Mister can you tell me where my love has gone?

Posted in Uncategorized on July 2, 2008 by penneigh

Had a really horrible day at work yesterday. The stupid bitch really has it in for me. The store cleaner came in to buy something yesterday, and I get that he’s a lil weird and anal about cleaning things, but at least he has a passion for his job. He was also there yesterday as a customer, so I treated him as such. The stupid stuck bitch that she is spent the entire time I was talking to him standing behind him rolling her eyes at me, which I found extremely rude. The item he wanted to buy had 40% off it. Just like it was advertised. I didn’t realise that the regular price for the item had also gone down from the price that was on the sticker. SO I told him it’d be 40% off that price. When I took it to scan the barcode for the price, it came up so much more lower. So I scanned it again on a different register. It was the same price. So I sold him that item and another add on, and it came to so much less. The stupid bitch AFTER he had left and I was busy with another customer, went to look at the journal roll which records the day’s transactions. Then she came up to me while I was talking to a customer and butts in and demanded to know why I marked it down another 40% for the cleaner. WTF?! I told her I didn’t mark it down but if she would wait because I am currently busy with a customer and there was also a line of people waiting for her to put the sales through. She was still standing there saying really loudly, “Yes you did! See on the journal roll? There’s a markdown 4 on it. ” I’m like you stupid bitch if you have been here longer than everyone else, then how come you still haven’t figured out that markdown 4s appear on ALL sale items?! It has to be registered for the accountants and auditors so that they would know how much they had taken off. She then went to the store manager and dobbed on me!!!! I was furious with her by then, but I couldn’t say anything because it was so busy and I had one customer after another, with her butting in ever 5 seconds to accused me of well basically stealing. She is so rude. The VM chick was just complained on the other by a customer because she was really rude and loud when talking to us staff. One of the customers told the managers that she was really unprofessional for talking like that in front of customers. Now here was the other stupid trouble maker doing it again. I never wanted to scream at anyone as badly as right then. I was so frustrated with her I wanted to cry. But I didn’t want ot give her the feeling that she had that power over me. So I played back at her game. She again accused me of marking down things in front of a customer, so I stopped what i was doing, excused myself from the customer and I said really loudly, and slowly incase she was so thick she couldn’t understand me: “I SHALL REPEAT WHAT I HAVE SAID TO YOU FOR THE PAST TWO HOURS. I DID NOT PRESS MARKDOWN AT ALL. IT COMES UP LIKE THAT FOR ALL THE SALE ITEMS!” I then went back to that transaction, and typed in the key code for her in price check, and the amount came up. I then showed how they showed up for all sale items by using one from her transaction record. She went quite, but I could see she was embarrassed because I proved her wrong, in front of customers she was trying to show off to. I then carried on with my customer and ignored her, but I could see she didn’t believe me, but I don’t have time for that idiot. I also saw her looking through the journal role on the other register, I think to see if she could say I was wrong. Then finally she came up to me and apologized. She had the nerve to ask me if she made me upset. I’m like WTF do you think? You just tried to undermine me in front of customers, and practically accused me of stealing. How the f*** would you feel if someone did that to you? Not to mention you went to the store manager BEFORE talking to the line manger you stupid bitch. But I don’t care that people know I don’t like her. She is a bitch and she needs to mind her own business before accusing people of things which she don’t have a clue about.

I don’t think she knows about me applying for manager yet. If she did, she’s the type who’d go try to suck up to someone she thinks that can do her favours, but everyone who worked with her know what she is like. The other ladies I work were giggling about the way I handled her. She had it coming. I hope I can either get that manager position or another job soon. I can’t stand working with her. She’s constantly on my case trying to catch my mistakes, but because I haven’t made any for her to dob on me for, she’s now making crap up. I hope karma pays out big on her.

At least last night made up for it. It was lil A’s birthday yesterday, so last night we surprised her for her birthday. :) I was going to find a giant box for her, as it worked so well last time. ;) But with all the events of the morning, by the time I got to the reserves to ask if they had a box, they had thrown it out. Shame really. heard it was a box for a double doored fridge. :( But the cake was really yummy, and possibly the best cake ever as it had a giant cookie base!!!!! Heaven has heard my prayers!!!!! ^_^

Ok, Ready.

