Goth Stripper
"Roxy" aka R from work got me thinking. She and Alex were trying to get me to do a routine for those ladies the other night (which was NOT happening) and of course I was refusing and throwing out excuses, one of them being that I'm waaaay too unearthly pale, so R threw out there, "So what? You can be goth!" And ya know what? I totally *would* be goth if I was to do it (for my own amusement, of course, and maybe for a certain Dutchman 😜). I already have some leather stuff, I just need these https://goodgoth.com/patent-retro-combat-boots/ , a stripper pole, and some Marilyn Manson music. ☺😈

Seems that way. Unless she's some anonymous internet celebrity.
I don't think she is. Anyway, who cares? We were just doing our jobs. If it gets me more work because the people were happy and had a good time, then so be it.
as long as you keep your job you win moneyzzz, bitch or no bitch. ;P
According to Alex, there's more work in August and then we're slammed in September, so I'm going to try to enjoy my time off in spite of QoH.
PS. Happy Fourth Of July. :)
Thanks! I cooked ribs earlier today and then it was a race to get everything grilled before the rains came. Fortunately for me, there were only a few drops and then it all blew up north into Broward. :)
I made ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and corn grilled in its own husk. This time around the corn was white. Usually it's yellow. This particular white corn was super sweet and delicious. :)
Hey, did you see when your PM Rutte met with Trump? The press were being their usual rude, unprofessional selves and he asked Trump if they were always like that. He seemed shocked at their behavior. They do act like zoo animals at feeding time. ;P
Ya know, I forgot to tell you that when I played the basketball game with b-day girl the other night I thought I was doing fairly well and then I got totally smoked by a fiddy y/o who had several alcoholic beverages previously and whose gf was trying to make her miss by being "distracting". :/ After doing those web searches, I don't feel *that* bad since she played college b-ball. :O
Anyway, basketball was never my sport. If it had been baseball or hockey I'm sure the outcome would have been *much* different. ;D

Holy shit! :O :O :O
did you see when your PM Rutte met with Trump?
Ha,ha, NO! ;P
But yes, I did. ;)
He seemed shocked at their behavior.
I did not see that part. Rutte is a bit of a nerd so he is likely to be shocked easily. :)
basketball was never my sport
Well, you're probably a little too short for that sport?
Holy shit! :O :O :O
That's definitely one way to stay fit. I just can't imagine having that hard pole between her legs is all that comfortable.
Well, you're probably a little too short for that sport?
I'm *a lot* too short! And I never liked running back and forth on a court. Anyway it was one of those arcade-style b-ball games with the small balls that you throw at the small hoops from about 2 meters away. Lady just had killer hand/eye coordination.
That's definitely one way to stay fit.
I imagine it's a lot like doing gymnastics. Those chicks who do that advanced stuff are hella strong and flexible. And graceful. I'm not naturally graceful. More like a bull in a china shop. I guess that's the Taurus coming out. ;)
I think R took pole dancing classes before. I'll have to ask her about it.
Well, QoH just came up to my room about 10 minutes ago (8:10pm) with her fucking flashlight shining it in my face and literally spraying spittle all over me accusing me of "spraying grease" all over "her" stove that she "just cleaned". I have no idea what the fucking bitch is talking about, if it's dirty she likely did it herself. She's completely delusional and likes to blame any and all "problems" on me. Well she wouldn't stop shining the damn light in my face which she had millimeters from my face while I was laying on my bed, so I jumped up to try to get her out of my room. She kept shoving the flashlight in my face so I told her I was going to smash the damn thing. Shoving happened, she fell onto the edge of my bed with her feet still on the floor. Somehow the flashlight got tossed to the far end of my bed, she grabbed onto me and scratched the same spot on my right side that she always manages to scratch plus my left shoulder just above my armpit and a little bit of my arm, my left wrist, my right thumb, and when I tried to get away from her and get to my bathroom she grabbed my tank top and wouldn't let go. She stretched the hell out of that BTW. I finally managed to pry her fingers loose and got into my bathroom, but she went back to my room and I was afraid she was going to smash my phone which was on the bed or take my wallet so I had to go back. It's all a blur, but I managed to get back in my room and lock her out. Then she threatened me that I "might die tonight". I'm not really afraid of that threat, but she's definitely out of control with whatever mental illness she had. Every. Fucking. Day. She accuses me of something ridiculous, lately it's been accusing me of scratching various furniture or appliances with knives or screwdrivers. It's all completely insane and the police will do nothing.
It's all completely insane and the police will do nothing.
There has to be some official person somewhere in Florida who you can confide in without them immediately sending in the navy seals? I mean, just to get things on the record, officially? Every little detail? You have to build a case against her if you want the situation to change. And that means getting into contact with an official mental health person. It's not enough to make a recording of her behavior on your phone now and again. This needs some consistent reporting, I think. Single isolated incidents may not convince people but a case load of them probably will.
But what is it that you really want to happen? Do you want her to be moved to a mental health facility?
But what is it that you really want to happen?
I'd like for her to see a psychiatrist and maybe get some meds for her emotional dysregulation, but unfortunately the way the laws are, she can't be forced, and she can turn on the bs victim act and convince everyone that it's not her, it's me. :/
Do you want her to be moved to a mental health facility?
That wouldn't happen even if I wanted it to. I don't think they involuntarily commit people any more. I know all the govt mental health facilities were closed years ago, part of the reason there's such a terrible homeless problem.
I'm really screwed. Until I start making more money there's not much I can do. I need money to be able to get my own car and move out.
R was joking that I need those ladies from the party to be my sugar mamas. At this point, I'm almost willing to do that. :/
This shit fucking sucks. I have no friends or family to help me out and the damn authorities will do nothing. And if they did, it's like opening up a can of worms when you get the govt involved. They tend to make things exponentially worse.
The best I can hope for is to maybe make some friends or contacts through work.
she can turn on the bs victim act and convince everyone that it's not her, it's me.
Which is why I suggested you contact some offical mental health care person. If you strike first, show evidence that her behavior is consistently abnormal you'll at least put her on the defensive.
Also, whoever you contact will understand your situation WRT her counter accusing you.
all the govt mental health facilities were closed years ago
There has to be *something* left?? :/
I'm almost willing to do that.
But that's not realistic.
They tend to make things exponentially worse.
How could your situation get made worse by the government?
maybe make some friends or contacts through work.
Okay. What specifically would that help you do?
whoever you contact will understand your situation WRT her counter accusing you.
That's quite an assumption. I'm 99.9% sure she's got a personality disorder, likely Narcissistic PD with some Borderline PD traits. PD's aren't considered a mental illness that require intervention and most MD's and shrinks aren't familiar with it. You'd need someone who specializes in PD's and it's extremely rare that a PD person would voluntarily go to a shrink because it's everyone else who has the problem in their eyes.
How could your situation get made worse by the government?
The last time I called the cops is a prime example. They believed her bs even though I had scratches on me and they threatened to take me to jail if I didn't say the situation was resolved before they got there. They also told me not to call them when I have problems with her or they'd arrest me. It's completely outrageous how corrupt the local govt is. I don't need to end up in jail because I'm seeking help. If I go to jail I lose my job and then get an arrest record which greatly reduces any future job opportunities.
What specifically would that help you do?
It's helpful when you have a friend to turn to. Other people have different experiences, contacts, perspectives, etc and can make it easier than trying to do everything or figure out things by yourself.
Well, QoH is really low. She took money out of my wallet while I was outside mowing the yard and thought I wouldn't notice. I noticed around 10:15pm after I had my shower. I saw that her phone was no longer on the charger which was a dead giveaway that she was in my room. She likes to snoop and I noticed that some stuff on my computer desk was out of position. She was obviously looking in the spot where I normally stash money (there was none there ATM). Knowing how she is, and that she stole money out of her ex-bf's stash (almost $2,000) and bragged about it, I figured she did the same to me. I was correct. She took all the big bills from my wallet (3 $50, 1 $20, and 2 $5) and left 7 one dollar bills. I figured she put it in her titty wallet, and when I went in her room to look (she was in the kitchen at the time, still is as I type this) it wasn't in its usual spot. That really pissed me off so I started searching her room. Usually she likes to hide things in her pillowcases which I initially searched, but couldn't find anything. I searched her drawers, nothing. Bathroom, nothing. Then I went back and searched one of the big decorative pillows, bingo! So I took back what she took from me and put her stuff back where it was hidden. I now have to make sure I hide my stuff and keep my door locked when I'm not in the house. :/
I'm not going to confront her. I'm going to let her think that she got one over on me until she discovers it on her own. I'm sure there will be a massive blow-up with her accusing me of stealing *her* money. :facepalm:
most MD's and shrinks aren't familiar with it.
How do you know this?
The last time I called the cops is a prime example.
So cops aren't an option for now. Are you telling me there's really no one else you can contact for this kind of situation?
It's completely outrageous how corrupt the local govt is.
I doubt QoH will be bribing any local officials. She doesn't have the money for that.
titty wallet
What's a titty wallet?
Usually she likes to hide things in her pillowcases
You've searched her room on other occasions then? It's kinda funny how you two are aware of each other's stashes. :)
her accusing me of stealing *her* money.
Well, good thing she's insane and therefore not a credible witness. :)
How do you know this?
Going by what people on the PD forum have said. Most of them are in therapy because of having to deal with people with PDs. And also from my sister. She was very likely BPD but got diagnosed as bipolar because the docs who work at the county clinic don't know shit from shinola and diagnose everyone as bipolar so they can collect benefits.
Are you telling me there's really no one else you can contact for this kind of situation?
There's likely people to call, but I'm just going to be told the same thing I already know: she can't be forced to see a doctor, and that I should just move out as if it's as simple as that. :/
I doubt QoH will be bribing any local officials. She doesn't have the money for that.
I didn't think she would, I meant that they are corrupt as in they don't do their jobs and they threaten innocent people.
What's a titty wallet?
It's a small cloth change purse that she keeps her money in and sticks in her bra between her boobs. Now you know *that*. ;P
You've searched her room on other occasions then?
No. She's very vocal about where she keeps things.
It's kinda funny how you two are aware of each other's stashes. :)
She spies on me. I caught her looking in on me when I was putting money in my computer desk before. I should have immediately found another spot. Anyway, when you live with someone your whole life you know what their behaviors and habits are.
she can't be forced to see a doctor
She can be if she breaks the law. The more evidence there is against her, the greater the odds people will believe you if she does break the law. But you have to tell someone about her to make that happen, build her the bad reputation she deserves.
She's very vocal about where she keeps things.
That's somewhat incomprehensible...
It's still hot and dry here BTW. There's a promise of a tiny little bit of rain tomorrow. We shall see.
That's somewhat incomprehensible...
She's not exactly a rational person.
BTW, I absolutely FUCKING *HATE* THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!! I was supposed to be over at the nabes mowing their lawn right now. I was going to wait until a little later to do it because it's so fucking hot out ATM, but when I poked my head out the door a while ago I could see the rain clouds starting to billow up from the Everglades. I made the decision to go do it now before the rains came. Well, QoH decided to throw a monkey wrench into my plans and started with her, "NO! You're not taking *my* lawnmower!" bullshit because I'll "be struck by lightning". It hasn't even started raining yet, I'd be done before it even starts. I told her I thought she'd be happy if I was struck by lightning. I started to take the mower out and she starts screaming, "NO! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT" and grabbed onto it and started a tug-of-war and telling me that I'm going to wait until the rain passes. Well fuck me running, that could be several hours or not at all, and the whole point is so I can get it done because I have to go to bed early because I have to work at 6am, and also because tomorrow is when other nabe's lawn guy comes and if he sees the grass that high over there, he will go ahead and mow theirs, too, and those idiots won't stop him or tell him that I'm going to do it, then I'll be out $40 easy money because QoH is being a fucking irrational piece of shit control freak cunt! I'm so fucking pissed off right now. I swear to God when I start making a lot of money in the next few months I'm going to buy all my own lawn equipment and pay for it on my credit card so that there's definitive proof that *I* bought it, then there isn't going to be all this bullshit with the "you're not using *my* equipment" that she always pulls.
I'm sick and fucking tired of that fucking bitch always interfering with my life and plans.
I managed to do their yard, but dumbass granddaughter left and didn't leave the extension cord through the mail slot in the door like she said she would so I could finish with the weed whacker and blower, now I have to do it when I get home from work today, which BTW S asked me to stay a few hours longer to help put away stuff being delivered from our suppliers. :)
that there's definitive proof that *I* bought it
But to whom will you present that proof? QoH is likely to reject it.
Also, calling your mother a motherfucker is... paradoxical. ;P
Hey, we had some rain. Yay...
But to whom will you present that proof? QoH is likely to reject it.
The one time I tried to move out, QoH claimed that my computer and a few other things were hers, the cops said I needed receipts in my name as proof that they belonged to me.
We had rain here, too. It came down hard when I was driving home from work.
I was only supposed to work 4 hours today, but S asked me to stay to help him put away deliveries. He had to ask Bitchy if it was okay when she got in. She didn't want me helping him, but gave me a really shit task--reorganizing the glassware in the bistro and the disaster area freight elevator where they store the old glassware. Took me about 30 minutes to do the bistro, and 3 hours to do the stuff in the elevator (which *stinks* in there).
