		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so I've been gone for a while.  Heh.  Well, I've finally found a job I enjoy.  I get to travel a lot....Mostly around the great state of Kentucky, but I get to meet new people just about every week, and I learn new stuff everyday.  I've lived here all my life and I always knew that people were different in different parts of the state, but you really start to notice when you're in the extreme eastern part of the state, and the next you're in the Western.  I've travelled from one end to the other.  So what do I do?  I train County Clerks and their deputies on a little program they use to keep track of how much money they take in.<br /><br />I gotta say I've met all types.  I"ve seen people throw fits over license plates, and tags.  I've watched them junk cars for revenge. <br /><br />I know my way around some pretty backwoods little burgs and I've still got more to go.  It's strange.  In the central part of the state you meet some truly uptight people.  You swing out on the fringes and they get more laid back.  <br /><br />Some of the places I've had to stay though...... Well there was this place in Stanton, that was pretty much a no tell motel.  But it was the only place to stay, since everything else was full.  There were cracks under the door and around the air conditioner two inches wide and the room was like a cracker box, but at least it was clean.  Of course that Thursday night I"m laying there watching TV and I hear a gunshot.  I'm not exactly sure where it was coming from, all I knew was that if I heard another I was hiding in the bathroom.  The next morning my travel partner asked me if I'd heard it, so I know I wasn't hearing things. And then there was Louisa, just last week.  America's Best Value Inn.  We got rooms there because the only other place in town was full, much like Stanton.  We go to check in and the "lobby" was filthy.  People had left bags laying on the floor, and there was food scatted all over a table.  We get the keys to our rooms and trudge up some concrete stairs outside.  I slipped the card in the door and shove it open, and the crack and meth fumes hit me full in the face.  <br /><br />A quick glance showed me that one of the bedspreads had been taken and housekeeping, such as it was, obviously didn't care.  I even think there were cigarette butts laying in the middle of the bed.  My co worker looked at me with a raised eyebrow, then shoved open her door.  It was covered in dust and cobwebs but at least there was no crack.  She told me to go downstairs and see if I could change rooms.  So back down to the filthy lobby to wait on the pierced host.  I told her this, "I need to see if I can change rooms.  Somebody's been smoking some funky sh*t in there."<br /><br />I knew buy the grin she had an idea and she said, "You're in 229 right?  Yeah, we had to call the cops on them."  Thank God my coworker walked in and told the girl we wanted a refund.  She handled that while I sprinted back up the stairs and grabbed my bags and her's and loaded them back in the car.  I wasn't even done putting them in the trunk when she was out the door, shoving my money back in my hands and jumping in the car.  We ended up having to drive 40 minutes every morning and night, but at least the hotel was nice.  So yeah, I've had some experiences, but you know I wouldn't trade it for anything.   <img src="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I finally got a job bartending at a resturant in Louisville.  A friend called me at 9 this morning and told me that I would be getting a call.  I said ok.  Moments later I got a call from this lady to come interview.  It wasn't really an interview though, I walked in and they said, you start Saturday at 4:30.  Easiest job I've ever gotten  <img src="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/grin2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="grin2.gif" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I've started Bartending school which is taking up most of my life right now.  I'm having a blast though.  I'm also moving out of the living hell my roommate has made the house.  She's a controlling druggie.  <img src="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/angry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> <br /><br />So I'm moving back to the parent's place.  I'm going true redneck and living in a mobile home for a few weeks until I can finish up these classes and go to Florida.  <br /><br />And since my last day on the job I have now is Monday (YAY!!!) I should be able to finish up fairly quickly.   <img src="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/grin2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="grin2.gif" /> <br /><br />So I won't be around for a while.  I do hope to be back soon, but life comes first.  See ya'll around. <img src="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":st" border="0" alt="wavey.gif" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so an older gentleman from Iraq, just asked me if I wanted to go to a pottery show tonight.<br /><br />That interesting.  I just don't get what's going on with me lately, but I've been getting weird phone calls and offers.  Yesterday there was a lady wanting me to come interview for a job.  I had to turn it down, because in a few weeks I'm moving out of state.  This weekend I'm dog sitting, so I'll have to waste a lot of gas to do that.  Not to mention the big hound dog I have at home, (which I had to chase all over the farm last night  <img src="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> ) that's not even mine, but my roommates.<br /><br />Can't wait to see what happens next.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know.  The constant rain of yesterday turned into snow last night.  So while yesterday the temps were mild, today they are frigid.  I don't enjoy this, especially since the cold is going right through the wounded knee like an ice pick.<br /><br />Yes it's lovely.  It aches like a toothache.  I've had to walk on it all day, up and down more stairs (I hold on to the hand rail now.  I'm not going through that again.)<br /><br />Is there any way to make 4 o'clock show up any faster?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Friday night I fell down the stairs <img src="http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/crying.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry:" border="0" alt="crying.gif" /> <br /><br />It hurt.  I managed to wrench my knee pretty good. Which slowed the prospect of me actually getting all the stuff out of my apartment this weekend.  It has also been raining since last night constantly.  I thought I was going to have to canoe to the truck. :sigh:]]></description>
