I wrote this part a few weeks ago and I aint changing the tense...
Some days I just about bust a lid because folks do not read the email I have sent them. So I send a message to my bank about a feature and they send me to the exact location I already looked and didn’t find the answer hence I sent an email to get further information!! I sent an email to a manager and said “when you get a chance…” so that means DON’T read and respond right now if NOW is not a good time. It means when you get a chance to fully read, comprehend, and are able to respond then get back to me and let me know what you think. I too am guilty of this. I will skim an email and then just miss the whole point and respond. But then once I realize my error, I let the person know and re-respond. And saying please and thank you are niceties that need to good in every email. It just is common courtesy and good business practice. Also, phone manners are so very necessary. I had a manager who often complained about her director not saying good morning or thank you but she was notorious for saying not even hello but YEAH, I need to speak to… It grated my last nerve to be on any kind of conference call with her. It also bugs me when the folks don’t greet the security guards. You job is not that important nor are you that focused that you can’t say hello. I sit near a bunch of ‘office’ people, I guess I’m a ‘cubicle’ person now and there is only 1 of the 6 people who will actually go out of her way to speak. What’s funny is as a consultant I probably make more than them and I’m way cuter!!
Are we just a society of un-nice people?!? We want what we want so quickly that we can’t even bother to just be nice to each other? I mean I truly hope that is not the state of affairs. But I think we are slowly but surely losing basic social skills. We put on a front online and say whatever it is we need to say but then face to face we don’t know how to interact. I see this mostly for the younger generations. But even folks my age act like they can’t put the phone down or have to constantly check stuff.
I am taking prednisolone (a steroid) drops for my left eye and I just finished reading on WebMD, you know the foremost authority on all things medical, that people who have take these drops experience the same as the oral drug which is mood swings, rage, and hungry all the time which is NOT a good thing since I already have rage issues. The hunger part is interesting because I knew I couldn’t start my day without eating this morning. I kept trying to rationalize with myself that if I came in I could just go to the caf and get some food. But the next thing I knew I was in the Dunkin Donut drive through line AND they got my order correct even though I questioned the lady. My pumpkin donut was really good.
I am playing random songs… DMX just came on. I really be wondering who he’s talking about. Y’ALL GON MAKE ME LOSE MY MIND UP IN HERE UP IN HERE!!!
I wrote this section last week...
If you say you don’t watch a show and can’t provide any valuable insight I am DONE with the conversation!! This happened a lot when I was obsessed with Lost. Folks would try to say oh yeah I saw like 2 episodes and THEN have the gall the absolute GALL to try and spar with me. No ma’am… NO!!! Or they say something like oh yeah I used to watch it. Now for me ER just got boring, so I was one of those people who said yep I used to watch it but I don’t now. Sometimes I just have to wonder in silence about whatever until I find someone who actually knows what I’m talking about. Take for instance Lost Girl on SyFy, no one I know watches it and honestly I have fell off because it kept going and I got stuck somewhere in season 1. I probably would have a field day if I go to one of those ComicCons. It would be a nerd fest but somehow I think I would fit right in LOL. Hmmm maybe I should join one of those blogs? And I could be all random and anonymous as I am.
The Nissan commercial where it beeps to let the man know he is going to far is hilarious. It beeps and he’s like OH OK too far!! I just ‘got’ the Target falling into fall commercial, they fall from summer to fall… I was like OOOooohhh I get it now the other day.
Like assholes, everyone has an opinion about EVERYTHING!! Which can be very tiring sometimes. Let’s just agree to disagree okay?
Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to do nothing!!
I just let a little girl with a bad weave and about 3 different shades of hair cut my hair at the Hair Cuttery. She actually listened to what I said and cut what I needed cut. I am just so sick of people not listening to me!! My current hair stylist who I LOVE really dropped the ball this last go round. When she was done she held up the mirror and I said to her is this what you thought I had said I wanted?! Followed quickly by “you’re lucky my hair grows fast” cause what I didn’t say but I so wanted to was is “cause I’ma about to kick your ass for this mess you just did!!!” I am such a gansta!! LOL
Courtesy flush is so that the stink don’t linger. It’s for you as much as everyone else entering the facilities.
