Burning is stupid.

You know, i just realized something. Burning is stupid. I mean, burning anything. For instance, smoking is stupid. It releases carcinogens. This applies to the cooking method as well. Grilling, too. Oh and that thing called the INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE. Stupid. 20% efficient. Bah. Not to mention the fact that that is where alot of our electricity comes from, is stuff being burned. STUPID. Hydro ! Wind ! Solar ! WHY IS THIS VERY SIMPLE TECHNOLOGY NOT BEING USED ?!?!!?!? There are like six parts to a frigging wind turbine ! This crap is SO MUCH SIMPLER than a frickin oil plant, why the crap do we not build them up, one by one, and dump the old stupid crap, one by one ? Agh... Smokers, Grillers, and STUPID POLITICAL CRAP IS THE SHIT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE OF MY ASPERGER'S !!! I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS STUPID SHIT !!!

They say it's because it is newer technology, and hasn't been proven, and it needs to mature, and this and that and the other. IT IS SIMPLE. IT IS EASY. MANY MANY ELECTRIC MOTORS AND GENERATORS EXIST. It does not matter if this technology (say wind) is newer than oil or coal. IT IS SIMPLER. IT CAN BE MASS PRODUCED !!! SHIT !!! IT MAKES JOBS, NOT TAKES THEM !!! Do you realize, coal and oil plants use STEAM, for craps' sake ? STEAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When i first began learning of the superiority of electric motors/generators over internal combustion, i thought to myself "Well gee, the big power plants must be made in such a way that they are as efficient as possible, right ?" Well sure, BUUUUT...
1) A hydro/wind plant converts motion directly to electricity at something like a 90% efficiency rate.
2) A gasoline engine is about 15-20% efficient at converting the power in gasoline to motion.
3) A gasoline generator could be about 25% efficient at converting the power in gasoline to electricity.
4) A coal plant BURNS COAL to HEAT WATER. Steam. As we all know, if you fill a balloon with air and squeeze it, it will give for a bit, then pop. As that balloon gives for a bit, the air in it is actually increasing in density, reducing in volume. In the context of a power plant, as the steam is introduced to a load, it does the same thing. This is basically the only thing keeping it from being 99% efficient. It pulls it down to 35-50% efficiency.

Now then, what is a power plant DOING ? It is burning coal, to make steam (a powerful breeze) move a frickin electric generator. SCREW THAT.

PUT THE GENERATOR IN THE BREEZE THAT GOD GAVE US YOU TARD, AND YOU WILL GET 90% EFFICIENT. Or underwater. That "breeze" is even more powerful.

Anyway yeah, burning shit is for retards.

Dang old stuff...

Anyone else want to napalm toaster strudel commercials ? Especially the latest ones, with the two cutesy-tootsie girl actors and their cutesy tootsie facial expressions regarding the ORGASMIC flavor of the toaster strudel ? It's not that i dislike toaster strudels... but their advertising is quite slanderous. Between the two, i find that the strudels tend to be soggy more often than not (even when toasted, rather than nuked), and that there's really no wrong way to do a poptart. Oh and there are generic poptarts.

I have to (well, get to...) go to work in 28 minutes. My shift doesn't actually start for two hours, but i have to be there a half hour early, it takes a half hour to get there, and i'm giving myself a half hour to be safe. I'm stressin... because i don't know *exactly* the work i'm going to be doing, and therefore cannot be confident in my first day performance. I have a general idea, but that's not enough. Additionally, their policy is "Exposed body piercings must be removed or covered with tape or a bandage." I've worked at a place with this exact policy before, and they made no requirement of me, because my plugs are such that noting can "catch" on them, and they cannot simply fall out. It's not a big deal to me, as long as it's not a big deal to them. Then again, walking around with tape on my ears won't be fun. But i'll do it if they want me to. I'm bringing 3 kinds with me. Plus bandages.

OK OK i gotta take off now.

Get it ! Got It ? Good... ?

Well, I've filled out the W4 and direct deposit, and gotten my security and time-badges. That means i have the job. For now. I hope they don't back out... I honestly don't think they will. I had two interviews with them. They didn't seem phased at the idea of me leaving OTC without notice for my epilepsy, as well they shouldn't have. They seemed equally unconcerned about me leaving Premier because my truck broke down. That, combined with my having given OTC a one week notice before i quit the first time, and that they hired me back, so i must have been on good terms.

Alot of crap. 99% true, but alot of crap, too.

That said, It's 25 miles away, and there may be some fiddling with my piercings to be done. I'm not sure what days i'll be working, or how many hours a week. I find that out in a few hours. The pay will start at 8.85 and could go up to about 13. I'll take it ! :)

Yeah... No go.

I didn't get the Hy Vee job. My backup plan, seems to have helped, at the very least. I redid my Resume and made a cover-letter. Woo woo. That, and pursued some "alternative job listing" websites... careerlink and omaha.com just weren't cutting it anymore. I'd applied with a certain staffing agency before, but they just said "meh, you quit your last job." Well, they held a recruitment thing today, so i went in and impressed them. Most individuals had poor/inapplicable work history. Most had criminal backgrounds. I have 2-3 years experience (6 year work history) and no crimes. I was the 2nd best dressed of the crowd. One of 2 with a resume/coverletter. I was the only one who had *all* needed documents. I'm going back in tomorrow to (hopefully) fill out the rest of the paperwork, pick a job, and start. Annnnnyways, there's nothing to say i get there, and they just toss me out on my bum for the same reason they did last time. But i feel better about this situation than the last.
