what a day....

all i have to say is...thank goodness today is almost over. it was the craziest day for me. well, work always seems to be crazy now - especially dealing with a large variety of peoples that come to my desk. for some reason today was just extraordinarily different. i'm not sure why. i think the mood was different today or something...full moon tonite...i dont know. maybe its because i'm ragging...who the hell knows.

the day started off with me and joel. not bad...a rookie and an expert. good deal. up until he has to leave at 430pm. sucks from there on out. i was left by myself for basically 3 and a half hours. yes a rookie...all by her lonesome not knowing the world of my specialty quite yet. now i know how yul feels. he has never shadowed in his new department. its okay buddy, we'll figure this out. maybe its cause we've been there a while and they think we have a handle on everything. damn dude, never thought this would be part of my job description...christine...no longer rookie...has all knowledge of all products and services where you can do it and we can help - home depot. ha. right!

anyway, the night ended with a dude whom was drunk and possibly high coming into the store asking to have a key made. unfortunately the key machine has been down for a few weeks now. having learned this unfortunate circumstance, he become angry asking for an asm. stu comes up and is seriously cursed at from this customer...making all kinds of threats. all the while, his accomplice manages to steal one of the new ac units that we were putting on display by the door. having done the job swiftly, his accomplice comes and in and rushes him to hurry and leave...leaving a half full 40oz mickey behind in the handi-cap parking zone. best of all, we got the license plate number...so we're after you buddy....run hard...and run fast asshole. shit always comes around and hits you in the face ten times harder than the first time you've ever fell on your ass.

after all that....i managed to count my till out and send it up and made my way to vons to buy a six pack of heineken light and a six pack of red stripe for my honey. so that was the day. tomorrow is my tuesday and the hell starts all over again. ah fuck it, gotta pay the bills somehow.

one beer down...here comes another....

good nite bitches!

A Day at the Bay

Today was supposed to be set aside for daniel and i to check out potential venues for our wedding reception. Hearing nothing from any of the venues, we decided to ditch the plan. Sucks for us, because we hardly ever get a day off together, and daniel took half the day off so we can put some kind of dent in our wedding plans. a good note is that i have an appointment at one of the halls on may 3rd and 2pm. they already sent me a quote of how much it will cost us to rent the place with tables and chairs, security guards and bathroom attendants....a whopping $8,517. Which is really not that bad. However, the price triples once we choose a caterer and whether or not we'll have an open bar or a bar at all.

Having ditched the wedding plans, daniel opted to have lunch at the island kitchen at mission beach. the kalua(?) pig was good. it wasnt to die for, but it was good. the kimchee sucked bad, and the rice was a little to hard. but i ate it anyway, i was hungry. afterwards, we decided to walk off lunch at our special place....mission bay. we walked it, swinged at the swings then walked back and headed to 24 hour fitness to get our workout in. our legs were pretty heavy today.

the rest of the day will be spent watching basketball and lounging. tomorrow marks my monday at work and an 8 day week of work before i have another day off again. damn i hate where i work. i cant wait to have a 9-5 with weekends off.

well couch...here i come...make way luthor...

i broke down...finally

after months of reading my buddy's blog on blogspot i broke down and created my own space. as far as i know, he's recruited me and another from the workplace. it actually occured to me this morning, what harm would it do to have another blog spot elsewhere? so before i met up with yul and jasmin at cadao(?) for some fried spring rolls and pho, i went out on a limb - i named and created this.

the task at hand is to keep up with this. i remember someone once telling me that they would attribute a certain amount of blogs to me, but me being the realist that i can be, knew that it would not play true. no hard feelings here, thats for sure. i know how life can get sometime and more times than not, there's just not enough time to just sit and write a blog. i've only seemed to write 3 blogs at most on yahoo a month. not so good. so i hope i can keep up on this one. there's that need to keep up with people on here. not so much a competition, but more of being fair.

back to lunch, the cadao place was good. never been there before. heard of it and passed by it, but never been inside to experience it. finally today i did. the topic at hand seemed to be work. its what all three of us relate to.

today is buddy's first day in garden. they welcomed him with a crappy shift too. 3 to midnite. what kind of crap is that. its ok buddy! you'll have your chance to shine, but in the meantime make the best of being in back of the bus. trust me, it'll beat being at self check out. no more "scan your items or coupons. please place item in bagging area. unexpected item in the bagging area. please take your items. thank you for shopping at the home depot." no more of that for 8 hours. no more money issues. but trust me, the pissed off customers will always exist. the jerks will remain jerks, the assholes are always gonna be asses and old ladies are always gonna be pushy and bitter when they dont get the answer they want. so with that being said, good luck to you! have fun at it. dont let the small stuff get to you.

with all that written...this blog is for you buddy! happy reading to you in the future! oh and get on me about keeping my appearance on here if you see me starting to fade. here's to the rhythm and harmony of life....one beat at a time!