All the glassware in the elevator was all mixed, all the racks mixed, none of it in the same style racks, it was a fucking mess! I pulled it all out, put all the same type of glasses in the same style racks, stacked everything according to type of glass, and put it all back. It'll likely be tidy for about 1 month if I'm lucky. :/ At least I got 8.5 hours as I got there 30 minutes early and was there an extra 3.5 hours straightening up the glassware.
And can you believe QoH was up at 4:30am to start her bullshit with me? Screaming her accusations and insanity at me? That's why I got to work so early, I hauled ass outta here as soon as I could. :/
It'll likely be tidy for about 1 month if I'm lucky
Does nobody sort the glassware normally?
can you believe QoH was up at 4:30am to start her bullshit with me?
Yes, I can.
Why wasn't she asleep? Were you asleep? I mean, did she wake you up?
Does nobody sort the glassware normally?
The glassware in the bistro is labeled in English and Creole for the dishwashers who are Haitian. They even have a picture of the color rack on the sign above each stack of racks so they don't mix. Eg: wine glasses go in burgundy racks, water glasses in blue, coffee mugs in yellow, same type glass in each rack, never mix. Different story in the other kitchen. They don't have anything labeled for the dishwashers and they just use any rack that's empty. Everything was a jumbled mess. :/
Why wasn't she asleep?
IDK, I think she stayed up all night. She's such a control freak. Keeps herself up with irrational thoughts about me.
Were you asleep? I mean, did she wake you up?
I took Nyquil so I could fall asleep before 10pm. I had my alarm set for 4:40am. When I got up, she immediately came out of her room to start her shit, saying 'I was wondering when you were going to get up?' and then started calling me evil, satanic, accusing me of cutting the floor and walls and furniture with a knife, accused me of "sanding the ceiling" ???? WTF? just screaming at me like a lunatic and following me around when I was trying to eat something. I didn't even get 2 bites of cottage cheese. I couldn't eat with her shouting at me like a maniac and she wasn't running out of steam, so I just got dressed as fast as I could and got the hell outta here. She even threatened to not let me take the car. She's so irrational.
Anyway, Alex gave me 2 more gigs for this month. :)
I took Nyquil so I could fall asleep before 10pm.
Is that safe? I think I read somewhere about Nyquil possibly having some nasty side-effects. Was a long time ago though.
I had my alarm set for 4:40am.
That early? Wow.
accused me of "sanding the ceiling"
So, ehm, does your mother ever get high? Like, on meth or something?
Alex gave me 2 more gigs for this month
Cool. Alex FTW. :)
Is that safe? I think I read somewhere about Nyquil possibly having some nasty side-effects.
It has 6.5mg of sleep aid where the OTC sleeping pills that I had bought have 25mg of the same drug. The 6.5mg gets me sleepy enough without making me feel wonky. The only bad side effect is I don't get into a dream cycle, so I don't feel rested. I didn't take anything last night as I was fucking exhausted after 2 days of having to get up that early. I ended up waking up a few minutes before my alarm at 5am this morning, got to work at 6am. Got almost 6.5 hours today. It was easy. Just 2 meetings to take coffee to and make sure they got their bagels and fruit that they ordered. Then just sitting around and waiting for them to finish. At least Bitchy didn't work today. I don't think I could have tolerated another day of seeing her, I find her very grating. Alex came in at 10am, also big boss. He annoys me, too, mainly because of his fake friendly routine. R told me that someone in finance was investigating him for embezzling money then had a meeting with upper management and died that night. D: Next person in finance didn't follow through with the investigation. R says that him and Bitchy are both in on it. I believe it, I've seen it every place I worked--management always skimming. That's why they are always so suspicious of everyone else, it's their own dirty consciences.
That early? Wow.
Yep, 3 days in a row. I'm *not* a morning person. :/
So, ehm, does your mother ever get high? Like, on meth or something?
I kinda wish she did, might be easier to get along with.
Cool. Alex FTW. :)
Yep, Alex is cool so far and she doesn't annoy me. R said that Alex said she likes when I'm there because I just do my work and don't complain. And I like when she's there because she leaves me alone to do my work and isn't bitchy.
That's why they are always so suspicious of everyone else, it's their own dirty consciences.
I guess if you know that you do bad things then you probably worry more about other people doing bad things as well?
I kinda wish she did, might be easier to get along with.
Not if she were using methamphetamines. Besides, you don't know what she gets up to when you're at work. Has she stayed up till that late/early before?
Besides, you don't know what she gets up to when you're at work.
I know that she has been in my room to snoop. Things were not as I left them. The only problem with that is I have nothing to hide, so she isn't going to find anything. I also noticed that she put fingernail polish on the windshield wiper arm of her truck. That vehicle is 23 years old, therefore stuff on it deteriorates. She accused me of "scraping the paint off the wiper arm". It's clear to any rational person that it flaked off because of age. She'll likely forget that she put it on there herself and then accuse me of doing it. :/
Has she stayed up till that late/early before?
Yes. She claims that she can't sleep. Also claims that she never gets any sleep. Funny, I didn't know people could snore when they're wide awake. BTW, she was sound asleep when I got up to go to work yesterday and didn't wake up before I left, thank God. :)
Hey, my state is kicking ass economically. Just announced today that we have hit $1 trillion in GDP. :)
Things were not as I left them.
Maybe you should leave "surprises" for her here and there. ;P
Or notes. "Nope, nothing here for you." ;P
she put fingernail polish on the windshield wiper arm of her truck
Why?
my state is kicking ass economically.
Well, let's hope they invest the money wisely.
Maybe you should leave "surprises" for her here and there. ;P
That would just set her off even more. :/
Why?
Because the original paint had flaked off exposing the bare metal. She's paranoid that it's going to rust. I think it's made of aluminum, so it won't rust, but she'll argue the point anyway. It's her vehicle. If she wants to put fingernail polish on it IDGAF.
Well, let's hope they invest the money wisely.
As long as the dipshits from SE Florida don't take control.
Today's accusation from QoH: she "heard the sound of a metal ladder outside her bedroom window at 4:30am" getting at that *I'm* the one doing that. I told her that I was sound asleep at 4:30am. I also told her if she "heard me" outside doing that, why didn't she get up and walk the few feet to my bedroom to see if I was in there or not, or maybe poke your head out the front door to catch me red handed if indeed it was actually me doing that. No answer other than her telling me that I keep my door locked. She doesn't actually want definitive proof of anything, otherwise she couldn't keep these false accusations going.
I swear I'm going to buy a video camera system to monitor the yard when I get enough money. I'm tired of all her bullshit and accusations with zero evidence.
the dipshits from SE Florida
Who?
she "heard the sound of a metal ladder outside her bedroom window at 4:30am"
Maybe she dreamed it? My mother often has problems falling asleep. Sometimes she complains about not getting any sleep at all but then my father usually remarks that he heared her snore. She also sometimes claims to have heared things like people outside talking oudly or making noises. She's even claimed to have heared gunshots. I kind of have to assume she dreamed those things. She hasn't claimed to have heared any ladders so far though. :)
BTW why would you put a ladder outside her bedroom window?
I'm going to buy a video camera system to monitor
Won't that make her think you're monitoring her?
Who?
The far-left asshole politicians from down here who think money grows on trees, want to tax everyone up the ying-yang, and spend money on frivolous bullshit (which mainly goes to companies owned by their crooked friends and family). Namely idiots like Phillip Levine and Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (whose parents were just as corrupt as she is).
Maybe she dreamed it?
Maybe. Or she heard something and misinterpreted what she heard. She has always had a wild imagination like a little kid and assumes all sorts of crazy things with zero evidence to support her beliefs.
BTW why would you put a ladder outside her bedroom window?
I would not put a ladder outside her window, especially at 4:30am. It's completely insane.
Won't that make her think you're monitoring her?
That would be a good thing. People tend to behave better when they know they're being watched or on camera.
(whose parents were just as corrupt as she is).
Why hasn't Trump had her arrested yet? I mean, if *you* know she's corrupt then certainly the police and the FBI know as well. :)
People tend to behave better when they know they're being watched or on camera.
Some do, so don't. Some people just don't care. Some people get a little paranoid. :)
In other news, we're apparently expecting a heat wave. There's a 2% chance of temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius. Basically, we´re all going to die of dehydration. Any tips?
Why hasn't Trump had her arrested yet?
It is not a great mystery that the ones who run the FBI are Democrat partisan hacks. DWS had a whole family of Pakistani spies working for her as "IT specialists" even though none of them had IT backgrounds. They had access to numerous members of Congress' passwords and sensitive documents. It was reported that she was paying them $175,000 each, which IIRC is the same amount Congress members are paid. They were also acquiring equipment on the taxpayer dime and stealing it. She protected them fiercely even after everything they were doing was uncovered. Several of them high tailed it out of the country back to Pakistan, one was caught at the airport. The biggest insult is the guy was guilty as hell of numerous crimes including espionage, but they only charged him with some bs bank fraud misdemeanor and he received a very minimal penalty, I don't think he got any jail time. Meanwhile, corrupt DWS is still walking free, even though it looks like she was involved in treasonous activities. >:(
BTW, Capitol police were investigating all of that, but someone pressured them to drop the investigation.
Some do, so don't. Some people just don't care.
QoH tends to control her mouth when she knows I'm recording her on my phone. She doesn't want there to be any evidence of her bad behavior.
There's a 2% chance of temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius.
D: That's like 104F. D: D: D: I can't remember the last time it was even close to that temperature here.
Any tips?
Do you have any public buildings that are air conditioned? I'd suggest hanging out there. When it gets too hot here, peeps who don't have AC go hang out at the mall or library or something like that. Or you could always take a road trip and go soak in the North Sea. ;P
It is not a great mystery that the ones who run the FBI are Democrat partisan hacks.
Have they been arrested then? Surely, if it's not great mystery.
I get the feeling you've been reading a lot of conspiracy oriented websites. ;P
That's like 104F.
Thankfully there's only a 2% chance of it actually happening.
go soak in the North Sea.
Meh, it's rather polluted these days. Plus there's not a lot shade on the beaches. Maybe I'll just soak my feet in a bucket with cold water.
Have they been arrested then?
Of course not. The problem is that the corruption runs deep and both parties are involved. It's like the mafia only worse. No one's going to rat anyone out because they're all guilty of something. That's why both sides had such a hissy fit when Trump got elected. He's not a career politician and he's not even a Republican. He just ran as that because it's one party or the other.
Well, a bit of good news. QoH went for her eye doctor consultation today. The actual laser procedure costs $260, so less than what the Internet said. And the doctor had the appointment setter try to get her PCP to authorize payment through her insurance, so if that happens I won't have to pay out of pocket. If they don't authorize it, at least it isn't too expensive. :)
That's why both sides had such a hissy fit
Both sides? Republicans weren't happy with Trump either? Why did they choose him as presidential candidate then? Did the republican base rebel against its' elite or something? Are you saying Trump was really the best candidate they could choose?
He just ran as that because it's one party or the other.
So you're saying that if he'd ran as a democrat then we'd be seeing a different Donald Trump now? That he's just a pragmatic opportunist ideological shapeshifter, as it were? Well, maybe, but I honestly doubt that he could ever have ran as a democrat.
QoH went for her eye doctor consultation today.
When will she get the treatment?
Both sides?
.
Yep.
Republicans weren't happy with Trump either?
Nope. Not the so-called "establishment" ones.
Why did they choose him as presidential candidate then?
They didn't. The people chose him during the primaries. I was kinda shocked myself.
Did the republican base rebel against its' elite or something?
Yep.
Are you saying Trump was really the best candidate they could choose?
Looks that way. I wasn't for him initially, but I certainly wasn't going to vote for Hillary. I've been mostly pleasantly surprised and am happy that he got the nomination now.
So you're saying that if he'd ran as a democrat then we'd be seeing a different Donald Trump now?
He was a life-long Democrat in New York, but I guess that was mainly because you can't get anything done in NY without being Democrat. He's socially kinda liberal, but because he's a businessman he's been good with tax and regulations reform. I guess you could say he's kinda libertarian. He couldn't run as libertarian party because no one takes them seriously and the Democrats have gone too far left, so he really had no choice but to run as a Republican. I don't think the dems would have allowed him to run as they already had it rigged for Hillary.
When will she get the treatment?
7th of August. She hasn't been such a bitch to me since she got her procedure scheduled. I'm sure it won't last long.
In other news, I was only scheduled to work until 5pm today, but I had S and Alex ask if they needed me for the evening party since it was supposed to be over 200 people. I guess it was big boss who decided that he wanted me to stay, because Bitchy had kept saying no. Anyway, I'm glad I did because R worked the bar and I ended up getting $21 in tips again plus she smuggled out food for me in her purse. ;D Bitchy wasn't watching R (who left about 10 minutes before me, but waited in the parking lot for me) like she watches me. I also got almost 12 hours today. :)
The party Saturday is just going to be me, C, and old boss as manager. At least she's easy to work for and let's us take food home. :)
Yeah, QoH not being a total bitch to me ended this morning. She's right back to her nasty self with her usual accusations of me "spraying her plants with poison" and "cutting her furniture". I honestly don't know how she thinks I have time to do any of that when I worked 12 hours yesterday, was gone for 14 hours, and went to bed 3 hours after I got home. :/
And she was obviously a busy beaver yesterday while I was gone. She threw away a bunch of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles which still had a bit left in them that were in my shower, threw away a full bottle of toilet cleaner, half a bottle of mouth wash that she poured down the sink, and a loofa. I retrieved 2 of the shampoo bottles and the toilet cleaner, but the other stuff was a loss since she dumped it out of the bottles. Such a fucking bitch. You can well imagine what *her* reaction would be if I did that with her stuff. :/
I guess you could say he's kinda libertarian.
