Phil had told me that Scott said the guy he was going to buy the engine from has already sold it and he can't find any for under $700, plus Scott has work to do on his own cars, so it will be a while before my car will be upgraded. He said I could always go out and buy a new engine for around $1,200, but that's more than I have right now. I had been putting off my oil change since I was going to get a new engine soon, but since it doesn't look like that's the case anymore, I decided I should change it. I took it to Lube-It-USA on the way to work.

Work was fine. It was people greeter, Ruby's, birthday today. She's 31, I think. I talked to Mike and asked him what was going on with him and Karen. I know that Karen is married to Jason, who works overnights, but Mike and Karen have been hanging out a lot and always take breaks together. I just asked him how things were going. It turns out, he and Karen have been going out for 2 months, Jason just found out about it, they are getting a divorce, and Jason's trasferring to another Wal-Mart. Wow. He said Jason would like to work it out with Karen, but he doesn't want her and Mike to be friends anymore, and that's not going to happen. Randy also had some problems of his own. I didn't get a chance to talk to him about it, but he was depressed and I think it had something to do with Angela, and Tracy starting a rumor about him and her, and Angela hearing about it, and not talking to Randy or something. But that's just bits and pieces of what I heard. I'll have to ask him about it when I get the chance. I hope things work out fine for him. I've gone though my share of female trouble and I don't wish that on him.

Ruby was taking her lunch at the same time I was and she invited me to eat with her and her family in McDonald's. I said I would be eating Subway, but I'd bring it over there. I decided to get her something for her birthday and I asked some casual questions and I don't think she suspected anything. I got out of her that she likes Disney animated movies, has never seen "The Emperor's New Groove", and has a DVD player. Hehe. BTW, Amy got that movie for her birthday. Before I took my lunch, my old friend, Jonathon Seagoe, came in with one of his friends. Wow, I haven't seen him for a while! I went to school with him. We were good friends. He and I came up with the weirdest ideas. We were always making up the craziest things. Geeks at their best, lol. We talked a little and I asked about Hynix. His friends used to work there and Jonathon's and my mutual friend, Billy, still works there. They said that shifts are about 12 hours long, and anything after 10 hours is overtime. That's cool! It's really strict about being on time, though, so I'll have to really be careful. I'm prone to be late a lot. They gave me Billy's number.

On my lunch, I went and bought the movie ($13.00 after my discount card) and then got my food. I was half an hour late for my lunch and by the time I came back, Ruby was gone, so I just went and ate my food. When I was done with my lunch, I found Ruby and gave her the movie. She liked it and gave me a hug.

It slowed down later on and I finished the carts early, so I had to find stuff to do. I hate having to find things to do. Oh well, that's it. Goodnight.
