Hey All!
Just popping in to say 'Hi'..
I'm at work and a little busy..
BUSY IS GOOD!!!

I also take into consideration how long I sit at their table... If I am just ordering coffee to sit and work on homework..but Ill be there an hour *or more and they keep refilling.. Ill pay $2 for the coffee but still leave a $5 tip...
I HATE when my drink is empty while Im eating..

I also won't date a guy again that is rude to the server or doesn't want to leave a big tip... If I need to I put more than my share in for the tip....

foods done
Gotta head to work..



didn't actually 'cook' it.. kinda baked what needed to be heated that I bought frozen
got stuffed fillo shells.. 4 different flavors, pinwheels with salami and provolone and some other flavor, and sliced some bread with some muffelatta...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Yeah, I agree that someone that is just getting minimum wage does not get paid for the bullsh!t.. but one day I was in a store adn something was on clearance for halloween and didn't ring correctly... It seemed to me as if the cashier felt a power trip to be able to say.. No, you aren't getting this on sale cause it's not ringing up correctly.. ofcourse I got it at the sale price.. There are some employees that are just lazy and there for the check and don't care.. I tell a supervisor about bad employees as well as good employees...

Morning.. I had to wake early to cook for work today...

so I got some time to spare whiel everything is in the oven

I can't think of any specifics right now.. but there are names out there that cause me to not respond...

Ben Franklin said, "We can control what happens to us, but we can control what happens inside us."

One of my favorite quotes....

I love my job because I don't deal with the public..



just a few reps that are great to work with...

well I don't believe A would accomplish anything, won't do b... no way would I do c... if I was interested in them that probably means I did d already... so I gotta go with e.. I'd flirt a bit, make it known Im interested.. and if he doesn't get that I'm interested, then I'll ask him out... I don't like to sit and wait for things to happen...

Not at all.. I use a droid all the time.. except he doesn't have a head.. or arms.. or legs.. or a torso..

We take interns at our place all the time..

if you submit to a newspaper.. they will go over it anyway, check spelling, grammar.. things of that nature..
becareful, some like to change your words.. could change your meaning...

Don't turn into one of those that just wants to sell and forgets about substance some people I know are frustrated because they want their story out to the public but it doesn't always happen.. pretty much because it won't 'sell' as good as something else, I guess...

I've had some piercings... and I have a tat.. but I got rid of the piercings.. the pair, got in the way.. the other one was in my tongue.. I liked it.. but when I looked at other girls with it.. all I could think was .. she sucks c**k.. so I got rid of mine... the tat Im happy with.. it goes up my spine but I don't even remember what it looks like....


I like when a guy has interesting tatts... piercings depend...

just download the plug in.. then new options pop up when you right click your mouse... go to firefox.com and check out 'add-ons'


one thing though.. not all add-ons work on all versions..**

I read this sometime ago.. passing it along to those who haven't seen it yet..




Two Phrases that Destroyed American Culture

Every time I promise myself that I will work on controlling my temper, I always end up making a scene.

This time, it wasn’t my fault. All I wanted was a bagel. A bagel, a cup of coffee, and perhaps a spot near a window where I could idly watch the traffic go by as I browsed through the newspaper and licked cream cheese from my fingers. But apparently the Gods were not on my side.

Today I got in line behind a middle aged woman in a fur coat who was barking orders at the poor bagel girl like she was a dumb misbehaving dog. Fur Coat was ordering multiple bagel sandwiches from a list, but instead of ordering them in such a way that would make sense, she was attempting to order them all at the same time. The Bagel Girl was obviously confused and you could tell by her shaking hands that Fur Coat’s harsh tone was intimidating her. Finally, Fur Coat snapped, “I said light butter on that bagel! Light butter! Jesus!”

I couldn’t stand it anymore. I cut in, “You don’t have to be such a b!tch about it.”

Fur Coat glared daggers at me and stated, “I’m not.”

“Well, I beg to differ.”

With a disgusted ‘Hrmph,’ Fur Coat went back to her overly complicated order, but she did so quietly and even managed to begrudge the poor girl a ‘Thank you’ after she was finished.

I have a theory about asshole customers: I think they only act that way because no one ever calls them on their bull****. The poor kids behind the counter can’t stand up for themselves lest they lose their jobs and other patrons look the other way claiming ‘it’s none of my business.’

Fk that. When I see some self important a$$hole verbally degrading a teenaged kid with dead eyes behind a counter, it ruins my day. So, I say some ****. Besides, I feel that if I stay silent, I am almost giving an abuser permission to act like a raging asshole. Ignoring their behavior suggests to them on some sick level that what they’re doing is Ok.

It’s not OK.