Interesting idea. I'll have to look into that.
she smuggled out food for me in her purse
#sigh# :/
Well, at least you've been promoted from thief to fence. ;P :|
in my shower
You have your own shower? :O
You have your own shower? :O
My own bathroom. Which has a shower. QoH has an en suite bathroom. There are only 2 bathrooms in the house.
Not much going on here aside from QoH being a bitch. I bought a pineapple for $2 on Monday and just got around to cutting it up today. It was very sweet and delicious. :)
#sigh# :/
Well, at least you've been promoted from thief to fence. ;P :|
I'm tired of the double standards. R told me that all the people they had working Club level on Sunday took home black to-go boxes full of shrimp and ribs and no one said shit to them even though all the managers were there. I'm not going to feel bad about taking some salad and a wrap that was ordered from a local deli for the morning meeting. No one touched it and it was all going in the garbage. Plus, managers steal our tips that clients put on credit cards. :/
I'm tired of the double standards.
I'm sure you are but that won't matter if they catch you taking things. If you feel so strongly about those double standards then maybe you should confront your boss about that. Or maybe you should aspire to become someone who works Club level.
Ah, black to-go boxes full of shrimp and ribs, what decadence. It's so unfair... ;)
Ahhh, hello there, Arekino-san! You are here earlier that I expected! ;P
I'm bored out of my mind today. I was half-assedly doing some abs exercises earlier. I just don't think I look like I work out all the time. :/
I had ordered some perfume for QoH for her birthday and I've been monitoring the tracking on it. It was supposed to be delivered today by the post office, but the mail has already been delivered here and there was no package. The tracking says that it's "out for delivery" so I'm hoping that it's being delivered separately from the mail and hasn't been stolen. :/
And I wish QoH wasn't such a fucking bitch because R wanted to hang out with me and do stuff, but I told her how crazy QoH has gotten and that it wouldn't be a good idea. (R knows QoH from when we worked there before.) :/
I had ordered some perfume for QoH for her birthday
When was the last time you gave her a present for her birthday?
I'm hoping that it's being delivered separately from the mail
Yeah, over here, if a package does't fit through the mailbox slot, it gets hand delivered. It's kinda fun having a delivery van stop by your house and getting a package.
I wish QoH wasn't such a fucking bitch
Let's hope that perfume has an anaesthetising effect. ;P
When was the last time you gave her a present for her birthday?
I don't remember. ;P At least 8 years if I had to guess.
It's kinda fun having a delivery van stop by your house and getting a package.
It used to be fun waiting for a package to be delivered, but now it's stressful because you don't know if it's going to be stolen by someone at the post office or some random person who saw it being delivered. The postal workers are too lazy to knock on your door and wait for someone to answer. Most of the time they just throw it on the walkway where anyone can see it. :/
Let's hope that perfume has an anaesthetising effect. ;P
It would be well worth the $20 if that was the case. ;P
In other news, old boss was the manager on duty tonight. We had a reception for the Symphony. Old boss ordered really good pizza for us for dinner and she let us take home the leftovers and the cookies and brownies from the reception. :D
Most of the time they just throw it on the walkway where anyone can see it.
Are Americans bad at complaining or something? This is not the kind of service I would want.
she let us take home the leftovers
Old boss seems okay to me. :)
I wish summer would end. I'm totally ready for winter. I wish it would rain. Or freeze. Or first rain and then freeze. How about a flood? Just tear down the dikes and let the water flow? Seems reasonable to me. :/
Are Americans bad at complaining or something?
No, we are world champion complainers. Unfortunately, the post office is run by the federal government and you can complain until you are blue in the face, they don't care. And because they are federal employees, they know that they won't be fired no matter what they do. And since they are funded by tax dollars, they don't have to be efficient, competent, or profitable like other businesses that have to do all those things as well as compete with other businesses to stay in business.
That's why most people choose a private delivery company like UPS or FedEx. This partnership with the post office and private delivery companies puzzles me. UPS managed to get the package to Miami on time, but they delivered it to the post office so they can do the delivery. They (post office) couldn't handle getting it here on time (if it ever gets here at all). Trust me, when Walmart sends me the email asking how my experience was, I can guarantee I'm going to complain. This is precisely why I normally have my items "shipped to store for pickup" whenever I buy online from Walmart. At least if something happens to the package the responsibility is Walmart's and they would either replace it or refund my money with very little hassle. This time around, it was a second party seller that sold through the Walmart website, and delivery to the store was not an option. I don't think I'll be purchasing anything else that is second party seller. It's not worth the stress. :/
Old boss seems okay to me. :)
Yeah, she's cool regarding things like that. :) She knows that big boss and Bitchy are a pain in the ass, she mentioned that to me yesterday. ;D
Just tear down the dikes and let the water flow? Seems reasonable to me. :/
Joe Biden said the same thing about Florida. He wanted to tear down the dikes around Lake Okeechobee and let the flood waters destroy all the infrastructure in South Florida. You can imagine how well *that* went over. ;P
Hey, I don't recall if I mentioned it before, but I noticed that the dock on the river in front of my work is one of those nifty Dutch style ones that has fixed pilings and the deck of the dock floats in the water and rides up and down with the tide. :)
we are world champion complainers.
I'm pretty sure the Dutch are better. :)
This partnership with the post office and private delivery companies puzzles me.
Yeah, why don't they "ship to store for pickup" themselves? Odd.
He wanted to tear down the dikes around Lake Okeechobee and let the flood waters destroy all the infrastructure in South Florida.
Oh, come one, even Joe Biden woudn't say something that stupid.
those nifty Dutch style ones
I can't say if that really a Dutch style. Then again I don't spend that much time around water so I guess that makes sense. :)
Yeah, why don't they "ship to store for pickup" themselves? Odd.
It's strange. Regular Walmart items that they sell in stores they will ship by FedEx to a store for pickup. Second party seller items sold through the Walmart website they ship by UPS to the post office, then post office is supposed to deliver it to your house. Seems very inefficient. If UPS had delivered it themselves I would have gotten the package on Friday. Any time the government gets involved, everything get effed up and inefficient. :/
Oh, come one, even Joe Biden woudn't say something that stupid.
He totally did. He said they were going to tear down the dikes and let the waters flow. Exact words. It was some event a few years ago regarding Everglades restoration.
I can't say if that really a Dutch style.
I saw a program about Dutch design and houses built to float when an area floods. It reminded me of those designs. Whoever invented it, it's a good design IMO. :)
He said they were going to tear down the dikes and let the waters flow.
Do you have a link? I'm quite curious about this. I tried googling but I could only find recent stuff.
Did the package arrive? Did QoH like the present?
Do you have a link?
No, but I could take a look around the toobs and post one if I find one.
Did the package arrive?
Yes, it arrived today around 12:30pm.
Did QoH like the present?
IDK, she acted like a total bitch, didn't even say thank you. She sarcastically asked if it was a bomb, ripped the paper off, then threw it on her desk. Also accused me of buying a knock off even though it's quite clear that it's genuine and in unopened factory issued condition.
I'm really pissed off about it and I regret buying it. That's what I get for trying to be nice. I was so mad that I texted R about it. She deals with similar from her parents, no matter what you do its never good enough. :/
I couldn't find the one dumb remark, but I found the one where he said his SS guard would shoot Ron Bergeron. I had forgotten about that. The comments section is pretty funny in that article. LOL
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/biden-jokes-about-secret-service-threatening-shoot-florida-s-fish-and-wildlife
That's what I get for trying to be nice.
It's what you get for being nice *to her*. Did you really expect her to react positively?
he said his SS guard would shoot Ron Bergeron
He was joking there apparently. Maybe the other remark was also a joke?
Did you really expect her to react positively?
IDK what I expected. It's clear that she doesn't have one shred of human decency left when it comes to me. I'm completely demonized in her deranged mind and it's clear that she will never allow herself to have any positive feeling in regards to me. :/
He was joking there apparently. Maybe the other remark was also a joke?
I know he was joking there, but there was a big uproar around that time over people joking about things like that. It just illustrated the double standard that Biden could joke about that, but anyone else got crucified by the media. The "tear down the levees and let the water flow" remark was real, I remember watching him say it. It was just another one of the many dumb things he's said without thinking it through.
she will never allow herself to have any positive feeling in regards to me.
Which I guess is what you were hoping for? Just a little show of appreciation? Or maybe even that she cares about you?
You deserve so much more than she can give you. You deserve a real, caring mother. Good parents. But, you should probably stop looking for that in your actual parents.
In other news, it was 38 degrees Celsius to day outside. Inside it was a mere 28.5 degrees. I may be dying of heatstroke soon. I and most of Europe. I wish I was in Iceland ATM.
Just a little show of appreciation?
A simple Thank You would have sufficed. But that was too much to ask. :/
I may be dying of heatstroke soon.
That's too bad. I'd definitely miss you. ;P
It still blows my mind that you live in a "first world" country, but don't have AC. You should come here. ;D
Hey, guess what I saw on a Walmart advertisement on my fb? An inflatable bathtub! You need one of those. You could fill it with ice water and have a good soak. ;P
I also saw a redneck engineered AC made from a Igloo cooler, some PVC pipe, and a small fan. Maybe you should make one of those. ;P
I wish I was in Iceland ATM.
I've always wanted to visit there some time. :)
It still blows my mind that you live in a "first world" country, but don't have AC.
It's not that we can't have AC. It's just that we don't usually have weather that's this warm, even in summer. Summers tend to be quit wet in the Netherlands. We really don't like to spend money on things we don't *really* need.
I'm seriously considering buying an AC now though.
An inflatable bathtub! You need one of those.
So basically an inflatable pool? My sister has one of those. I don´ t think I really need one of those, I could just put my feet in a bucket of water. :)
I've always wanted to visit there some time.
My oldest nephew and his father (my sister's husband) will be going there this august for a few days. Lucky bastards. ;)
I'm seriously considering buying an AC now though.
:O Wow, it must *really* be hot! ;P
Saw a cartoon on my fb page: Picture of "God's Kitchen", angel walks in, asks God 'what ya cooking?', God says, 'The Netherlands'. LOL
So basically an inflatable pool?
It was the shape and size of a regular bathtub, just inflatable.
Lucky bastards. ;)
Yep, that's for sure.
Hey, my ex-friend C at work just got back from her Danube riverboat cruise. Saw Vienna & Budapest and all that. Said it was beautiful, but some idiot ran aground on a sandbar and some other idiot tried to pass around and ended up crashing and blocking the Danube for all boat traffic, so the trip got cut a little short. She said the tour company tried to make up for it by comping part of the trip and giving them additional side excursions.
On a positive note, have you gotten summer penis? ;P
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5990421/Soaring-temperatures-giving-men-summer-penises.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline
some idiot ran aground on a sandbar
I guess the river isn't as deep with so much of its' water evaporating because of the unusual heat. Still, sandbags are well documented, I expect. Then again, this is Eastern-Europe we're talking about. :)
On a positive note, have you gotten summer penis?
I've noticed no obvious difference so far. I'm sure the heat is stimulating the general blood circulation though. Do you think there's an advantage to a larger penis? :)
Then again, this is Eastern-Europe we're talking about. :)
No shortage of idiots wherever you go. Did I tell you about the idiot driving the Jungle Queen paddle wheel boat who tried to beat the train bridge when it was lowering? Just barely made it. That would have been a real mess if he wrecked. :/
Do you think there's an advantage to a larger penis? :)
Nah, I imagine a regular size one would suffice. Seems that a lot of men see having a big one as some sort of status symbol, though. ;P
I'm soooooo tired. Had to be at work this morning at 6:30am to feed the ushers and bartenders. Ushers got coffee, fruit, bagels, & danishes for breakfast, and the bartenders got salad, ziti, & rolls for lunch. Gotta do a repeat tomorrow. Off Monday, then 6:30am again on Tuesday & Wednesday. :/
I stopped by Penn Dutch to buy eggs, tomatoes, & blueberries when I got out of work. Now I'm fighting to stay awake. I don't want to nap or else I won't be able to fall asleep later. At least QoH (who was busy snooping in my room while I was gone) decided that she was too tired to go to the grocery store today when I got home.
to feed the ushers and bartenders
Do those people belong to your company?
she was too tired to go to the grocery store
Well, snooping takes a lot energy out of you. ;P
What do you think she was looking for now?
Do those people belong to your company?
Yes.
Well, snooping takes a lot energy out of you. ;P
Apparently. ;D
What do you think she was looking for now?
Who knows. :/
So guess what happened at work today? One of the elderly ladies who usually works behind the carving station in the theater took a double dose of her meds and fell, so she got sent home. The manager was in a panic because that made them shorthanded, so he wanted to know if I could come over and help out. I said yes because I need the extra hours (they had 2 shows in the theater today). Anyway, all I had to do was hand cokes, cookies, brownies, and coffees to the cashiers whenever someone ordered something. It was eeeeasy. And I made an additional 4 hours + $22 tips. :D Now I know why people like S always like working over there. And R was working up in club level, so I got to hang out with her during breaks. :)
And something I noticed about R, she doesn't come to work high when I'm there, I guess I give her something to look forward to. Makes me feel good to know I'm having that kind of affect on her. :)
I made an additional 4 hours + $22 tips
Not bad. :)
she doesn't come to work high when I'm there
How do you know that?
