I'm posting this under the assumption that the BaD-themed blogs were to start on the 3rd. If not, fuck it. It's the best I can do. I figure I start this off with 2014 movies that I'm anticipating. Tomorrow I'll focus on music, the next day games. Maybe I'll deal with books or television but I'm all over the place on those categories (old and new) so that'll be trickier. I'll think of something. Currently I'm stuck home due to snow, missing another day of work so I'll have plenty of time to brainstorm.

I've been really pathetic about keeping up this blog in the past 2 months. I've been online, commenting here and there but the need to update slowly eroded away recently. Either I'm too lazy or I felt there was nothing worth posting about.

Hello, Pixlbiters! Hope everyone is doing ok!

When it comes to getting things done in my apartment during the work-week, I'm completely useless. I figure I'll have enough time to finish chores by a certain time or catch up on tv or movies but all I recently had time for is sleeping and eating and then cleaning up to go to work. Either I really can't manage my time well or its damn near impossible. I only feel alive and alert during the night when I'm working. 

If I'm lucky, I cleaned up my last senior football game of the year and the school won't have the home field advantage and host a tournament. It was Senior Night last night and it took me a full 3 1/2 hours to clear the field. It's not the end of the world if they do (one big game a week isn't that bad but I hate how close it would come to Thanksgiving) but I'm ready for this to be over. Just smaller who-gives-a-shit games from here on out, okay guys?

High school sports continued its reign of terror in such an invasive way this past week. Some games are expected to generate huge crowds (leading to a huge mess) so I had every reason to dread last Friday's Homecoming game. I worked a little longer Thursday night prepping the football field and the main gym for the festivities and still had to put up with serious, legendary littering on behalf of the community and whatever asshole school they were playing against. It took me nearly 4 hours just to clear the field. 

Readjusting to late night shifts isn't easy but I'm starting to get used to it. I actually prefer the football season at this school; there's an average of 2 game nights a week. The basketball season is what tested me last year: multiple game nights, more games, more people, more trash, more long nights. I pray this school doesn't host a tournament of any kind. Throw the lowly janitor a bone for once.

Hi, everyone! I hope you all had a good Labor Day weekend! It felt short but I savored every minute I could with my parents and sister for 3 days because I knew that bliss would be cut short by the start of the football season at the school were I work. There's been a scrimmage game already but they hosted their first home game last night and I was on campus until 3 a.m. due to the mess. It wasn't the biggest I've ever seen: I expect nightmarish turnouts for Homecoming or when they play a certain rival (where I used to work) but it was enough to make me collapse on the bed and not wake up until 2:30 p.m. today.

Hello, everyone.

I've been home for about 3 hours and I feel like I'm still licking wounds from a punishing work day. It didn't start out that way. There was plenty to do and it went from manageable and risk-free and then halfway my boss shows up to assist in stripping wax off of a hallway for 7th graders and it turned nasty. I'll accept the blame that not all of the procedures of cleaning the doorways (when we stripped the classroom floors weeks ago) were followed, which complicated and prolonged the hallway stripping. My boss was just laying into me and a co-worker, all while we're feverishly trying to finish the hallway. While he was right, I just wish he'd fucking stopped earlier than he did. One of those days...
