The first thing you do is butter the bun. Then you drop it down the toaster. The toaster takes approximately eighteen seconds to toast. You then put the top and bottom together, place them on a red tray and then cover the twelve buns that fit on the tray, 4x3,  with another tray and place them to the side. Once you are ready to make the sandwich you place two pickles on the bottom, no more than a quarter inch over lapping. Then you place the chicken filet with the smooth, round side facing up and then place the crown of the bun on top. Finally open up the sandwich bag allowing enough room for the sandwich to easily slide in, then fold the bag over twice and place it in the warming drawer for five minutes. Any sandwich that sits there for longer than five minutes gets trashed. If you would like a deluxe sandwich then place either a slice of American, provolone, or pepper jack cheese on top of the filet, then put two, whole, tomato slices on top of the cheese and two pieces of lettuce, shiny side up, that frame the bun on top of the tomatoes. Then repeat until your soul has been crushed, pissed on, and every dream and fire that has ever existed in you has been stomped out by the ceaseless, monotonous work you subject yourself to in order to not even get by.

They, being the people who don’t work with you, will remind you that you chose to be there, just be thankful to have a job, or that it is just temporary. You know that isn’t true though. You can’t find a better job because you are working 50 hours a week and you are too tired to do anything else. You can barely even find the energy or will power to get out of bed in the morning. Every once in a while you feel like you have enough energy and fortitude to say enough is enough and move on but then you realize your life revolves around this job. All of your friends are there. They are the people that deal with all of the shitty customers who think they are the Queen of god damn England, the ones who think they own you because you stand behind a register. Your coworkers are the ones that after all the shit you put up with tell to forget the customer, he is an asshole, you didn’t do anything wrong, people like that just happen. You have a bond with your coworkers, like brother in arms who are united by their common misery. So the cycle repeats, week after week after week after week after week after week as if your days are manufactured on an assembly line.

Then you find yourself waking up in the tiny room you call an apartment. You shower and head to work and start your day off like you have the past, seemingly, five thousand days. You clock in, take your slip that shows the time you clocked in and put it your wallet. Then you say high to everyone. Then you either go to the kitchen or the front counter depending on what you are assigned that day. Then you spend the next ten hours slaving away like the robot you are. You listen to the exact same orders, make the exact same food and you have the exact same routine to live by. Then you watch your boss drive up in his new, gas guzzling behemoth of a truck and say “Hi!” to everyone as if he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world. It is as if he has no idea what the people he employs put up with on a daily basis. It is as if he hopes his friendly disposition will be contagious but what does he do besides sit in that office of his in the back while you are the one who gets burned at the fryers and the one who has to choose if it is worth turning the heat on at night. You are the one that has to decide whether or not to fix your car or just walk the five miles or so. The one who should just deal with the tooth ache or dish out the three thousand dollars for a root canal because god forbid giving his employees health insurance would just decimate his profits. No one likes the boss.

Between the shitty boss, shitty job, and shitty house and lifestyle what can you find to be joyous about? You are simply a tiny little speck. In fact you aren’t even speck in the scheme of things. You are less than a pixel, you are less than even the red, blue, and green lights that make up a pixel. You are nonexistent and utterly replaceable and no one will notice if you go. Just like no one has noticed the billions of stars that have existed and perished and no one ever will. Just like no one ever notices the trillions of bacteria that are beneath our feet. That is what you amount to. At some point we have all been there. The thing is though that not all of us end there. That is the saving grace. There is a glimmer of a hope that one day you can escape the cycle of the daily grind. Get a degree if you are young enough, have a support system while you find a better job, or maybe you are stronger than most and do it all alone.

