Work, work, Christmas shopping, more work, Christmas time and yet more work.
It's been like ages since I've done a real update. Then again the last week to ten days haven't been much of my own. If I wasn't working, I was taking Stefanie to work or doing some sort of Christmas shopping or taking Stefanie and Mallory out to do their shopping. I swear in the past two weeks I've barely read two or three whole books and usually I would have had about eight to ten read. And I'm behind on my message boards since there have been days when it was work, home to get changed and then out the door until two or three. By the time I got home I was exhausted and died as soon as I hit the pillow.
We had our work Christmas party on December 21st and it was fun. We had food, karaoke and our Secret Santa gifts. Matt had me and gave me a $20 giftcard to Borders. *happy dance*. We were going to watch Night at the Museum but chose not too. Instead we moved from the theatre were the party was held to the lobby. Chris and Tasheena jumped on and destroyed the standee of Night at the Museum then we hauled it out to the compactor. Some played football while others talked and played games.
Working as been taking a toll on me and I'm at the point of snapping or killing customers for their stupidity. This past week alone I worked Sunday, Monday, Wednesday through Saturday. The week before that I had about 23 hours and this past week I had 33 point something hours. Sure, to some it doesn't seem like much but you try dealing with bitchy people, cocky teenagers and those who just piss you off. I swear those I dealt with kept switching their orders around, spilling popcorn all over the clean glass and counters and just simply being pigs by leaving napkins, straw papers and piles of salt on my clean counters. I finally had enough of people who want me to toss out their trash and told someone to put it in the trashcan that was next to them when they tried to have me throw out their trash.
On Friday some customer said that Tasheena should smile more or be more polite. This was the same customer who kept coming back to the stand for more stuff instead of doing it all at once like a normal person. Then said person came back to say that a game ate his money and Tasheena told him to go to the box office for a refund. He moved to the right a bit and stared at me while I was in the candy cabinet getting out candy. Hello, Mr. Asshole, do I look like the box office? I may have been holding a box and been in front of a box shaped cabinet but it lacks the contents to make it an office, therefore it is not a box office. He finally got lost. A kid told us the game ate him money too and Tasheena told him to get a refund at box as well. He just stared at us and repeated himself again. After Tasheena repeated herself again, I finally spoke up and told him to go to the box office. The little bastard finally comprehended it.
And to add to the hell of working during the holidays when all the demon spawn are off from school, I had to deal with not one but three new concessionists who don't know their ass from first base. One of them, West, was doing so horrible that he required more training aside from the traditional three days we all usually got. Josh and Kayla aren't much better. They've all been there at least two weeks now and should know what they are doing but none do. They need to all quit, along with Regina from box office who is causing some trouble.
On Christmas Eve Stefanie and I went to my aunt's, my father's sister, who we haven't seen in like twelve years. It was okay, not as bad as I thought it would be. We missed my uncle, his second wife and son by a few minutes. My great aunt Marie, my grandfather's sister, was also there. We were there from about seven until three A.M.
Being around them, I think I know I fit in somewhat better with that side of the family then my mom's side. We Zubers are more round in shape there and also my Aunt Marie is good at art and interested in history, both things my dad was into as well. We had the History Channel on and some sort of show talking about the plagues, floods and other dull stuff that was mentioned in the bible. Of course I recalled my mom mentioning that my aunt was a devote, strongly religious person so she believed it all really happened because god did it but I go with the natural disasters of floods, pestilence and other natural disasters. I need the scientific proof of all this stuff. You just can't tell me that it happened and expect me to believe it. A book written a nearly two thousand years again isn't very believable and lacks the solid proof I need.
For Christmas I got a few things like:
Brokeback Mountain DVD (As I said to Stef and Mallory when opening it, "Gay man sex up the butt." or something along those lines. I have it on the digital camera.
A fleece down blanket.
$50 Borders giftcard.
A thong (A jokelike gift from Stefanie. Not like I'll ever wear that buttfloss.)
Oh and somewhere in this time frame Stefanie, Sean, Chris, Matt, Ariana, Dave, Jess and I went bowling after work. It was actually fun and I came in second during all the games I played.
Today I was off from work but work tomorrow. Then I'm of until Saturday. I plan on sleeping in all week since I got no more then six and seven hours of sleep lately.
Tonight Stefanie and I are going over to Mallory's to drink and hang out since Mallory's folks are having some people over. Then tomorrow morning I work from 10:45 to 5:15.
