"kerfuffles." Means commotion or disorder.
Surprisingly I am going to miss working at Whitfields Insurance. It's not everyday you get to sit in a room with 3 other great people laughing at the most random things because anything is more entertaining than pulling staples. Mallory and I challenge each other to Scramble games 100 times a day while Sarah restated how chill and "iceberg-like" Kalley is. We bonded in our 85 degree oven at the beginning where 3 fans blew all of our stuff around. Sarah's lotioned toilet seats, Mallory's singing, Stan's determination to get air conditioning, Shirley's "hot dog" comment, my ability to tune the world out, Kalley's Buca, Sarah and X-Files Countdown, Bryon the mystery man on the other side of the wall, Mallory and her kittens, midgets with Paris Hilton, Danielle's first comment of "I just can't get along with Aquarius, Sarah giving us all business cards of the Whitfields employee who's Ichannel we use each day,.....sitting and filling out surveys, random google searchs, getting way too stressed out over files.....smelling the food cooking in the kitchen, temping us before we could go to lunch. Wander up as a gang of 4 to Subway only to leave to Red Rock Subs, completing a huge circle back to Whitfields. Laughing at my obsession with bums, Kalley's back to blonde dye job, Sarah's random sense of rumor, the e-mail that simply stated "Bryon Hamilton is no longer employed with Whitfields Insurance".....the fan that turned on by itself, Sarah's drive to Burger King to get me a vanilla milkshake rather than a chocolate Wendy's Frosty....I think I really miss all of it.
Jul. 16th, 2008 11:10 am The Faux-Hawk
Random memory again,
Around 11:00pm on a random school night, I am sitting in Tyler's room doing homework when he all of a sudden looks a me and says "I want my haircut." I have cut Marshalls hair before so I told him if he knew someone with a buzzer than I could do it really fast. I don't know what happened next but the next thing I know Tyler and I are planning on how we can give him a faux-hawk....I hair tied his hair in a mohawk from the frint to the back and then a hacked the sides short with regular scissors. Then there came a little bit of shaving off of the sides and then we had it! The faux-hawk! It was at least 3-4 inched tall....Being that we finished our random hair project at 1:45am Tyler and I parted ways to go to sleep but only after I gave him all the hairspray and gel I had.....it was a lovely night.
Jul. 16th, 2008 10:37 am Tyler and the Infamous Black Scrubs
Memory......Tyler was invited to a scrub party so the afternoon before we walked up to Walgreens to go shopping. Once we got to the store we found a shelf on the back aisle with the left over scrubs. There wasn't much selection left so we just started pulling out all the sizes that weren't XXXL we could find. First Tyler picked out poo brown then bright construction cone orange.....I had to shoot thouse down. I personally thought he should get one of the one with kittens or hearts but he wouldn't have it! So we kept digging unitl finally Tyler found a black scrub top in his size! He was in love however there was no black bottoms to match. Only dark blue. Tyler, being himself, refuse to except that wearing black with blue is a huge fashion faux pas so we stopped a girl walking down the aisle that we recognized from school. She was amazing because she straight up told him that the brown looked like poo and the black with blue was terrible! :)
Right as Tyler was realizing that the black top wasn't going to work out, he looks up and realizes the mannequin strapped on top of the display was wearing all black scrubs. With his long limbs, Tyler reached up and low and behold they were the size he was looking for. Being a female, I got roped into going and asking the store manager if we could get the mannequin down because Tyler didn't want to admit he was buying nursing clothes.....I wandered up to the display counter and the girl working there told me she'd have to page the manager. After paging, this huge man came up to the counter to see what he could do for me. I explained that I needed black, and only black, scrubs for my nursing clinicals. They guy was really nice. Walked with me to the aisle, started cleaning off the top shelf, all while Tyler is hiding down a side aisle.....The guy looks down at me and tells me that the mannequin's feet have been bolted to the shelf, through the pant bottoms, so not only could we get the pants off but they were damaged.
The guy left. Tyler admitted that the second I left to get the manager he realized we wouldn't be able to get the pants off.....men! Well by now we've been in Walgreens for over an hour and Tyler still can't make up his mind. He has only 3 or 4 options to choose from that are the right size and not a ridiculous color yet he couldn't figure it out. I finally convinced him that the dark blue bottoms with a medium blue shirt would look amazing however this sparked a new dilemma. The manager that I insisted only black scrubs would work was now the person working the register. Tyler refused to go through the register so I figured we'd just have to wait.
While Tyler scouted out the register, I told him that I need to do my own shopping. I head off to go find some tampons however once I reached the aisle, I looked up and here Tyler comes back towards me. To be funny, I stopped in front of the pregnancy tests and picked up a box. When Tyler reached me he just looked at the box, then me, then asked "why are you looking at that?" I shoved it back on the shelf, said "never mind, lets go" and started back down the aisle with Tyler in pursuit. "Don't let me stop you buying what you need, Alex!" It was quite funny.
Tyler and I reached the front of Walgreens and realized the manager guy was no longer checking the people out. Tyler quickly got in line and purchased the scrubs while I wandered around the door. Once we were done and left we walked back to school laughing the whole way. What a day. I have decided that for his 21st b-day I am going to buy Tyler Faust a set of black scrubs!

Chubs and Nubs. The cutest goldfish I have ever owned. I won them at the Fall Harvest Festival senior year in high school. Nubs didn't make it too long however Chubs was there for me throughout my whole first year of college!! Chubs that dumb fish! I would wake up and he would be laying in the tank sideways. Mars use to look at me like I was crazy when I would start sobbing because I thought he was dying everytime and that we would have to flush him. There were a few close calls were he almost took the plung however I jsut couldn't.....lucky for him because he would always slowly recover throughout the day. Britt and I looked up fish diseases once and we diagnosed Chubs with a defective swim bladder.....I miss those little fish.

My boss just asked me where I would live if I could live anywhere. I decided that I wanted to live in a uncivilized civilization but is that possible? Those few people on this planet that have no idea anything else is out there.....An uncivilized civilization...ummm.
