why are the FAQ never NEVER the questions I need answered? Who are the people that come up with these questions?
Why do I have to 'talk' to the computer over the phone for a good 2-3 minutes before they will just go ahead and transfer me to a live person?
why do cars speed up when they KNOW I need to get over into that lane? I am friends with my turn signals so there is or should never be a question about what I'm doing. But some people are just meanies.
I am convinced Lexus and Mercedes driver's either don't give a crap about their cars which makes NO sense since they spent SO much on it, OR they think they are exempt for accidents because they drive said cars. I get cut off more by these cars than others. Last night the guy in a Lexus truck high beamed me because he wanted the right of way even though it made more sense for him to stop and let me go BUT he didn't and I stopped and he got by so maybe they are exempt!??
I'm not really doing as many outdoor activities as I would like. This past weekend was also Capital Jazz but the line-up was just so/so. I never really bothered to get tickets. Last year I was a ticket arranging queen!! I went Friday and Saturday. This year I just didn't get anything together. But 1 thing that has come back is Jazzy Summer Nights! I love this because it has put me onto some artist that I still love like Anthony David, Deborah Bond, Sy Smith, EVEN Fertile Ground and Eric Roberson were featured artist back in the day!! And I'm glad I got to see Chuck Brown!! His band and the energy of the go-go crowd is freaking amazing! This past week was Jeff Bradshaw a trombone player out of Philly. He has played with everyone!! I actually like his stuff but he tends to play other folks song but he keeps the crowd pumped. Here's what had went wrong... SO I get there and peruse the scene and decide what I need to eat. It is time for a lil chicken wing or something. Island Quizine was set up, food ready and smelling good. But they are right at the bottom of my street and I go there often enough and I wanted to try something new. There were 3 or 4 other vendor and I chose 1. Now I won't say their name because that's just not cool and they will eventually get it together but that night was not their night. I get to the booth and see scrambling. They are getting set up which doesn't annoy me, but it does raise somewhat of a flag because it is after 6 and they should be ready to go. But I push on. I see chicken wings ready and I decide to get fried fish because WHY would I get something I know is ready?!?! (SMH) I have to get the little girls attention and basically beg her to take my money. At this point my gut says CHICK go on over to Island Quizine because you know it's gonna be good and it's ready. BUT NO I ignore my inner voice and order this food. Once I place my order I expect for the guy at the fryer to throw some fish in the deep fryer, but nope, he adds more chicken. I ask about how long it's going to be and she says I'll bring it to you. I point out my pink chair and I'm like COOL!! But then 15 minutes pass I look back and no one is coming my way. A 1/2 hour passes and I know good and damn well fish don't take 30 minutes to fry so I go back to the booth. The lil girl says OH I didn't forget about you and I'm like OK but when is the fish gonna be done? At this point there is more scrambling and general chaos of a very unorganized nature. There are like 3 other people trying to fill orders. After another 10 minutes and asking EVERYONE when the fish was gonna be done AND people getting food before me when I know that I ordered and way before them I got really frustrated and was like well just give me my money back! That's didn't work. WHEN IS THE FISH GONNA BE DONE?!?!? Ok you know what just give me the wings and sides. I really think I'm making out better. I am thoroughly pissed but I grab my food and sit my hongry (which is way beyond hungry) ass down. Grab a wing, it's good!! Thank God because well... ok take a bite of the mac N Cheese. Hole up WHY is this shit sweet? I have never in all my years had sweet mac N cheese. It was not good AT ALL! So let me taste these greens that look so goo... WHY ARE THESE SHITS COLD AND SWEET?!?! How do you make greens sweet? And why are they sweet? WHY Little Baby Jesus?!?! WHY??? I inhale the wings I really do want to go back and throw the sides on them. I wanted fish and fries but I got wings and horrible sides. But I'm good my stomach was full and I'm going to find them on the Facebook and send them a lil note.
I worked a prom this weekend and it was really rather boring! Maybe because I was just serving soda and juice or maybe because the dj was WHACK!! I felt his doucheiness when he came to my bar and didn't look up from his phone. DOOD you are not that busy or important, so I ignored him. The kids were nice enough. But it was just a long night with NO tips LOL. The dresses though UGH... so this is the one maybe even the 1st opportunity to wear a beautiful gown. But these girls just wore dresses that they could wear any day mainly to the beach or to the club. They just were not very prom-like. Now there were a few gowns but the mainly freakum dresses. This guys well I mean there is not much you can do with a tux. There was 1 guy with white shoes with gold tips and a guy with a purple plaid jacket and they both looked like the NFL draft (I was gonna say clowns.. but they kids so I'll give them a pass) dudes. They had glow stick and flashy rings that I felt the need to put in my bag. I have hoarding tendencies so YES they will go in the garbage soon but I needed them! They also had a casino theme, so they got fake money and chips and I guess they had fun. The people who ran the casino were the Dundalkiest people I have seen in a while and they all seemed a lil high. And then management. **LOUD SIGH** I usually have a great disdain for managers, there is always 1 or 2 that are cool, but 90% of the time they are just assholes. And this place is no different. The 1 manager talks around me never asking me directly to do anything he'll say miss or ma'am, have Gus tell you where to find the candles or Gus go find the bowls for the mixed nuts and I'm standing right there... it's just frustrating and passive aggressive. I worked with 1 of the newer bartenders who was extra for no good reason and toward the end of the night got very annoying and a bit racist. The company I work for is 95% Hispanic, so he would add O on the end of words thinking it was funny but it wasn't. And then they made me move tables and set tables and honestly, that aint in my job description. My way of getting back at them is to take a big bottle of sprite! LOL