So the past couple of days, was spent moping around the house, tired, and kinda sore. Didn’t want to do anything, so when I was suppose to go to a birthday thing last night, the rain and the cold thrown in made me less than enthusiastic about going out. I plonked myself on the couch in front of the TV as I didn’t have to go anywhere till about 10 anyways. Only at 9.30, when I was suppose to go get ready, it really bucketed down outside. By then I was on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, and Bride and Prejudice  came on. Sooooo not going out into the cold wet night now. :P It was quite a nice relaxing night. :)

Anyways, woke up this morning feeling heaps refreshed, more than I had been lately, and I think I’m back to my social-self. :) Only thing was had the weirdest dream last night, and I have no idea what it means. :\

I also found out on Friday, that when you mouth is numb. You can’t sneeze properly. So if you do have a numb mouth, may I suggest carrying extra tissues with you at all times? I sneezed, and it was more like my mouth exploded. :6 Ew. My brother was laughing at me asking why I was drooling. I wasn’t drooling. I was sneezing. Stupid numbnut.

I don’t hate the dentists…. I just fear them :P

Posted in Uncategorized on June 27, 2008 by penneigh

Just got back from the dentist’s. I had my fillings done. They gave me several needles to numb out my mouth. :( I had needles. It hurted real bad. I wanted to cry. Actually, I was panicking so badly, I thought I was gonna faint. After getting up, I was shivering still. AND the Fussy Hussy wasn’t there to hold me!!!! XP I hate going to the dentists. Probably why I have to go through all this now, but still. I don’t like going. They always give you bad news. “Oh you have a compacted teeth. We need to remove your wisdom teeth.” “Oh the ball on the teeth have snapped off, we need to do a root canal.” See… evil. :(

Now my mouth is all numb and I can’t talk properly. I was trying to tell my mum she should drive after we got out of the dentist and I was still a little shaky. Except it took me five goes before she understood what I was saying. I gave her my car keys, and I nearly freaked out with her driving. :| She yells at me for driving to fast, when I go down a hill, and the car accelerates a little, so I’m 2ks out, but she’s flying down the back roads, doing 70 in a 50 area!!!!! Then when I tell her, she goes: ” No I’m not.” Then she looks down and goes: “Oh woops. Hehehe. You know your car is pretty good. Normally I can feel the speed.” :| Ladies and Gentlemen…. that’s my mother. The one who taught me right from wrong. >.< THEN…. She decided for lunch, she’d drop by the local Chinese restaurant, where I use to work. I still live in fear of the lady boss, so I said I’ll wait in the car. She goes ok, and steps out. Leaving the headlights on, with the car beeping at her. She looks at me in a panic and asked what that noise was. I’m like. The headlights. O.o And she goes: “Oh. Doesn’t it turn itself off?” >.< Then she closes the door, looks in and looks shocked. o.o I’m like didn’t you forget something? O.o She goes: “The keys in the ignition?” Sigh. Sometimes I wonder…. what’s the Asian equivalent of a blond? Because I think that’s what my mum is. >.<

I’m gonna go play around online now. The net quota resets tonight anyways, so I can continue watching my dramas. Hehehe!!!!

It nears the end….

Stocktake is coming… :| Not the usual “Stock… taking” I’m use to. Hehehe… Get it? Stock take. I take the stock and buy.. it. Ok fine. Lame. I know. But you’d be pretty tired to if you spent the afternoon writing down fixture numbers. X( Sigh. It’s gonna be the week before y birthday too. Dangit!

