Well today, sucked, I woke up at around 8:45, and pretty much cleaned my room before mom's b/f came by to keep remodeling my room I spent from around 9:30 till 11:45 pretty much keeping myself busy while mom and mom's b/f pretty much cut our old apple tree which made me kinda sad cuz that tree made a lot of good apples in it's prime but oh well. around 11:45 I went to work which was pretty crappy all day. During the morning Ed and Randy where there with me, Eddie helped out cleaning the lot but Randy pretty much sat around and did NOTHing at all, dude the guy's worked there for a year you think he would have better motivation than just sit down and make himself look like he's doing work when the boss goes by but w/e I really don't like him he's one of those ppl I have to just nod and smile whenever he wants me to do something. I helped a few ppl today load things in there car this 22 year old guy came up to me and said "hey can u help me load 32 bags of gravel?" keep in mind these bags weigh roughly 40 pounds so me and this guy did 32 bags loaded it in the little flatbed cart we have at work and then after he payed for it we went to his truck and unloaded the 32 bags to the bed of his pickup THAT was fun, until I broke my back half a second later (not literally). After that I went on my first 15 min break and that was of coarse boring as hell too I just sat around and I found in my pocket 4 bucks that this disabled guy gave me as tip because he couldn't load 4 bags of like 10 pound glue for tile floors, so I was pretty excited with that concept. Later when I got out it sped up so badly I couldn't even keep up, Randy went MIA and Eddie went to his lunch so i was pretty much out there in the lot cleaning everything and I'm like what the fuck!? why can't anyone help me I told my boss twice "I can get the work done if SOME ppl stopped being lost on pourpose and actually help me!" and my boss is like "yea I'll talk to him" which I totally doubt. Later I pretty much chilled till 4:30 cuz that's when I had my lunch break pretty much called mom and found out that Jose ran out of joint compound for the walls so he pretty much left my room remodeling half assed which means *Gasp* one more fucking day added to the project I swear my room will never be done... ever... After that I went to Jo jo's and got a hot dog and the girl that was working there was such a bitch she knows I work there and when u work at Home Depot you're supposed to get half off on what u buy so I only had 2 bucks and hot dogs were one for 2 bucks so she's like "oh it's 4 bucks" I'm like "I usually pay $2" and she's like "well sorry I didn't know if u worked at Home Depot or not" and her boyfriend was there all over her too I was about to call Dennis (the manager at the hot dog stand) and just tell hime dude ur fucking girls are fucking in the damn cart, it was sickening. I went back in after the puke festival with 45 mins left to my lunch and walked around I bought a new surge protector for my room because the old one I had pretty much sucked the new one's nice it's got like $150,000 protection for all the things u got plugged into it I was pretty much adding up everything that would be plugged into it and it didn't even add up to $1,000 so I said it was perfect. Went back in at 5:30 from my break and did a sweep of the lot. I went into electrical and pretty much helped there till my last 15 min break. Some guy was like yes I need 10/2 wire and that shit's huge and Shawn from electrical had to help me out he called me stupid but Shawn's cool like that. Shawn pretty much took over the guy wanted 150 feet of the wire but he ended up buying 250 cuz Shawn talked him into it. I had to take the wire with me to the front cashiers and that was like carrying 9 year old from like the basement all the way to my room those damn cables are heavy... I went on my last 15 at around 7:50 and Bob from Hardware came up to me and said "Oh Jose some guy's going to come and ask u if u can help him load up a saw table" so I was just like eh that stuff can't be THAT bad, and of coarse I was wrong. I went outside and helped a gentleman load up some sheetrock on his truck and then the guy's wife came up to me and asked if I could load up the saw table the guy's like "I hope you got you're ball strap on cuz this shit's like 300 pounds" I'm like this can't be that bad.. I swear I thought I was going to have an actual annurism... it was disturbing but when it was all loaded up the dude was like "here 5 bucks" so I got a 5 buck tip I was so happy... After closing I had to help one of the last customers load up some laminate flooring to their truck so Steve (The assnt. Man.) was walking by and I asked him if he could help me out tie the stuff into the dude's SUV so that was yet another bummer for me. As the store was already closed and as my night drew into a close my boss comes up to me and says "u wanna work tommorow instead of 1:30 to 7:30 just 1:30 to 9:30?" and me being an idiot I said yes so I'm fucking working 8 hours tommorow which is time and a half, I swear ppl I've built up more than 40 hours of work this week my paycheck BETTER BE FUCKING HUGE NEXT WEEK or else...
