Updates/Ramblings

First of all, last Friday was AWESOME!!! It started at work, of all places. I was ringing up this guy who was not too hard on the eyes, if ya know what I mean. He bought 3 things. Condoms, an enema kit, and adult diapers. That's a good time right there, don't care who ya are. LOL!

This was the day of the Truck & Tractor Pull at the Lycoming County Fair in Hughesville - about 1/8 of a mile from Mike's place. I was going to try to ask Mike #2 if he wanted to go with me, but I haven't seen him in forever. So I was gonna go sit on Mike's (#1) porch & listen to them. But after I got home, Mike (#1) called and said he was going and if I wanted to go along, I could. YIPPEE!!! =^D So I drove over after he got home from work & we walked over. We were late, but they started late, so we didn't miss a thing! Grabbed some hot sausages from Hewlitts *SLURP* after about an hour, then went back to the grandstands & watched the rest. There were 2 trucks there I was loving. One called 'Black Hearted'... he did excellent, though nobody had any full pulls. The other, I don't remember the name - but he had oodles of 'chicken lights' I went nuts over.. lol. Thank god I didn't have to work the next day, 'cause they ran reeeeaaaal late!! I almost broke an ankle walking back to my car at Mike's house - we cut through a corn field - shhhh!! Lol! I had an excellent time. I'm so thankful we are still friends!! I'd love to go back to his dad's and play pool with him & Carey - Carey's a freakin trip and a half!! I sure miss him!

Only thing I did over the weekend, was sitting out the storms. Holy shitballs they were bad!! Short, but bad. No less than 3 tornado's touched down in Northeastern PA. I kept thinking of you, Linda, wondering if Warren got hit! And Lee, too - he lives in Williamsport (about 20 minutes away) & I know they had tornado watches. Well, you guys know where Williamsport is - look who I'm talking too.. LOL! At least you guys have BASEMENTS!!!

Well, on a sad note, my uncle passed away 2 days ago. It was his liver. Alcoholism & cancer runs in my family. Which is why I don't know if I want to get heavily involved with a drinker. To have fun is one thing, but to be serious with a person like that - I just don't know. I want to be more than just a piece of ass to somebody. Apparently, I'm good in one department, but there must be something about me that falls short. *shrugs*

But anyhoo's - I'm gonna go lay down & watch the rest of Ghost Hunters International. Man, I can't wait til there's new episodes of Ghost Adventures!! G'night Deborah! G'night Linda! And anyone else who may be reading..

OH... before I forget... I saw this thing hanging at work today. I was shopping during my break, scoping out the kool-aid. And what do I see - a grape drink mix, called Negrita. On the label, was a head shot of a black woman with a red bandana on her head. I shit you not. Hmm.. can you make that just a LITTLE more racist???

Dream Not As Crazy As I Thought?

The dream I had about Lucky & the glue stick stuck in his mouth... something happened today that just now hit me. I was on the couch & mom was in the kitchen putting some things away & cleaning up from dinner - we had chicken. Lucky trots in with something in his mouth. And to me, it didn't look quite right & he had a guilty look on his face. "LUCKY! NO!!" I yelled, and dove down to him, grabbed him, and pried a chicken bone from his mouth. He almost swallowed it whole - it was about 2 1/2 inches long. Did I *see* that the night before in my dream??? That's just freaky...

Tosh.0

OMG - I am totally in love with this show! I just started watching it this past week, and watching reruns right now. It reminds me of Talk Soup when Hal Sparks hosted it. Despite the fact that he just called those who voted for Lee DeWyze 'tone deaf'.. grrr... he's still funny as hell.

As for work.. not working the cooler anymore sucks. It wasn't just for one week, like the one supervisor thought. It was days before I would talk to my boss, and even longer before I'd talk to the owner. Not everyone at work even realizes I'm on the registers on Wednesdays, now. I rung up the one lady who works in the meat department today - she's on vacation til Wednesday. She said she thought I was doing a great job. I agreed. But hey, it's a job & I'm thankful to have one.

I'm thinkin' I need to take a sleeping pill tonight. The dreams I have had the past 2 nights are just completely on the opposite side of normal. I wasn't drinking, I didn't take anything... not sure why I dreamed that my boxes of Hefty trash bags were doing Sylvester Stallone impressions right on the shelf. Not like they had lips or anything, but they were moving around. You can't make that up. The dream I had about Lucky last night... good freakin lord.. I don't even know if I can describe that one. But I'll try. He was laying on the floor, and his one foot was gone. The was a metal stub where it should have been. My mom & dad were standing over him, and I said to them, rather calmly, "What's wrong with him?". LOL! Dad had Lucky's foot in his hand, doing something to it. "Here, let me try.." I said. But when he gave me what he had in his hand, it wasn't Lucky's foot - it was his mouth. Not bloody or anything. It was his muzzle, pretty much. It was like someone superimpossed(sp?) it into my hand, as it was perfect. There was something in his mouth, so I gently pried his little mouth apart - AND A GLUE STICK FELL OUT! Wtf?!? No, I do not smoke pot. Maybe I should start! LOL! I'm almost afraid to go to sleep..

Got Demoted Today

Yeah.. not happy. There was a 'schedule change' today, and I was told I would not be working in the cooler anymore. Their excuse, was that I was more needed on register. But what they really meant, is I wasn't doing a good enough job. First of all, I was hired to do just case lots (stocking shelves). Today, we were told there will be 3 more people hired, one of which will do nothing but case lots - which is what I was hired to do. WTF??!!? It took about half an hour for that to sink in today, and then I was extremely pissed. I was on register from before my lunch around 11:30am, til after 3:30pm. How the holy hell am I suppose to fill the shelves of my isle, when I am always on register? "Oh, you wont be on register all the time..." BULLSHIT! I have been on register for the past 3 weeks, except on Wednesdays, because I was working the cooler those days!! Well, I guess they put a stop to THAT, now.. didn't they??

When I was first hired, I loved working there. I really did. I had no enemies there... I still don't. I had nothing against anyone I worked with. They loved me so much, after I was there 3 weeks, they wanted to bump me up to supervisor. But I declined. One of the supervisors there told me I totally made the right decision. She told me she wishes she would have said no. When they talked me into being trained on register, Wednesday was the only day I looked forward to going into work. Now I have nothing to look forward to. I can't even mess around with the forklift driver, as starting Monday, we are not to bother him... we have to write down on a dry erase board what we want for the day & he does it. Rules are a good thing - but this place is taking it way WAY too far. I was back in the warehouse getting some merchandise from my overstock area.. this was right as this bullshit was sinking in about me not being good enough to put out fruits and veggies. And this one guy was putting cardboard in the bailer, which is right at the end of my overstock isle. He wondered what was wrong, but I didn't want to talk about it. "It looks like you need a hug. Do you want a hug..??" "Um, no." He was stunned that *I*.. a woman... didn't want a hug from *HIM*, a god only in his own mind. Sure, he's not bad on the eyes, but I was in no mood for a hug. I would barely even look at him. Now, if the forklift driver would have offered a hug, I probly would have accepted - but would have ended up bawling on his shoulder. So I guess that situation turned out for the best.

Everyone at work can tell when I'm not in a good mood. I wont look up. I wont talk unless asked a question. I wont smile. Tell the customers to have a good day?? I don't think so.

I know no job is perfect, and I'm glad to even have a job in this economy. But I wasn't hired for this. One of the guys that work in the back told me PA's minimum wage is going up. Sure... so they can take more freakin taxes out. *sighs* I need a drink! No wonder nobody wants me. lol
