2-17-11 I am so furious right now. A coworker that has been seriously slacking off just belittled me in front of a customer and the owner of the company.
3-4-11 He did it again. I talked with another coworker about it and came to the conclusion that I can't do anything about it.
The above are for my own records so if something ever happens at least I will have the dates to refer to. But holy crap. This guy is turning into a class A asshole. He just does not want to work and he is paid far more then me. You have no idea how much this pisses me off.
Fortunately I'm not the only one that he is doing this crap to. With luck he will shape up and stop this crap. which is a better thing then him getting fired(ha!) or him not getting fired and doing worse.

Uhg...
I just found out that someone I thought was a friend and that like to hang out feel otherwise. Abit I should have realized sooner but the fact that they kept hangging out with me threw me off.
But now I know.
On the phone today when I called to see if they still wanted to go to a new restaurant and said I would pay if money was tight for them. I hadn't seen them in a while and I have done this before. They claimed that they didn't know and that we hadn't made plans last weekend. They then made an off hand comment that caught my attention. They said why can't my dad go with me and that it was pretty sad if they were my only friend to do things with. I didn't have and answer for this as I was pretty shocked that they would say that while making plans with me. I asked if they wanted to go and they said not really. I asked why not and they aid they didn't like that kind of food.
Why they didn't tell me this the first time I asked I have no idea. Not liking the food at all is kind of an important thing to let the other person know about in advance. Mostly this is what has me so pissed because I wasted most of a day last weekend waiting for them to wake up and get ready to go out.
The other thing that pissed me off is if I did do something with out mentioning to them they would get pissy because they were not invited. Needless to say I will not be going out of my way to contact them unless I have to. Holy god in glory why could I not have known this back in high school? At least I know it now.

Customer Road Rage
Dear sweet, loving customer of mine...
Thank you for being angry at us because of company policies that are out of your/our hands because your company needs to OK additional payments so you can get to the skid of stuff they shipped here. This should not be a shock as it was dropped here three weeks ago and we have been trying to settle this with your company. Again we understand that you need the items for your job but a skid does require additional fees and yes this was explained to your company.
Which brings us to three days later... AKA last night.
Please note that your SUV is larger then my little beetle and so I was already watching you as you turned into our parking lot. I saw you had not stopped but continued towards me and at the last minuet make a U-turn and head back down the street. Thank god I didn't assume you were parking and thus didn't get hit by you. I wish the owner of the company could have seen the dirty look you gave me as you drove by. He was the one crossing the street with our HR guy as you did your crazy driving.
It was also noted in your file in case you do that to other employees in which I will look into reporting you to the police for aggressive/neglectful driving. Cars are not toys. That being said, rest assured that if you do try that again and hit me I will try and sue you.
I am so not payed enough for this.

Atkins Diet pt2
So, when deciding that you are going to try the Atkins Diet plan your meals before you start. Look up recipes and fill your fridge with enough for the week and so that when you go poking around looking for a snake you won't get tempted to grab something carb filled and pre-made.
And... That didn't last long. I had Swiss cheese and ham for lunch and I suddenly felt ill. This was my first warrning flag. My second came later that night after I got home from work. We had bacon, an assortment of cheese and the ham&cheese that I had had for lunch.
I thought about it and every time my stomach would lurch at the thought of eating more meat & cheese. Then the thought of having to do this for the next god knows how long made me almost cry.
So I made some garlic-y death ceaser salad dressing and was happy.
Oh, also? Telling my dad that I only agreed to the Atkins Diet to 'shut my mom up' was not a good idea. In my defense this happened before I finished making my salad.
Now, I understand that this would only have been for a few weeks and such but it just isn't for me. I know it works for my mom and other people though so it is worth a try.
Personally I hate diets. I'm happy with how I look because I know that my lack of exercise if the problem. Which is easy for me to fix when it stops snowing. I also have the tools to work indoors but I get board with this. I'm going to be getting a collapsible bike when I get my taxes back. Mostly because it'll fit in my car and I can ride it after work. Also to bring it to NYC when I visit my sister.

