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.

Men

For someone who has as many guy friends as I do, apparently I know nothing about them.

Clerks

Go ahead hate me. It's been awhile since I have last blogged. I am proud to confess that the reason is that I am now employed again. After spending a week laying across my couch watching daytime television wondering how much money I could make if I pimped out Brody.... I got a phone call. It was my manager from this gas station I previously worked at. I started back a week ago with a promotion.

Yes, I do know that being an Assistant Manager at a gas station is not the most desirable job on the planet. Well guess what.... You can kiss my ass because I took it. I started thinking about working in the office environment. I wore incredibly uncomfortable heels with no grip on a slick floor, I worked with the most stuck up snob who was cheating on both her husband and her boyfriend (no joke), and a boss that resembles Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada. Screw that. I'm done working with people like that.

I am now back in an environment where the only office people we deal with are the customers who (even after a college education) can not pump gas. I now wear sneakers to work and a loose fitting smock that does not make me feel like I am being strangled to death.

All hail to Starbucks!!!

For those of you who do not know me very well, I pretty much rely on caffeine to get me through the day. Yes, I am aware that this is not healthy. For some reason, I hear that caffeine is bad for me on a regular basis.

I love my pot of coffee in the morning, my Java Monster in the mid afternoon, and I absolutely adore my sometimes daily trips to Starbucks.

Without these things I would not be moving around at all. I just sort of lay around like I have a hangover or something. So, before preaching to me on how unhealthy this stuff is for me.. Take into consideration on how I am without this stuff.

I found out a couple of weeks ago, that Starbucks is now giving you the option of adding energy powder to your drink. Whoever came up with this idea is a total genius and I love you! Because in addition to the extra shot of espresso, I can now totally tweek out with an additional energy powder that makes me bounce off the walls. :)

I tried it a couple of weeks ago at work (I miss work), and WOW.... I definitely got a lot of filing done that day!

It lasted almost all day long and I gave multi-tasking a whole new meaning. lol

So, if you are an avid coffee drinker like I am, try it.
