Ever have one of those days? Course you have.
Work schedule wasn't posted until today. Goes into effect tomorrow. Despite the fact that the handbook says it is supposed to be posted "Approximately one week before taking effect...". Don't know about you, but "approximately" is not the freakin day before. Assholes. To top it off, they told me last night that they would call if I had to work on Sunday. No such luck. Had to call in myself to get that info. Big Assholes. If that wasn't enough, they schedule me a noon to close shift. Despite the fact that a month ago, I was bitched at for not filling out the availability worksheet in a timely (2 days) manner, so I did, and pretty much gave them open availability with a few exceptions. No Thursday nights, no Fridays before 9am, and NO DAMN SUNDAYS PAST 5 PM!! So now I get to go in at noon, and tell them I'm leaving at 5. And I'm sure I'm gonna hear nothing but bitching about it.
To add to this wonderful experience, my wife and friend of mine made plans on Thursday night to hang out tonight, seeing as she only sees them at the bar. I break off plans for Saturday with some other people, since I want to hang out as well. Saturday morn...we get up, get the place clean, and run all our errands to be back here before 5pm, since the friends are supposed to be here or call by 6. Get a call around 7. They've got things to do, but will try and head over. At 11, wife decides to call it a night. She's passed out on the couch, I'm continuing to drink the wine and complain to a computer screen.
My life as of Midnight.
Lovely. |

| You Are Las Vegas | 
Wild and uninhibited, you enjoy all of life's vices.
You're a total hedonist, especially with sex, gambling, and drinking.
You shine brightly every night, but you do the ultimate walk of shame each morning.

RACCOON - your daemon may be a raccoon. You are a
trickster. Your daemon's nimble hand-like paws
can help in the creation of pranks. You may
prefer the cover of darkness to pull off your
stunts. You may be fascinated by gadgets, and
are probably good at figuring out how things
work. Independent and fun loving, you love to
get the best of someone. You have no
pretensions about yourself. Crafty and clever,
you can adapt to any situation and find a way
to make it work in your favour.

Whoa...for the good story, see elillyg's LJ entry for today. And that was just today.
Yesterday went well, good flight, good gifts, great food.
Then came the initiation.
Apparently, to be fully accepted into this family, I must learn to play pinochle. Pronounced Pea-knuckle.
A card game. Can't be too bad, can it?
WRONG
First off, I'm playing mostly with people who've been playing this for a minimum of 12 years. Then it's the "we'll play, you watch, and we'll explain". Yeah, right. Just like I can watch Eddie Van Halen play the solo to "Hot For Teacher" and then repeat it note for note. It was like I walked into the 3rd day of a Risk match and they tried to explain what was going on. I'm good, but NOT that good.
I'll have to go to Barnes and Noble and pick up a book...don't think I can avoid this much longer.
And this is what I'm marrying into? Good thing she's worth it.... |

Another wonderful All Hallow's Eve has come and gone. Spent with great friends, good times, and better alcohol.
And Drama.
Don't get me wrong, Drama is a wonderful thing. It makes me feel alive, and part of everything around. Sometimes, just too much of it hits at once, and you/I are pulled every which way to be included.
I bring it on myself. I'm the type of person, who, when surrounded by a group of friends, tries to give as much as possible to spend some quality time with all of them. I fully understand and believe the concept that you can't please all the people all the time, but I try anyway. But inevitably, someone feels slighted for me spending time with others. It's just the way of things, and I accept it.
The new year celebration started last Thursday, with the karaoke, or Scaraoke, since several of the patrons were in costume. Got nice and toasted, showed my ass a few times (was wearing a kilt...properly, of course), and won $10 for it. I guess that kinda makes me a whore...lol. Watched a great friend successfully propose to another great friend. Yay.
The second and most massive celebration was the Halloween Party. Got there around noon, helped set up, and was drinking by 6. So I was feeling REALLY good by 10 or so. Just a clarification...when I move away from the groups and sit down someplace quiet with my head down, I am okay. Just feeling a lot of booze. Thanks to those who know, and for the one who didn't, who sat quietly with me and kept me company. And for the water.
That done, the final was the actual Hallow's Eve. Go and give candy to the little and not so little ones. Chuckle at the costumes, and remember when we were that age. Then proceed to catch up on things with people who live far away, and decide to hang out again soon. Just a quiet evening. A wonderful finish.
This means that Turkey Day is 23 days away. Good illuminati number. I now have BIG things to think about and take care of. Time is passing. Quite rapidly. It is good, but it also makes me wonder what I've really been doing for the last few months.
Oh, well. The Death Cycle is officially on us, however, I believe my personal rebirth will be slightly before that wonderful holiday with all the fertility symbols that's dedicated now to someone else.
More to follow...