Not bad. :)
Yep, not bad. And it was just a show for kids. I can well imagine what tips would be like for a concert.
How do you know that?
A couple people told me, my own observations, and R herself told me in a roundabout way.
Anyway, QoH was back to her bullshit today. I woke up a little before 8am, tried to go back to sleep, but had to use the toilet, so I ended up getting up to go. QoH leaves her door open so she can monitor me, so she obviously heard me come out of my room. So she started her bs first thing and continues to do so.
Her first accusation was that I keyed her truck when I left for work yesterday morning. I can assure you that I did no such thing. I don't see any new scratches on it btw. Then she accused me of removing one of the little rubber feet from her bathroom scale. Once again, I did no such thing. It's obvious that it got knocked off, but why think logically when she can just blame me. I even got on my hands and knees to search her bedroom floor for it. I couldn't find it, so I replaced it with a couple of those stick-on rubber things that you put on the bottom of chair legs. She couldn't be thankful, just accused me of destroying it. :massive facepalm:
Then she accused me of pulling off the plastic trim piece from her truck. It's obvious that the double-sided tape that it was originally applied with had let loose (on one end) after 23 years, but once again, why see reason when she can just blame it on me. I tried to fix it earlier, but it started raining as I was doing so, so I didn't finish. I'll have to dry the whole thing off again before I tear off the plastic to get the other side to stick. She even threw a fit because I pulled the trim piece back so I could clean all the dirt off. Well shit, bitch? How the fuck do you think the tape is supposed to stick with it all being dirty? I had to clean it all. How am I supposed to clean it otherwise? She's just a fucking bitch and determined to be a bitch no matter what I do.
QoH leaves her door open so she can monitor me
Does she leave the toilet door open as well when she on the crapper or does that go too far even for her? ;P
she accused me of removing one of the little rubber feet from her bathroom scale.
That suggests she uses the bathroom scale which doesn't seem plausible. :)
why see reason when she can just blame it on me.
Maybe that´s just her (insane) way of communicating to you that she needs you to do something for her?
Does she leave the toilet door open as well when she on the crapper or does that go too far even for her? ;P
Of course she leaves it open. She's a total narc, and they seem to have an exhibitionist streak. Ever since I was a kid, she always leaves it open and wants everyone else to do so as well. No boundaries, no privacy. :/
That suggests she uses the bathroom scale which doesn't seem plausible. :)
She does use it. Amazingly, she's lost about 35 pounds.
Anyway, Bitchy texted me to tell me that I don't have to come in at 6:30am, to be in at 8am instead tomorrow. I'm not going in for 3 hours. I'm going to go in at 7am. She's not there that early, and ex-boss is the one who does payroll now and she doesn't care how many hours we get or how early we come in. :)
Also, I texted some with R today and she flat out told me that she's glad I'm back and I give her something to look forward to. :)
And Alex told me that the Frisky Lady from the b-day party wants to book another party so she can see me again. D: Alex also said she was surprised that Frisky didn't ask for my contact info. IDK, it's kinda flattering. I've never had anyone so obsessed with me before. ;D
R said I should get business cards made up for when peeps might want to book me for private parties. She's not wrong. I really need to do that.
wants everyone else to do so as wel
:o Does she bang on the door if you lock it?
she's lost about 35 pounds.
Over what period of time? Doesn't she have diabetes? Losing that much weight usually means it's getting out of control. Unless she's actually eating and/or drinking less?
she flat out told me that she's glad I'm back
I can understand that, you're good company. :)
the Frisky Lady from the b-day party wants to book another party so she can see me again.
The Frisky Lady? The married one? I'm sure she just appreciated your service. I think. Maybe. Probably. :)
:o Does she bang on the door if you lock it?
Yep, and accuses me of being a "mental case". I think most people want privacy when they're in the bathroom. To think there's something wrong with *that* is abnormal IMO.
Over what period of time?
The past 3 or 4 years. She doesn't use insulin. I think it's because she cut carbs like bread and pasta out of her diet.
The Frisky Lady? The married one?
Yeah, the gay lady who had the party for her partner. I'm not entirely sure that Alex wasn't messing with me a bit. But if she *does* book another party, I might give her my # if she wants me for a house party or something. They were very nice people and I wouldn't mind working for them again.
Anyway, Bitchy doesn't do her job. Both meetings were cancelled today, but she only told me about one being cancelled. Told me to come in at 8am. Then after I left work today, I get a call from her after I got home with her bitching at me that she told me to come in at 10am and that I punched in at 7:15am. I told her she only texted me about the one party and 8am time. She told me not to punch in more than 15 minutes early. Then she accused me of calling S and asking him about it, which is 100% untrue, I never contact him about work, he texted me this morning to ask if they told me about the cancellations, but I was already at work when he texted. She really pissed me off, so I screen captured her text and my response and texted it back to her. She tried to say that Alex texted me, but I never got a text from Alex. Bitch can eat a bag of dicks. Even old boss told me that she doesn't let people know of changes and then lies about it and acts like a total bitch. :/
Bitch can eat a bag of dicks.
But where to get a bag of dicks? :)
So do you think Bitchy is going to be trouble for you in the future?
But where to get a bag of dicks? :)
She'd be the one to find it. She's a dick hound. It's rumored that she's fucking big boss (they're both married to other people), I believe that from what I've observed of the way they act around each other, so she thinks she can treat people like shit & big boss will protect her. She also likes to flirt with the male bartenders who are young & cute.
So do you think Bitchy is going to be trouble for you in the future?
Definitely. She's trouble for me *now*. And I can't go to HR and file a complaint because HR takes the side of management. I just have to be smarter than her (which I am already ;) ) and outlast her.
Holy hell! Claudia Christian is now following me on instagram! :O :D
She also likes to flirt with the male bartenders who are young & cute.
And you don't like to do that?
Claudia Christian is now following me on instagram!
The actrice? I admit you're photogenic but are you a good photographer as well then? I wonder which image prompted her to follow you?
And you don't like to do that?
No, because only one of them is mildly attractive, but not enough to interest me. Besides, most of the male bartenders there are old or old and gay. The only bartenders there that I like are R, C, JT(the mildly attractive one).
The actrice?
Yes, the one who played Ivanova on Babylon 5.
I wonder which image prompted her to follow you?
Maybe it was the Cobra Kai shirt. ;P
Or the food pics? I have some nice baked goods on there. ;D Could have been a reciprocal follow. When you follow someone on instagram, they get a notification & can choose to follow you back. This is the first time a famous person chose to follow me. :D
Could have been a reciprocal follow.
When did you start following her?
When did you start following her?
Wednesday I think? I had the notification that she was following me the next day.
I was on there looking to add more friends (if they had instagram) and she was on the suggestion list.
Anyhoo, last night at work we had a 90th b-day party for some gay dudes. It was a nice party, they had a good menu for their buffet, a really good band as entertainment, the guests were nice, and R worked bar and tipped me out $10, which was pretty good since it was only a party of 75 peeps. :)
we had a 90th b-day party for some gay dudes.
Everyone had a gay old time then, I guess? ;P
A joke from the stone age. ;)
How's the weather over yonder BTW?
Everyone had a gay old time then, I guess? ;P
They most certainly did. ;P And the staff rejoiced because the gays are usually good tippers. :)
How's the weather over yonder BTW?
Hot. Friday when I left work the thermometer in my car said that the outside temperature was 93F degrees. D: It's hot again today--88F, but not ridiculously so like Friday. And nabe across the street wants me to come mow. :/
the outside temperature was 93F degrees.
That's roundabout the temperature we've been having. Not great but it's been warmer. It was ridiculously hot in Spain the past week. Glad I'm not on vacation there. It used to be that the Dutch would go abroad for the high temperatures but we might as well stay home this year
We're expecting lower temperatures around the middle of the week so I'm looking forward to that.
I guess you stay inside mostly when it's that hot? I bet your American malls are a very popular place to be around this time of year.
It was ridiculously hot in Spain the past week.
Yes, I saw that on the news. D:
Glad I'm not on vacation there.
Have you ever been on vacation there? ;P
I guess you stay inside mostly when it's that hot?
Yep. I stay inside mostly anyway. ;)
I bet your American malls are a very popular place to be around this time of year.
I suppose. They're popular year round. Any store, but especially grocery stores are good for cold AC. Winn Dixie's meat and produce departments are so cold that they'd make good penguin habitats. I'm not exaggerating. And the old Western Beef used to have a refrigerated meat room where you couldn't stand to be in there for more than 2 minutes without a jacket. D:
Anyway, I finished the nabes' yard today and got paid. :)
Have you ever been on vacation there?
Well, there was that one time when Sinterklaas' helper Black Pete put me in his brown sack and dragged me off to Spain when I was a naughty child. Luckily I managed to escape from the toy factory they forced me to work at. Took me a week to hitchhike back home. :)
grocery stores are good for cold AC
Yeah, that's here as well. Hey, what type of AC do you have at home? Are you happy with that?
and got paid.
Always nice. Maybe it's time to buy a safe that can withstand QoH's inquiries? :)
when I was a naughty child
Now if you're a naughty adult, The Great Xul can drag you to Florida for special punishments. I doubt that you'll want to escape. ;P
Hey, what type of AC do you have at home?
A Lennox brand HVAC.
Are you happy with that?
Sure, it works good. :)
Ugh, Bitchy texted me today while I was at the eye doc for QoH's laser procedure. She wants me to work Friday at 5:30am. D: I'm supposed to get 7 hours, so I said yes. At least there's no traffic that early. :/
Anyway, the laser thing went well. QoH can now see perfectly.
Friday at 5:30am. D: I'm supposed to get 7 hours,
At least you'll be back home early. Somewhat. :)
Maybe you could tell QoH that you have to work a few hours longer so you can have some fun on your own?
QoH can now see perfectly.
She must be in a good mood then?
Maybe you could tell QoH that you have to work a few hours longer so you can have some fun on your own?
I'm too honest for my own good and already wrote the date & time on the calendar. I'll have to do that another time, preferably when R might be available to hang out with me. ;)
She must be in a good mood then?
Nope! She was back to being a flaming bitch today. She was actually not too bad yesterday, but it didn't last long. I guess she was on her best behavior long enough to get me to pay for the procedure. Probably figured if she was nasty to me I wouldn't pay for it. :/
BTW, she's such a fucking moron that she still insists on wearing her glasses. I absolutely cannot understand that. If I had 20/20 vision I could guaran-damn-tee you that I would no longer be wearing glasses. I think she might just need reading glasses, but she's too unreasonable to just buy some for less than $10 at the pharmacy. She'll insist on buying $200 Versace frames + $$ lenses. :/
to get me to pay for the procedure.
You really paid for her procedure? So it's not a coincidence that she has had that procedure done shortly after you find a job?
She'll insist on buying $200 Versace frames + $$ lenses.
Well, she may buy those with her own money, right?
You really paid for her procedure?
Turned out to only be $260 which is less than a pair of prescription glasses. She didn't know that she needed it until about a month ago. I got rehired in February.
Well, she may buy those with her own money, right?
Correct. But she can only afford the $10 ones from the drug store. ;P
The really great thing about working steady is seeing my bank account grow. And starting next month, it should start growing much faster. :)
She didn't know that she needed it until about a month ago.
Are you sure about that? Did she start having eye problems only a month ago?
starting next month, it should start growing much faster.
You'll be getting more work?
You haven't secretly invested your money in a pyramid scheme, have you? :o ;P
Are you sure about that? Did she start having eye problems only a month ago?
She was having vision problems for a few months, she thought she just needed new glasses, but the optometrist diagnosed the problem & referred her to the other doc for the laser procedure about a month ago.
You'll be getting more work?
Yep. Big Boss said that we will be very busy for the next several months.

The weather permitting, I presume.
I read something the other day about red algae screwing up the environment in Florida or something. I think it was related to that lake Okeechobee you mentioned earlier? Did you hear anything about that?
Things are cooler over here now BTW. Back to bearable temperatures. Oh, I saw that movie Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets yesterday. I guess it's an okay film. The special effects sometimes reminded me of one of those Spykids movies though. I actually own the comicbook and the story is completely different in the movie. Not as good either but enough fun to keep watching.
The weather permitting, I presume.
We have plenty of indoor space for parties. ;)
I read something the other day about red algae screwing up the environment
Yeah, the news has been conflating 2 different problems. The green algae has been an issue up by the Port St Lucie area for a few years now. It's bright green, thick, gross, and gets all over everything, but I had heard from one report that it wasn't toxic. And yeah, they were saying it had something to do with them discharging water from Lake Okeechobee. A lot of people blame farm runoff for causing the problem, but I don't know if that's really the cause.
Then there was Red Tide in the same area that killed a lot of fish & sea creatures. A lot of people thought it was the green algae that killed the fish, but it was actually Red Tide. It really pisses me off when the news tries to hype stories and gets the facts all screwed up. Red tide has been reported in Florida since the 1800's. It's just part of the environment and can't be controlled & has nothing to do with farm runoff since it's been around before Florida was farmed.

