People who go to or call stores the day after xmas need to learn something…If you have an attitude with me, you ain’t gettin shit! I will always do my job, but if you are nice ,patient and don’t treat me like something you scraped off the bottom of your shoe, I will bend over backwards to try and help you find what you are looking for. Even if it isn’t with my store. I hate when people are snotty and rude on the phone. It isn’t my fault you arent the only human being trying to call the store, and you had to wait your turn (boo fuckin whoo!) so don’t take it out on me either.

Now that I have the means to get on the computer anytime I want to, I can continue to post here,Yeah ME!!! no,lucky you! have a happy new year!

Chris really has a death wish i think. He bought another computer without asking me first. This time I got not one but two t-shirts. The only thing that has kept him breathing, is that this time the computer is for me!!! When he brought this box in the house he was grinning like fool. He then kept teasing me about what I was getting for xmas. I was trying to be good and not think of it ( so it didn’t drive me bonkers) and all he wanted to do was keep bringing it up. When we decided to open the gifts on xmas eve ( we still had to xchange gifts with his family on xmas day), he told me I had to do the big box last. Whatever , I thought. THen while I was opening it I asked if there was a picture of it on the box ( I had also told him that since he ws being a wise ass, he wouldnt get any reaction out of me. He kept saying how he couldnt wait to see my reaction.)…he paused then I realised it was a jumbo box of toilet paper (or so said the picture). He and Toni died laughing and said “Yes!!!” . So I opened the box and there was two t-shirts, one is pink floyd and the other has a squirrel who says,” The people who drive me the most nuts are in my family!”. When I was trying to get him to give me hints he replied that it wasnt a bigger box with paper shavings and a smaller box inside. Under the t-shirts was (big surprise) paper shavings. So I dug through and found a toshiba notebook box( his notebook is a toshiba, but I didnt remeber him saving the box.), I asked if that was what was in the box…and then my heart stopped. He bought me a fucking computer, a green amythest and white topaz ring, an antique clock, a green polo sweatshirt, and many other wonderful things ! I think my mouth fell open and I just stared at him in shock. This was the sweetest most thoughtful gift I have ever received. It blew me away that he loved me so much to do something so sweet and nice. Then it hit me…he bought me a tshirt ( remeber the incident when he bought his new laptop? ). It was perfect so I started howling with laughter. Tears were streaming down my face from laughing so hard and being so overwhelmed at how thoughtful my life partner is. I have never had someone buy me such a gift and not because they felt guilty, or obligated, and without expecting anything in return. I was truely touched and overcome with emotions. I love this man so much, I have never before in my life felt this way about another human being. He is the gretest partner I could have ever wanted. And not because he bought me a very expensive gift, but the reasoning behind it and the sacrifices that were made. He loves me completely. He thinks about me and my needs and wants and then goes above and beyond to make sure I am happy. He puts me first and I have never known love in that way…the same way I love people is the way I deserve to be loved. He far exceeds my expectations on a daily basis. I could not ask for a better person to grow old with.

All my life I have been so afraid to truely let people into my heart (because I gave it away when I was 14 and it never got returned) I was sure I would be hurt. So I put up barriers to keep myself protected and I never really let anyone in after that. But in the last 18 months my heart has been unprotected and i feel stronger for it and the love that I have gained because of it is truely something special. I hope that my daughter can see my relationship and hope to have this kind of happiness as she grows and lets others love her. It doesn’t matter how much people love you if you don’t allow them in. They can try and you can try and convince them, but it will never be fulfilling and you will be left void and numb. It is scary to love and trust another human being with your heart. But if you can find one worthy of the task…it is life changing!!!

I find it amazing how I went from the guy at work asking a couple of people where they were getting their programs from for their Treo 700 to now becoming the guy the same people are asking me where I found my shit.

It’s an egoistical thing… I am aware of that.. but let’s face it.. when you are good.. you are just good.. ya know!!!!

So… I installed some sort of palm globe… alarm clock thingy… a call recording software.. (I think it has voice dial too), dope wars, Geek Dictionary, VNC, SimCity… Oh yeah!! And a VOODOO DOLL!! *maniacal laugh* that was my favorite….

I think I may have found a recording software for my phone too which may suit my needs. I think that and mobi tv and I very well could be set.

I was disappointed to learn I the copy of Grand Theft Auto I found for the Treo didn’t work. I am unsure how successful that would have been to play anyway but the reactions from work would have been priceless.

My daughter informed me the druggie is in jail again for violation of his probation. I asked her if she knew why, but her grandma wouldn’t really tell her. The only other thing her grandma told her was; “Her parents (Ami’s/ Me and Vanessa) should be pleased to hear that.”

I shrugged and told Ami to inform her grandmother that news was the best Christmas gift I could have received. Ami then showed me a box of soap and shampoo and asked me if she thought we should send it to the druggie.. I just started laughing hysterically for two reasons, the irony… and my daughter had no idea what she was actually suggesting.

