This is my third attempt at writing a post.
Entry number one got eaten by a power outage/storm.
Entry number two was lost in a horrible backspace/back a page incident.

here we go

we just had a really crazy 5 minute storm. dark as hell, lightning, rain like a waterfall, etc... we lost power which ate my first entry. and now its gone, sun is out, and only 5 minutes have passed!

before that a fella with a lisp came in and wanted to pay his bill. being as though we are not a corporate, the only way we can accept payments is through Precash, which charges for every payment. And its cash only. So the guy just flipped out on me and then said that I was rude. I told him that he needs to chill. He demanded that I call customer service. I told him that irregardless of what customer service tells me, I cannot do something that my system physically will not allow me to do.
Where is your manager?
I am the manager.
Where is your home office?
This is the home office.
If you are not sprint then you take that sign down now!
um. no.
What are you going to tell sprint when i bring somebody from sprint into here tomorrow?
um... the same thing that i'm telling you now.


incidentally, this guy has been in this store several times before trying to do all kinds of stuff that only a corporate office can do. So he knows that I cannot do this stuff. Also he had a lisp.

I have to say that normally i am one of the most helpful and understanding persons ever, but sometimes people are so besides themselves that I have to laugh so that I don't get pissed..

and i just heated up soup which means i'm now very busy!

Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from Anthony who informed me that he is probably going to go to the other store, the one that is offering more an hour, plus a full 40 hour week, plus feature commissions.

So Thor is trying to keep Anthony, so he is doing everything that he can to keep him employed in this company. Which could pretty much affect MY hours. Anthony has already informed me that he would NOT allow that to happen - but I am still nervous.

It sucks because I gave them such advance notice of my leaving so as to not screw them, but i'm the one who may end up getting screwed in the long run. It's like a catch 22. They have to keep the people who work here happy. So the people that are already intending on leaving might as well be the ones who get the short end of the stick.

In other news....

I uploaded a ridiculous amount of videos to my youtube account. all kinds of ridiculousness.

Also - July 13th is my new hero. Harry Potter! Which reminds me. there is a toad like woman who walks around the mall sometimes. She has some kind of neck condition that makes her whole head look like a giant toad or Jabba the Hut kind of creature. And once she wore a pink bow in her hair and I swore that she was dressing up as Professor Umbridge.
I would have voted for this woman to be the dolores umbridge over that imelda woman. for serious.

For some reason i feel as though somebody somewhere is about to yell at me........


hehe...


Steven wants one too. maybe i should charge him....

I just spent about 2 hours on my friend's Myspace account friending every person I could find from the UK. She is a musician and requested that I, her northeast marketing director, do so. Considering how much I can't stand Myspace, it was very benevolant of me.

I just ordered a rubber tree plant for my mother for sunday. I don't really have much of an explanation why I would order such a thing, but confusing her makes me very happy. And i'm sure she will make some type of comment about trying to grow rubbers... my mom sure is kooky.

I also ordered a set of 6 prestretched canvasas to create jess's birthday present.

The paintings in the background will be the inspiration for it - as seen on HGTV.


I like the idea of that and Jess has been asking for a Felly Original for a while. Of course her birthday was May1 - so i better get a move on.

Tonight I'm making a Tshirt for Erin for her birthday. it will read simply

"I went to the veal house and all I got was this tasty baby"

wrong... very very wrong...

One of my employees just called me to let me know that if i wanted some extra hours that I could come in early and he would get out early... Nice to know, Anthony... I'll keep that in mind... thanks much. no.

I'm not allowed to wake Lauren up until Noon. She has been working crazy hours for the past two weeks and finally has a morning wherein she can sleep in. So... noon. I have another half an hour to dick around on Wazina's laptop while she gets ready to head into work.

I'm thinking about spending a little bit ripping up that horrid bush in the front yard. Actually there are four bushes there, surrounding a large boulder. And of course, it is all boxed in by very contemporary wood edgers. (sarcasm) I imagine that the roots run very deep as well.... this should be interesting... By the time I am done, I would not be suprised if we end up with a shovel across the yard and me having a hissy fit.

Wow that just reminded me of the time i got stuck in the driveway here and looked up to see all of my housemates watching me try to shovel my way INTO the driveway. and then the cheap ass shovel broke and I proceeded to throw it across the yard. We found it when the snow melted.

I think I just realized that I'm a total impatient, hot tempered asshole. Which is funny b ecause when shit goes down at work I'm the last person to lose it.

anyway... I'm going to go clean the kitty box.
