So yeah….. I worked Wednesday….. I kinda remember it through the haze of alcohol that was Thursday… so I’ll try and say some stuff about that….. like Fuck Western Union. Also…. Thursday was just awesome…. day off and family and shit… and then work today… which was good. Also… first will be my section on cute boys… all from not work this time….. but yeah…. it shall be cut first… that way if one wants to skip it one does not have to look at it.
Yeah….. to start…. my cousin Dave. Just… he is so so hot I cannot get over it. I mean his body is just flawless. I mean watching him swim… he just has the hottest legs….. so long and not that hairy and just perfectly shaped and muscled. And his arms follow in the same category…. and he just has the cutest smile in the world…. it makes me melt.
So then…. Disney Channel Games….. yeah… tons more of hot boys. Easy ones….. Joe Jonas still makes me melt. Nick Jonas is so fucking competitive and it’s insane. Joe is all and ass and arrogant as fuck…. which I die for. But Nick is all quiet and competitive and his teams has lost twice and he just looks so pissed and upset after every loss… it’s sexy.
Cole Sprouse is still the hottest kid ever. I just…… yeah.
Then… new people…. all foreign from Disney around the world. First Farez bin Juraimi….. from Disney Singapore…. oh God that kid is cute. Yeah…. I have a massive weakness for Asian boys. From France…. Martin Barlan…. is just the fucking sexiest thing in the world… and his French accent just kills me. Sadly…. it’s so hard to find pictures of either. And I want pictures… lots of them…. especially of Martin Barlan….. he’s just gorgeous… and not a little kid either…. probably 17 or 18…. lives in Paris too.
So Wednesday. It was a good shift if I remember so. 2-9. Laurel was there…. so we had a blast….. it was awesome. I totally drove her to work too… it was one of those crazy days… I had to drive my mother t meet her sisters (family drama there that I will recap later) then I had to pick up Laurel…. my phone died right after getting directions from her… plus the receptions was shitty…. but I found where she lived and got her. Then at 5 I took my break to go pick Adam up…. he had some horror stories to tell about his car.
So….. as for the shift… I barely remember who was there… I know Alex Grotevant was there that day… impossible for me to forget that. But beyond that…. I got nothing. Linda was there…. she made me make Lauren Hickey do babyfood…… Lauren was horrified by how sucky a job that was. But it got busy and Linda left at 5…. so it got postponed until today to be finished. I talked with Linda about enforcing our shitty new no hassle policy…. yeah she was all… do it for the average Joe person, for things where it’s only over like less than a dollar. But use judgment and say no to scammers…. I was like…. Oh God Thank You Yes.
Yeah…. then came 7 PM and I took over service desk….. and made a complete mess of everything apparently. I thought I might have numbers… the same as my override…. so 415. I tried it and it worked…. but it was actually Ann’s numbers. So using them all night…. Ann had been there that morning… so all my work rang up on Ann’s numbers and so went to her drawer…. but I was using laurel’s drawer. So it made a mess for Bill the next morning. However…. everything did finally balance. Also… lottery balanced…. I was so happy.
But the real fun came at like 8:20. Got a Western Union….. was nervous as shit…. I’ve never done it… but it worked pretty well. The system interface isn’t that bad. But yeah…. of course my first one is like complicated as shit too. It’s international sending money to Ghana. It required extra features like a security question… all of which I didn’t know how to do. It took like 30 minutes for me to figure it out and shit…. mostly because I just wasn’t familiar with shit…. but I got it…. but while doing that there was another guy picking up money that had to wait…. his was a lot quicker…. but still. I finished up at 9:00. I hadn’t done trash or balanced lottery or anything…. took me another 20 minutes to get everything else closed and shit. Just fuck Western Union for taking so long and being a pain in the ass.
Also….. Holly. I totally forgot about it. We talked for like 20 minutes…. yeah…. I totally love her. I had no idea she used to be front end. She all came up to me and said I heard you’re the one who got rid of Dave Allard. I was all… what….. am I a legend? But yeah… she used to be front end and could not stand him so we bitched back and forth about how sucky Dave is and how sucky PD is and such. It was a blast…. I still totally want that girl so bad.
Okay… so work today. Also awesome. I got rid of the less than great pretty early…. Phyllis for only an hour and fucking Dick England for only an hour. Of course in that one hour Dick managed to be a total fuckwad. First…. he took a 35 minute break. And worst….. Phyllis was told she was going on break after Dick…. so she watched and saw how long it had been and bitched for the rest of the shift asking if I had spoken to Dick blah blah. I did speak to Paul Dwyer about it… but I’m not going to aggravate Dick and cause another scene when I can just leave that to Paul.
So after that…. all good…. Chris McNamara… Rob Duffany…. Matt B. …. Lauren…. Alanna… Krissy… Amanda…. it was all good. At 5 in came Derek… Jen… Fawn in SD and Ryan Silva at 5:30. Just a good crew. We got shit done… no one to give me lip back in a bad way. It was nice. I was very happy.
