So, here we are again.

So much has changed in the last year. An entire relationship has run its course, friends have come and gone (thankfully, many came back), and instead of looking back at everything that has happened I find myself looking forward to my last year at UT with a sense of excitement.

I've got a new apartment, a nice 2/1 up in Hyde Park with a laid-back roommate. I've still got my decent job for the PRC doing data entry. I have lofty goals of discipline, time-management, non-procrastination, and a laundry list of clubs and activities I want to devote myself to, including ninjitsu, capoeira, swimming, dancing, sarging, homework, work, and getting proper sleep. I am really lucky- I have so many good friends that I can count on to spend time with and help me with all of my goals.

This is a fresh start. I have everything I need to make my senior year a great one.

Wish me luck!

It's been a long time, yes?

I am back, at a friend's insistence. I have updated the place, given it a new look, actually put some stuff here. Maybe I'll actually check it every once in a while.

Life has changed, but it moves on. I am grateful for my friends.

Peace out, yo.

The bane of every subheezy employee's existance... the dreaded siren call of the ignorant, of the abusive, of the irritating and idiotic. The sound of impending doom. Ding! Every time that door opens, an idiot steps through the threshold with unreasonable demands, poor customer ettiquette and rarely more than the slightest clue as to how to order a sandwich. Although never formally expressed, the sound of the door chime soon becomes and permanently remains a sound forever synonymous with a lowly muttered or a loudly exclaimed "..fuck!" The saying is, after only a week at subheezies that sound will haunt your nightmares and implant itself as such a permanent fixture in your mind that even long after employment, even 30 years after having even set foot in a subheezy the very sound of the dreaded "Ding!" still evokes the reflexive "Fuck!" Top 10 Things To Piss Off a Subheezian: 1. Squat. Sit outside, in your car, outside the door for as long as possible, maybe staring at an advertisement poster, maybe chat on the cell phone. As soon as you walk up, chances are somebody is putting on gloves; the longer you can put off actually ordering anything, the longer they have to stand waiting with gloves on, unable to do anything else. As soon as they give up and take off both gloves, promptly enter. 2. Chat. Talk on the cell phone the entire time you are inside the restaurant. Place the people you are talking with on a higher priority than your sandwich. Frequently pause in the middle of ordering to talk to your phone. 3. Jumping Ahead. Order vegetables as soon as you order the sandwich. Ignore the fact that the vegetables are farther down the line and you have other sandwiches to make beforehand. Leave out relevant information as you do so; order the type of sandwich and the vegetables, but don't say what kind of bread or how long unless forced. 4. Super Veg. Order double, triple, no, quadruple portions of every vegetable. It's like getting a side salad for free, and the only expense is the sanity and patience of the person making the sandwich! The punchline is watching them try to close the sandwich. Marvel at how big it is for extra twitching. 5. Bait and Switch. If there is another restaurant nearby, or even a few doors down, tease the subheezian by parking directly in front of their store and walking to another. Take your time getting out of the car, and walk straight to the front door only veering away at the last second. This has the same benefit as Squatting because it forces them to put on gloves only to be made futile at the last second. Especially effective if there are plenty of open parking spots in front of where you actually intend to go. 6. Last Second Addition. One of the most insidiously evil techniques. Complete a large and complicated order, preferably at the busiest hour, combining as many other techniques as you can. As soon as you get to the register, suddenly remember that you need another sandwich. It is absolutely gauranteed to drive any subheezian insane. 7. Eagle Eye. Order something massive, again combining other techniques, and keep a sharp eye out for absolutely anything that you can use against them. Touching the register with gloves and returning to make a Last Second Addition without changing gloves works especially well. Pay for the sandwich normally. 20 minutes later, return with the complaint, saying it made you lose your appetite. Demand a refund, keep the food. Eat it in front of them for ultimate smack in the face. 8. I Forgot Freebie. Preferably when busy, run through as many techniques as possible. After paying, suddenly remember you also wanted chips and a drink. One time out of three, they will simply give it to you out of sheer frustration. 9. Pig Pen. Bring children, even (especially!) if they're not your own. Let each of them take care of their own drink. "Accidently" spill everything. Leave mess on table and floor, telling kids that "people are paid to do that, don't want to take their job away from them." This has the added bonus of teaching those kids that lesson, raising an entire new generation in the techniques of evil and apathy. 10. Complain. Ask for cup of water and request a large cup, saying you'll only fill it up halfway. Ask for wheat wraps. Insist on provolone and swiss cheese, even when they don't have it. Order pizzas at a subheezy, and whine when it isn't as good as that of a pizza shop. Change orders halfway through a sandwich. Bitch when something runs out, but don't leave. Everybody loves whining.
