alright here's a recap of what happened to me this week:
the a.c is my car broke when my battery died. it was a twofer. I learned that if would ONLY work when i drove above the speed of 40. But, of course...they changed the speed limits on I-4 to various speeds during the day, so my a.c. only works 50% time. AWESOME!
which brings me to another point... they changed the speed limits on I-4. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA. THE SPEED LIMIT ON I-FUCKING -4 SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED TO LESS THAN 60. Seriously. I have road rage and anxiety AS IT IS...why would you do that? Seriously?!
setting up for the convention center, I stubbed my heel on a dolly. its kind of swollen but i survived the attack.
i stepped on my favorite pair of red twilight aviators. this would not have been a big deal...but I paid 4.80 for them at Forever 21 and they IMMEDIATELY ran out a week later. THIS would not have been a problem because I bought TWO pair when I got them... but I decided that I loved the version at Urban (they were like a mint green color) so I bought spray paint and decided to have a little project. Well, that little project didn't turn out so well and I ruined the glasses and had to throw them away. So, I lost out on TWO pairs of 4.80 sunglasses. Cost at Urban Outfitters: 14.00 Yeah. Not even gonna happen.
Some CRAZY! ! ! lady at the Home Show (which is held at the convention center) was AWFULLY rude to Mel while I was in the bathroom. We had closed the prize wheel and she came after we closed it. And during intervals we're not allowed to give prizes because that's how you run out quickly. WELL, she decided that was "JUST NOT FAIR" and badgered Mel about giving her a cookie or chocolate (do we look like a fucking bakery?) and then tried to steal our flower pot decorations...to which Mel replied "Ma'am..those are decorations... my boss would make me pay for that." CRAZY! I meet the WEIRDEST fucking people working at this radio station.
I take that back. I've met AMAZING PEOPLE. But our listeners are IN-FUCKING-SANE. They are ruthless and dont care what they have to do to get something for free.
Which brings me to another elderly man who came up to the table and Mel said he was a regular...well he didnt win a prize but Mel gave it to him anyway to make him happy...and IT WASNT ENOUGH... AND I QUOTE : "Look at me. I'm BLACK. Do you think i'm only going to bring ONE OTHER person with me to the movies? I'm going to bring TONS of people. Give me more of those passes!" Mel and I just stared blankly at each other. "Sorry, sir. We only have a certain amount for the weekend. So we really can't just give you more." That pissed him off. He rolled his eyes and made a little click noise with his tongue. ::shrugs:: Sorry about your luck, sir.
Met a really nice old couple from Wisconsin, though. So cute. They have been married 53 years and we just so in sync with each other.
When we left and got back to the station I had brought a change of clothes and stayed while Mel did the Mix 105.1 Saturday Night Party Mix...so I got to hang and choose songs and I played suggestions that Brandie gave me... I even got to learn about the computers and how to work the system.
I mustered up the energy and even went out with Mel, Anne Marie and we met up with Nancy. Saw cops chases some dude, put him to the ground then a COP ended up in an ambulance. So crazy. Saw Reva, Heather, Veronica, Kim, Devin and Lauren. just ended up having WAY too much fun and ended a crazy week of shitty luck on a good note. :)
