Don't touch my Knuts! I'll get really mad

Aug 14, 2005 20:33

Quite a while since the last update. That’s due to the fact that I have lately been immersing myself in seven-hundred-and-thirty-something pages of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The movie comes out in November, w00t! …And I have been working and shopping. I have not the time nor desire to go into great detail, so I won’t! Instead, you get this:


I went to Pierre Bossier Mall…twice. Clothes for school at Penny’s. FullMetal Alchemist T-shirt, three packs of FullMetal Alchemist cards, and a gift card with a pirate on it (for myself…with which I purchased my FullMetal Alchemist cards) from Hot Topic; Under the Black Flag (a book on the history and legends of pirates), a different style of FullMetal Alchemist cards, and two boxes of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavored Beans from Waldenbooks; Ramune from SunCoast. Oh, it seems Mom trusts me too much because I gave her a vomit-flavored jelly bean and she ate it. EVEN after she asked what flavor it was and I didn’t tell her. >_>.

I didn’t have to work Saturday- it’s about dang time they gave me a Saturday off! I bought Mom and myself movie tickets for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…since all of my friends saw it when I had to work. Then Mom saw a Tony-the-Tiger-hot-air-balloon-thing at WalMart and made me pull in there because she thought they might be-giving-away-free-prizes and she wanted-to-take-a-look. Umm the actual mascot was supposed to be there, but he was like invisible or something. So I ran about the store asking all the employees where we could find Tony the Tiger. Then we bought some fried okra and some drinks and went to Best Buy wheeeeere I bought the Gwen Stefani CD and another Aquabats CD for 11.99$ each. They STILL didn’t have DNAngel Volume 4…so I bought Gohan’s Secret, the third part of the Great Saiyaman Saga. Collection’s nearly complete now. But I frickin’ hate how over half the episodes don’t even involve Gohan; instead they focus on his dead father and some stupid tournament he’s in. I mean…he’s already dead. What’s the point in fighting other dead people?! You can’t kill them! “Oh look, you stepped out of the ring. That means I win.” LAME-STUPID-BORING-PLZ.K.THANKS. Now let’s go back to Gohan…you know- the Great Saiyaman. Since this is supposedly his saga and all.

That night we went to Olive Garden to use a gift card Mom got for her birthday. It was 10 minutes after we sat down before we first saw our waitress. 1. She said hello and ran off, without even taking our drink orders. She returned after five minutes. 2. We didn’t actually get our drinks until a good time after. Took forever for breadsticks. Took even longer for the appetizer. Took a century and a half for our main course. 3. When the salad comes out at the same time as the entrée, you suck as a waitress. We got a refill on breadsticks ten minutes after we requested them. I was just really pissed off. Especially because the people at the table beside us came after we did, but always had breadsticks, always had refills A.S.A.P., and even had their main course before we did. …And they had the same waitress.

We left and went to Sam’s. I had absolutely no intention of buying anything. But I came out with five DVDs. Now now, it isn’t actually as bad as it sounds. I have been wanting both Anchorman and Old School for a long time. I love all Will Ferrell movies. And they came TOGETHER! For 17.77$!! It was the weirdest coincidence. I mean, they have sold two movies by sets forever. But they are randomly coupled. So it was just weird to see them together like that. The other three are the Harry Potter movies. They also came with authenticated wizard coins!!! XD. Those costs somewhere around 37.88$-ish.

I realize that this is longer than I hinted it would be. But I can’t leave this part out. Really, for my own sanity, I can’t leave this out. Skip it if you wish. There’s a lady at work who seems to love giving me a hard time. It’s like food to her. And that’s why it doesn’t surprise me that she is so obese. Perhaps I’ve mentioned her before here, her name is Nicole. She works in customer service and she is absolutely vile. I have had the fortune of working when she has not, but that fortune expired last week. I honestly think she hates me and that it is her mission to insult me and be rude all the time…just to me. And I can’t figure out why, since I barely even see her and when I do I am completely respectful. I always do what she tells me to- even when she says, “Go outside to the road and pick up trash in the ditch.” >_> Yes, it’s happened before. Anyway we have a theft alert system at the exit; but it isn’t very reliable. Sometimes it goes off when no one is even near it. Thursday I was bagging groceries for a customer and I put them all in her buggy and was helping her out, when the theft alarm beeped. I told her to ignore it because I watched the cashier scan every item with my own eyes. Nothing was left in the buggy unscanned. Then Nicole shouts at me, “Colin! Do not just let her go! Search all of her bags!” So I run all of the bags through the detector and nothing happens. I check her purse. Nothing happens. I ask her to walk through it. The retarded thing beeps again so I asked her to empty her pockets and there wasn’t anything there! After consuming time from both of us, Nicole was finally satisfied enough to calm back down from behind her cozy little service desk. But that wasn’t such a big deal. Mrs. Brenda told me that I could get off at 4:15 instead of 4:45 if I wanted- that way I didn’t have to take a 30-minuite lunch. Lunches aren’t paid for anyway so it’s pointless for me to stay. At 4:15 I clocked out and asked for my paycheck. Unfortunately Nicole was the only one behind the desk. “Are you gone for the day?” in such a rude tone. “Yes ma’am.” “Who told you you could go?” “Mrs. Brenda.” *Attitude increases* “Is Mrs. Brenda here right now?” “Umm she may have left…I don’t know.” *Assitude increases even more* “THAT’S my point. Mrs. Brenda didn’t tell me that. I didn’t know!” “…Sorry.” I certainly don’t see what I did wrong or how it would be my fault anyway! I was told by a higher authority I could leave at that time…so I left at that time!!! Stop. bitching.

TODAY she came waddling in again. Much to my dismay. As if a 6:00 - 2:30 shift weren’t bad enough on the day before school. And the theft alert went off on another customer. Knowing full well Nicole was there, and knowing full well I didn’t want to hear her barking, I decided to fix the problem. After I get over there Nicole yells, “Colin! Let the customer go!!” I just stood there thinking, “WTF?! You’re such a PMSing idiot!” Why can’t she just make up her mind?! FINALLY 2:30!! I brought the buggies in off the lot and clocked out, then went to the magazine racks. ::Intercom:: “Colin, come to the service desk!” WHAT IS IT NOW?! I can’t even get her off my back when I’m clocked out! “Are you leaving?!” “Yes ma’am. It’s 2:30 and my shift has ended.” I got there eight and a half hours before now, darn right my shift has ended! “What was the conversation we had last time about you leaving?” “You told me that when I leave earlier than what my schedule indicates I am to tell someone at the service desk before I leave.” “NO! It’s not only when you leave early, it’s ANYTIME you leave! I didn’t know you were leaving!” B.Freaking.S. It is clearly written on the sheet of paper in front of your face (if you didn’t mistake it for food). It has the names of all workers coming in today with their shift indicated next to it. “Tell me if there are any buggies out on the lot. Then I’ll decide if you can go or not.” “No ma’am; I brought them all in before I clocked out.” “Fine!” I can feel it now…One day I am going to call her Sir instead. Tell me if there are any buggies on the lot and I’ll decide whether or not it was an accident.

[The End!] At last. Ah it feels good. Enjoy it now. School starts soon >_<.

At the start of the day, I had 100$. At the end, I had a knut, a sickle, and a galleon.
