where do you even buy strawberry champagne?!?! IS THAT BOONES????

first of all DO NOT ask my why I'm putting on lipstick unless you are my man and you are so far from being that!  I wear make-up because that's what I want to do, so it is for myself.  B stop being such a busy body and looking at shit on my desk!  Now granted I am covering for someone so it is technically not my desk, but this is MY space for the next few days, stop barging into like you own it.  And III get a haircut cause you need a line up!! You look like a wet dog!! Lastly as a matter of fact I am going to eat all of the fruits and vegetable on my desk so you asking for 1 of 4 tangerines means I need to eat 1 more when I get home.  These things at rationed my man!!

Wow it has been a day!  So I am recepting!!  I'm not even sure if that is a real word.  SO the woman and man come up and say they have a 2 o'clock. OK with whom?  Both on the rude side and then I'm like well what's your name, and instead of giving me their names their mama gave them, they gave the name of the company.  But that's not what I asked you so I'm a little pissed plus she is sweating bullets and so is he and his shirt needs to be ironed and I notice every wrong thing about them because they have BOTH rubbed me the wrong way.  She needs some WEN and OMG I just saw his short ass skinny brown tie. WHY did you even bother sir? Men have it so easy.  Alls you have to do is throw on a shirt and some dockers, match just a little bit and you good.  How do they get it so drastically wrong I have no idea!!

I totally just ate a bag of Utz that were in the drawer to NOT my desk LOL But I was hungry... well no I was being greedy, and she probably forgot they were there and even if she didn't, my last day is Thursday!!  If they call me back here I'll buy her a bag (maybe).

So the woman came in this morning, very nice and we are just chatting away.  I tell her she has lipstick on her teeth and hand her the box of tissue.  She cleans her teeth, balls up the tissue and proceeds to hand it to my naked hand.  UHH... No I don't want that which is what I said and held up the trash can for her.  WHO DOES THAT!?!? It was such a 'I really know you' kinda move!  Ma'am I have already forgotten your name please don't try me right now!!

Which brings me to the little girl who came in bright and early.  So she mumble the parent name of the company and I say YES you are here, are you here for a meeting?  She mumbles the secondary name of the company. Are you here for training? She says and looks hella confused.  Ma'am I can not read your mind WTF do you want?  Which is what I wanted to say but instead I say well do you know the name of the person you are here to meet?  She say oh well I guess I could call them.  HOW in the world do people get jobs without a basic understanding of how to speak to others? I then say WHAT is your name because obviously my other questions were too difficult.  She then gets on the phone. Someone else walks in says, hello I'm in training today and I need to go to the training room. I look on the calendar and say OH you are on the 1st floor and she says yup I know how to get there.   Lil girl is on the phone with whoever the hell and says the same name of the training New girl who knows her shit.  I say ok you are both on the 1st floor, new girl take lil girl with you.  AND THEN lil girl says oh NOW she know where I need to go to the person on the phone! Without missing even 1/2 a beat I say 5 seconds ago YOU didn't even know where you needed to be!!  Don't try me!! NOT TODAY!!  Not when you have NOOOOOOOO information and came at me totally ill prepared, looking stupid and not having a clue to how to help yourself!  I just don't understand people who just don't have basic BASIC people skills.  Say hello, thank you, it's a lovely day WHATEVER!  And then on the phone KNOW what you want to ask before you call!  I had a woman last week who called at 4:59 and I know I should have just let it go, but NO I answered and this chick took me through the ringer!! She starts telling me a story I say ok well which property because I have to transfer you, she proceeds to start over but it seems like it is another story. MA'AM WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION? She starts YET another story!  At this point I know if I hang up it will be ok, RUDE but ok, but I am really trying to help her.  I'm not sure what else she said but I finally transferred her.  Today a  real little girl called and the mother or adult in the background is like I should have kept it on speaker phone, SAY HELLO!! dammit just give me the phone!!  So why did you allow a baby to call a business office where people are doing BUSINESS (well you know not me) and play on their phone?!?!?

I truly seem to exist in an alternate existence from everyone else.  I mean sometimes I have to laugh to myself because I'm like WHY AM I THE ONLIEST ONE WHO REALIZES STUFF? I guess I am chuckling right now.

chasing goosebumps and other random spotify titles...