Not everyone is lucky though. Sometimes the grind wears you down and grinds you to you are so thin that you become a part of the walls there. You are an everlasting stone that will be a part of where you are stuck, just like the walls. Bills add up and sooner than you know it you are living out on the streets and left with nothing but free time. Maybe you cope with a steady dose of drugs. Maybe you cope with a healthier method. Either way it leads to the same thing. If you aren’t apart of the club, the haves, then you better get used to meaningless, mindless tasks that ask nothing of you but obedience.  The boss, the haves, will tell you that working at these crummy soul devouring jobs is fine. What would they know about what you do though? It is not a matter of them being any less hard working but it is a matter of having something to show for it. If you work at a restaurant and you can’t even afford to eat there they pay you so little then what is the point?

It gets to the point where thinking physically hurts. It breaks you just as bad as your job does. You think of all the things that you gave up, that you let slip by and you think never again will I let that happen, but it is too late. You have already buttered the buns. You have dropped them in the toaster. You have placed them on the tray. Put the two pickles on the bun, then the filet, and then the top part of the bun. You have wrapped the sandwich and placed it in the warming drawer until you throw it up for the next customer to devour or for it to get thrown away because it has been the warmer to long and has grown hard and unpleasant and unwanted.

VICTORIA PARK is a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system. It is located alongside Charles Street, just west of Gaukel Street, in Kitchener.[1] Its namesake, Victoria Park, has its eastern entrance about south of the station along Gaukel. It opened in 2019.

The station serves southbound trains only; the nearest northbound platform is at Kitchener City Hall station, about away up Gaukel and Young streets.

The station's feature wall consists of brown stone tiles with flowing, random striations.

The platform is connected with Charles Street's sidewalks at either end, and pedestrians passing through walk along the platform.

The station is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Charles Street West and Gaukel Street. It is immediately adjacent to 44 Gaukel Street, a modernist building constructed in 1962–64 which was formerly a Canada Post depot before it was converted to its current use as an arts centre.[2] Across Gaukel Street is the Charles Street Transit Terminal, the former Grand River Transit hub in Kitchener until the launch of light rail service in 2019. As of early 2020, intercity buses still stop at the terminal.

I woke up in a hospital, not remembering how I got there at first, and not really caring about anything for a few days but the morphine I was being given. But, once the nurses discovered I was in nowhere near the amount of pain I was in when first admitted to the hospital, they took the button away from me. The doctors were kind enough to explain to me what happened, and the memories started flooding back in. Before I get into the accident, let me first explain traffic laws. Nothing too in depth, mainly the basics. Well, only the basics. Such as; red means stop. This certain truck driver that hit me didn't seem to know this traffic law, and slammed into the left side of my car, nearly killing me. Several broken bones and things like that, a head injury that I can't pronounce. I've noticed that none of my family has come to visit me. This truck driver however, has come to visit me. His face doesn't look sad, doesn't look happy, there's something wrong with it, but I can't tell what. He walks into my room and sits down, saying nothing. Somehow I know it's the truck driver, but I don't say anything, and I don't know how I know. I ask him "Hello, who are you?". He sits and stares, saying nothing. I ask a few more times, he still says nothing. 10 minutes. 20 minutes. 30 minutes. This starts to make me angry. Who the fuck is this man? Who does he think he is? He's the one who hit ME, and yet he's sitting there with no look of remorse on his face. He won't say anything. Hours pass, but I don't seem to be getting tired. Finally I say "You're the truck driver that hit me." He still doesn't say anything, he only nods and looks interested that I've come to this conclusion. I start to notice that his face doesn't look real, it looks almost plastic, and it's been what seems like days since the nurses were last in here. The bag of saline that is dripping down the IV into my arm hasn't gone down, though I can see the fluid moving into my veins. I don't have to use the bathroom, I'm not tired. Nothing changes until I speak, and even then I don't get a response. I'm usually a collected person, but I have this strange sense of uneasiness that I can't shake. I start to panic, I yell for help, I try to stand and go out the door, but when I do two nurses hold me in the room and sit me down. They don't feel immensely strong when they do so, i just suddenly feel weak and useless. I try this over and over again, never getting farther than the edge of my room. I try one last time, this time I use every fiber of my being to charge past these non-people nurses, screaming at the top of my lungs. I make it through, waves of euphoria sweep over me, I've done it! I've finally done it! The euphoria keeps coming, it feels like more than happiness now... it feels like... morphine. I start getting tired. Blackness. I open my eyes and I'm back in the hospital bed. Whatever is happening can't be overcome by willpower, I realize this now. All I want to do is sleep, but I know I can't. It's been weeks. Or has it? I don't know what's happening, time doesn't make sense here. I eventually accept that talking to this truck driver that has been sitting motionless is the only thing that gets me anywhere.

