Why are so many people suckered into this madness? I hate that these stores put out these "great" offers for 4AM, not only that but only have a VERY limited amount of the "great deal". You'll get 200 people lining up the night before in hopes snagging one of 50 Playstations, Stupid.

Is it me or is it getting outrageous that Nintendo Wii and Elmo dolls are short every year? They have the whole year to produce the stupid things yet have a small supply for Christmas? Bull! Its just a marketing tool to make the product seem more hip or cool and inflate prices to maximize profit.

The worst part of this day for me is the people shopping, people in the stores are usually rude, cranky, and pushy. I have seen people in shouting matches and fist fights over the most trival things. People will push, pull, and shove to get what they want.  Parking is a nightmare! The cashiers and other staff in the store are so over worked and look like deer caught in headlights.

No thanks I'll go to the office to work or just stay home.

Seriously!!This isn't the first post I've made about these damn drunk natives up here, but it's been a while (and it's also been summer). 

http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/596064.html

What the hell?? Last years drunk hitting the champion dogs wasn't enough of a reason to do something? I hate these stupid losers! What do they do for their life? They hang out, drink and smoke, take money from the government, and then complain about how the "white man" is the reason their lives are this way. NO NO NO - you make your life what it is! The only person they can blame is themselves. They take their government check and go buy snow machines and quads and booze and smokes. Then when their snow machine runs out of gas or breaks down what do they do?? THEY BUY A NEW ONE. You should SEE the machines abandoned out there. It's DISGUSTING. Stupid drunk natives piss me off!

Now a man that has done NOTHING but good is gone. 

*note: I am only referring to drunk ALASKAN natives in this post.

What is with people? I went to lunch with a deaf relative today and discovered just how moronic people can be.  I wasn't feeling well to begin with but this arse hole just set me off. 

I'm not skilled at sign language but I do my best, so were enjoying our food and talking away. I keep seeing this "lady" mocking our signing, I ignored it when I first noticed(seen it before nothing new). She thought she was being amusing and kept it up. I finally had enough when I looked over again and saw her gesturing to her friend and laughing hysterically. I got up from the table to confront her.

I lied and told her she shouldn't be signing about her STD in public because thats nasty and rude. I also told her that eavesdropping on a conversation is rude and to keep her fat ass outta of our discussion. I closed the whole thing by telling her not to sign if she doesn't know what she's doing, it just makes the person doing it look like a horse's rear end.

I went back to my table after seeing this woman's face turn red with embrassment. I swear to god I often wonder where people get thier manners from?  Thank god my family taught me better than that poster child for birth control was. Where were the condoms when she was conceived?

Now this is NOT directed at any political party, not at all. This is directed at the depraved person/persons, still living at home in their parents basement, with a poster of Brittney Spears on the wall.

And 'No', I wasn't caught with this one!!!

Have, errr, HAD this young employee tell me Saturday that she MIGHT be quiting next week for a job she has been offered since June. The only thing in her way of said job, is her passing a drug test (she claims she knows what will wash the drugs out of her system so she can pass this test) and her age (she is now 17, but will be 18 next month).
Now I told her that IF she ever wants a good reference from this company OR me, she better give her notice in written form at least two weeks ahead, but I would allow her to make it a week if she does so by Monday. She, being 17, did not understand what the 'big deal' was, and then she asked that she was afraid that if she did turn in her notice, and she didn't get the job, she wouldn't be allowed to take her notice back. LOL I congratulated her on feeling the apprehension of being a 'real' adult and told her if she turned in her notice, that showed responsibility and would likely be allowed to cancel her notice. Great right? She agreed to tell me Monday (today) IF she got the job and if I needed to cover her shifts NEXT week. Fine fine fine, just as we discussed. Still with me? Good, because apparently this responsible appearing young lady must have forgotten our discussion:

She MISSED her shift yesterday! Day manager texted her (wow, NEVER thought I would EVER say that as a way to reach someone!) and she texted back that she was up in Sacramento buying a car, had to leave earlier that day and had no time to call in. Then she followed that lame excuse with, 'Sorry, hahaha'.

So now I gotta cover her shifts (luckily there are plenty of people looking for her job, inside and outside the company) but what a FRUITCAKE!!! She thought I was kidding about her reference rating, I am not, I will do everything I can do (legally, of course) to wreck her employment life for at least the rest of this month, after that, I am over it.

