Good Afternoon.

Again, no King, no writing.

I'm beginning to think that I may need to rework the layout for this blog, because it's becoming more of a personal blog than a King themed blog. Oh well.

So, first off, let us have a moment of silence for Phil A. Fish (geddit?). He was a noble beast, undaunted by any threats of feline intervention, and was always willing to do some elementary marine acrobatics (aquabatics?) in return for some Fish Crisps. He passed away this afternoon, due to undisclosed reasons (WikiLeaks purports to have a Police File stating that the cause of death was Spontaneous Dental Hydroplosion). He had a rich, full life, and was at least two to three weeks old. We will all remember Frank fondly, never forgetting him.

On to other news, one of our wonderful shift supervisors are Starbucks has put in his notice. He's one of my closest friends at work, and it's really going to suck not having him there. But, he doesn't really have time to feel up naked people and make coffee at the same time (not to mention how unhygienic that sounds), and so Massage Therapy has come first. He'll be here a little longer than two weeks, but for how long exactly I'm not sure; he's staying a little longer than two weeks because another of our shifts is going on a cruise sometime in November and he doesn't want to leave us high and dry.

That leaves the object of his position (I realize, you probably don't care, but, I don't wanna actually bring it up for work so there you go). I really, truly think I'd like to be a shift supervisor. I mean, I realize that it's a lot of extra work, and I realize that there's so much more responsibility and time involved and all, but I really think I'd want to. I was a supervisor at the coffee shop I used to work at, and I really liked that. It's not as much the pay increase (although I'd certainly not turn that down), it's more the fact that I'd feel like I was more involved in the store, like more depended on me, that I was more important to the store (needing to feel important seems to be a running theme in my life). Also, I guess I'm really looking for the recognition, you know? It would be like a "Hey, Matt, we think you're doing a great job and we really value you here!" I just have always had a problem with self confidence and all that jazz, and so, were they to offer me the position, that would just be wonderful. Unfortunately, I really don't think I will be, and it was probably foolish on my part to even think that they would. Assuming that the manager will even be trying to fill the position, there are other people that are there that would probably be interested in the job, that have been there longer than I have and are probably considered better employees than me. I just kinda needed to vent about it and such. But it's not a big deal.

So, sorry for the personal-ness/weird-ness.
