so the first set of new seasonal people started yesterday. people are already having issues. especially with the one girl. they all said she gave them attitude etc and no one likes her already. john got his ass handed to him by our boss. i am starting to think that rich really does have VERY different conversations with him than he does with everyone else. granted this was the first time i was ever really around to hear him chew john out for real BUT i can only assume that he is hard on him bc he needs it.kind of like a parent to his kids. plus i am never really ever in trouble for anything so i don't ever have to have one on one wrath. plus i'm me and he probably thinks i would burst into tears or something. i should hope he doesn't think im that sensitive hahaha anyways i'm getting off topic. it's sucks for everyone else that none of these people ever show their sucky side to me. i suppose it is bc i was the one involved in getting them a job. so all the attitude filled phone calls everyone takes for me everyday for people looking for jobs and the so called resistance everyone else is getting when they work with the new people i never have to experience. so i really don't know how they feel. but what i think is that they need to suck it up and let them know who the hell is boss. why stand around and get angry at someone you just met when you KNOW they don't know anything yet bc it is their first day. they will either continue thinking they know everything or they will see the error of their ways and try to learn something. it's so important people don't just give up on them and act like assholes. they need to learn to brush that shit off and move on. if everyone just puts on their sourfaces we are going to have a bunch of untrained losers walking around our store the entire christmas season. and so go the woes of being HR.
in other fun work news, i went to breakfast before work the other day with john and his gf and so i came in to work in normal clothes so then helene and nichole were pestering me non stop about where i was and who i was with. basically they called me slutty and then started asking me questions about what the guy looked like that i was shacking up with and obviously i sexed him up so hardcore i had to take him to breakfast the next morning. those two are trouble. sometimes it is fun to let people make their own assumptions than to tell them everything i do. i like a bit of mystery.
i told john my first impressions of him were that i thought he was kind of condescending. i think he got offended. that guy is so sensitive sometimes.hahaha. i don't really care what you thought of me the first time you met me as long as we are friends now and we are having a good time. i would be curious of course. someone alsotold john he looked like he was 37. he's only 28. hahahahaaha suuucks.
i got really excited today bc monica and i were chatting about birthing and that whole pregnancy dillema and finally i found someone else who agrees with me fully that birthing is gross and disgusting and that she also would not like to actually have to deal with the whole being preggo part. we don't want to have a baby belly and to have to squeeze that thing out of our vagina holes. i told her i would probably be throwing up while giving birth at the sight of everything. granted i could actually see over my baby hump. then she happened to bring it up later in front of a bunch of coworkers including my bosses so i had to explain how i think it's a magical miracle of life but no offense no fucking thank you. i told my boss i would rather adopt than have to go through that shit. but i'm not entirerly opposed to the idea bc i'm not in love with anyone and feel the need to have their fetus. plus i've never been one of those people who HAS to have someone or some animal or some everlasting need for a mini me. i kind of want a dog right now bc it would be fun to play with and toss around BUT i remember i have to spend even more of my paycheck paying for food and doctor bills plus i'm not home all day so that's not very nice for a dog.
i told Fonz i will probably be one of those people who adopts like 10 teenagers. i'll just skip the diaper phase and go straight to the i'm going to choke the shit out of you and have all my hair turn gray bc of the stress phase. plus i feel like it's worse for teenagers bc no one wants them bc they are old and everyone wants a kid with no drama or damage or backstory that they would have to deal with. i guess i like a challenge. but i do think about that part where they will hate me bc they are a teenager and then they will hate me bc i'm not actually related to them in any way for real. who knows where life will take me!?
i kind of see myself just traveling around and having short love affairs with many men. you know that shit that happens in the movies? that could happen to me right? like you go some where, you fall in love. love is beautiful and torturous and then you never hear from each other again until like 20 yrs later when i'm already married to my soulmate. hahaha i admit it. i'm a big romantic at heart. i just like the idea of being completely adored. oh and i like presents. and cake.. if my husband can't cook i will in the least teach him how to make decent cupcakes and i'll do the rest. haha omg i'm talking about all sorts of things
alan and lizzie and jon are coming soon! yay fun! too bad i couldn't get saturday off sooo i'll be leaving really early. sorry! i have a group interview to make up for mondays interview that sucked! AND our store is supposed to have some crazy visit from some dude that could eliminate our store if he wanted so everything has to be absolutely PERFECT or we die. and then we might have an internal audit soon as well which we haven't had in like 5 yrs so you know they will be picking over everything with a fine toothed comb. so not only do i get to do all my fun HR shit but any 2 seconds i have i get to do projects! yikes!
btw my new fav word is yikes. since they are bringing the 90's back may as well bring back the lingo too.
i got a new bag today from old navy. it was already on clearance but then it had some shit on it that i knew would easily come off but i asked for a discount anyhow and the lady totally gave me 20% off! score. but she told me i couldn't return it. so it came out to be like $5 so who gives a shit if i can't return it. score!
i still don't know what to give alan for his birthday. whoops. i'm going to go to the antique store and see if they have anything old and fancy and maybe vintage-y alan would like.