I wrote this part tonight 10/15/12...
I am listening to the debate in the background. My mind is made up about the President. OBAMA ALL DAY ERR DAY!!! I keep trying to hear what Mittens has to say but it sounds like the adults in Charlie Brown... Woock woock woock woock!! Here in Maryland we got like 50eleven questions that we have to vote Yay or Nay on. I keep waiting for my specimen ballot so that I can read them in full. Honestly on Nov 6 (or earlier if I do the early vote thing) It's gon be a quick Yes or No and I want to make educated decisions about the 'Questions'
This time of year i go into pumpkin MANIA!! I bought pumpkin soup, waffle and pancake mix AND pumpkin butter from the good Trader Joe's just today!! And then I try to hoard stuff like the waffle mix because in a few months they will take it away and I will be sad :(
Revolution is a new show on NBC where the people are living in the future and the electricity has just gone out... BLIP it is no more! No TV, no cars, no iPods, no running water... anything powered by electricity is gone. And as much as I like the sci fi stuff I can't help but just ponder the smell. They gotta be some funky folks!! I mean if all you have to rely on is fresh water and you live in the middle of nowhere how do you stay clean?!? And who makes the soap so you can stay clean?? And I won't even go into the whole women's cycle thing because it just boggles my mind. And then there is the transportation thing. I get that there aren't car, but why come no one has a bike? Or skateboard? Or scooter?!? OR those damn heelies (which I still do want btw)?!? Everyone just walks around with their bow and arrow AND who makes the clothes and if food is in shortage HOW do fat people even exist?? like Aresnio... things that make you goo hmmmm...
my cat has an a fixation with paper and because my house is a wreck she has ample opportunity to lay on it, wipe the kitty litter off on it, and scoot it to different locations around the 1st floor of the house...
I took great pleasure in watching the foreigners in Florida at the mall look befuddled and confused when dealing with American money! I just now know they feel like how I felt when in Europe and trying to figure out how the hell the Euro worked. Well not 'how it worked' but more what it was worth without getting completely taken advantage of. My favorite story is when I was in Greece and the shop keeper said I need 25 cents and I handed him and American quarter and his hand went limp like I stuck a pile of poop in his hand! Well excuuuuuuuuuuuse me Mr. Man!! the $ I know aint worth much but did you really have to act like that?? So this weekend in the Ben & Jerry's line (cause who doesn't like an overpriced ice cream cone) the B&J little dude said you owe me $20.80 and the guy from... let's just say Italy holds a 20, a 10, and a few singles in his hand like uuuuhhhh uuuuhhh... thank goodness B&J dude was honest, he took the 20 and a single and gave him change. He really could have taken the 10 and the man would not have known the difference, but that is bad karma.
So after a few stores on the 'high end' side of Sawgrass Mill outlet mall I sat my happy ass down and had a great time people watching. So this mall has the airport luggage baskets so people could roll around their goods. Folks were shopping like their life depended on it. I had my lil bag from Coach and was slightly pissed when they added tax. I usually go to the outlet store in Delaware, so if it's 80 buck it's 80 bucks, not 80 plus 6% tax. And for some reason I could not wrap my head around paying $200 for a purse... so I didn't. I'm a QVC chick I like flex pay!! Somehow paying on something for 6 months just sounds more right! Now don't get me wrong there were some thing I coulda had bought. But like at the Michael Kors store the little girl got way too close for comfort. NO I don't need help I'm good. Go stand you happy ass over there and let me breathe!! And i'm not big on other people's initials. At least Tory Burch has a T on most thing which is my initial.
I am always mad when I realize there is NO MORE WINE!! Well no more white wine I do have a few bottle of red... but I already started drinking white and what really needs to happen is I need to go to bed!!
