Something To Look Forward To...

Yay! Finally, it took long enough for there to be something to watch on TV! I have my Tivo all set up for this coming season. Since I'm working mostly at nights during the week I have to make sure all my favorite shows are being recorded. Thank god I will be home tonight to watch Desperate Housewives. I am looking forward to seeing how things have come along 5 years later and all :)

This is another one that I really got into that I am looking forward to watching tonight. It came on last week but Mr. Tivo is my little friend and I get to do laundry tonight and watch what happened! Happy happy!

there is some conflict with tonight so I have to Tivo Amazing Race so that Cisco can watch it with me. I am still wanting to be on this show...soon. I think that I will apply next season! I have to find someone to go with, I don't think Cisco would be able to.
I can't wait to see this tonight too!

got a couple of others that I like, like Survivor! I don't know why they are so fun to watch but they are. I think the only thing I hate about Survivor is what they do on one of the last shows, where they take the torch of the players that were thrown off and put them to rest...WHATEVER!!! Other than that, I like that show a lot!


There is also Saturday Night Live, especially since we have these joker nominees for the presidential race, it's pretty funny.

Well as you can see I don't have much else to blog about!

It's just a wonderful time of year! There is so much to look forward to, at least when it comes to watching TV!

Are You Serious...

The only reason why I ask this is because I always thought of women being more considerate of other people and clearly more tidy. This thought went completely out the window last night while I was working. Now, considering where I work I thought that people would be far better at picking up after themselves, but I was wrong. I worked in women's clothing last night where they have the evening dresses and women's suits, working in this area means that you have to keep tabs on the fitting rooms as well as the sales floor and tending to customers. I didn't think that this would be that big of a deal because I had done it the week before in men's clothing and it was easy, walk in check the dressing room and then sign my name. Piece of cake!

Now the under world of women's dressing rooms is a far different can of worms. I personally am very considerate when I go into a fitting room, I hang up my clothes when I am done and if there is somewhere to put them I place them there. The women that I dealt with last night are under the impression that since I work there and I am getting paid to put clothes away and adhere to their every whim they think that it is ok to leave clothes piled in knots on the fitting room floor, strewn over doors and left hanging by one string. Now I just know there there are some of you out there that are thinking, well it is your job to put the clothes away and make sure the fitting room is kept nice and clean. Yes, it is, but there is also something called common courtesy. When I use the restrooms at work I don't forget to flush the toilet and throw my paper towels on the floor just because I know that there is someone that will come and do it if I don't (and there are people that do this too, I've been unlucky enough to witness it). The least you can do is hang the clothes back on the hanger, hell I'll zip it up and button it, but I shouldn't have to untangle it, figure out where the hanger could have possibly gone all while you are asking me for another size. I just think that is plain wrong. It's pretty bad when men are better at the fitting room game then women. I thought for sure that would be far worse.

It just makes me wonder if they do that s*** at home. Do you leave your clothes in a knotted up mess laying in a pile on the floor? If something falls off the hanger when you are going through your clothes do you just leave it in a pile at the bottom of your closet? The answer is probably not, so why would you do it when you go out to other places. Just because you are somewhere other than home doesn't mean that you should forget about your manners. Now I know there there are some people out there men and women that have no concept of other people in the world and they could care less and that is fine, I can spot those people from a mile away and I deliberately do not help them because I know that they will be very rude and thoughtless throughout the whole process, there for making it not worth my while at all with the exception of leaving me frustrated and pissed off. Now, the ones that surprise me are the ones that are very polite and are a joy to help, then they screw you in the end. I spent an hour helping someone find the perfect dress last night, right fit and everything. When I finished trying to help her, she decided at the register that she didn't want to get the dress and that she would try Sears and then when I went back into her dressing room she left all of the dresses in a pile turned inside out and thrown everywhere. I swear if I could have found her I would have killed her with a hanger.

So please next time you go to the mall or a store, even a Target. Remember to be nice. Like the old video store slogan..."Be Kind Rewind". It's not that you have to do these things, it's just nice sometimes to do something for someone else.

"I Am Not Going To Disneyland In October..."

