Its Ben a Long Time....

Looks like the new tv shows coming on this Fall, will be decent. All I
know that it they make a movie of True Blood, the HBO series will go
downhill from there. So far, its good, decent story line(s). A lot of
things going on in one episode. NICE !!

Amother show, The Big C, is a funny show about Cancer. Go figure that
one out. Downloaded a good movie too, well a couple of them really.
One, My 5 Last Girlfriends..very funny. Another one, The Killer Inside
Me. This one VERY good.

SMH, SMH, SMH

Smacking my head... a lot of people on Twitter are using this
expression. I wonder why. I mean I know what it means and all, but this
expression is getting really fuckin' boring. A LOT of people are SMH. If
I were to use that, it would be this..SMFH. Don't see that expression
much.

On my 8 minute walk to work, I was thinking about something. If some one
was to lend me 1 million dollars, I could open my own business. Sure,
everyone would say the same thing too. But I would open it AFTER I
treated myself to some nice things...say about 100k worth of nice
things.

Received an email from Las Vegas, a job interview, with the possibility
of being hired right on the stop. All I have to do, if things don't work
out is pay my way back to NY. Really thinking about this one. I have til
September 15th to make up my mind. Funny thing is, I will be on vacay
during that time, so taking that trip jsut might happen.

To the woman who gave me her number yesterday. She told me she had
change it, so she gave me the new one. I don't remember you ever giving
me the old number. If this is your way of saying call me, ok. Been
trying to work up the nerve to ask for your number anyway.

What's Your Limit ?

What it all boils down to? Our bodies are a machine. I don't know if I
stated that right, so let me try that again. What's your limit?

Do you know that your mind will do things that your body says you can't?
Most people don't even get a chance to put this thru a test. I did, and
it freaked me out. I did something that I knew would and could hurt my
body, but my mind..my thinking told me to go ahead and do it. This
happened a while ago, but to this day, it still happens.

I've been working for like almost a month and a half without a day off.
At the end of the day I relax. I get home and my body just collaspes, I
fall asleep. After 2 hours I wake up and its like I slept for 8 hours. I
then go to bed at my normal, 9pm. I get some sleep, waking up at 1am to
go to the bathroom, and then go back to sleep. I then wake up again at
about 3am and that's when my day starts. At work, by 12 noon, I start
dragging my feet. But as soon as 2pm comes a round cause I'm about to
get off, I get a burst of energy. Strange.

'Don't Push Me Cause I'm Close to The Edge...

So this airline attendant lost it, no he completely lost it. But I know
how he feels, and most of us in the customer service field should too.

For those who don't know what I mean, picture this. A customer comes to
your county, and you have your back turned cause you're working on
smething else. Lets say that you're cytting vegetabkes. The customer
says, 'hey you', while snapping his fingers. Also he moitioning with his
hand like come here, very quickly. He tells you that he is in a hurry,
so don't get his sandwich order wrong. Happened to me.

First off, I'm pissed cause he snapped his fingers to get my attention.
What am I to you a dog? Then he states that I am about to get his order
wrong, which I don't. See, customers do this and this shit pisses me tha
fuck off. Its not his fault or yours, its the owner of the business. Let
me explain.

Since we are in hard times, and everyone is hungry for that dollar, all
businesses are trying to attract the most business, with making the most
profits for themselves. That saying that the cuatomer is always right
is...BULLSHIT !! Yeah, I said it, BULLSHIT. See, the owner will kiss
that customers ass so that that customer feels special. And once that
customer has it in his or her head that he 'is' special cause the owner
stated so, or the owners action did so, that cuatomer will puch it as
far as he can. But the owner isn't the 'front line soldier', we are,
customer service reps. No matter what we say, the owner will always
believe the customer or say some shit that the customer is having a bad
day.

That's shooting up in CT for example. You know what those bitches had
the nerve to say. That Black guy stated that the re were some racial
iisues going on in his workplace, but 'they' said that there was no
'wriiten' proof that there was. Yeah sure, like the owners were really
going to address that issue being that that guy was the only Black
person working there. People will ALWAYS say..'no there was nothing like
that going on here'. They won't believe his family cause his family said
that he WAS having those problems there, and this guy can't speak for
himself cause he's dead. Sometimes, just like the Flight Attendant, you
have to take matters in your own hands.

So in the long run. If you disrespect me when you come to my counter, I
will let you know in a clam voice that you can't and won't do that to
me. Okay..bye.

....Was a Good Day.

Yesterday morning, while walking in the store, Produce isle, found 5
dollars. The store was crowded too, but no one was in Produce Department
section. Not bad.

I heard some shit yesterday also. The cute co worker of mine, had a baby
shower, I was invited. But I didn't go because I'm working on almost a
whole month with out a day off. I wqsnt taking a chance on going, and
then over sleeping. That's just me, how I am. At work people were sayig,
asking how come I wasn't there. Well I have a rule that I go by, and
will continue to always go by.

The woman is pretty who is pregnant, she's all that, Dominican have you.
I would have loved to have 'gotten' with her so to speak. But as always,
I'm not that attractive I guest, or I don't have that look she is
looking for in a man, so she turn me down and away. But we are friends.
So when she got pregnant, I was shocked, even more so when I found out
by who. This guy, also a co worker, with whom I'm very cool with is the
father. But get this. He is married, but not with his wife with 2 kids
by her, plus he has another 2 kids by another woman.

See when they got together it was all good, until he got in a car
accident. The woman whom he was with, not the pregnant woman, the one
who he is cheating with, went to the hospital to make sure he was ok.
The hospital gave her all his personal belongings. So, she went thru his
phone and saw the pregnant womans emails, and texts. She copied the
number down, and called her. She told her who she was and what was going
on between them.

Pregnant woman says she is gonna make his life a living hell, moves in
with him, seperate bedrooms, no sex. He just pays he no attention,
brings another woman home. She gets upset and moves back in with her
mother, whom says she didn't want her to have the baby in the first
place. Kind of confusing, but its not. He comes by the baby shower,
drops off one of his kids, and leaves.

I'm like, why did you have this baby, thinking its gonna be different
for you, he won't cheat on you ? She gave up going to school, in her 3rd
year at college, to have a child by a man who has children all over the
place. I don't understand some females. I mean, open ya fuckin' eyes
sometimes. She's a beautiful woman, easy on the eyes, fun.

So I'm asking myself, with all my other co workers telling me, that she
was asking for me, why? I call her and tell her the deal. If we had
slept together just once, I would have shown up at your shower, but we
didn't. You know I have feeling for you, wanting to sleep with you, but
you turned me down, its okay. But don't expect me to be arouund you when
you turn me down. Its okay cause we work together, but outside the
workplace is a different story. See, I would have never got you pregnant
for many reasons. You're young, in school and you have your whole life
ahead of you. I wouldn't want to put that burden on you, tying you down
with a child. I would want you to be able to be free to come and go any
place in the owrold at a minutes notice. You can't do that now. Oh, you
may say you can, but you can't. You have to find a baby sitter, you have
to think about you kid. You just can't come and go as you want to.

I've notice something though. It seems that once you have a child,
things just stop, and other thinhgs start to happen. One, you can't just
hang out all night, and go staright to work any more, not saying you may
want to, but that does happen sometimes. And at your age, you should be
able to do that. Another thing is, even though you're gaing experience
as being a new mother with a child, you're also losing experince as
being a young adult. Somethings you need to experience being without a
child.
