I'm such a bitch...

*phone rings*

Me: "Name of my company...."

Bill Collector: "May I speak with Susan?"

Me: "Which one? We have two working here?"

Bill Collector: "Susan Dresser"

Me: "She's not here. Can I take a message?"

Bill Collector: "Have her call Tiffany at 888-456-7890."

Me: "Are you a bill collector?"

Bill Collector: "No."

Me: "Does this have to do anything to do with her employment here?"

Bill Collector:
"No."

Me: "Then this is a personal matter and you are a bill collector. Call her home phone and don't call this number again."

Bill Collector: "She won't answer her home number..."

Me: "Hell, if I had people harassing me as much as you do her.... I wouldn't answer my phone either! This is a place of business. If you want to continue to harass her dial her home number. Not this one."

Bill collector: "Okay...."

Moving....

Saturday evening I was over at Kayle's for another one of her mother's bbq's (yummy). It was a lot of fun but has also started a disagreement between Kayle and I. When I got there the first thing she says to me is "Couldn't you have worn something more supportive?" While looking at my chest. At this time I would like to say yes, I was very blessed by the Lord above when it comes to boobs. I would also like to say that for as big as they are, they are exactly where they should be. Anyway, I looked down then looked at Kayle's chest and replied, "Shouldn't you grow something to support instead of insulting the person who invented the bra?" After that I walked out front to smoke a cigarette (sue me hippies). A few minutes later Kayle walks out hugs me from behind and apologizes saying it was because she had an argument with her mother earlier. It might be just me but, what does that have to do with my large breasts that are sitting right where they are supposed to be? That comment of hers made me very paranoid the rest of the evening. I even asked her neighbor if they looked okay (neighbor's a chick)...
Well apparently that was just the beginning of a bad evening. A few minutes later my downstairs neighbor Carlotta called and told me I needed to get back to the apartments. I asked her why and she said that there was a shooting right outside my front door. I jumped in the car and hauled ass home. When I pulled in our steal gate had been hit by one of the cars and was bent all the way to the curb on the other side. Carlotta's boyfriend Jason heard the crash and opened the door to see what happened. When he opened it a guy pulled a gun to his head and said, "If you tell anyone I will come back for you."
Carlotta and Jason left to go stay with his parents in Joshua. Carlotta said she doesn't know if they will come back. I started looking for a new place this morning but haven't had any luck yet.

A day off....

Today I got to enjoy my one day off for the week. I didn't get out of my pajamas until this afternoon when Melissa called to invite me over. She bought this new manicure/pedicure drill that is absolutely awesome. It buffs away dry skin way better than my ped egg. As soon as I find one that isn't ridiculously expensive I am definitely buying one.

When I left I went to drugstore to grab some more shampoo. While I was there I went ahead and bought some new mascara as well. It was that Covergirl Lash Blast stuff.. I tried it on when I got home and I like it a lot more than that $20 Too-Faced Lash Injection stuff I bought at Ulta.

You could call today one of those rare "girly" days I have. With me working almost 24/7 I haven't really been taking care of myself. I did find out that by the 7th I will be transferred to my new store. I have to by then because apparently my new manager will be out the entire month of October for surgery. So, I will be the only manager there for a month straight. Fun!

I am still working towards the whole college thing. I'm trying to not let work get in the way but right now it is not working for me. Hopefully by the Spring...

Chaotic mess...

My life has been pretty chaotic lately. A coworker recently went on disability after tripping over something behind the sales counter. Since then I have been putting in some extra hours to make up for her absence. No complaints there. I need the money right now.
I decided to go back to school. I am planning on enrolling at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh for online classes. I don't have time to attend an actual class, so I just decided to do it online. I need to get rid of the crap top and get a desk top first though...
My friend Phil decided to move to Austin. That has been eating me alive. I really really miss him. When I first met him, he was living two apartments down from me. I used to go over there almost every single night to watch movies or play video games. I usually ended up passing out on his fouton at three in the morning. For the year that he lived here, that's all we did. Sometimes we did absolutley nothing... sometimes we threw smoke bombs on his neighbor's balcony... He has been moving a lot lately. When he moved out of the apartments he moved in with another friend of his. Then another friend... yadda yadda. He said he wanted to move to Austin to get away from the BS here in Arlington. He did the same thing when he moved from New York to Texas. I guess it is what it is... I miss him though.

Promo Blues

I have been catching a little bit of crap the last few days about the promotion. I don't know what it is about this store but anytime someone gets promoted... they have to put up with everyone else raising hell. Yesterday I was the only one putting up the boxes off the truck. Right now I fill like dumping 100 containers of icy hot in my bath tub and diving in.

Since I am not yet trained as the "Ass Man" as we call it... I can't do anything. My manager will be on vacation until the beginning of next week. So until then, I get to put up with my cranky coworkers.

I think it is funny that they are giving me grief. One of them was offered the position and backed down. The other couldn't take it anyway because he is going back to college in the Fall. They can give me all the grief they want. I am not backing down from this position. I am way too stubborn for that.
