Neighbors woke me up last night with their usual noise that when I first hear it makes me think someone is breaking into my apartment through the patio. Kind of frightening but then again it's my fault for going to bed at 8:30pm in a town with a party school. The nightlife here is insane.

Kentucky has a lot of scary people, from what I've heard.

I can vouch for this. Get far enough out in the country and every third house is a burned-out former meth lab. The other two are half-collapsed barns and trailers. I really wish I was exaggerating (much). Granted, there are a lot of friendly, welcoming people, but even then a lot of them give off vibes that hint at Deliverance just a little too much for comfort.

I moved out of KY about three years ago, because of my dad's work, and since then a meth lab was found in an abandoned building behind the movie theater we used to go to.

Yup, I know exactly what that's like.  That's the kind of place I grew up for 8 years.  Little town that was barely large enough to qualify for its own post office, and the nearest Wal-Mart was half an hour away.  Lots of creepy, hostile people.  Lots of crumbled old houses and barns.  And I'm told that meth has since ravaged the place many times worse than it was when I lived there.

The specific place I lived in actually had pretty nice people, which is why it was even more of a shock when the meth lab was found.

I recall stopping at a convenience mart in the middle of nowhere which had been converted into a museum of sorts. The owner walked me around the place, leaning heavily on his cane, talking at great length about every item in the place. When we reached his little alcove devoted to more modern stuff, including his old military uniform and a rather stained bayonet, he went on for close to an hour about the people (my wording, not his--one guess what he said) he killed when he was in Vietnam.

For a moment I thought you meant "killing" instead of "people". Was really confused there

Murdered? Euthenized? Skoodelepooped? Killed to death? Hellenized?

I feel the combo of school and tumblr is drawing me away from here. 0n0

They've fired two people this month at work, and they'd both been here for decades. One was a supervisor. Nobody knows why they were fired, but it's pretty clear that there is some shit going down. And starting tomorrow, we're documenting all of our activities, down to the minute, for the entire shift, for the next 2 weeks. I get the feeling that my posts are going to start looking like SalmonGod's used to when it comes to work.

I hope you don't have to put up with that for several years like I did.  Finally leaving that job felt like breaking out of prison, where not only the guards had it out for me but other inmates did as well, except I didn't know which ones.

Did you know that given you are hooked up to the proper vacuum suction equipment and the like, that it only takes roughly eight seconds to drain all of the blood out of your body completely?

I wonder what that would feel like...

Have you been watching Firefly?

Probably would feel like death I imagine.

Well. How about being forcefully blown through a quarter-sized hole in a decompression unit simply because of a seal failure? Mind you, this happens near-instantly and all that's left is a fine red paste, but still. People have fit through tiny, tiny holes.

That is not how pressure differentiation works.
