this weekend was hollerific. Friday I went to a swcs potluck in the morning and that was really cute. they had mad food and gave me a paper graduation hat and everyone went around the room and said something they got out of swcs. it was touching but some people talked for SOOO long and I had to pee! that night I chilled in and watched this movie "The Bear." (more on that, later). weird ass movie, def not what I expected to see. sat I worked on my paper some more and then chilled with my friend larry for a little bit. After that I went over to ty's for his housewarming party. that was good times with lots of good food, videogames, dancing (not me, but other peeps), wendi on the phone, people I haven't seen in a while, and cannon cannons. holler!!
then I assed out on the futon and got up on sunday for work. ::womp womp:: The event was a birthday party and we had to wear a tux for it (pretentious). so I head up to the house and that shit is FAR away! in lafayette hills which I never even heard of before. it's kind of up past the greater northeast near chestnut hill, that area. the houses on the way there were huge and gorgeous and I was really excited to see this place. Of course, the house we went to was in a new DEVELOPMENT (UGH!) and was so new it wasn't even on mapquest yet. And they had to tear down awesome trees and farms for it too, I'm sure. The houses were ugly ticky tacky (as they say) but the inside was bangin! It was for a man's 90 yr bday party. 130 guests... eek! The house was impeccable with art EVERYWHERE. I would not trust myself to live in that house... too expensive. But the furniture, decorating, art, everything was off the hook. these people clearly travelled the world 4x over, their stuff was amazing.
while settin up the party, I've realized w/ my co-workers they all have secret beefs with each other, and any association you have with that person, they project their beef onto you. For instance, I was sent on a mission to find the napkins. I ask one woman and she goes, "Well, we have our napkins, suzy's gotta get her own she can't horde everything!" ..... okay..... that was pretty much the routine the entire time setting up.
Then my job when the party started was to be in charge of coats. (thank god there weren't name tags!!) the guest list was predominantly older people since it is a 90 yr bday party. the people were nice but they kept congregating around the door and NOT going into the basement to party (but they're all old and frail... you want them to go downstairs?? most of them had walkers) The owner was there too and she's a major bitch, you can just tell. she kept barking orders at me and I kept having visions of slamming the door in her face. but, after a few hrs there was a mini-celeb party sighting!! I looked out the window and saw this older woman with a black poodle (ew) on a leash walking up to the house. I was like "seriously...?"
then I saw it was the seeking solutions with suzanne lady... suzanne roberts! (her family own comcast... grr!) she was friendly enough I guess, but was ordered to keep the dog in its carrier because of all the people at the party. Her husband was also precious... he was a cute old man in a bow tie that she ordered around all day.
a little later on a woman who was total dorothy zbornak (aka bea arthur). she was tall and thin with gray hair and a deep manly voice. crazy!
but the rest of the party went well, old people leave like 20 min after going places. the food and everything were super fab and cleaning up wasn't TOO bad. I came home and saw my parents and they told me about new orleans. they didn't have a super great time but they didn't hate it. they got me a bag of sour cream and onion chips that are BANGIN!
I'm finally done with classes, but still have my placement on mondays and tuesday. mostly tuesdays. ugh, figures because I got offered to work tomorrow but can't do it :-/
I hate that it's raining out, I slept so late today it makes me want to sleep all day. now I have to get up and shower for swcs... ugh.