Was driving home just then, and I got stuck behind a stupid country driver (I know it was a country driver because of their special number plates. Hehehe “special” number plate for “special” people :P). He was doing 48/49/50 in a 70 zone. I think people who drive too slowly should be fined for holding up traffic. I couldn’t go to the left lane because people were going just as slow, but they had their reasons, about five cars were turning into a street. Anyways, the idiot driver was driving really slow, and no one could get past. So when I had to turn at the traffic lights, I slowed down so that they could pick a lane, and I’d go into the other one. Unfortunately, the lane I got was also the longer one, so by the time we had turned, the country driver had cut back in front of me due to all the other cars turning left. BUT then he refused to switch back to the left lane, and by then, all the other cars behind me were pissed off with the speed he was holding us all up at. ARGH! They were all cutting into the left lane, and I was stuck behind this idiot country driver!!!!!!!!!! I eventually cut out in front of a slow moving overtaker, and drove off. Unfortunately I got stopped at the traffic lights which turned red when I got there. Thanks to country driver, who was turning right at the lights.

A firetruck came blaring out from the street directly ahead of us, so all the other cars that were going at the time slammed on their breaks to let the truck past. I found it absolutely hilarious, that just as the truck went by the traffic lights, the lights for turning turned green, and the idiot country driver was hesitant to go. The car behind him beeped his horn at him and I saw the guy waving his arms as if to swear at the guy for not driving yet. Ahahahahahahaha!!!! That ought to show you for holding up traffic!!!! Stupid country drivers. If it is not how they don’t know what a light indicator is for, its that they are holding you up by driving so slow, and doing other random dangerous driving maneuvers. They really need to give them special plates so we know to avoid these idiots, especially if they don’t have the “special” number plates.

State of Confusion….

I just worked out that I’m suppose to be in three place at the same time on the 5th of July. :| Oops?

When Vn was telling me I was going to go partying with her, I was like: “OK! But for some reason I feel like I’m suppose to be somewhere then. Hmmmm…” Then I got a sms from my other friend reminding me I’m suppose to go BBT with them on the same night in Myaree. :| Then I got home and I got an email from Ag about which night we free so so can do her birthday, so that God doesn’t strike her down dead for trying to skip religious matters to party. :P Seems the others chose the 5th. Oops? I think I’m gonna have to cancel on the BBT, and go meet Ag for a little bit, then go meet up with the others to club in NB. They prob the two closest things in terms of location, making it much easier for me.

I’m low on internet quota right now too, I don’t want the net to shape, so I can’t watch my drama. I am so in love with “Sweet Relationship” right now. The food looks so tasty! Sigh. My drama!!! :(

Girls nite!!

Last night didn’t turn out as great as we planned, but I think I had fun over all. The movie was quite good, despite me constantly getting distracted by the fashion rather than the storyline. >.>

Jz and I went to have a late dinner after the movie and wait for the others to be done, before we headed to Onyx. We had only just gone in, and as I was following Chs to the bar, some jerk tried to undo my bra as he walked past! WTF?! It was crowded, and a s I tried to push by, I felt a hand on my back and then his finger s tried to get to the strap, I crouched and pushed him off, and he just walked off. Argh. So rude!

Vn and I went to get a drink at the bar, while Sm and Jn were in the toilets, we ordered two champagnes and paid with the $50, and she got $4 back. I was like WHOA!? Then Sm and Jn got the same drink and also paid with a $50 and got $34 back. So we went to tell the guy who gave us the change. “Junior” as I would like to refer to him, was also the same bar tender who made lil A her “slushie” when we asked for a mocktail he would recommended, and then went into the corner with a spoon to try out his concoction. When we asked the other bar person about it, she went to ask him, and he had no idea what to do, he had to go get his manager to open the till. Vn wanted to get all rowdy and in their face, but when you work in customer service jobs for a while, you’ll understand that those who are understanding about it will get a better response than those who are loud and angry about it. Though they were really trying my patience when they made us wait a while before the manager came over to give us the proper change. When I went to get our second round of drinks, we went to the other bar, because I figured that the chance of getting Junior to serve us again was way too high. But somehow we manged to get short changed…. AGAIN!!!! I gave them a $50 for two malibu and coke, and the guy gave me back $2. I know for a fact that two of those do not add up to $48. So i stood there and waved the $2 at him and he asked wasn’t it right? I told him I gave him a  $50, and he promptly went over to give me the rest of the change. By then, the whole, be nice and understanding part had flown out the window, and I was really unimpressed with the way things were there. Not to mention the music was pathetic last night. I noticed the regular DJ wasn’t there. Couple of wannabe DJs who were pumping their fists in the air while playing “Touch my Body” by Mariah Carey. Seriously, Vn and I could play a better set than what they did. No one was dancing. After a while, I was bored and the music was making me sleepy. So we left. The music on the radio was better than the music at Onyx. They really gotta talk to the new staff. The only thing that saved the  whole night was the company I was with. It was fun to hang out with just the girls. :)