Cisco wrote this and made me sign it but this of course was right after my mom and I went in October last year, and it was the second trip within a four month period so I was not exactly excited about going with my mom this year. Well when I told my mom that I wasn't going she said that she would take her friend with her. I definitely thought that she would not go at all because she wasn't taking me with her. Well a few months later she told me that she was going to take my brother's girlfriend. At this point I didn't really know her and I was just pissed that of all the people she could have taken that it would be her. I mean I hadn't even met the girl yet and my mom was instant best friends with her...please. Well I have gotten to know her since then and I just love her. She is the best thing that has happened to my brother and we love Disneyland like crazy so it's just a match in heaven. We do have a lot of fun together when we are together so that is good. I just love spending time with her, and I think that by her going my mom may calm down on feeling the need to talk excessively. I was really bummed at the thought that now that I wanted to go I couldn't because of school and now work, but since school is a no go for right now it was just going to be tricky to get the time off of the new job. Well I asked for time off from my new job so that I can go and actually got it, so now it's official I am going to Disneyland in October.

The bet was that I wouldn't go, I can't remember if Cisco and I actually bet anything on it, but my mom keeps reminding me that if I were to go he would pay for the ticket, she said that since she was a witness he can't go back on it...ha ha right? Yeah, well I don't really expect him to pay for the ticket, but if he wanted to give me some money to buy some Pooh crap while I'm there that would be ok too! So yes, I am going even though I signed the napkin saying I wouldn't. I know that the napkin is long gone, but since Cisco knew that I would destroy it he took a picture of it, I thought that I had erased it, apparently not. Damn those digital cameras...what ever happened to the 110 rolls that took years to develop!

TMI...TMI...TMI...

Beware...Too Much Information can be dangerous.

I swear that is how I feel about one of my new co-workers. I guess there is someone like this in every establishment because I remember at Mandalay Bay there was someone like this as well. Wanting to share way too information about themselves. Let's call her A, well A decided to tell me all about her boyfriend today. Now let's keep in mind that I have never worked with this girl before. I guess it may be good that people feel so comforatable around me but I think that I would rather her not feel the need to tell me that she has sex with her well endowed boyfriend everyday and how good he is. She also felt the need to ask me how my sex life was. Now let's remember that when she was telling me this we were on the selling floor. I was surprised that my mouth didn't drop open. I just couldn't believe that she would feel the need to share this information with me. She also is such a lady. She thought it would be a good idea to burp quite loudly while a customer was walking by. Another girl we work with M said that she also farts in a customer's presence. How nice. I thought that my night of TMI would be over at the end of the night, but about 10 minutes before closing she wanted to air her frustration about having to still be there and the store not closing yet, since she wanted to go home and have sex and get something to eat. Gee aren't I stupid I keep forgetting that they fall into the same catagory! It's been a long time since I have had things to write about concerning work and I always get a kick out of other people's work stories. I have ever since I was little because my dad used to come home and tell me all of his, I never met these people but I knew who they were just by the stories he came home with everyday. I guess now I have my own to tell...again.

Has It Really Been That Long...

Wow, nearly a month since I have been on here. That's hard to believe! That's quite a dry spell isn't it. Sorry to all of my loyal fans out there. It's been pretty busy around here, with school starting and me having a second job and all. Culinary School is unfortunately being put on hold for right now. I had to put my priorities together and sadly that doesn't include school right now. I was cut down to 3 day's a week at my little office job, so I decided that it would be a good idea to get a second job. I thought that it would be funny to add that into the mix. It's definatley a change of pace and I can honestly say that my feet have been killing me ever since I started this job. I am just so not used to being on my feet for three hours straight let alone 8 hours. This job is great because you even get lunch...however you have to clock out for it. It's ok, it's better than nothing right? It's funny because my uncle has been waiting for calls from the union hall for him to take some work, and it's been really slow there as well. So he's been taking unemployment and hoping that they call him for more that a one day job. He told me that instead of working his ass off for eight hours he would rather not work that one day and take unemployment. I couldn't do that. So when I told him that I was working two jobs and that I didn't have a day off from both on the same day, that if I was off at one I was working at the other he was telling me how depressing that would be. I continued to tell him that I didn't have much of a choice...but it took everything in me to not say, "Don't you think it's more depressing not having a job at all?" I swear I wonder why people don't think about what they say sometimes. I know that some people just can't see the glass as half full but, wouldn't you rather have two part time jobs, regardless of the day's off than to not have any job at all? Oh, well we have all lost hope on this particular family member years ago, so it's just best to keep our mouths shut and avoid confrontation, just hope for the best and be thankful that we are not where he is in his life.

So as I continue my little post before beddy bye and another long day tomorrow, I bid thee fair well and hope that it doesn't take another month for me to write.
