Yawn
Stupid day today...
I woke up to the phone ringing and picked it up. It was Josh. "Yay! A call from my boyfriend first thing in the morning!" I thought...
... First thing I hear is "Hey... Kim wants to know if you can come in at 1:30"
Oh goody. For those of you who don't know, Kim is a lady I work with. She's another CSS and has been doing it for a couple years. Aside from her constant hypochondria and superority complex, she's a nice lady. Kinda flakey when it comes to taking days for people as a favor.
For the past months, she's been sick and I've mostly covered for her. After her 'sickness' passed, she promised I could choose any day I wanted to take off and she'd cover for me. No questioned asked and without wanting a return favor.
Every time I asked since she's wanted something. If I asked for a day off, she'd have to have one in exchange. She'd even change the subject when I'd remind her of her promise.
So I told Josh I'd call her back.
I called and asked immeadiately to talk to our manager Patty. Kim didn't even know it was me when she answered.
I told Patty how inconsiderate it was to ask Josh to call me for them. I also said that I was sick of favors for Kim. Patty understood. She said that Kim had been doing 12-hour shifts for the last two days (I doubt it) and would it hurt for a couple extra hours on my check? Besides, Patty said, Kim's 11-year old (?!) daughter was at home alone (?!.. and?) and Kim needed to go take care of her.
Okay... so I went at 1:30.
And Kim fucking stayed until FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE FUCKING AFTERNOON!!!!
I was scheduled to come in at 3pm! When Patty asked Kim about her daughter, Kim made this "er, um" noise and suddenly became interested in something else. So she lied to Patty and me and everyone else she told her story to. For what reason? Hell if I know. It wasn't so busy that my presence would have been the deciding factor in successful sales that day...
So... I will never, ever do another favor for Kim unless she's in the hospital in a condition that is something other than stable. Patty supports me in this decision and I will remind Kim of how pissed I am every time she asks a favor.
In other news, I saw Josh for an hour and 15 minutes today because of Kim. This sucks.
Josh and I went to Scales 'N Tails yesterday where he bought a small Rosehair tarantula and all the stuff to make her a nice little home. I'm getting one too when I get paid. He used this coconut husk shit and it's kinda yucky... I think I'll use sand as bedding. The coconut seems too cold for the spider to like.
Does anyone know what kind of bedding these spiders prefer?
I'm taking the setlist from the Bjork concert I went to and am gonna burn a CD with the live versions of those songs. I think the BOX collection has them all... if anyone wants a copy, I'll be happy to send.. just e-mail me your address if I don't have it. I'll try and make an album cover from one of the pictures from that concert at bjork.com
It's gona rock. Aside from the occasional "tink yew"'s from Bjork and the crowd clapping/sobbing that Josh and I heard at Redrocks, the live versions on CD are basically what we heard.