Things are cooler over here now BTW. Back to bearable temperatures.
I wish that was the case here. :/
We have plenty of indoor space for parties.
I believe you but you still have to get there. Would you drive through a hurricane or a tropical storm?
I'm feeling really tired and sleepy. Maybe it's the change in temperature? I hope I haven't caught a cold...
Would you drive through a hurricane or a tropical storm?
No, but those don't last long, only a day or two.
I hope I haven't caught a cold...
I hope you haven't, too.
I slept weird last night and got a kink in my neck. It hurts like a bastard ATM. :/
And if QoH would ever dislodge herself from the kitchen, I'd like to get in there and make some Buddha's Delight with the bok choy that I bought.
So QoH attacked me again about 45 minutes ago (4:45pm Aug 12, 2018). I was in the kitchen cooking the Buddha's Delight when she started with her verbal abuse and false accusations. I went upstairs to my room to get my phone so I could record what she was saying. The last couple of days whenever I got my phone out to record her it made her stop. Except this time just before I got back to the kitchen she was waiting. Instead of saying anything she just got the crazy eyes that were glinting with sick pleasure and she was holding her hands up and making a motion like she was going to strangle me. I told her not to touch me so she put her hands around my throat and started strangling me. I immediately got her hands off my throat and put her in a head lock. She started screaming for the benefit of the recording that I was "breaking her neck" then she grabbed me by the skin on my waist and started scratching and pinching like she always does. I had to break my hold to try to shove her off of me which I did. I went into the kitchen to shut off the stove so my food wouldn't burn up. She followed me in there and picked up a knife and started waving it at me like she was going to cut me. I repeatedly told her to put the knife down which she then started telling me to put my knife down. I wasn't holding a knife, I had a silicone spatula, she was lying because she knew that I was recording it. I somehow managed to get past her and go to my room. She was threatening to call the police & I reminded her that for domestic violence they take both people to jail. So then she called her nephew and started lying to him & playing the victim and told him that I attacked her and that I'm a dyke. :facepalm:
It hurts like a bastard
I know what that's like. Which part of your neck hurts?
picked up a knife and started waving it at me like she was going to cut me.
Holy shit! WTF!!! :O
So then she called her nephew
Why her nephew?
Are you okay? What's going on at the moment?
I know what that's like. Which part of your neck hurts?
More towards the right side where my neck and shoulder meets.
Why her nephew?
Because he's the only one stupid enough to answer the phone when she calls and believes all her bs without questioning her. Also he fixes houses so I believe she's trying to manipulate him into coming down here and fixing stuff for free. She's obviously desperate because he's a drug addict and unreliable. The last time he was here to fix something over 10 years ago, she paid him half and he took the money & bought drugs and never came back to finish.
Are you okay? What's going on at the moment?
I'm fine except for the spot on my side where she pinched me. It kinda looks like an Indian burn. It hurts like a bruise. I also discovered a bruise on the back of my left arm close to my armpit. I don't know if I got that during the altercation.
It felt good putting her in the headlock. Actually it was more of a Bulldog Choke the way I was holding it. I was trying to choke her unconscious before she started pinching and scratching. The next time I'm going to pinch her back to see how she likes it. Since she's afraid of getting taken to jail, I know she won't call the cops.
She has been somewhat less bitchy yesterday and today. She still has her moments with the false accusations bs. I've been telling her off when she starts with that.
Anyway, R told me that they pay well at the hockey arena and that I should apply. I just might do that. :)
because he's a drug addict and unreliable
Do a lot of people in your family have substance abuse problems?
I was trying to choke her unconscious
Maybe not the safest tactic. You don't know for sure what she can handle physically. She's old.
Any idea what set her off?
they pay well at the hockey arena and that I should apply. I just might do that.
I hope you do. Good luck. :)
Do a lot of people in your family have substance abuse problems?
Only people related to QoH's first husband's family. And QoH's father was allegedly an alcoholic, but he died before I was born so I never knew him. No one on my dad's side that I know of, but QoH made it a point to not associate with my dad's family. The last time I saw any of them I was maybe 5 or 6 y/o. They are all strangers to me.
The "nephew" in question technically isn't blood related, even to 1st husband's family. He's the son of QoH's first husband's sister's first husband. All those people are fucked up, and anyone related to them are fucked up. A bunch of sociopaths & psychopaths & druggies. After I was grown and could see the situation through adult eyes, it always puzzled me WTF she would want to have anything to do with those people. :/
Maybe not the safest tactic.
I don't care. She needs to learn to keep her hands off me.
Any idea what set her off?
Maybe she didn't want me recording her, or maybe she was trying to frame me and get it on tape. She's very devious. Like telling me to put down my knife when I didn't have one. I only had a silicone spatula. That proves to me that she's bordering on being a psychopath with that level of deviousness.
I hope you do. Good luck. :)
Thanks! :)
it always puzzled me WTF she would want to have anything to do with those people.
I expect that they're easily manipulable. And easy to feel superior to.
She needs to learn to keep her hands off me.
Maybe consider a wrist lock next time? I just don't want to see you in trouble for accidentally damaging her.
maybe she was trying to frame me and get it on tape
Yeah, I was wondering about that. When you said her eyes were "glinting with sick pleasure" I thought maybe she's was setting you up for something.
she's bordering on being a psychopath with that level of deviousness.
But what could possibly be her endgame? To replace you with the nephew?
I expect that they're easily manipulable. And easy to feel superior to.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Give the man a prize! Same reason she married paternal unit. She always bitched about him because he was unambitious and not wealthy and high status, but she would feel inferior to someone who actually was successful. And likely wouldn't be able to manipulate a successful person, and a successful person likely wouldn't want anything to do with her.
But what could possibly be her endgame?
I think she has become addicted to being abusive to me. It's like she gets a high from it. It's the same type of thing with bullies, makes them feel powerful when they're verbally abusing their victims. Also I don't know if she's trying to force me to leave, then she can act all abused for maximum manipulation points.
To replace you with the nephew?
I actually don't understand her reasoning or lack thereof. She's stated before that she doesn't want him here because he does drugs and she's afraid he'd break in and steal all her stuff so he can pawn it for drug money, but the way she's buddying up to him, it looks to me like she's trying to manipulate him into coming here to fix stuff for her. PD people are so illogical and irrational. Always wanting two opposite things simultaneously. :/
Anyhoo, Bitchy texted me a while ago and wanted to know if I can come in tomorrow for a breakfast. I said yes, of course, because at least I can get away from QoH for a few hours and make a few $ in the process. :)
if I can come in tomorrow for a breakfast
So what kind of wild party will you be going to this time? :)
PS. Breakfast parties are a thing, right? ;P
No wild parties, just a meeting with continental breakfast & coffee. Broward County muckety-mucks.
Afterward, I had to rush home to go with QoH to take her truck to the AC guy to get a refill. It wasn't blowing very cold. Afterward there was grocery shopping. And while I was still out, I got a text from Bitchy asking if I could come in at 6:30am Friday for another breakfast meeting.
I'm finished with that, now I have to go back out to finish the grocery shopping that didn't get finished yesterday. :/
now I have to go back out to finish the grocery shopping that didn't get finished yesterday.
At least you'll have something to eat in the weekend. :)
You seem terribly busy lately. Do you still get to do any fun stuff?
You seem terribly busy lately. Do you still get to do any fun stuff?
Not really. Work is as fun as it gets. Speaking of, it seems I've gotten another admirer--I think she's the CEO's assistant, but I could be wrong about that. I know she works up on the third floor (executive offices). The first time I met her was yesterday when I had to do the breakfast for the board members in the conference room. She liked the way I took special care & did things professionally. Then today when she came in to work I just happened to be down by the security desk when she came in and I said hello. She perked up, came and rubbed my arm and told me that I was fabulous. :O I told Roxy via text and she said that should translate into a raise. ;P
Then we semi-conspired about getting peeps to write good reviews about me and suggest that I should be paid more. ;P ;D
Anyway, Roxy is working the Def Leppard/Journey concert tonight @ the hockey arena. I'm a bit jealous because Def Leppard was one of my favorite bands back in the day.
At least I'm off tomorrow. I'm exhausted since I had to be up at 5am, didn't sleep well, and had to go out shopping again with QoH for like 4 hours. Plus, Ma Nature has arrived to add insult to injury. :/
Oh! Forgot to say: Roxy cracks me up, when I told her that it seems like everyone wants to rub my arms now, she said show me the guns! I texted her a pic of me flexing my arm (I was wearing a tank top) and she said, and I quote, "Damn girl!!! WTF you lifting, mom's truck???" LMAO IDK, they don't look that big to me. ;P
She perked up, came and rubbed my arm and told me that I was fabulous. :O
The :O would have been my reaction as well. Were you a bit freaked out or did you just take it as a compliment?
Roxy is working the Def Leppard/Journey concert tonight @ the hockey arena.
What kind of catering work is that? I don't think I've ever seen caterers at concerts.
they don't look that big to me.
Honestly, I'm surprised this is the first time I hear about someone from your work saying something about your toned physique. :)
Were you a bit freaked out or did you just take it as a compliment?
Initially I was surprised, but she seems kinda quirky, so that's probably just the way she is. I took it as a compliment.
What kind of catering work is that? I don't think I've ever seen caterers at concerts.
She's a bartender.
Honestly, I'm surprised this is the first time I hear about someone from your work saying something about your toned physique. :)
Well, C told me that I was really toned about a week ago, but I don't think I mentioned it on here. ;)
It is still blazing hot here. Have you gotten any relief over there?
Tomorrow I have to work a gig for Indian peeps. Dot not feather. ;P
Have you gotten any relief over there?
Sure, it's a lot less warm. It's even cool in the morning. I actually had to wear a jacket when I went for a walk. I really hope it stays this way for a while.
Indian peeps. Dot not feather.
Lots of hot food then, I guess. Could be vegetarian. Is it for a wedding?
I'm surprised by how much work your company gets BTW.
Sure, it's a lot less warm.
That good!
Unfortunately this morning the central AC decided to stop blowing cold air. It was freezing cold last night, so much so that I had to put on a sweat shirt. This morning when I got up for work, it felt a little warm to me so I lowered the thermostat a little. It still didn't feel like it was getting any colder. I told QoH before I left that it seemed like it wasn't working right.
So a couple hours later she called me at work complaining that it was hot & that she couldn't find the AC repairman's phone number because I "had the file cabinet blocked with 3 plastic containers of my stuff and she couldn't get into it". Total lie. It was blocked by several giant packages of toilet paper because she's a hoarder. Anyway, the # wasn't in there. I looked when I got home, but it turned out to be in her rolodex that she had wrapped in a plastic bag on her desk since the hurricane last year, the same one she accused me of throwing away. Funny how I had no problem finding it on her desk right where she put it, but she couldn't manage to find it all day & had to wait until I got home. Maybe if she'd stop hating me and blaming me for everything wrong, she might be able to think straight and be able to find something on her own desk. :/
Anyway, the AC guy is supposed to be coming out tonight to fix it. Hopefully it just needs a refill of coolant. Edit: It's fixed! Broken capacitor. $150, but he had it fixed in 30 minutes and he came out right away. Well worth it.
And the Indian party today was pretty good. The food vendors let us eat and take food home. :)
Oh! And Roxy sprayed the ends of my hair with silver spray. It would look really good if she had time to do it right. ;D
Lots of hot food then, I guess. Could be vegetarian. Is it for a wedding?
Yes, some of it was very spicy. Some of it was vegetarian, but they also had chicken dishes. It was for Indian Independence Day.
I'm surprised by how much work your company gets BTW.
Since it's a theater, is County owned, and we get lots of school kids for dance classes, there's stuff year round. We get meetings for government officials, theater related parties, weddings, bar mitzvas, birthday parties, all sorts of stuff. I'm glad it's busy. More $$$ for me. :)
Forgot to mention: I'm glad the food wasn't any spicier than it was or I'd be shitting fireballs! D: and secondly, QoH has been trying to blame me for what she perceives as damage to the outside part of the central AC. It's 15 years old, and stuff that's been outside in the elements for that long tends to start looking shabby. QoH accuses me of "cutting off" the insulation from the refrigeration tubing. When the repairman was out yesterday, she started with her bs "look at what Xul did". The guy just gave her a look like she was an idiot, then gave me the 'let me handle it' look and explained to her that it's all old and isn't going to look like it did when it was new, and that the one piece of tubing without insulation is the hot line and isn't supposed to have insulation on it because it has to be exposed for evaporation, and the way you see everything now is the way it was installed. Of course QoH didn't want to believe any of it. Lol too bad bitch! :)
Roxy sprayed the ends of my hair with silver spray.
Is that what you younguns are doing these days? ;P
I'm glad the food wasn't any spicier than it was or I'd be shitting fireballs!
Ah, you got a bit of a taste then?
Is that what you younguns are doing these days? ;P
I had told Roxy that I liked the color that Ryan Ashley from Ink Master has her hair colored. So Roxy has been trying to get me to do mine like that. I'd totally do it if I didn't have to listen to grief from QoH about it. So Roxy bought a spray can of temporary silver hair color and did the ends. It would look really good if she had the time to do it right. I liked the effect. Looks kinda like a silver fox. ;D I'm kinda shocked that QoH didn't notice or say anything. :O
Ah, you got a bit of a taste then?
