2006 Bitch List!!

noreply@blogger.com (TrashCanDan) — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 23:44:00 +0000

I got tagged by Hayes to compile my top 10 annoyances of 2006.

10. The word Mocha. It should be pronounced "Mow-cha" in my opinon. This also applies to Chorus and Leprechaun.

9. The fact that we don't have a universal healthcare system in place here in America.

8. That Howard doesn't have time to give blogging lessons. I guess I will have to get off my ass and go buy Blogging For Dummies.

7. Hayes' bed. After two and a half years it still attacks my poor shins from time to time.

6. Wind

5. People who accuse me of crushing their crackers

4. The RTD Strike!

3. That little Bitch Alexis whose name I had to scrub off many a wall in April.

2. That I can't make a living painting monsters in childrens closets.

1. The heat wave

I tag nobody because the two people who read this blog have already done it.

Lookie what I did today!

The busses are on a Sunday Schedule tomorrow. That means the bus drops me off about 4 miles from work. SUMBITCH!!!

I'm glad I had the day off from work. It is possible that I might tomorrow as well. As of now RTD has suspended all service and is unsure of what time buses will resume. No Busses = I can't make it work! I've been inside all day and playing video games. If I don't have to work tomorrow, Snowmen will be made.

WOO!!

Today I got to work an extra 2 hours. Hooray for pocket book, boo for the weekend. This was supposed to be my first weekend off in a year or so. Of course something happened. The assistant manager walked in and quit today. That means my weekend has been ended. I didn't really have that much planned so it's not that bad. I still have Sunday completely off but I have to open on Saturday. There is a tiny buzz about a possible promotion. It was mentioned 4 times today and once even by the manager lady. I'm not holding my breath. The former assistant manager asked for my # so he could call me for some computer work. It would mainly be typing up documents and junk. Why the hell not! I can always use some extra bucks.

Thanks to a new update from Apple, my ipod Shuffle has risen from the dead. It's new name is "Zombie" 'cause it is one. This makes me a happy. I'm back to having two ipods once again! *squeal* I'm just glad I didn't take it apart or throw it out. Usually I throw everything out. I guess it was meant to be Oh..

You scored as Friedrich Nietzsche. Well you're an egotistical maniac, and you are so very iconoclastic that you probably are currently lost in a post-modern Jupiter, I mean jungle of self-definition.

Don't let it get you down though, someday, through a willful onslaught of reinterpretation of dated forms and ideas, you will strike on something that passes as remotely new, and people WILL be into it on the basis of how hip it is alone. Also, the average espresso drinker looks up to you.

It appears that I am job hunting once again. I just don't like my job. The commute is wretched and I am expected to perform functions that I have not been trained to do. Oh wait... that would imply that I have actually been trained at all. HA! I applied at Kinko's today. If I get the job, da Mister and I would get the mad phat hook up on benefits! Wish me luck.

Picky!

noreply@blogger.com (TrashCanDan) — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 06:52:00 +0000

Here is the picky I promised

Also my friend Punk Rock Dan had this to say about my squirrel theory:
"It seems to me to be far more likely that there is a silent squirrel global war, and these dead ones are victims of a little squirrel 'final solution' implemented by a fascist regime of jack-booted totalitarian squirrels."

I have to say that I agree. Thank you for putting that to rest.

Okay... Damn it!!

I am now convinced that all the squirrels in the Denver Metro area are suicidal! I am seeing more and more dead ones.

Anyway...

I worked late all last weekend and wasn't able to attend any Halloween functions. Not that I was invited to any. On Tuesday I had the day off and so I painted my face and put on some of my old club clothes to hand out candy in. I didn't get as many trick-or-treaters as I would have liked. I have a ton of candy left over. I had one girl that was shocked to discover that I was indeed white underneath my makeup. I will post a picture of what I looked like soon. I am looking forward to being social this weekend. Ya know with the people getting married and engaged and crap.

Gotta go now. My Totino's is ready.

I have seen a lot of dead squirrels lately. I wonder if that is an omen or something?

Ahem...

noreply@blogger.com (TrashCanDan) — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 20:03:00 +0000

It has come to my attention that I have become WAY too anti-social as of late. I see myself developing social phobias and that kinda scares me. It is really easy for me to just withdraw and stay inside. I am forcing myself to call people and answer my phone even if it reads "Unknown Caller". This is part of making changes in my life that will hopefully benefit me in some small way. Here's to me trying to change things instead of just bitching about them. Wish me luck!

Update-ish...

I feel like I am hitting my stride with the new job. I kinda feel like I know what I am doing. Here is the low down on my coworkers.

Regional Manager=Flaming Cunt Puss Fucker

District Manager=Anal Retentive Douche Bag

Manager=Retired School Teacher who is kinda shitty to the cashiers but is cool to me!

Assistant Manager= Cool but leaving in a week.

Other 3rd key= Been there forever so she gets special treatment but is still nice to me

Cashiers= 2 of 'em are pretty friggin rad.

Receiver=Likes to talk a lot but has a good heart!

The Moron=Every store has one and he is it! He is an unending fountain of dumb!

I reserve the right to change my mind about any of these people at any time without any notice.

Yet another thing that bugs me!

noreply@blogger.com (TrashCanDan) — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 04:54:00 +0000

I don't like the word "mocha"! I think it should be spelled M-O-K-A-H. Or pronounced "Mow-cha"

That is all!

It's not training. It's a trial by fire!

noreply@blogger.com (TrashCanDan) — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 05:16:00 +0000

The new job is keeping me plenty busy. At least I can't complain about being bored anymore. Nor about having nobody to talk to. These are good things. Now the bad. I have not received proper training on closing the store. I do my best but I know I make mistakes. A lot of 'em too! I don't seem to mind though. I had 3 days of training before they left me alone. What do they expect? I have also been shorthanded on help every night this week. WHOOOO!!!!!!!!! I have learned that this is the starter store and most people transfer out rather quickly. Here's hopin'!!

I'm really digging my new job but it is totally kicking my ass. In a good way though. It is nice to be challenged again. However, it's also forcing me to realize my weaknesses and insecurities. My coworkers seem cool. I haven't met them all yet. My manager is VERY much a stickler for things being done her way. Total retired school teacher. There are a lot of things to remember when closing the store. I guess that's what I get for working for corporate America. I will write more when I can. Right now I kinda ache all over. I need a massage.

New Day

I got some muffins and an iTunes gift card as a going away present from O&Co. The people at Godiva gave me some chocolate covered strawberries. Yum! This was the first job in a long time that I didn't feel a little sad on my last day. I guess that means that I am embracing this change whole hearted-ly. Now I just have to figure out what to buy with my gift card. Any suggestions?

MC Chris friggin' OWNED on Saturday night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing to me how entertaining he can be with just a microphone and a laptop. The best 15 bucks I have spent in a while. He is one of the most grateful and humble performers I have ever met. I was thoroughly impressed when he ran up and did a song in the under age balcony. Kudos to you MC Chris!

Here is a picture of he and I taken with my crappy camera phone!