"This job would be so much better if it weren't for the customers." - Randall, Clerks
Truer words may never have been spoken. Especially about retail.
It's always fun when someone comes to you and thinks they know more than you. It's entirely possible that they may have done their research and do, but more often they have a few tidbits and that makes them an expert. Knowledge may be power, but not a few facts. Example...customer walks up, asks where the California King sheet sets are. I take her over to what few we have in store. She wrinkles her nose and says, "no, where are the good sets?" I then ask what brand she's after, she tells me, I take her to those sheets. I then explain that they do have that size for that brand, but it's only available through the website. She gives me a dirty look and says that the sign clearly states a California king set is available, the price, and she wants it now. I show her the nice little asterisk by the price and point to the message at the bottom of the sign that states "Size available Online only". She reads, ignores, and asks to talk to someone who has been working there longer than a week to help her. I laugh and say, "Sure. Here's the bedding manager. She's been at this location for about a year, and with the company for about 3 years. Which, I'm sorry to say, is about a year and a half less than I have been. She'll tell you the same thing. Have a nice day."
That's typical.
But for some unknown reason, I like retail. I'm good at it, and can handle most of the stupidity. It's not like I want to do this for the rest of my life, but it works for now. |

My stars...it's a weekday and I'm off work. Whatever to do with myself, other than recover from last weeks fun times.
Between the 60+ hours of working, 5 hours of karaoke, a concert, brunch, and umpteen hours of drinking through most of that (not work, although I was tempted...) I believe that this is well deserved.
Unfortunately, it's one of those things that I know I have crapload to do, but not sure where I want to start or even if I do. Eh, figure I'll start getting all my Halloween stuff out, which will empty a closet, which means I'll fill it with something else after rearranging...etc.
Sometimes I curse what intellegence I have. I feel if I had less, I'd be sooo much further ahead with a career. It's amazing how much the Peter Principle is applied at my job. I'd get written up for trying to evesdrop while my mangager keeps his position even though he does nothing and he's at my store because he was screwing one of the employees at his old one. Shifting the problem is not the solution, but I guess it's easier to do for the Uppers. That way they don't have to find an overqualified person who thinks too much to take the place of their trained monkey.
Already looking forward to the end of the week...singing, drinking, and general socializing. Should be nice. |

Was feeling better. Until earlier this evening.
I know I can't give what I need. But I don't need that flaunted in my face. I also don't need anger/jealousy/contempt from one whom I thought cared for me. I put myself in this situation, I know this and acknowledge it. But things still hurt. Sometimes. A lot.
What am I doing with my life? Happiness is what I've had. I still have it. Or do I? Why do I seem to find it elsewhere? The grass is greener, etc.
Bullshit.
Can you have more than one soulmate? Is this possible? And if so, how do you balance your sanity dealing with it?
If I find out, I'll let you know... |

Wow...forgot all about this. Wasn't sure it'd still be here. Been almost 3 years. All old friends are gone, got new ones here. That's nice.
Been feeling down lately. Ever had the feeling that something's not right in your world, but can't put a finger on what it is? The feeling that makes you want to call the people you know to make sure they're okay? That's kinda what it's like.
And honestly, I have no right to complain. Been having a great time with work and social lives. Too early to have a midlife crisis (no age jokes, please). Just not sure what's going on. |

La de dah...back in Greenville...still haven't gotten the last reference back from NCSU. Started to get mean with them this week...they have to realize that this is holding me up. And I've gotta get this job.
Been having a good time in Raleigh when I'm there...good to see so many people, and have them actually remember who the hell I am. Some I can deal with in smaller doses (or at least not at the clubs). Eh...gotta take the undesirable with the desirable. Should be back in town over this Monday...see you all then. |

You know, it's really hard to type with 2 cats in your lap...course, I'll blame any errors on them ;)
Actually have a day off where I'm not travelling. It's weird. I think I can actually clean my room. It's been neglected for a couple of weeks. If I get the rest of my recommendations in the mail, I can send off my application to further solidify my new job. Since it's still not in stone, crossed fingers and wishes are still accepted.
Still confused (see last entry), but feeling better. Two days of work and I'm back in Raleigh. Who knows where I'll show up.... |