Heck, just writing this has gotten me over it, but now I still have to handle the rest of the week with another 'headache' of mine at work. This new kid (kid is 28) started off like gang busters his first two days, but since has shown who he really is, a lazy, dirty, cantankerous (fill in the rest), back-talking (to the supervisors) little BOY! I have made him my personal project, either he re-impresses me or I will have his resignation 'on my desk'! (I always wanted to say that)

'Funny' thing is, of the two guys I hired last month, the one I thought would be the first out is the one that is actually trying the hardest to stay. He NEVER complains about the same thing more than once, he ALWAYS remembers what he was taught, and, other than how slow he is, is ALWAYS 'perfect' in executing his duties. Now if you ever saw him you would swear he was around 50 or 60 years old, but this guy is 43!!! But he is also a recovering alcoholic and his last twenty+ years were working in Arizona and Reno, mostly outside, so mix the sun and the drink, you get twenty plus years added on. His slowness I attribute to what the alcohol may have done to his brain over the years (no police record, but drunks don't need the police to get their heads bashed in, he isn't allowed a DL and he is just about to move out of his Alcohol treatment center home, so he is moving along with his life. Hope he keeps on this track. He is also going to get more hours, he is too slow to open, but he can close and work the mids well.

Anyway, gotta go to work now, got to call a purveyor that shorted my store but were happy to charge us for it! Somebody tell me what the best way to get through CS without getting mad at them, I am mostly sure it isn't their fault, but. . .

Rant: Work internet sucks!! We have to reset constantly, and we can't seem to hold our connection. Satellite internet blows chunks, but there is nothing we can do about it unless we want to spend a few million. And we're not big enough of a company to do that!

Rave: Hockey meet and greet tonight, I get to meet ALL the players and it's free. Also, I bought my ticket for the opening game on Friday night! I'd hit on a player but they don't have enough teeth!

Rant: My roommate with his "you should" nonsense. Just because I live with him does not mean he is welcome to tell me how I should live or what I should do in terms of ANYTHING that does not effect him or our living conditions. He did it when I bought my car "you should get this, you should get this" he did it when I talked about getting a laptop "you should get this, you should look into this". And now he's done it with my winter tires "Well you should have done this or this or this instead". SHUT IT and stay the HELL out of my business!

Rave: Winter is TOTALLY here. It's been snowing all day, and they're saying 9" by tonight. AND my studs (that my roommate said were a waste of money) have already come in handy TWO DAYS in a row!! My Equinox is a freakin' tank!! I ♥ it so much!

I'll try to stop by again tomorrow, but if it's cloudy in Canada we probably won't have internet again at the office… Wait did I say Canada? I think I meant Tahiti… no no wait I mean France… oh no I mean… who the hell knows!

My Friday morning has been destroyed. I have never wanted so badly to rip someones arm off and beat the ever living piss out of them with it! I called yesterday to get set up to get my studs on the SUV. The guy says they don't do appointments, but that as long as I'm there at 7am to drop my car off it will be done by the end of my work day (which is perfect for me). 

So I get up early, and get my lazy butt moving (still tired after the hockey game). I arrive at the business 10 minutes before 7. I sit in my car and listen to the radio. There are three other people waiting by the door. Time passes slowly, and I see the clock in the building hit 7. OK no problems, it's a windy rainy morning, perhaps he's running late. Five minutes later my coworker shows up and I said "Go to work, I'll get a cab there. Let them know I might be a few minutes late".

I grab my stuff and I go stand with the other people (now there's 8 people standing there). We're standing around, some are reading, some are chatting, and I overhear a guy say "Yeah he told me the open at 8 but to get here about 7:30."       WHAT????

Apparently I was the ONLY person told to be there at 7, everyone else was told 7:30ish. WTF is up with that??? I have to be to work at 7:30! Why the hell would you tell a customer to show up half an hour before you tell EVERYONE else. Now I'm fuming mad, getting more and more pissed by the minute.

Finally at 7:20 I couldn't take it anymore. I had 10 minutes to get to work and this anus still hadn't shown up. I decided that I would rather pay $100 more for the tires then miss time at work and pay for a damn cab ride because this company owner is a jack-a$$ that can't tell everyone the same thing! Now I have to call a few other places and pick one, then set up an appointment. These other places are ALL pre-approved by coworkers for being good, knowing their $hit, and getting it done when they say it'll be done as well as being there when they tell you they will be there!

GRRRRR I think maybe I'll go look for steel and relive some of this stress I have. 