More than that. They invited us to eat and gave us some big portions. Then they let us take some home. I wish I had taken more of the chicken tikka masala because it was freakin' delicious. I also had rice, naan bread, tandoori chicken, some lentil thingy, pav bhaji, and samosas And aloo tikkas. :) it came from a place called Taste of India and it was all delicious. :)
Looks kinda like a silver fox.
Don't you mean silver vixen?
Also, silver is pretty close to your natural hair color, isn't it? :)
and it was all delicious.
I envy you sometimes. ;)
(Not that the food that my father makes is bad, it's just not very well-spiced)
Don't you mean silver vixen?
I suppose, ya nitpicker! ;P
Also, silver is pretty close to your natural hair color, isn't it? :)
Not metallic silver! That would be super awesome if my hair grew out metallic silver. But alas, almost half of it comes out white. D:
I envy you sometimes. ;)
;D
(Not that the food that my father makes is bad, it's just not very well-spiced)
Yeah, I recall you saying that they tend to like things bland. :/
Well today at work was just a continental breakfast for the teachers' orientation. Then I had to bring them cookies and brownies for their snack around noon. S and I were scheduled to come in an hour early to set up, but when I got there, the peeps from production had everything set except for the one table that the food & coffee was to go on. And afterward, Alex said we could break it all down, but when we went back upstairs to do it, the same little elves already had everything cleared away. D: They were so damn quick that we never saw who did it.
Anyhoo, the other handsy lady is having a lunch on Thursday, so Alex asked if S & I could come in tomorrow to set up for it and another thing on Thursday. I said yes, of course, because I like making easy moolah. Actually got 2 additional days this week that I wasn't originally scheduled for. :)
They were so damn quick that we never saw who did it.
But why? Didn't they know you were there to do it?
the other handsy lady
The other one? There are 2 handsy ladies now?
But why? Didn't they know you were there to do it?
I guess not. It was probably someone from production who did it. There tends to be a lack of communication between departments.
The other one? There are 2 handsy ladies now?
Yeah, the first one was the client from the birthday party. The second one is someone who works in the executive office. Both are very nice, just handsy.
Well, I only got 4 hours today. I was hoping for 5, but Alex sent me home after we finished setting up, and we were working snail speed just to get 4. :/
Hopefully I get the full 7 hours tomorrow.
the first one was the client from the birthday party.
Oh, okay. Didn't know you meant her.
I only got 4 hours today. I was hoping for 5,
So how did you spend your free time? You had some fun hopefully? I'm honestly having some trouble finding fun things to do. No new movies in the library that I like. No interesting comicbooks. Nothing on TV, as usual. Nothing to do outside. Not much going on inside.
So how did you spend your free time?
Trying to rest and watch some TV, but QoH was annoying me. :/
You had some fun hopefully?
The most fun I have is when I text Roxy throughout the day. Tuesday after I left there were shenanigans at work. Roxy and I were doing some sleuthing, but people were being shady and not saying what was going on. I finally got the scoop from Jess in production. Apparently they were filming for a movie in front of our building and they let the peeps from the film crew use one of our rooms for dinner. Jess said they were filming until 4am, she said she left at 3am. I don't know why everyone was being so secretive about that.
I'm honestly having some trouble finding fun things to do.
Maybe you could invade Belgium and take their chocolates? ;P or send me their Trappist Ale? ;D
Apparently they were filming for a movie in front of our building
Any idea which movie?
I don't know why everyone was being so secretive about that.
Maybe a famous director wanted some privacy while eating? Just a guess of course.
or send me their Trappist Ale?
Some of those Trappist beers are pretty strong. Are you sure you can handle that? :)
Any idea which movie?
Nope.
Maybe a famous director wanted some privacy while eating?
Who knows? We have famous people there all the time, it's not like they would get pestered by any of our staff.
Some of those Trappist beers are pretty strong. Are you sure you can handle that? :)
I could use something strong ATM, QoH is back to bitch mode today. :/
I've had Chimay before. It was really good. :) I wouldn't mind sampling some others. ;D
I've had Chimay before.
I've never heard of Chimay. My parents mostly drank Triples when they were still drinking. I still can't stand the taste of beer.
I wouldn't mind sampling some others.
Sorry, I don't think I can send you any.
I watched couple of movies today from the library. Apparently they restocked recently. Most of them weren't very good though. But any distraction is better than nothing.
Yeah, I can't think of any movies out that I want to see. :/
Anyway, I worked 11 hours today. My feet & back are killing me ATM, mainly my feet. I'm trying to relax and watch some MMA and enjoy a tall cold beer. :)
I worked 11 hours today.
I'm sure you're fine with that but that should not be legal IMHO.
My feet & back are killing me ATM, mainly my feet.
I can imagine. I do hope you're free the next couple of days. Maybe taking steamy hot baths will help? :)
I'm sure you're fine with that but that should not be legal IMHO.
With all the pop-ups this week I managed to get 39 hours. :) 11 hour days are a bit much. I was super grouchy and salty by the end. Even Alex was annoying to me. If they would give me a raise I wouldn't be so grouchy.
 I do hope you're free the next couple of days. Maybe taking steamy hot baths will help? :)
I'm off for 3 days, thank God. I wish you lived closer, you could come and give me a massage. ;) Right now my calves & tendons by my ankles hurt. I still feel tired. :/
I'm sure besides a massage I could think of other things to do to keep you from being bored. ;P
I'm off for 3 days
Good. :)
Right now my calves & tendons by my ankles hurt.
You may want to watch out for things like tendinitis when do you work that requires you to repeat the same movement.
I'm sure besides a massage I could think of other things to do to keep you from being bored.
We could play some chess games, I guess. ;P
We could play some chess games, I guess. ;P
Or help me with the mowing. ;P
Speaking of, just finished the nabes' yard. They are up in Alachua for 3 weeks, so I'll get paid when they get back. They let it get ridiculously high, so it took me an hour and a half to just mow. Plus it's been raining a lot which makes the grass nice and juicy and it sticks to the underside of the mower and cakes up and interferes with the blade so I had to keep stopping to clean it out. :/
Then I ran out of gas because I was taking longer than usual. Normally it takes me about 45 minutes to 1 hour to do all of it.
Now QoH wants me to mow our yard. I'll have to do it later after I've rested some. :/
just finished the nabes' yard.
So you've already recuperated? That's remarkably quick. I get you like the money but do you really want to spend your day off working?
So you've already recuperated?
Not really. Was sore then, and still a bit sore today.
I get you like the money but do you really want to spend your day off working?
It had to be done and my only opportunity is on a day off.
Anyway, I'm off today and spent the majority of the day looking at henna tattoo design ideas, researching various herbs, and looking at Diana Bastet stuff. Not only is she an amazing bellydancer, but she also makes her own costumes, some of which she sells on Etsy. There's one in particular that I'd really like to buy. :) (Roxy kinda set this off by mentioning Fantasy Fest.)
Btw, it's nice having Roxy as a friend. She has some similar tastes as me when it comes to boots and leather stuff. It's nice to have a female friend to text with (not that Arekino-san isn't fabulous ;P). :)
OMG! I got a like and a comment from Tammy B herself after I left a comment on her fb yesterday!!! :D
researching various herbs
For cooking?
There's one in particular that I'd really like to buy.
You want to get into belly-dancing?
It's nice to have a female friend to text with
Hey, I'm glad you've got one more friend. Let's hope it's the beginning of a trend of you finding friends. :)
I got a like and a comment from Tammy B herself
Cool. :)
For cooking?
No, for Roxy. She wants to lose weight & has anxiety and insomnia. I wanted to help her out. I recommended Cleavers Herb tea. It's mainly for detoxing the kidneys, liver, and blood, but has side benefits of helping with weight loss and I found when I was using it that it relaxed me and made me sleepy if I drank it before bed.
You want to get into belly-dancing?
No, what I wanted would be good for cosplay or fantasy fest. :)
Let's hope it's the beginning of a trend of you finding friends. :)
Yep, I hope so. :)
Cool. :)
It would be cool if I could get her to follow me on instagram. :)
Speaking of cool, Big Boss called me into the office just before I left today and told me I'd be getting a $2/hour raise starting on my next paycheck. :)
And in not cool news, QoH went snooping in my bedroom while I was at work today and found my stash of tip money that I had hidden in a coat pocket in my closet. She took about $90. I haven't let on that I know what she did. I'll either find it in her bedroom or take it from money in the safe. She's really low. :/
Cleavers Herb tea.
Stickyweed? I didn't know you can make tea from that. It grows like a weed all over the place here. Apparently people used to stuff mattresses with it as well.
I'd be getting a $2/hour raise starting on my next paycheck.
Woooohooooo!! Well done. :)
found my stash of tip money that I had hidden in a coat pocket in my closet.
You need to buy a safe or something. What does she even do with the money?
Stickyweed?
Is that what you lot call it? Yeah, it's some common weed that's good for tea.
Woooohooooo!! Well done. :)
Thanks! Big boss had me sign the paperwork today, so it's all official. :)
You need to buy a safe or something. What does she even do with the money?
We have a safe. That's part of the reason I think she took it. She was accusing me of "stealing her money" out of the safe. I wasn't stealing anything. We've been using that money to buy groceries and pay taxes and whatnot while I wasn't working. I earned half of what was in there. It's not like I was just using it to buy things for myself.
I don't know what she did with it. She has it hidden somewhere in her bedroom which she suddenly since yesterday needs to be in all the time. She's obviously paranoid that I'm going to go searching in there. :/
Now she accused me of throwing away her muumuus and and putting holes in her underwear. She's crazy. I don't go in her room or touch her stuff. :/
We have a safe.
No no, *you* need to have a safe or something, not *we*. :)
Or, you know, a bank account of your own.
She's obviously paranoid that I'm going to go searching in there.
But you *are* going to search in there, right? :)
I don't go in her room or touch her stuff.
...except to get your money back. :)
At least she can't bother you much if she stays in her bedroom.
No no, *you* need to have a safe or something, not *we*. :)
There's a small one still in its box stored in the spare bedroom. I think I'll start using that. I'll just hide it in the basement somewhere she can't find it, she can't get down the stairs anyway, so double protection. ;P
But you *are* going to search in there, right? :)
Yes, eventually. When she lets her guard down.
In other news, old boss told me today that the CEO's assistant (the handsy lady) was very complimentary of me yesterday. I helped her rearrange one of the rooms where they were having a meeting, took away a couple tables & brought her a smaller size one that she wanted. Also made sure they got China & glassware. It's good to get recognition from the people upstairs who run the place. Hopefully it might mean more $ and maybe a full-time position with benefits in the future. :)
And since I wrote this ^ before the real fun started...;P
Alex had asked me to stay for a going away party that the upstairs peeps were throwing for someone from marketing. Of course Handsy was one of the guests. By this time, Alex & I were the only ones who stayed late to work the party--we had to set out food & bar tend. As soon as Handsy came in and saw me she gave me the tightest bear hug & told Alex how wonderful I was. :D
We also got to have a beer, so that was nice, too. ;P
And earlier, I was sitting in the office. One of the other managers was going through applications to hire some people for his department and complaining about how dumb all the applicants were. With a big grin on my face, I told Alex that they hit the jackpot when she hired me. She said, Yeah, you're a superstar. Lol I know, right? ;P ;D
Hopefully it might mean more $ and maybe a full-time position with benefits in the future.
Hopefully. :)
she gave me the tightest bear hug & told Alex how wonderful I was.
Wow. I guess some people are like that?
She said, Yeah, you're a superstar.
Well, it's a hard reputation to live to. :)
Wow. I guess some people are like that?
Yep, I think she's Italian. Some of them are very physically demonstrative with their affection. She's quite a character.
Well, it's a hard reputation to live to. :)
It's actually kinda astonishing how incompetent most people are these days. All I have to do is perform my job like a responsible adult and I look like something amazing. Not to take anything away from my awesomeness, because I totally am ;P...but it's a sad commentary on society.
All I have to do is perform my job like a responsible adult
I agree that you're fairly awesome but you've been doing this kind of job for a while now. You may have acquired a lot of experience points along the way. :)
it's a sad commentary on society.
Maybe society has become more difficult over time?
I agree that you're fairly awesome
What? Only *fairly* awesome? ;P
You may have acquired a lot of experience points along the way. :)
True. Plus I have a good work ethic. Roxy always tells me that I know more about catering than all of them.
Maybe society has become more difficult over time?
I think lowering standards and expectations in school hasn't helped either. :/
ATM, QoH is on the phone with someone. I took the opportunity to go search her usual hiding places in her room so I can recover the money that she stole. This has been my first chance because she's been guarding it like Smaug guarding his hoard of gold. I had to abandon the search because I thought I heard her hang up the phone. I really need her to go outside for an extended period of time to be able to search properly. The wood floors in there are just too creeky. :/
Plus I have a good work ethic.
I wonder where that comes from?
I really need her to go outside for an extended period of time to be able to search properly.
That may be difficult. She only goes outside to micromanage what you are doing, right? :)
I wonder where that comes from?
From going to a strict & demanding private school for 13 years and from QoH being a demanding perfectionist asshole. :/
She only goes outside to micromanage what you are doing, right? :)
Usually. Sometimes she goes outside to look at things and find stuff to blame on me.