The old Onyx was way better. I’m only bringing $10 notes for my birthday. That way they can’t f*** it up that badly.

I am a hollow reed…. tree falling in the woods…. *exhales*

Stupid B**** at work is really pissing me off. She stole my shift, and as if that is not enough, she goes bad mouthing me to the mean ole grumps in the other departments. They don’t know me, so I don’t know what she tells them. One of the other ladies told me how she overheard her telling someone that I don’t deserve the hours I get, because she’s been here longer than me, and that I suck up to the manager to get those hours! I’m like WTF?! Her excuse for everything has always been that she’s been here longer. It doesn’t mean she does her job better. She’s so rude to customers. One of them even argued with her and told her to F-off and mind her own business because she was talking to another staff, and the B**** butted in. She talks to customers who can’t speak English really rudely and roughly. But when she thinks they are rich or whatever, she fully sucks up to them. She also talks really loudly almost to the point where she is screaming at them. I’m left standing there thinking. They are foreign, not deaf you idiot.

So I’ve got my birthday booked, and only have to pay for the food and finalize the guests list and all is sorted. Nice. :) That should take my mind off of the situation at work. Also doing a girls night on Friday. Should be good. Movie, dinner and drinks. Hehehe…. in the words of a friend, “we’re gonna be the most well dressed people in the theater. LOL!

Fergie- Labels or Love

I LOVE this song!

Makes you want to dance to it, and I guess the lyrics are quite positive too which is very different. I love the lines “Don’t cry, buy a bag and then get over it”, and “ Love’s like a runway but which one do I love more? No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior. Love’s like a runway, so what’s all the fussing for? Let’s stop chasing them boys and shop some more”. ^_^

Got out of work early today. :D :D :D

I think they realised that us casuals were costing them too much. Hehehe! It’s all good. I get to sleep in tomorrow too. :) That’s always a bonus!

So I was out on the weekend. Went to the Library, that place did a really great job of cleaning it up from back in the days when it was The Church. But the one thing that confuddles me is that I have never seen a library with neon lights, and TVs on the wall showing bikini clad women swimming. :P Nor have I seen one with a gazebo inside the building. All the same I loved it there. :)

Still trying to organise my birthday party, but I don’t know about Onyx anymore. I don’t understand their rules and requirements, so I’m now leaning towards Paramount, but only because I haven’t gotten a reply from the Library yet. :P Oh well. I shall be patient and wait. :) *twiddles thumb*

I’ve also decided I really really love champagne. :D

Burning….

Posted in Uncategorized on June 6, 2008 by penneigh

*Yawn*

The weekend is almost here. (’_') I can already feel myself burning out. And as if this week is not bad enough, I’m working 6 days next week. Five FULL days and a half day on Thursday. And because it is a Thursday, the “half day” is still nine hours long.” I need a break. I also volunteered to work on the 15th, so it is technically I’m working seven days straight. :\ I don’t think I’ll go out that weekend. :| I agreed to working the Sunday, because it is 250% pay, but that was BEFORE I found out that I was working the entire week. I hope I get the following weekend off. Otherwise I’ll be chucking a couple of sickies. *faints*

I really need a new job. I floated in and out of consciousness today, then spent the entire time after I got back from lunch at 1.30pm checking my watch, hoping to hurry up 6pm. At 5.55pm I closed the till, and my colleague told me we weren’t suppose to close until 6. I told her by the time i finish counting the money, it would be 6, and I was not staying longer to close the till when there was no customers around.

I’m gonna die next week. :|