I stepped in to visit our neighbors who have small dog (a mutt) who spent the entire half hour I was there trying to humping my leg. Arggh!

Put little Stiffy in a room when guests come over or have him fixed already!

This site has gone to ****. See the ones of you that matter on myspace. To the rest of you - get a myspace!! 

And to the FEW that ruined this site - way to be trolls. Way to find a good website and destroy it with what YOU think the site content should be. Ya'll are a bunch of cheese-dicks!

I will just post the email I just got, it says it all to any of you that remember what happened (BTW, I left the names intact so you know where to aim the prayers towards):

Dear Friends & Family,

I am sending this to quite a few of you to ask for special prayer coverage; Alisa called and left me a message at work just a while ago that she really needs some prayer help. Her ugly divorce continues to drag on and the kids are feeling the brunt of their dad’s tremendous anger and bitterness. He continues convincing them that he has been completely wronged and has not deserved any of this, even though he is unemployed and now homeless and doing jail time (on weekends) for his illegal gun possession conviction. Summer locked Alisa out of the house today and was yelling horrible names at her; there have been other such incidents in the recent past as well. The damage this is doing to Summer and Josh is hard to imagine. Please pray that God will intervene every day in the coming weeks and give Alisa great grace and wisdom in dealing with her children’s anger and confusion. She has continued to report things to the probation office involved and to CPS and has the children in counseling; at some point this has got to get better. I believe there is a court date to conclude the divorce on Sept. 30^th. Thank you so much for your prayers.

Blessings,

my street was BLOCKED!!!

I went to get donuts this morn and when I came back home I couldn't even DRIVE down my street to park in my driveway!  2 cop cars were all in the middle and I had to drive up on the front LAWN of the neighbor's house to get in my driveway.  I live on a dead end street.  so there is no other way onto my street. and then when I got out the truck, I see the cops coming out the house across the street LAUGHING!!!  WTF!!??  couldn't have been too urgent so why couldn't they have just pulled to the side of the street?

THEN when I was leaving out to go to DJ's game, a big truck was blocking the EXIT of my street, stopped in front the manhole in the ground doing something!!!!  I was already rushing and then THIS!!!  THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY IN OR OUT MY STREET, WHY DO THEY DO THIS!!??  so I had to roll up on the curb AGAIN to LEAVE!!!!

Don't you just hate it when some brats on the phone whining to her dad that she probably wants a new car added to her "collection" and you know that he's probably saying stuff like "Oh honey, not today, maybe tomorrow" and her response would probably be "But DAAAAAAAADDY!" I seriously hate that and she's like talking in a small elevator and you can smell her stupid, expensive lip gloss in the air. Talk about rude and spoiled. HELLO??? Ever heard the expression 'Money doesn't buy happiness?' Obviously not.

Peeve Meister here. 

For those of you who missed me last week (and sort of give a hoot), I’m officially back from a brief end-of-summer vacation.

While I was away, I had the pleasure to fly on some of our Nation’s largest airlines.  What a treat that was.  Actually under the circumstances, the airlines performed pretty well.  It’s some of the other passengers that I had a problem with.

Bad airline behavior is so irritating.  I don’t know if it’s the altitude, but every little thing seems exaggerated.  From the usual clown who pushes his/her seatback into your face the minute we take off, to the passenger who insists that the fight attendant recite every beverage selection that is onboard the plane.  Some people just don’t know how to behave in public.

Do you have a good Pet Peeve story about flying?  Tell us about it.  Misery loves company.

Peeve On!

So I'm at work, and all is going well. I should realize that this means something bad is going to happen, but no, I actually believe this is going to be a good day.

My coworker - one of the techs - goes in the supply room, and when he leaves he doesn't turn the light off. I've said something 800 times (ok not 800 but it sure feels like it) about turning the light off. So this time I get up, turn it off, walk out of my office, look at him and say "Is it hard to turn a light off". He flips. "You're not a ****ing manager, you have no authority around here" I say "I've been told about lights and if they're not needed we are supposed to turn them off (management said so)". He says "You have no ****ing right to talk to me that way, you're not a manager. You're not my ****ing mother, you can't tell me what to do". Finally when I get a word in again I said "You don't pay the electric bill" and he flips "You don't either, so shut the **** up and stay in your office and do your ****ing job". So then I told him "Management has said NO UNECESSARY lights on". He flips, I started to ignore him, then he comes in MY office and shuts my office light off. So I said, as a smart ass "At least you're ****ing learning how to turn them off now". Then he mumble bitched some more and walked away.