In other news, we had a bit of Tropical Storm Gordon today. QoH being the nervous Nellie that she is, woke me up at 7am demanding that I put the hurricane panels up to the bathroom & kitchen windows (the 2 that don't have them on year-round). Completely unnecessary since there was hardly any wind, just a bit of rain. It's all passed now. All that for nothing. QoH also tried to find other things to get me to do, but she had to get nasty (her techniques of persuasion need a lot of work LOL) so I told her do it here fucking self and went back to bed, locking my door behind me. Of course QoH thought that pounding on my door would be just the thing to get me to do what she wanted, but unfortunately for her, it did not. I absolutely despise the vile bitch, and if I had anywhere to go I'd be out of here. :/
QoH also tried to find other things to get me to do
Like what? Just household stuff?
No tropical storms here. Just nice warm weather. A good time to take long walks. Not much other news here. We bought a new chair that I assembled for my parents. It's sort of an IKEA type of thing. Was kinda fun to do though. :)
Like what? Just household stuff?
She wanted me to move the 2 big planters with even bigger plants in them that are on the front porch because they tend to get blown over whenever there is any wind since they are top heavy. She also wanted me to drag a full garbage bin to the side of the house & lay the big garbage bin down on the ground. Apparently (and miraculously) she was able to do all that herself.
Glad you're having decent weather. It has rained practically all summer here. At least when the weather is like that it seems to keep the hurricanes away.
I rather enjoy putting furniture together too. I'm pretty good at it. :)
Apparently (and miraculously) she was able to do all that herself.
That does sound like a miracle. WTH? :)
I rather enjoy putting furniture together too.
We had to take the old chair apart as well. It's almost as much fun. ;)
That does sound like a miracle. WTH? :)
Yeah, sometimes her ailments & limitations go into spontaneous remission. Funny how that happens. ;P
Today at work we had a ninja show. They were from Japan. I got to see some of their rehearsal before I left. It was pretty cool. Choreographed weapons fight routines and such. And they were throwing shuriken at a target, too. :)
Btw, I spoke to the sound engineer and he said that the one ninja is going to be playing Bruce Lee in a movie, he got a pic with the guy with his shirt off and he was totally ripped! Kinda looked like Bruce, too.
Forgot to mention that they brought all their swords & weapons on a golf club bag. Kinda clever, no one would think it wasn't golf clubs. Lol
^ in a golf club bag, damn autocorrect
the one ninja is going to be playing Bruce Lee in a movie
A movie about Bruce Lee or a remake of one of Bruce Lee's movies?
no one would think it wasn't golf clubs.
Well, I guess, but they don't really need to hide their stuff, do they?
A movie about Bruce Lee or a remake of one of Bruce Lee's movies?
I think it's a movie about Bruce Lee.
Well, I guess, but they don't really need to hide their stuff, do they?
IDK, seems a good way to haul weapons incognito, but then again, they're ninjas and good at that sorta stuff. ;)
In other news, I'm having another very long day at work, gonna be close to 11 hours again. Then I have to be back at 6:30am. :/
Okay, so the CEO and the former mayor of Ft Lauderdale(who just shook my hand and introduced himself as Jack lol [I already recognized him]) were just now talking about the ninjas, apparently it was the new Japanese consul general who was bringing the ninjas around on tour, so that explains who the very serious & official looking people were. Lol
Btw, kd lang is performing tonight in the theater. Yesterday as I was leaving, I thought they were doing a sound check in there. When I poked inside, I realized that it was kd herself up on stage with all her backup singers. She still sounds amazing! Glad I got to see her. A couple people offered to get me comp tickets, but unfortunately I have QoH to deal with. She wants to go grocery shopping after I get out of work, so no concert for me. Just one more thing she can ruin for me. :/
so that explains who the very serious & official looking people were.
Hm, sounds like you were part of an important diplomatic mission. :)
Glad I got to see her.
Better than nothing, I suppose. Maybe one day you'll get to go to one of her concerts.
Just one more thing she can ruin for me.
Well, taking care of a sick family member usually demands some sacrifice. ;P
I had to go in today at 6:30am, worked 8 hours, QoH wanted me to get home asap so she could go grocery shopping and spend all my money. Took almost 4 hours. She didn't give a shit that I'm dog tired, my legs hurt, my back hurts. I'm so exhausted that I could cry. And the grand finale, she comes into my room demanding to see the receipts, goes over them inspecting/scrutinizing every purchase, and throws a fit because I bought a cell phone case that was on clearance for $2.50 and $1 Lays potato chips. She got in my face, screaming, I shoved her off, she does her fake flop onto my bed, then slides to the floor. I dragged her by the wrist out of my room, went back in and locked the door. Now I'm stuck in here until God knows when. I'm so funding tired of this ridiculous bullshit. :/
I'm so funding tired of this ridiculous bullshit.
You're literally tired of funding it, I'm sure.
Now I'm stuck in here until God knows when.
Until she wants to eat, I'm guessing. Or can she miraculously make her own dinner now as well?
You're literally tired of funding it, I'm sure.
Autocorrect changed fucking to funding..I *am* literally funding. :/
Or can she miraculously make her own dinner now as well?
Yes, all sorts of miracles around here.
I'm really glad that the chef made me a grilled chicken sandwich with salad yesterday before I left work or I would have really been starving while being locked in my room. I was lucky enough to have brought up the last little bit of chopped liver that I bought from Penn Dutch and the loaf of challah bread to my room & had them hidden before the altercation happened. I ate that as a snack.
Hopefully it will be a while before she tries any more shenanigans. She got a big bruise on her arm and was complaining about her back. I doubt that she's learned her lesson, she's just not physically up to it ATM. I have no pity. I'm usually the one with the scratches & bruises. She's just getting a taste of her own medicine.
Well Roxy is working the drag queen show tonight. It's the Queens from RuPaul's Drag Race season 10. I hope she's making lots of tips. :)
She's just getting a taste of her own medicine.
Good. :)
It's the Queens from RuPaul's Drag Race season 10.
Not familiar with that. Is it about transvestites in fast cars?
Not familiar with that. Is it about transvestites in fast cars?
It's a show where drag queens compete to see who is the best one, they do skits, walk the runway in costumes, and do singing/lip syncing performances. Then they have judges who eliminate one each week.
In other news of the bad variety, the kitchen sink started leaking. One of the nuts holding the pipes together broke. It seemed like a simple repair & I went to Home Depot to buy replacement pipes, but when I got home & tried to fix it, the one sink strainer on the left side has threading that has something wrong with it and I couldn't get the new stuff connected. I had a new strainer already, but couldn't get the old one off. I had to go back to the store to buy a special plier to remove it. When I got home, the thing was on so damn tight it wouldn't budge. I gave up. I told QoH to call a plumber. I shudder to think how much that is going to cost. :/
the thing was on so damn tight it wouldn't budge.
Have you tried some WD-40? May get it loose. Or you could try heating it up so it will expand.
Have you tried some WD-40?
No I haven't. I might give that a try. It seems that QoH didn't call a plumber today. I guess she's waiting for me to do it. That's not going to happen until I get a day off. I might have to try fixing it myself again. At least that will be way cheaper than a plumber.
I guess she's waiting for me to do it.
I don't know about that. Miracles do happen. ;P
You know what? It's actually getting warmer again. In September. I mean, it can happen but it's darned unusual.
Are you preparing for Florence BTW?
Are you preparing for Florence BTW?
No, it's headed to North Carolina, not here.
You're having odd weather? Is it unusual for it to fluctuate back to warm? I know Her Stoatliness mentioned that the weather was unreasonable on her side of the channel, but that's England and it's always kinda cold there, so warm this late is kinda unusual.
Well my direct deposit from work should be pretty good this week as it's the first check with my pay increase. :)
You're having odd weather?
Kinda. It's been raining a bit yesterday and today. Not a lot, didn't stop me from taking a nice walk.
that's England and it's always kinda cold there
Well, not literally always. Summers can be quite warm there, enough to cause a water shortage.
my direct deposit from work should be pretty good
With a direct deposit the money is put into your bank account, right? Is that the account you share with QoH?
Is that the account you share with QoH?
Unfortunately yes. :/
In other news, tonight at work we have the Hooters calendar reveal. Should be lots of scantily clad young ladies with their books hanging out. D:
Boobs, not books. Won't be a book in sight tonight! Lol
I managed to make $21 tips and got some swag: a Hooters 2019 Calendar, a tank top that says "2019 Hooters Calendar Girl", and a Bud Light coozie. :) and the tank actually fits me, although it's skin tight. Lol I can safely say that this 42 year old is in better shape than most of those Hooters girls half my age. ;D
And Roxy got me a poster from the Drag Queen show, so QoH ought to like that! Lol
tonight at work we have the Hooters calendar reveal.
What? Why?
a Hooters 2019 Calendar
I guess a calendar can be useful.
a tank top that says "2019 Hooters Calendar Girl"
At what sort of occasion would one wear such a tank top?
although it's skin tight.
Well, it's not like it gets cold much in Florida. ;P
so QoH ought to like that!
Maybe you should hang it up on a wall in your bedroom just to piss her off? ;P
What? Why?
Ya know Hooters? The sports bar/restaurant chain famous for the pretty scantily clad waitresses? They decided to have their party at our venue, that's why! Lol
At what sort of occasion would one wear such a tank top?
Maybe grocery shopping? I'm sure someone would actually think I'm one of the calendar girls. Lol
Maybe you should hang it up on a wall in your bedroom just to piss her off? ;P
I can put it next to the poster of the drag queens! Lol
In other news, the plumber came out and fixed the pipes. Cost $150 but I don't care, worth it to me that it's done right & QoH can't bitch at me.
Also while I was at work I got a call from QoH, she fell down outside & busted her face open above her eye and scraped up her elbow. I told her to call 911, what am I supposed to do, leave work and lose money? She was pissed, but actually called 911. The emt's wanted to take her to the hospital for stitches, but she didn't want to go in ambulance because they charge too much money & insurance won't pay for non emergency. I told her to call neighbor, maybe she could take her. Nabe wasn't home. The emt's called her a taxi, but she refused that too. When I got home from work, she seemed fine, wasn't bleeding, but could probably use a couple stitches & a tetanus shot. I'll take her to urgent care tomorrow. :/
a tetanus shot
Is that standard procedure in the USA? I've had lots of cuts and scratches without ever getting tetanus shot. Then again, there's not a lot of tetanus going around over here these days.
What was she doing outside anyway?
Is that standard procedure in the USA? I've had lots of cuts and scratches without ever getting tetanus shot. Then again, there's not a lot of tetanus going around over here these days.
For some reason Dr's are always pushing tetanus shots over here. I think the last time I had one was back in high school when we were required to get that and some other vaccinations by the government. :/ I've gotten lots of cuts since then and have never gotten tetanus.
hat was she doing outside anyway?
She was outside messing with the bin of stuff I had set out there which was originally under the sink. I put it outside so it would be out of the way of the plumber. I had to go to work before he left. She's always messing with shit she has no business messing with. She's always tripping over something, and it has nothing to do with being old. She has a long history of not paying attention to where she's walking and tripping.
I didn't take her for stitches. She decided that she didn't want to go. Fine by me. One less thing I have to do.
One less thing I have to do.
And what will you do instead? During the weekend, I mean? Got any plans?
The library has had season 1 of Westworld. I'll be watching that this weekend. :)
And what will you do instead? During the weekend, I mean? Got any plans?
I've been doing a lot of texting with Roxy. She's turning out to be a good friend. I'm glad I'm getting to know her better. :)
She would like for me to go do stuff with her, she knows the situation with QoH and is a lot more understanding than other people have been. She's in a similar situation with living with her elderly parents, but not as bad as my situation. She'd like to go bike riding, or go to the gun range, or even hockey. She said her brother has season tickets in the club section & could get some that he's not using. I'd really love to go do stuff with her, but I know that QoH will flip out. I guess I'll have a flip out to deal with in the future. ;P
Anyway, she's really funny in an outrageous & quirky way. She was all antsy because she wanted to get her regular waxing, but it had been a while & was anxious to get it done. Finally did it last night, so i got commentary afterwards. Lol
Like she said, she gets "nose to toes" done. D: I'm not opposed in theory to that, I'd love to be smooth & hairless, I'm just too self conscious to let another person do that to me.
The library has had season 1 of Westworld. I'll be watching that this weekend. :)
I got to see that when there was a free preview. I liked it. :)
Jeez, Roxy wants to take me to Las Vegas now. I don't even know how to react to that. :O
I guess I'll have a flip out to deal with in the future.
I think it's inevitable if you want to have a life. :)
I'm just too self conscious to let another person do that to me.
Not to mention that it's not entirely painless. ;P
Roxy wants to take me to Las Vegas now.
For gambling? Is Roxy a risk taker?
I don't even know how to react to that.
Is this something you yourself would do? Go to Vegas, I mean?
Also, is this not a trip that would take a couple days?
How serious is she about this trip anyway? Would she take more friends with her?
Not to mention that it's not entirely painless. ;P
I've had Trichotillomania when I was a kid, so pulling hair out gives me a bit of a high and isn't very painful to me. If I ever started doing waxing I might get obsessed with it like Roxy seems to be.
For gambling? Is Roxy a risk taker?
I guess she would want to gamble. She told me she likes to and gets comped for hotel rooms at the MGM. I worked with her for 11 years and never knew that about her until she told me the other night. I just thought she liked to do things that seemed kinda wild. I guess I'm finding out.