Yee Old Diet
Yeah... It's not pretty and it doesn't really work if your not running around like a little kid. I would love to know when I got so shy that I wouldn't even go out side and ride my bike. True my bike is bright neon pink, but still.... If I could ride it al la goth then I should be fine on it now right?
Yeah... next I should sell that bridge in Brooklyn that I have a share in...
I'm not on a diet per say. I watch what I eat but I still enjoy my self. My parents seem to think that they need to intervene on my behalf on almost a daily biases. I'm 28 and they act as if I'm an infant. I am to the point that I might just start swearing a blue streak at them each time they ask to see if they will just stop bothering. I don't think it will work though, I already rant at them for an hour after they nag me.
But the diet...
Two small pieces of bread with peanut butter, a slice of pizza/small sandwich/ cup of soup/sushi for lunch, a small snack, scrambled eggs/steak/something for dinner and then bed. it's defiantly not all that interesting but it seems to be working. my weight actually stayed stable during the holiday food fest so that made me happy.
I just hope that when I do add more activities to my day my hunger won't skyrocket like it usually does. Because that is such a pain. :-(

Blog Posting
I had originally planned to post as often as I could. Thinking that I would have so many posts that I would be set for life. I am laughing at myself now for having such hope that I would have 1-3 post's written per day.
1-3 per day. Why or how I came up with number I'm not sure but holy cow is it insane. Assuming I planned to write 345 days of the year, at that rate I would be writing 345 - 1,035 posts per year. Right now I have about 23 posted/stored here. It is better then only one a month, but not by much.
Ah, but it was nice to think that I wanted to post so much.
I think I am going to take a few of my post's from an old blog and re-post them here. I'll mark them as such to make life easier for me. I think I have a few old customer sucks and some interesting links. It might work.

Happy Holidays!
And Merry Christmas!
Social taboos aside I have been insanely busy this holiday season. I have no idea why or how I was so busy, just that I was. I am so tired right now. :-(
Also I will never ever go into a supermarket, let alone a liquore store, on December 24th again.
A Liquore store sales guy that must hate their job. Why else would he ask me if i had questions and leave before I could say yes? Then when I hunt him down 10 min later he looked at me then walked away? He had been talking to another sales guy that answered my question for me. I left that store and will probably not go there again.
The second one had what I was looking for, a non-sweet mead, and while busy they waited for me to look at what they showed me to see if i had a question. This place is a part of the shopping center of parking doom, but they have a bigger selection then my little local place that I usaly go to.
The supermarket was a mob scene. I swear to god if my parents wait until the last minuet again I am not running out. We didn't even cook the things they needed me to get.
I know that we are not ready for New Years eve. I'm a sucker so I'll probably be running out tonight for them.

More on Customer of Fail
Dear Customer of Doom,
It was wonderful to hear from you about how complicated your move has become. I am sorry that the owner tried to get you the best price possible back in January when you and your daughter needed to move right away. I am also sorry that you did not make a decision regarding the estimate until April. The first sales agent you dealt with dropped you like a hot coal and the agent that ended helping you out now has a minor nervous tick when your name is mentioned or your number shows on his phone.
Because you and your daughter were living in the same house you two said you would have everything marked so there would be little to know confusion. We were extremely relived that only two of your daughters items ended up going with your items and shipped them to her as soon as we could.
We are also sorry that you rejected the three move dates that would have guaranteed all your items to be on one truck. Instead your items were only half picked up with the rest going to our warehouse to be stored until we had another truck going that way. This was an epic scheduling failure on the part of the larger company that we are an agent of which is why we were willing to help you out as much as we could. Unfortunately we will not pay for your flight that you claim to be scheduled for the day of your move because you refused the other move dates. I am also sorry that you managed to alienate every employee but the owner, in the office that day due to screaming at them. We came to terms with this and now share our survival stories with much laughter.
But please sir, do not call in screaming and ranting about UPS not showing up to pick up the box that we are paying to have shipped to your daughter. We can understand that you were upset but screaming/yelling loud enough that my co-workers two desks down could hear you was not the best thing for my ears. The HR manager was also there at that time.
I do apologize for the small 'coffing fit'. My HR manager had been trying to encourage me to hang up on you and talking of how he could not believe that continuing to try and calm you down to help you. The 'coffing fit' occurred because he realized that the conversation was being recorded and he was giddy to hear it played later.
Again, I am very, very sorry that you were hired to deal the black jack game at the owners batchlor party back in the day and that you managed to use it to strong arm him into moving you agenst all better judgment.
For your records you will be charged storage starting on the first of the year. If you contact us so we can finish delivering your items or give us the address of your new location, we would be more then willing to work out a deal with you. And yes you will still have to pay us the $2,000 you still owe us for your original move.
If we could, sir, we would make ring tones of your ranting and sell them on the internet. We would probably be able to retire on all the profits.
Much love,
The moving company that is an agent for a larger company.
We really don't want to move this guy again. We should not have moved him from the start. But we did and now we are stuck with him. Corporate really didn't help because when he finally decided to move there were no other move going in that direction. There have been so few long distance moves lately it's scary. I personaly think that he refused the other half of his shipment to get us to move him the second time. And the poor girl that was setitng up the UPS pick-up. And the poor UPS people that had to deal with him. :(