I am in straight hustle mode tight now.  I have told a few people this but it is clear since I am bartending, temping, selling jewelry and whatever else I need to do to pay the mortgage, THE CAR, and eat.  HA so I bought a car!!!  This was something that shocked the hell out of me but it kinda just happened. SO what had happened is... I had been seeing an ad about no money down for AutoNation and since I have NO money to be putting down that peeked my interest.  A while back well it seems forever ago, back when my mom was way more mobile and driving when she totaled that dumb little Aveo she had.  When she was in the market for a new car I really wanted her to get a Chevy Malibu which I always thought was cute.  She ended up getting a Corolla which you KNOW I love Corolla since I seemed to never want to get rid of mine.  But in the back of my head I always thought about the Malibu.  I probably need to say I am so not a car person.  Cars are for getting you to point A, B and maybe C and sometime D.  So the thought of paying exorbitant amounts for any one car never even crossed my mind.  Although I did find the paperwork for the Corolla and my payments were ridiculous only because I was trading in the Jetta from hell and I was totally upside down. So anyway I called the dealership asked if they were still doing the no money down and the guy said YES until the end of the month, but it was already 3/31 so I asked if he meant through the end of April.  SO now this is when I knew I was dealing with the okie doke but I still persisted.  He said well we have new promotions each month so I said OK FINE I'll maybe come in.  Then I called my credit union because I was trying to be a little prepared.  I actually got pre qualified which was great because that meant my credit wasn't as bad as I thought.  SO I do some running around and then I take a deep breath and go into the dealership.  IN ADDITION to me not being a car person, I also am NOT a dealership person.  There is just a whole lot of unnecessary testosterone.  And as I walk in there are 3 men siting behind the desk 2 standing  and no one really ready to help me.  I ask for Roger and he seems surprised that I came in. He then calls a sales consultant to help me.  I'm thinking BUT I already talked to you now you passing me off?  Tom comes out and looks like a deer caught in the headlights.  He offers me coffee or water, I say no because I really do not intend on being here that long so nope I'm good.  At 1 point he gets up and Jose come by with a forced smile and he offers coffee or water.  Nope I'm good.  Then Roger come by and says Tom is kinda new so are you alright?  Do you need some tea or coffee OR WATER.  NOPE I'm fine, he's doing fine.  We take our test drive come back and then I give my keys to the 03 Corolla (aka the hooptie) for them to do a trade-in estimate.  At one point I was like nah I'm good let me just come back tomorrow because I need to go look at my mother for a minute, but like my keys were GONE!  The front desk were holding my keys HOSTAGE!!! I sat there like well shit, I can't leave if I wanted to!  LOL  Long story short, after meeting Gus (another 'manager'), Jose, who was also a manager and the deal they gave me I really couldn't say no.  YES it was a full on press to get me a good deal and at one point they were like yeah you're not leaving here!!  Dimitri helped Tom with the paperwork.  Antwon (with the pretty eyes and big butt... I MEAN IT WAS LOL) passed me off to James the finance person.  SEE all these damn men.  There were only 2 women in the place.  One I think was a sales person, the other I think was in finance and the other... oh wait so that makes 3 was the receptionist.  And then Clyde (NO WAIT... I just got the customer survey that fools name is CLEOPHAS!!!!), the general manager came over to congratulate me on my new purchase. In all it took about 4 hours which
I think is pretty fast considering, but I was really ready to go when I left, and it took at least 1.5 hours to long.  I am the proud owner of a 6 speed Chevy Cruze!!  And I freaking love it!!!!  It's quiet, it drives well, and it's cute.  It's silver which I would have preferred another color but it was the only manual transmission on the lot.  I have to work all my 50 eleven jobs to make the payments, but I know it was worth it!!

Sometimes peoples normal scent is good and a turn on (if they are men) and sometimes, it is just a bit to much!  Like I wonder if they know that is the smell they have.

I am temping right now **LOUD SIGH** a pit stop for sure, but I still felt some kinda way when I had the BS interview with HR (and now he refuses to look me in the eye) and when I followed up, persistently I might add, I got absolutely no where.  This is the 1st time I was asked to apply for a job and just flat out didn't get it!!  I didn't even get the interview with any of the 'executives' which is really rather weird.  I know I am over qualified and I KNOW my salary range is more than they want to pay BUT I'M A FREAKING TEMP!!!  I need to make more money and no one seems to care BUT ME!!  It feels like the folks I was dealing with have either never been without a job or who don't really need to work.  It must be nice!  I will be in that position hopefully one day sooner than later, but right now DAMMIT I gotta work!

People really do enjoy being busy and/or important!  I don't need either.  And I enlist help whenever needed.  But for some (probably more than I actually know), they thrive on a false sense of importance.  I guess in my 20's I learned that if I dropped dead someone would pick up where I left off and keep things moving.  It's just hilarious to me to deal with people who think they are the onliest ones who can do _____________(fill in the blank).  And things are NOT rocket science.  The only thing that's rocket science IS ROCKET SCIENCE! After a conversation yesterday I had to ask ARE YOU SERIOUS!??  When the person said yes I had to be quiet and back off because she really did think the people she was working with AND me were idiots! I guess I have more faith in people and there ability to grasp basic concepts. Silly me maybe LOL
