Feisty Foxcoon

Many people have been asking for the recipe for Foxcoon Poison recently. I have decided to post it here. Note that you do not need to use the brands that I have listed, they are just what I use most commonly. Sunny D is recommended though due to it's strong acidic taste.

Foxcoon Poison:
1 Large Bottle of Svedka Citron
1 Packet Kool-Aid Mix (Fruit Punch or Blue Lemonade)
1 Bottle Sunny D
1 Bottle Chambord

- Pour Kool-Aid Powder into Vodka bottle, shake until mixed.
- Pour desired amount of Vodka / Kool-Aid mix into cup, fill the rest of the way with Sunny D.
- Add 1/2 to 1 full shot Chambord.

So it occurred to me today that I never updated my situation after the "I Quit My Job" post. All of the things they promised me were lies! Basically they hired someone else, moved all the management around, and put me in Jersey. I only work Tues through Fri now and still get 40 hours, which is good I suppose. I plan to get a part time job to fill those three days (hopefully at the Bronx Zoo or Petco) and I'll work the two jobs until the new one decides they want me full time...Or something. You all know I have a new scheme every other day, but this is my current one.

I got the new Mario Brothers Wii game today. It's actually really fun and fairly easy to play. I like that they moved back to the side-scroll style, and the mutli-player is easy to toggle on and off during gameplay.

The only problem I have with it so far is that when playing multi-player the characters bump into each other way too easily. Keapano and I died more times from accidentally knocking the other into a lava pit than from any other means. Other than that, co-op is just as fun as one player.

Ever since I moved out here to the White Plains branch things have gotten progressively worse each week. My trucks don't work properly, I'm told to do jobs without proper materials, and my service manager gives me mixed directions constantly. Also I am now unable to get overtime and I can't park a commercial vehicle in my city, so I have to pay for my own gas now. When I moved out here the one thing I specifically told them was that I would not drive in Manhattan. Today I was told that I would be the tech for Manhattan.

So...I was generally displeased about this situation. I told my service manager that I really don't like Manhattan and he told me to deal with it today. Halfway to my stop he called me and told me to come back to the office and pick up more work to do that I"neglected to pick up"...meaning he didn't print it for me. He likes to do this to me frequently, and since I was in Times Square at the time (because my GPS hates me) I told him that I wasn't going to turn around and that if he ever sent me to Manhattan again I'd quit. He said I had to do my work in Manhattan, so I told him I'd do my one stop and come back to the office to turn in my keys.

While on my way to this last stop (which was all the way at the bottom of Manhattan) traffic stopped while I was in an intersection. Even though the light was green this is apparnetly illegal, because a cop casually walked up to me and handed me a ticket for $115. I was generally displeased and decided the last stop wasn't worth it. I called up the girl and told her that I was sorry, but I quit my job and I wouldn't be able to treat her apartment for bedbugs. She started crying and basically guilted me into going out there. I treated her apartment and headed back to the office...After getting a $115 parking ticket for parking a commercial vehicle in a commercial vehicle only area...Which makes no sense.

So I went back to the office to find that my service manager was mysteriously missing and that my branch manager wanted to talk to me. The secretaries told me that apparently the service manager had been trying to get me to quit so he could get his friend a job, and that if I quit they would be generally unhappy-er than usual. My branch manager had me vent at him and told me he would rather drop all service to Manhattan than have me quit. He gave me a company gas card and phone for personal use and told me that he would make me the service manager by January. Also they payed my $230 worth of tickets and after tomorrow I will no longer be the Manhattan tech. So...I decided to stay until January and see how things go. But I'm sure my service manager will be even less happy to see me from now on. We'll see how things go.

The moral of this story is that if you quit your job wonderful things will happen to you. Also if you treat a girl's apartment for bedbugs she will ask you out on a date, and then be sad when you tell her you're gay.

Well I finally got to hang out with Cliff Husky this past weekend since he moved back into the area for school.   I went to two nights of parties and got to Fursuit for the first time since AC.  Keapano had Jill up and they joined Ruckus, Cliff, Geo, and myself in drunken fursuit fun.

In other news, my boss told me she wants me to be Service Manager of my branch and I am to begin the process tomorrow.  This means I'll get payed about three to four  times as much as I get payed now AND I get a car.  Yay!

So I'm deff going to Fur Fright now.  Life is good.
 