I start to talk.

"You don't respond to me, you only react. I have a feeling I'm supposed to learn something here. I don't know what" He smiles, and nods. I try to notice his features, but every time I look at something specific, it fades out as if I was looking through an unfocused camera. "I was hit by your truck, while driving to work." His expression changes, and looks disappointed at what I've said. "Okay, I wasn't on my way to work. I was driving somewhere I needed to be though." His expression doesn't change. I start to get angry again, I scream as loud as I can, I start crying. But, like all the times before, I start talking again. "This isn't real, have I gone insane?" He doesn't react. "Is this a dream? Am I in a coma? Am I dead?" He smiles. I've died. But the truck driver still sits there, smiling at me. I start trying to figure everything out, why am I still conscious? Why am I in a hospital? Why didn't I notice this sooner? I know my questions don't matter, only talking about the accident gets me anywhere with the truck driver. So I start talking. "I wasn't going anywhere in particular, I was just driving." I realize without the truck drivers smile that I'm correct, I was just driving. I never go out for a joy ride though, what was i doing?... I start to remember small details. I've been drinking, I'm crying, suddenly I'm back in the car and I'm crying and feel more pain than I ever have in my life, I decide that this is it, this is the end, I'm going to kill myself, I see the nearest truck and drive towards it. I'm finally free from pain. I woke up in a hospital, not remembering how I got there at first, and not really caring about anything for a few days but the morphine I was being given. But, once the nurses discovered I was in nowhere near the amount of pain I was in when first admitted to the hospital, they took the button away from me. My family hasn't come to visit me, but the truck driver that hit me has.

title: The Truck Driver (Horror)

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the truck driver?

answer: The text says that the truck driver hit the narrator's car, leaving him with broken bones and head trauma, and has come to visit him while he is hospitalized. However, the truck driver refuses to speak to the narrator and remains expressionless even when the narrator becomes angry and cries. The truck driver only seems interested in discussing the accident. The narrator believes something is fundamentally wrong about the truck driver, but is not certain what. Ultimately, the narrator concludes that the truck driver must be something supernatural, like a dream or a ghost, and is probably dead himself.

answer: The narrator claims that the truck driver has visited him many times at the hospital. It is unclear if the truck driver is a real person or a hallucination. The truck driver is always emotionless and does not say anything.

answer: The truck driver at first appears to be a figment of the narrator's imagination. The narrator does not recall how he got injured or where he is, and for a long time, he had forgotten that he had driven off the road and into a truck. However, it was the truck driver who crashed into his car, destroying it and sending him to the hospital. The truck driver sat beside the narrator, making sure he was aware of that fact. Talking to the truck driver would cause the narrator to remember what happened.

answer: The truck driver has hit the narrator and left the narrator in immense pain. The truck driver has sat by the narrator in silence without apology or remorse. The truck driver has a strange appearance and has not responded to the narrator despite the narrator's attempts to get a response. The truck driver has caused the narrator's death, though the narrator is still alive. There is something strange about the truck driver and their appearance, though it cannot be defined. The truck driver enjoys leaving the narrator in confusion.

