people into human beings.

What does that say about you?

Hi Whitney.

I added another blog to the left bar. It belongs to Whitney, my roomate's better half. The picture is a very, very bad one. If you have a better one you'd like me to use, send it to me.

I won $160 bucks today. Poker roolz.

Wednesday, December 8

Stat is officially over. Finals won't be awful...just pretty bad.

My room smells terrible.

Tuesday, December 7

I have to apologize for Gagne's comments. He needs to realize that people don't need to be told incredibly obvious sports news. Seriously, Gagne. Go fail some more classes.

I hate Nintendo. It's either so easy I win by an enormous margin, or so I hard that I lose by such an enormous margin that I throw my controller down. Gay, Nintendo. So very gay.

Also, my week of poker is over. I'm $100 richer and much wiser.

Sunday, December 5

Hey! It's that guy! There he is again.. And whoa.. it's that girl! And she's with that guy!

Here's Mark saying Happy Birthday to Tubbs. Happy Birthday, you craziest of all redheads.

Gross. Hot. Missed.

Saturday, December 4

Today sucked.

Famous Dave's didn't, though. Mmmmmm.

Friday, December 3

Don't you love it when you rediscover a song that you love? I like to pick a random song on my playlist and listen to it while I read the lyrics. Sometimes it changes the entire song for me.

I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go.
Now all I need is to hear a song I know.

Thursday, December 2

I axed him good. Axed him alllll up. Also, is this not hilarious?

Playing poker again. I won't be shortly. Keep an eye on me.

Wednesday, December 1

I see make-shift toilet seat covers out of toilet paper at least once a week. Grow up, kids. Just put your ass on the plastic. It's just your ass...it's not like your eating with it.

Got my job back at Lone Star. I almost cried. Not the good kind.