Just got back from a super fun time at Omni's.  We went to someplace with Go Karts and Lazer Tag.  I did super not good at everything, but that's fine. 

So...Thanks to Omni for hosting, Thanks to Kiric and Turtyl for brunch, and good luck Finnish in college!

-------------------------

For some reason there is something wrong with my computer.  I'll be sending it out on Monday to get it repaired, so I'll be offline for a little while.  Not that I usually post here, but just in case you're looking for me on AIM...I won't be there.  Try my phone if you need me and you've got it. 


------------------------

Also, I will at some point post my AC experiences here...Maybe...if I ever get the motivation to do so.

So I figure I might as well post an entry for all you thousands of people watching my account. :P

I think the most exciting thing that happened last week was that I captured a bat in my apartment.  The dog was acting all crazy so I opened the door and a brown bat flew in.  I managed to catch it in a table cloth and let it go outside.  I kind of wanted to keep it as a pet, but they can have rabies and their echolocation drives dogs crazy. 

It was Keapano's Birthday last week. I baked a cake using a magical recipe one of my friends gave me.  Turns out if you take a boxed chocolate cake mix and add only one can of diet Dr. Pepper (no egg or oil) the cake will taset exactly the same and have like 1/3 the calories.  So we had a fat free cake for a while until the strawberries on top molded.  Next time I'll use frozen fruit instead of fresh. 

My Raff Fursuit is coming along well.  We now have the footpaws, handpaws, and tail completely done.  The body suit is cut out and needs sewn together, and the face still needs some work.  I made glow in the dark teeth for the rave, which I'm excited about.  I watched the BBF AC videos this week and am super excited about AC.  There is a song on one of the videos that I really want to know the name of, I'll ask BBF eventually.  AC is only a few weeks away now!  It's to the point that I can't schedule people at work now because I'll be away for AC.  Yay!

Work was fairly uneventful, though I went to a lady's house today and she had 3 and 4 foot long snake sheddings in her basement.  She wondered why her rat problem went away.  She also had giant millipedes in her basement.  They were probably 5 - 6 inches long and bigger around than a pencil.  I didn't know they got that big this far north.  Their banding pattern was similar to a giant African millipede, too.  I kind of wonder if maybe someone let some go near her and it was warm enough in her basement for them to survive the winter. 

Well, today started out pretty much the same as any other day, driving a thousand miles to my first stop to look at someone's basement for signs of termite activity.  Yes, my life is that exciting.  And yes I'm an exterminator...kind of...Uncle Kage beware!

So anyway life was uneventful and then I saw my first ever wild bear!  It was a black bear with three cubs and they passed about 20 yards in front of my truck near the appropriately named Bear Mountain Bridge.  And I was all happy and wondering how m bears back in Erie are doing when suddenly Keapano called to inform me that our apartment building (but thankfully not our apartment) was broken into.  Hooray!  Murders and robberies seem to be the "in thing" here in Poughkeepsie.

So I went back to the office to find everyone in a terrible mood because our branch manager got spontaneously transferred elsewhere.  And that became annoying so I ran off to inspect some lady's house and found the most dead centipedes I have ever seen.  For those of you who do not know, Centipedes are my least favorite thing in existence.  They make me want to vomit until I die.  So...I told the lady to fix her basement and came home to find that Keapano has furred over half of my fursuit head! Yay!  (Thanks, BTW, Keap).

So I cut my hair and didn't have much to do, so I decided to drive to Walmart to pick up some scissors and markers for the suit.  And my car (named Hildegarde, by the way) decided to have a flat tire...at some point.  I didn't notice until I heard a terrible thumping noise and pulled over (2.5 miles from the appartment) to find a smoking terrible smelling dead tire.  This wouldn't be so terrible, but it's the second time it's happened to that car.  Always in the same place, too.  So I called AAA and waited a while for Mr. AAA guy to come save me, which he did. 

And then I came home and ate a cookie...The End.

Well, I finally got a Live Journal after all these years of not having one.  I may post frequently or not at all...Only time will tell. 


Anyway...My fur came in today for my fursuit!  Hooray!  So now I'll be able to have a fursuit for AC...unless something goes horribly wrong.  Never be able to do it without Keapano, though.  If not for him my suit would probably be a bolt of fabric wrapped around me with a bucket over my head.