It was classic… you got to love kids.

Anyway… I think I am going to take my nerd ass to bed now. I need to catch up on some sleep.

If retail is therapy, then can I hang myself now and get it over with? Better yet, can I get a pinch hanger? Like one of the many idiots who are trying…unsucessfully…to acquire a nintendo wii. People have gone too far…they have crossed the line and I am not gonna put up with it any longer!!! I listened while they tell me their sob stories, I explained the system to try and help them have a better chance, I even told them when I saw them elsewhere when we were out…but now I am being harassed outside of work…and that is too much!!!

I was eating lunch yesterday at KFC and I was in my blues (work uniform shirt), I think I still had my nametag on even. Anyway, I was at a table minding my own business trying to choke down my food and get back in my 30 minute time frame…and some bitch with her daughter actually came over and asked if we had any wii’s left?!? Because she didnt want to waste a trip and all, and we did (afterall) have them in our ad. I was so shocked I almost choked. Was she serious?!? Do I ask her about her job in her off time?…NO!!! WHAT MAKES HER THINK I AM A SPOKESPERSON FOR BEST BUY? Just because I wear four shirts at work (because I get cold) and therefore cant tolerate wearing a coat, what right does that give her to bother me?…NONE! She crossed the line! And also I have people telling me daily that I am “ruining xmas for their…(you fill in the blank)” My favorite is when they call and ask me about the “special” stock we keep in the back for those people who won’t wait in line. Ya know the half our inventory that we hold aside for people who come in and ask really nicely and we run to the back and shit one out for them. In what universe does that work for them? We aren’t the black market for Wii’s. If your lazy ass can’t stand in the line you don’t want a WII that bad! Because those that want it that bad, wait in line more than once, and eventually they gt their Wii. Why would I make it easier for the lazy to get them than for the dedicated?

People suck! They are selfish and angry. Cruel and thoughtless. And let’s face it just plain ignorant! Have a blessed christmas with your loved ones, and for god’s sake don’t you dare ask me for a WII! I would have to hurt you!

I hate being lied to… I absolutely hate it. It is probably one of the very few things which would set me faster to pissed off then most things in this world.

It’s worse when it is your nine year old daughter…

I asked her to do her math homework.. relatively simple request. She had reading and math… she came downstairs a little bit later and tells me her home work is completed.

I asked to see her math homework as I was interested to see how she was doing.. she pauses and goes.. well uhh.. I …

that’s it…. your done…

I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!!

I hate being lied to!! Especially when it is her!!

I HATE IT!!I HATE IT!!I HATE IT!!I HATE IT!!I HATE IT!!I HATE IT!!

FUCK!! How hard is it to do something!! If she had told me she didn’t do it yet she would not have been in trouble… BUT SHE LIED!!!

DAMMIT!!!

People suck!!!
I cant believe someone would own an animal just to leave it the fuck outside in the cold! We have new neighbors and they have the sweetest little kitten…she is so beautiful and very sweet. They just leave her outside and dont pay any attention to her. She ends up coming to our house and wants attention from us and we want to keep her! She would love it over here and we wouldnt let her outside ever! When it is 20 degrees and there is a threat of freezing rain dont let your animals outside. Would you put your kid out in that shit? Maybe they would, who knows. I want that cat!

On a separate note, retail sucks! I’ll take people bitching about their food anyday. People shopping this time of year lay all their stress on you and you are supposed to have the very thing little tommy begged for as well as the one item Suzy says she will just “Die!” without. God forbid if every other snot nosed little shit wants the same thing… If you don’t deliver, *finger making a cutting motion across neck* You are ruining Christmas!!! They dont think that maybe if they hadnt waited till three weeks before xmas, or maybe if they had shopped online, or maybe if they had asked everyone on their list to provide more than one thing and then *gasp* they would get the ones which you could get ahold of! If the people who are shopping aren’t bad…then the people who you are working for suck…big time! They are so uptight and bitchy they make the shoppers seem calm. Then they blame it on holiday. I think they just use this time of year to let their inner satan come out and play and blame it on others. What a great built in excuse…” It’s holiday!” I thought Christmas was supposed to give people the warm fuzzies and make them all peace on earth and GOODWILL toward men( and women), but that is a far cry from the case. Why if it is such a sucky time of year why do people stay and work there? I hope I am not gonna be subject to another season of this shit. At least with the food you know whats what. If its your fault, you fix it…if it isn’t you don’t mess with it.

Why do people have to be such assholes? does it make them feel better? Why is cruelty cathartic? Why is it that during this time of peace on earth and all that bullshit, I like people even less than any other time? The selfishness, cruelty, bitchiness, greed, anger, and loathing that seem dormant for the other 11 months come raging full force into the forefront like a bull charging a red cape! taking away my faith in humanity and rendering me cocooned in a shell waiting till after new years is over until once again I can emerge and take stock of the situation. I hate people!
