Recycling Fail!

So yesterday, I had another USAF appointment and met up with my new recruiter, Ssgt. Fears, and she said that my files have been transferred successfully and made me sign papers and put my initials and change some stuff in the system and the only thing she needs is my education evaluation paper and then she can schedule me to do a MEPS check up (paired up with this other girl) and we'll be staying at the hotel for two nights so we can wake up at 3am to go to the 4am MEPS processing and we all know, that's going to take a little more than 12 hours. -_- and we can't eat anything. We can only drink water. I did that in Guam and let me tell you, I thought it was crap so before the shuttle came, I ate a yogurt-berry parfait and orange juice. LOL. And water. Anywho, good news is that if the UPS brings my evaluations in tomorrow (sent in by my dad) then I will be scheduled for Tuesday and I can swear in on the day of MEPS and I'll wait again for a job... Hopefully one comes soon so I can book a spot for the job and be shipped out for BMT. (basic military training)

After the appointment, I was hanging out with German and his girl-friend (who use to be in the US Navy) and while I did  my thing, she tried to get her stuff fixed before she becomes homeless and whatnot and after, we just chilled at Marcus' house. At around 4pm, my phone was about to die so I went upstairs to get my charger and I see that Cam's best friend and his girlfriend are at the house, fogging up the apartment so I was in and then rushed out and chilled at Marcus'. At 8pm, we all decided to go to the gym and worked out until 10pm. I worked out my legs most of the time and they turned into jelly!

When I came home, I ate dinner and showered and then went to bed. I woke up at 8am, worked out, walk/run the dogs and my legs were still sore but it was whatever and then I came home, and I wanted to get rid of our recycling stuff  so I carried all six bags of our beer bottles and other glass bottles, walked 10 minutes with those in both hands, under the sun, in sweatpants and sweatshirt, sweating like a hog to the recycling shack... And you know what happened?

I ONLY GOT $1.98 OUT OF IT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY $40? T_______T

I swear I was being ripped off. Last time, we brought 200 smashed cans and one one-gallon keg and we got $10 out of that. I'm pretty sure glass jars and bottles and beer bottles are heavier than smashed aluminum cans...

WER IS MA MONNEH?!

Recycled Drunkards

People who know me know that I sleep early (maybe hella early, almost elderly early) and that I'm usually in bed by 10pm (11pm the latest) and I wake up around 6:30am every morning, wash up, work out, eat breakfast, walk their (my roommies) dogs, shower... All before lunch time.

Last night, as I went to bed, my coupled roommies were smoking weed and bought some drinks at a nearby liquor store... So that's pretty much whatever to me so I head to sleep. And the things they watch on Netflix or TV is just... Meh.

This morning, I wake up and I was going to boil eggs to make an egg salad sandwich for breakfast and what do I see? A TRASHED KITCHEN. Sigh. I understand when you smoke weed, you're effing hungry and I understand when you drink, things end up in places that you didn't even realize... But seriously? Every single plate, bowl, utensil, pan, pot, cup are all used?! ONLY BY TWO PEOPLE?! And they were just piled up all over the sink and around the kitchen.

I can't make breakfast now. So, I end up washing every damn thing because I need ONE plate, ONE spoon, ONE small bowl for breakfast but no. EVERY DAMN THING IN THE KITCHEN IS DIRTY.

But from their drinking, I have two more large bottles (one pint) of Red Stripe. Now I have seven bags of beer bottles that have been collecting in the utility closet for almost two months now and it piled up fast during the month of December while my best friend was away in Hawaii. (Thanks to her boyfriend and our neighbor, German.)

So tomorrow or Wednesday, I should be able to bring (transportation: walking) all seven bags to the recycling shack near Stater Bros. (a low-down yet expensive grocery store) and I'll leave the plastics and aluminum cans in the utility closet. With this amount of bottles, how much will it get me? If the last time we went, we got $10 out of four bags of aluminum cans... I'm sure seven bags of heavy beer bottles will get me... At least $30? I'd like $40 but I won't stretch it.

And plus, it's been almost two months and it's just sitting there, lonely, wanting to be recycled for the good of the environment! So, as a good samaritan, I will do my deed and take it all and turn it into some good cash because my wallet is hungry, too. I got to feed myself and my wallet, my furry friends.

I guess there is a good side to living with stoned drunkards. MONNEH IN ME POCKET! :)

AND, I'm helping the planet. ♡
