It was a Scott night--woot. Oh yeah. But work itself sucked. I HATE IT. HATE IT. I'm sure if I post too much about it someone will flip out. But I do hate it. I'm usually fine with it. But it's gotten to the point where it isn't any fun. AT ALL. I don't like the person who I'm working with and it's a trickle down effect.
Scott was sort of supportive--but generally he just told me that I "needed to get over it. Rules change, new managers come...you just have to deal and move on." Right. Mr. I work there three times a month. RIGHT. But he's male--I find that guys can get over it easier. I love my babies...that's part of my problem. I want the teens happy. I want them listening and in control--but I don't want them unhappy either.
Scott was strangely nice today--despite large bouts of my anger and unhappiness. Although when I told him I was going to call myself on my cell phone he said sarcastically "because that's really cool" at his meaning of my patheticness. But Daniel appreciated my excitement over my new phone and ringtone. Scott just told me that I needed to get the emperor one that said "you will answer your phone." He's too funny.
I also whipped out the name "Anakim" for my gaming and I waited for his reaction. He went "wow, that's very clever." Go me.
I did guess correctly, he is an only child. Again, go me. He didn't want to paintball--so it sounds like Bryan is the man for that. YAY Bryan. Yes yes, I know--in the middle of a Scott rant.
What else? I managed to kill Scott a few times, not many. But the ones I did or was close to killing he was like "wow that was actually quite good." Or "that was a smart move." We had our usual banter of how he's the best at the games and how I'm the worst. But that's how we banter...everyone including him knows that I'm getting better.
He made some snarky remark to Daniel and I said "well, Mr. Scott is just upset that he isn't getting hooded in may." Scott snorted--but it's all good.
What else, what else?
I talked about "venti iced sugar-free skim caramelmacciatos" and he said something about a lot of sugar in them and Daniel and I both said "not with the SUGAR FREE vanilla." Oh yeah.
I told Scott that he acted older than me most of time and he said "uhhh yeah. I do."
It wasn't exactly a compliment... the dude needs to lighten up.
He also said that my former boss was looking to hire good people when I was talking about my hire. So it was definitely a compliment.
I also told him that my thesis is due monday and he smiled at me and asked if it would be done. I told him "ish--it'll be doneish." He laughed and wished me luck in a pleasant--unscott like tone. It was very nice.
I told him that he was going to abandon me at work. And he said "yes, but I always come back. So it's not forever."
Two more weeks and I see him again... *sigh*