So… the down side…. God Chris McNamara makes me so sad at times. I mean… watching him just throw himself at Sam Adams….. it’s been painful…. he’s just so needy with her and it’s all…. I thought you were a little better than that. So today he had Amanda Damery on him all the time….. but what was bad was that Brianna came in with Alex Connoly and just ignored Chris and Chris spent the rest of the shift looking like a kicked puppy…. all why does Brianna not like me. I’m just like….. God kid……Brianna sucks… the girl’s a dip… she’s practically banging PD for CDH keys (Okay…. maybe not). But still…. she’s just a blah with no motivation and no thinking and you can just see what kinda attitude and bitchiness she has. Just not worth it. And she’s hanging out with Alex Connoly….. I mean…. he’s the biggest piece of shit ever. Chris just has the worst taste in girls… and gets all sad at them…. it’s just painful to watch… because he’s the nicest and sweetest kid in the world and deserves better.
Also…. Rob Duffany was supposed to leave at 5:30…. I was busy and doing stuff…. and I realized he was still there at like 5:45… so I walked up to him and asked him what he was doing and he was all just what….. I was supposed to leave at 5:30? He just kinda forgot what time it was and when he was leaving…. it was amusing. He just stayed for like a few more minutes and then left.
Also…. shit breaking down. Register 4 just died. I mean it resets the printer constantly and then was so slow it registered like one scan per minute. Just ridiculous. Then Selfscan 2 broke down and wouldn’t accept money for a while…. besides already having ran out of $5’s. Then register 9 froze in the middle of a EFT…. but it reset itself after singing off the register. It was just all…. what the fuck. And being down to only 6 registers is surprisingly difficult…. makes me remember how sucky it is to have 3 fucking selfscans and so few actual registers.
Then Linda’s pet project of the day….. code check on baby food. Lauren so hated that Wednesday…. so I gave it to Rob Duffany for a bit, then Amanda and then Jared… but they got it all done.
Also…. thunder and lightning was awesome. Had to keep Jared inside for a bit. That’s when he got to do babyfood… but then we had no carts in the store and the lightning had at least stopped for a minute… so I had to send him back out.
I think that covers most of the fun of the day…. it was an enjoyable shift.
So…. now Thursday. So my cousins called….. Scott and Dave were by themselves with Grammy and Grampy and their mother….. just shitty for them… so they begged us to come down…. we did. We went swimming with them….. it was fun.
When me and Toph first got there everyone was down at the water except Grammy…. so she was up at the cottage being old and senile and we kinda walked into it… and she tried to keep us for a bit and shit… but we ran for the water.
After swimming we went on a booze run….. Toph and Scott bought beer for them and I bought a $3 bottle of Sherry. I drank it in an hour…. it was bad stuff. While I was drinking I played Risk with Scott and Dave…. taking over for Grammy…. who Dave was stupid enough to ask her to play. She hadn’t done terrible… but it took them two hours just to explain it to her and she still couldn’t remember anything about it. The Sherry made talking to her totally better.
So then we headed back to Sandwich for cocktail hour at Hemispheres…. just to kill time before dinner… because my parents were late. It was fun… and dinner was cool… the food is a lot better there now. I had like 3 or 4 more drinks there.
So after we headed back to my house with Scott and Dave and sat around watched movies and drank more beer…. it was a fun night…. I woke up with a nice hangover today.
But man…. my grandmother it just so completely gone. I mean she can retain nothing… barely has a clue what’s going on. And my grandfather is grumpy and unhappy about everything… though I can’t entirely fault him…. his life must be kinda shitty with her like that now. Also… the very fist thing my grandfather asked my cousins about me when he got there was if I’d lost more weight. It’s like thanks…. I’m only a person when I’m not fat…. nice.
So…. now drama on the other side. So yeah… Tuesday night my uncle Bobby tried to commit suicide again. He failed. He’s blown through $75,000 in the past 6 months on drugs for him and his daughter, Sierra. Sierra has lost custody of her kids….. we think her brother, Christian did it. (He’s the only one of them that I think is a good person…. he had a shitty streak and was a big failure, drugs, alcohol, crashing cars…. similar to my brother…. but he’s really cleaned his life up which makes me so happy for him). But anyway… we think he called Children’s Services on his sister…. because God knows someone needed to. I’ve told my mother to do it and my Aunts to do it….. but they wouldn’t. Bobby keeps saying the kids are the only thing he has left to live for and that’s why he committed suicide because they were gone. It’s just a mess. He’s 2 months behind on mortgage payments too and they’re gonna foreclose on his house. He’s just a mess.
So anyway…. my mother and 4 of her sisters went up and tried to get him to come back with them…. but he won’t. I don’t know what they’re gonna do. It’s just a mess.