The phrase ‘The Customer is Always Right’ is the single worst philosophy that has ever been adopted by American culture. It gave an entire generation of people the green light to be as impolite, unreasonable, and demanding as their little hearts desired because they were always going to be considered right. It destroyed the entire concept of courtesy and rendered manners obsolete. People began to treat their peers in the service industry like incompetent morons, lacking in feelings or human dignity, who deserved to be browbeaten and abused for no other reason than they had the audacity to run out of a particular brand of coffee. Furthermore, instead of suffering negative repercussions for their appallingly disrespectful behavior, they are awarded with free coupons and plenty of ass kissing. In reality, they should be shunned and humiliated for behaving like such self absorbed little children.

Speaking of respect, another idea that has ruined American culture is the one that states, ‘I don’t give respect freely. You have to earn my respect.’ This one is most often uttered by punk kids with bad attitudes and black fingernail polish.

Fking gag me.

I mean, how egotistical does one have to be to automatically assume that their respect is so fking important that one must jump through multiples hoops in order to earn it? How about we give people respect because they are humans with lives and feelings just as important as our own? Why not give people a default level of respect and more or less can either be won or lost based on the behavior of the individual? The loss of respect is something that should be based on actions. The idea that that one must win basic respect in the first place is incredibly belittling. How narcissistic can you be to embrace that ideology?

A few Sundays ago, my husband and I went out to breakfast. If anyone has ever attempted to go out to breakfast on a Sunday morning, they know that restaurants are usually packed around then. We were finally seated and our server was not only very busy, but also a new employee according to her ‘Hi! I’m new!’ nametag.

I’d like to say that everyone in her section was very understanding. The place was a madhouse and she was obviously out of her element. I wish I could say that the patrons in that restaurant were mannerly and polite and treated her with even an ounce of dignity and consideration. But, if I did, I’d be fking lying.

Nearly everyone yelled at her or condescended to her like she was a stupid little child. One guy ordered a side of ‘home fries’ and reamed her ass when she brought him French fries. Had he looked at the menu a little closer, he would have seen that ‘home fries’ weren’t listed. This particular restaurant only served French fries or hash browns. Her mistake was understandable and he was basically yelling at her because she didn’t read his mind accurately enough.

But let’s all forget about that for just a moment. Instead, I want to point out that there are a multitude of things that can go wrong in one’s life. Death, illness, and poverty just to name a few. Yet, here I was watching a grown man lose his fking sh!t because he was going to have to wait 5 minutes for a side of hash browns. Suddenly, I lost my appetite.

At this point, the angry little man demanded to speak to a manager and a kowtowing corporate whore scuttled over with free coupons and many apologies. The angry man furiously demanded that his waitress be fired right that instant. Over hash browns.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I leaned over and interrupted, “When you’re finished talking to this man, I’d like to speak to you. I have the same server.”

The angry man smiled smugly, no doubt convinced that I was going to back him up on his quest to get a new girl fired because he had to wait 5 ****ing minutes.

The manager finished with him and moped over to my table ready for his second tongue lashing of the day. I surprised him by loudly saying, “I just want you to know that our server is doing the best that she can. She’s been trying very hard and has been very sweet to us even though that a$$hole has treated her so poorly.”

The manager suddenly looked panicked and started shooting terrified looks at the table that just finished reaming him out. “I know,” he whispered fearfully, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to fire her.”

And while I was pleased to learn that this particular manager wasn’t going to fire the new girl based on the whim of some fat a$$ piece of trailer trash, I was disappointed that he rewarded said trash’s temper tantrum with free food. I long for the day a manager walks up to a table and says, “How dare you treat my employee this way. Get out now.”

I’m sure they want to, but that ridiculous policy ‘The Customer is Always Right’ silences them. So until we banish that phrase from American culture forever, I suggest we quit looking the other way when people behave like scumbags.

After all, technicalities may suggest that they are always right, but that doesn’t make them any less an a$$hole.

Ill tell you why...
did you ever read the writing about 'Two Phrases that Destroyed American Culture'?
I don't want to post it here.. it's too long.. Ill post it somewhere.....

Unfortunately because of budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel had to be removed...



I've learned that depending and needing only me is the best way to live... alhough sharing it with someone adds to the happiness

One of my favorites is when I'm researching something.. Firefox has persistent sticky notes and highlighters.. I can place a sticky note on a page, or highlight text.. leave come back.. reboot.. whatever.. and my notes stay.. great for school work. and the Cooliris preview.. allows you to see the page before you click on the link to it.....

yeah.. I am so busy with working full time and school fulltime that I want my freetime to be peaceful and drama free... That is one area I have control over..
