Well, I still haven’t publicly renounced my “faith” yet. It feels really strange to be living like this. I go to church, sing the songs and bow my head in prayer.

Here’s the reason. During the snowstorm, I worked long, long hours of overtime, and we received huge bonuses on top of it all. After we had earned a certain amount, it was clear to my boss that I could just quit and fly through school on a part-time job, so he gave me the opportunity to change my hours to the evening. This way, they keep me, and I keep my health and dental insurance, as well as $10+/hr, which would be hard to find elsewhere. So I’m going to school, as soon as I can.

So when I told my parents, they said they would let me stay at home rent-free while I was going to school, as opposed to the usual $200-a-month I pay them. That’s a lot of money. However, they really want me to go to church while staying with them. Here lies the issue.

I guess I can look at it as earning $50 each time I go to church…or even $100 each time, considering that I’d have to move out, and that would likely be the cost of rent if I moved out.

Oh well. I need to focus on school right now, and do a little preparation for that deconversion. I have a feeling this is going to be a rough ride.

A little dusting-off; opening-up

You guys never clear out your “followed”, do you?

Not that it’s such a bad thing, mind you. In fact, I rather appreciate it.

Let’s get the pleasantries out of the way:

  • I’ve been working for almost a year at a Catholic hospital as a lunch lady. It’s been a decent job with the usual drama, great benefits and an interesting crew.
  • As a result of that, I’ve become more of an extrovert than anything. Maybe introversion is something you can grow out of? No, that’s absolutely dangerous to say here. But it’s had a profound influence on my
  • Dating life, which hasn’t materialized a “relationship” thus far, but has kept me somewhat busy. I’m hella picky, but I’ve also become hella confident, so things got simpler. OkCupid, Plentyoffish, etc.? Kinda worked, but they’re better for entertainment.
  • And finally, this blog will be turning into an outlet for my undercover, recently-accepted atheism. My background is thoroughly evangelical, and this will be a major shift for me. I want to write my way through it, document every vital article and every thought up to the point I finally “come out”. More on this later. Just know that this will be the major undertone in this blog. From now on.

The blog’s name, “infidelectronic”, was adopted because it just sounded cool. I was growing more liberal, which earned me the scorn of many relatives, but I was still a Christian. Today, it fits more snugly.

But that’s that. Looking at my still-followers, I’m excited that some of you are still around. This is gonna be a real trip.

Corporate Inspection Today

Which, for my store,

(you might know where)

means we get a law school drop-out to run through a checklist of rules/reg’s.

We used to have corporate health inspections.

Then they decided to merge the Health and Law departments.

Now they just call them “inspections.”

Almost makes sense, since everyone decides to sue whenever they get the flu,

but it helps no one,

and most of these inspectors we get?

Arrogant, unhelpful assholes who can’t cook spaghetti without a microwave.

Brings new meaning to the word “legalistic”,

ya know?

I only fall for the brightest ones.

Demon-psycho girl who used to work at Quiznos? Yeah, it’s about her again.

Because she got drunk last night.

She drove. She crashed. She got arrested.

And now she’s back in jail for a little while.

Haaaaaaah.

But otherwise, I’ve been waiting all week for a certain customer to walk in the store. Because I plan on asking her out. Maybe she’s a similar case as the aforementioned, but hey, risks are fun. Suspense. It’s magic.

Alright, my last “analog dating experiment” ended in me finding out that she’d been kicked out of three schools, was married to a guy older than my grandparents, and  convicted of attempted arson, attempted armed burglary, and evading police.

But hey, you can’t win every time.

My coworker knows I like one girl who comes into the store almost weekly. I didn’t ask her out when she came in this week. The agreement is that I either have to ask her out, or buy ice cream for my coworker every time this girl comes in.

This will either end horribly or amazingly.