She actually wanted to bet me on whether or not Alex is pregnant, because she has been gaining weight in her stomach area. She kinda looks pregnant. Might be. I declined to make a bet because I know that Roxy would want me to do something crazy if I lost. I finally asked her what she would want me to do if I lost, she said take a pole dancing class with her. D: I'm waaaaaaaaaay too self conscious for that!!!
Is this something you yourself would do? Go to Vegas, I mean?
I've thought about it before, but more as it would be an interesting place to see just for the hell of it. I'm not a gambler, not really interested in the shows. I'd totally go to see MMA if there was a UFC event happening, though.
Also, is this not a trip that would take a couple days?
Yep.
How serious is she about this trip anyway? Would she take more friends with her?
I know that she has gone there a bunch of times, so it's not something unusual for her. I think she's serious. It would be just the 2 of us. She tends to dislike most people like I do and doesn't get close to many people.
Jeez, I can't even imagine. I'd probably just want to stay in the suite and watch TV and stuff myself at buffets if I was to go. She gets a freaking 2 bedroom suite! Comped! WTF? D:
I worked with her for 11 years
Is your relationship with her different now? Has Roxy changed? Are you different? Has she ever invited you to do stuff before?
Well, in the end it's your decision. Let me know what you decide. :)
Is your relationship with her different now?
Yes.
Has Roxy changed? Are you different?
Yes and yes. We've both had to deal with some shit in the past 10 years, so we've both definitely grown up a bit. I'm more confident and she's less dramatic. She was entertaining to me before, but too much of a drama queen for me to be friends with. That and QoH couldn't stand her. Now I don't give as much a shit about QoH's opinions.
Has she ever invited you to do stuff before?
No.
Well, in the end it's your decision. Let me know what you decide. :)
Lol, you make it sound like I'm breaking up with you. ;P
I doubt that I'll be hopping on a plane to Vegas anytime soon. I'll likely just go shopping or to a Panthers game with her. :)
you make it sound like I'm breaking up with you.
Not what I meant at all. I also didn't mean to sound dramatic, it's just that it seemed like a difficult question for you to answer.
I suppose it's unusual for you to have to manage multiple friendships though. :)
I'll likely just go shopping or to a Panthers game with her.
Sort of the baby-steps approach? (not trying to sound condescending BTW)
it's just that it seemed like a difficult question for you to answer.
Why is that? I wouldn't mind doing stuff with her, it's just that always having to deal with a blowup from QoH and all her bs any time I want to do something or have a friend is a discouraging factor. :/
I suppose it's unusual for you to have to manage multiple friendships though. :)
Ya know, I *have* had multiple friendships before, and I still keep in touch with a lot of people from school & work. It's just that almost everyone has moved away, so interacting with one in real life is a pleasant change.
Sort of the baby-steps approach? (not trying to sound condescending BTW)
Oh nooooooo, you don't sound condescending at allllllll. ;P
That's kinda how things work, natural progression and all that. It'd be nice to do stuff around here first before I start globetrotting. ;P
Why is that?
Because you said: "I don't even know how to react to that." Maybe I just misinterpreted that.
It'd be nice to do stuff around here first before I start globetrotting.
That's exactly what I meant to say. Nicely put. :)
Westworld was fun BTW. Bit of a mindfuck. Quite interesting.
Maybe I just misinterpreted that.
Yeah, I meant that it was a surprising thing to ask. I've never had anyone want or offer to take me on a trip like that. It's surprising, flattering, generous, and I'd like to say yes.
Westworld was fun BTW. Bit of a mindfuck. Quite interesting.
Yes it is. :)
In other news, my raise was not on my paycheck. I had to speak with the lady who does our payroll today (ex-boss) and she said she would look into it. She blamed it on Big Boss and someone upstairs who's supposed to take care of the paperwork. I told her I signed the paperwork last month. She said I'd get it retroactively whenever they all get their shit together. :/
Also nabes are back from vacation & called to ask me to mow their yard. I told them I likely wouldn't be able to do it until Saturday because of my work schedule.
my raise was not on my paycheck.
Hm, that's a little disappointing.
whenever they all get their shit together.
Are they reorganizing or something?
Hm, that's a little disappointing.
It's a lot disappointing. :/ and ex-boss even commented that I had a lot of hours for that pay period.
Are they reorganizing or something?
They're supposed to be getting a new time card system, I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Ex-boss blamed it on people not doing their paperwork.
Oh, almost forgot...today at work there was a food truck that pulled up in our driveway and was giving away free meat as a promo for their new meat market that they are opening somewhere around here. Everyone in the building got a package of pork chops. :)
And as I was going out to get mine, Handsy was just coming down the stairs from the executive office and gave me a big hug, called me "baby girl" lol, and we walked out together to get our free meat. :)
Now I have to come in tomorrow to work for her. She has a meeting in the conference room. The thing I was originally supposed to come in for was cancelled, so I'm glad I won't be missing out on a day's pay. :)
Ex-boss blamed it on people not doing their paperwork.
I guess you're lucky you got paid at all. ;P
called me "baby girl"
I know you still look young but that's ridiculous. :P
In other news, I had this dream this morning. I was player soccer and trying to score a goal. Unfortunately I tried to do the same in real life, while still asleep in my bed. So I ended up kicking the foot board at end of the bed. Hurt quite a lot that. Also, my big toe was bleeding and the nail had 2 white stripes across it from the strain of the impact. Was quite a bang. I'm okay now though.
Good luck in the conference room. :)
I guess you're lucky you got paid at all. ;P
Ex-boss does the payroll for our department. She puts in the hours that we work and all that.
I know you still look young but that's ridiculous. :P
I know. She's kooky but nice. I like her & we get on well.
So I ended up kicking the foot board at end of the bed.
D: Well that's not good. I think the only time my body did the action in my dream it woke me up. I imagine kicking the foot board of your bed woke you up too. I hope it doesn't hurt for long.
Good luck in the conference room. :)
It was easy. The only issue is there is an ant infestation in the cabinet in there. Lots of uninvited guests. The VP mentioned it to me after the meeting was over so I told my boss & she passed the info along to the maintenance department.
Forgot to mention that I made $30 in tips last night, $20 came from Roxy. And I worked 13.5 hours, so if they'd pay me my raise I'd make good $$$. :)
there is an ant infestation in the cabinet in there
What's in the cabinet that the ants want?
$20 came from Roxy.
How do you mean? Did she just give it to you?
so if they'd pay me my raise I'd make good $$$.
I have my fingers crossed and am standing by to hold my breath. ;)
But seriously, I hope they do pay you your raise soon.
BTW, your situation seems like 2000% better than it used to be. (I'm keeping track ;) )
What's in the cabinet that the ants want?
It seems like they've set up a headquarters in the moulding around the counter top so that they have easy access to all the food that gets set on the counter when people have meetings in there.
How do you mean? Did she just give it to you?
When we have parties that have a bar, we act as bar backs. We set up the liquor, glassware, sodas, juices, garnishes, etc before the bartenders arrive and make sure they don't run out of anything by restocking product. The bartenders are supposed to tip us a percentage of what they made in tips. Usually most of them are cheapskates and only give $5. Since Roxy is my friend and I take care of her better than other bar backs, she is more generous.
I have my fingers crossed and am standing by to hold my breath. ;)
Me too! ;P
BTW, your situation seems like 2000% better than it used to be. (I'm keeping track ;) )
It certainly is regarding work. QoH is much worse. :/
All she wants are slaves. She's abusive, entitled, & ungrateful, and a control freak.
She had the nerve to tell me today before I was going to mow the nabes' yard that I had to mow ours first or I would never be allowed to mow theirs again. Like I need her permission? I'm a grown ass woman. If I want to mow their yard I will bloody well do it!
After 5 hours of busting my ass in the hot sun today, QoH had the nerve to start her shit with me when I was hosing off the mower, accusing me of "removing 1 screw from the headlight of her truck" and of being an alcoholic and on drugs. I got tired of hearing her bs so I squirted her in the face, then she tried to wrestle the hose away (fail) then she goes in the house & locks me outside, put the chain on door. I told her she better open it, she wouldn't, so I yanked it as hard as I could and ripped that fucking chain right out of the wall! (Whoever installed that "security" chain only screwed it in to the trim moulding, so quite the false sense of security if my petite self was able to rip it out (well, I broke a piece of the moulding off too when it ripped out). She's really passed about that, but it's called consequences. That's what she gets for trying to play games. I was in no mood for it.
accusing me of "removing 1 screw from the headlight of her truck"
That's ridiculously specific. She must be under a lot of pressure to come up with stupid stuff like that.
then she goes in the house & locks me outside
More crazy stupidity.
ripped that fucking chain right out of the wall!
Are you going to repair it or leave it as it is?
That's what she gets for trying to play games.
Well, I guess she might have thought it was real. Hard to say if she's that delusional or not, at least from my location. If she was actually playing then I wonder if she'll ever figure out that what she is doing is futile.
That's ridiculously specific. She must be under a lot of pressure to come up with stupid stuff like that.
IDK what the problem is aside from her being delusional. Don't know if it's some sort of dementia or early Alsheimer's, or just her PD getting worse with age. It's really frustrating because her accusations are always something ridiculously specific like that. People who want to damage someone's property for spite usually do something big and obvious, not something so subtle & insignificant that most people wouldn't notice. She seems incapable of seeing reason, that things like that are part of normal wear & tear, not a deliberate action.
Are you going to repair it or leave it as it is?
I haven't decided yet. I'll likely fix the trim that's all broken. That looks terrible. If I reinstalled the security chain, I'd just be giving that back so she could do it again. It seems illogical for me to do that.
If she was actually playing then I wonder if she'll ever figure out that what she is doing is futile.
She used to do stupid crap like that to my dad. It's all so childish and I believe part of her PD. It's really exhausting to deal with that behavior from someone who is supposed to be an adult. It's a nightmare actually. :/
If I reinstalled the security chain, I'd just be giving that back so she could do it again.
I guess the lock will have to do then.
It's a nightmare actually.
At least it´s only temporary. :)
Big boss is back from his vacation to Greece and he told me that he took care of my raise situation. I hope they'll be paying me retroactively from last pay period.
Anyhoo, I'm very busy this week. I'll be working 6 days straight. Had to work until 9:45pm last night then be back here at 6:30am. Then alternating 8am & 6:30am the next couple of days. I think Saturday is gonna be a early afternoon in time, so that won't be too bad.
Next Wednesday we have a mandatory employee meeting in the evening. Roxy & I plan to go out afterward since QoH doesn't know how long the meeting is supposed to last. Well, I don't know either, but they're paying us for 4 hours, hopefully it will only be an hour or 2 and I can hang out with her for at least a couple hours. :)
Forgot to mention that I made $20 in tips last night. Roxy gave me $10 and so did the other guy. They must've done well on credit card sales because it didn't look like they made enough on cash tips to give me that much. :)

Wow, better make sure you get your vitamins.

Hey, you go girl! :)

Are you going to save that for Wednesday? :)

Maybe. ;P I asked her to buy me some pink camo pants with her Amazon account. They are $35 and I think that's as cheap as I can get them. I don't have an Amazon account and I don't want QoH snooping and finding out I bought something on my credit card because she opens my mail and looks at my bills when I'm at work. Also I don't want it delivered to my house and have her take it and pretend she doesn't know what happened to it. It's safer if Roxy does it. Then me and C came up with a story that someone gave the pink camo pants to her and she in turn gave them to me because she knows I like stuff like that. ;P
It's nice to have friends who are willing to help out. ;D
I'm not sure where Roxy & I are going to go to after the staff meeting. I guess it all depends on how late we get out. I'd like to go shopping but some stores close early at 9pm. :/
Roxy is nuts. She likes to talk to guys on some app. A couple of them sent dick pics. I just don't understand unsolicited dick pics. What do you think about that? And one of them was uncircumcised which she doesn't like because she's Jewish. Lol In fact, the foreskin was so tight that it looked like it was strangling the head! I hope you don't have that problem. ;P I'm sure you have a very nice willy. ;P ;D
Forgot to mention that she calls uncircumcised willies "anteaters" lol

And the more friends you have the more likely some of them will be able to help you when needed. :)

I guess that some guys have been led to believe that women like that kind of thing? There are lots of stupid myths that move from one generation to the next uncorrected. Dick pics seem a fairly recent phenomenon because of the rise of cell phones. Before, this kind of exhibitionism was mainly exhibited by creepy guys in trench coats. :o

I think that's called phimosis? And no, I don't suffer from that condition, thank goodness.

I can sorta see that. :P
I asked Roxy what she wanted to do Wednesday. It seems we're going to the Hustler store & we're going to take pics to send to you. I feel like a passenger in my own life. ;P
I've never been to one of those sorts of stores, so I guess it's going to be an adventure. ;P
Oh, today before I left, the chef told me that he made some little pizzas and he wanted me to try them and let him know what I thought. One was made with goat cheese and was delicious! I think you would have liked it. :)
It seems we're going to the Hustler store
That's a lingerie shop, right? Interesting choice. :)
we're going to take pics to send to you.
I"m okay with that. :)
Wait, do they allow people to take pics in those stores? Better be discreet.
I feel like a passenger in my own life.
In the sense that you don't feel completely in control?
I think you would have liked it.
Oh yeah, I love me some goat cheese. :)