answer: The narrator is initially told that the truck driver ran a red light, almost killing the narrator, but it is later revealed that the narrator chose to kill themself by driving toward the nearest truck. The truck driver visits him in his hospital room, but he doesn't say anything, only responding to what the narrator says by smiling and nodding. His face looks almost like plastic, and whenever the narrator tries to notice something specific about it, it becomes unfocused.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about where the narrator is?

answer: The narrator wakes up in a hospital and makes their way out of the hospital to the bed.

answer: The narrator wakes up in a hospital room. After they've been there for a while, they try to leave, only to be restrained by two nurses. Every time they try to leave, the inhuman nurses restrain them. The narrator finally tries to rush past them and seems to succeed, but is then sedated with morphine and wakes up in the room again.

answer: The narrator is in a hospital.

answer: The narrator is in a hospital due to being hit by a truck driver.

answer: Unclear, possibly a hospital

_BLANQUERNA_ () is a novel written around 1283 by Ramon Llull. It chronicles the life of its eponymous hero. It is the first major work of literature written in Catalan.

Structure

[Raymond Llull] The novel is divided into five parts.[1] Llull's _LLIBRE D'AMIC E D'AMAT_ (_Book of the Friend and Beloved_) is often included as a semiautonomous section within _Blanquerna_.[2]

Plot summary

The central character of the novel named after him, Blanquerna, was born to Evast and Aloma. Before marrying, Evast, a nobleman, had wanted to follow a religious life but at the same time wished to experience matrimony. He became a merchant after his marriage to Aloma, and he gives his son an education based on religious and philosophical pursuits.

In the second part of the novel, Blanquerna confronts the same choice his father did: between a celibate life and a married one. Blanquerna decides to become a hermit, which saddens his mother; she tries to have her son marry the beautiful Cana. But Blanquerna persuades Cana to become a nun, and she later becomes an abbess.[3] Blanquerna also faces sexual temptation in the form of a maiden named Natana. This second part includes a description of the seven sins.

In parts three through five of the novel, Blanquerna, having chosen a religious life, becomes a monk (though he desires to become a hermit instead), and quickly becomes an abbot. In time, he is elected pope.

The road to the papacy is not easy; Blanquerna is constantly faced with troublesome decisions and temptations, and he is not perfect. Indeed, Blanquerna “is made credible precisely because he is prone to make mistakes and to experience temptation, and in the end this gives him an authority which other authorities are obliged to recognize.”[4] Blanquerna's life takes him through widely varying places and social strata, from uninhabited forests and wildernesses to the dense Roman urban landscape of thieves and prostitutes, from interactions with young maidens to interactions with popes and emperors.[5]

As he matures, Blanquerna listens to the advice of a jongleur, a “wise fool” named Ramon. Blanquerna reforms the Church completely as pope, with Ramon’s help, and finally becomes the hermit he had always desired to be. As a hermit, he composes a book of meditations to help his fellow hermits defeat temptation: this is the _Llibre d'Amic e d'Amat_, which consists of 365 love poems.[6] This text “purports to offer the protagonist’s mystical confessions, based on personal experience and examples of 'Sufi preachers,' as a guide to contemplation within the apostolic utopia of a reform of contemporary Christendom.”[7]

Selected verses

_27 The bird was singing in the garden of the Beloved. The Lover came and said to the bird: - If we don’t understand each other through language, let’s communicate through love, because your song represents my Beloved to my eyes._

_295 The Lover was in danger in the great sea of love; and he trusted his Beloved, who came to rescue him with tribulations, thoughts, tears and cries, sighs and sorrows, since the sea was one of love and also made to honour his principles._

My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, “If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?”
My mom did not respond… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!”
And to this, my mother quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address.” – and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
“My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see……..when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.”

[Marcell Young]

In case you missed it, one of the more notable events from the weekend’s opening series of CFL games was when Marcell Young, defensive back for the BC Lions, absolutely crushed an intruder on the field.

Now, this was very funny for all of us! Certainly, Young’s hit carried a bit more oomph than necessary, but that’s just the game you play when you choose to disrupt a game played by professional athletes, right? However you feel about the humour of streaking, there is definitely humour in watching a streaker get their just deserts.

Unfortunately, this streaker seems to disagree. He has retained the services of Preszler Law Firm, which said through a statement released Wednesday that the fan “suffered serious injuries, including a mild traumatic brain injury, as a result of being violently struck by BC Lions player Marcell Young."

It’s unlikely, however, that any legal action would be successful, as University of British Columbia sports law professor Joe Weiler points out that the fan would be legally considered as a trespasser on the field.

That’s probably for the best, because it would be incredibly lame if Young was successfully sued for this.

SUPERBUG, or DUDU (pronounced [_doo doo_] as said in “Superbug Goes Wild” English version), is a West German children's comedy film series released between 1971 and 1978. It is based on a somewhat intelligent Volkswagen Beetle similar to Disney's Herbie, but unlike Herbie which uses magic, it uses modern technology to display signs of intelligence. Superbug appeared to be an attempt by director and main actor Rudolf Zehetgruber to bring the “Herbie” concept to Germany, where the Volkswagen Beetle originated, while giving it the flair of James Bond's gadget-equipped vehicles. The main human character is named _Jimmy Bondi_. In the first film, which is mainly set in Africa, Bondi inherits a yellow 1963 (1963 in the first film, 1970 in “Return Of Superbug” and 1968 in “Superbug, Super Agent”) VW Beetle, which he names “Dudu”, the Swahili word for insect or beetle.

The films were dubbed into English and shown on various American UHF TV channels in the 1980s and 1990s. They have since been released on VHS and DVD.

Movies

-   _Superbug Goes Wild_ (original title: __ [_“A Beetle Goes All Out”_], 1971)
-   _Superbug, Super Agent_ (original title: __ [_“A Beetle Goes Full Throttle”_], 1972)
-   _Superbug Rides Again_ (original title: __ [_“A Beetle Takes A Ride”_], 1973)
-   _The Maddest Car in the World_ (original title: __ [_“The Craziest Car in the World”_], 1975)
-   _Return of Superbug_ (original title: __ [_“Two Awesome Beetles Clean Up”_], 1978)

Background

The model for Superbug was _Herbie_ from the Disney movie franchise that started in 1968. The main difference between the two vehicles is that Herbie is portrayed as a magical Volkswagen in white racing livery, while in most of the Superbug movies, Superbug is a computerized plain yellow Beetle with some elements of artificial intelligence. Some of the titles of the Superbug films were related to Herbie film titles, such as “Superbug Rides Again” being inspired by “Herbie Rides Again”.

Superbug is portrayed as having countless gadgets and skills. The technological aspects of Superbug increase as the film series progresses. In the first film, _Superbug Goes Wild_, Superbug is still far from being a self-aware high-tech vehicle. In some scenes, it has animated eyes and can speak and cry, thus appealing to children. The popularity of the VW Beetle had plummeted in the mid-1970s and production was discontinued in Germany in 1978. In the final movie of the series made in the same year, the Beetle body shell was merely hiding a small 6-wheel amphibious All Terrain Vehicle that interacted with a small crab-like robot named _Picho_, both with big eye-like headlights.

Director Rudolf Zehetgruber was also the main actor, under various names, while his Poland-born wife appeared as _Kathrin Oginski_. However, the films do not use his own voice, but rather dubbed the voices of actors Fred Maire or Klaus Kindler.

The Superbug series was relatively low-budget. However, some well-known German and international actors took part, including Walter Giller, Heinz Reincke, and Joachim Fuchsberger, Kurt Jaggberg, and Walter Roderer.

In September 2006, all five “Superbug” films were released by Kinowelt on a five-set DVD "_Dudu Edition"_.

The idea of a computer-controlled super car inspired producer Glen A. Larson to create the 1980s TV series “Knight Rider” featuring KITT and David Hasselhoff.