Seriously HOW F**KING HARD IS IT TO SHUT A F**KING LIGHT OFF?? I could see if you were going back in there, but he wasn't. What a dip ****! 

And I'm making a f**king sign "SHUT THE LIGHT OFF"

There’s not much that’s more irritating on a daily basis, than having problems with your neighbors.

Whether it’s noisy parties (that they don’t invite you to), loud music, arguments over property lines, fences, exterior alarm sirens, paint colors, sidewalk maintenance, blocked views or tree trimmings – you really don’t get to know your neighbor until you have a good old neighborly dispute.

Do you have the neighbor-from-hell living next to you?  Has he/she become your daily pet peeve?  Or, are YOU the evil neighbor?

Either way, tell us about it.  I’m sure you’ll get tons of good advice from our world-class Peevers here at MyPetPeeves.com.

Did any of you see that one? It was, to me, the most exciting race of the olympics (well, as of this AM, VERY AM). Phelps came from behind to take the win AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT! He would have gotten the silver had the Serbian racer NOT tried to glide that last foot (Phelps stroked the whole way). It was soo close that had it not been for the tech being used, it would have fallen to human eyes to make the decision and I thought the Serb WON!

Well, in 'classic' Olympic class, Phelps was happy and grateful appearing, the Serb, however, not only did NOT look happy (his smile was so VERY forced), but his people lodged an official protest and made the judges take a look at the replay to see if the right call was made.

Well, once the judges announced that they agreed with the computer sensor, this guy looked even LESS happy! His smile became so wooden, I thought he wasn't even going to accept the Silver and just storm off stage! WTF?!?! He lost, quit trying to lessen the victory by Phelps and just congratulate and move the heck on. 

Tell me I wasn't the ONLY person that saw this event. Aside from that Men's volleyball team, I believe it was the Swiss team that was made up of two brothers that were OBVIOUSLY not on speaking terms with each other, that Serb was the WORST attitude for an Olympic athlete I have EVER seen! I am EMBARRASSED for he and his country.

I thought of you today, and did something for you. I answered the phone (our new receptionist starts Monday) and the guy was in the middle of explaining something to me and he said "Hold on a minute" and placed me on hold. 

I looked at the phone, said "What the fuk" and hung up!!! It felt GREAT!

People who call the wrong number and expect me to have the right one for them. Sorry but I am not a phone book, call the freaking operator if you don't have one.

I've posted this before but it bears repeating,  I am not your honey, sweetie, or baby. 

People who just hang up with no warning, they get what info they want then just slam the phone down!   GRRRR.

People who carry on multiple conversations while I'm trying to informations with from them.

I hate people who will call 5 times, knowing they've got the wrong frickin' number!  What the first 4 times weren't enough for you? If there was a stupid stick someone must beat these people with it!

You pick up a call to get a recorded voice saying "please hold…..", screw that you're calling me if you are to busy to talk then don't bother, I'll hang up everytime.

We keep getting this advertising call for a cruise with a very loud foghorn sounding.  Its bad enough we get ads over the phone but ones that damage our hearing realy don't appeal to us at all.

I am sick sick sick sick sick of calling a company who has obviously sent their call center overseas but try and pull the wool over your eyes! They train these people to sound more American; wouldn't it be easier to just keep the jobs here?

I wanna pull someone's lips off when I excuse myself to get a pen or whatever but they continue talking anyway! People need to learn to listen and not talk!

People who will repeat the same info over and over and over! UGH, I got it the first two times you told me.

People who cannot speak properly just annoy the hell outta me.  Someone was spelling her name for me and said this "rahh" WTF what letter is that supposed to be?

You take a message with a phone number when someone says the number they gave you is not the number they can be reached at.  IF YOU CAN'T BE CONTACTED AT THAT NUMBER THEN WHY DID YOU GIVE IT TO ME!

I can't believe they want to protest this funeral!! My local radio guys were talking about it, and they said that the kids friends and family have stated that IF these people show up at the funeral they will handle things themeselves. I kinda hope these people DO make it there, because I would like to see them get f'ed up! I also give Canada MAD respect for refusing to let them into the country!! If only America would grow some balls and shut them up at military funerals!

I say great for the farmer. It's not like he put the farm there AFTER they bought the houses. I hate people like this. There are a bunch of abondonded cars on my property line I will donate to him!!

I wonder if the tree huggers will object. I saw screw them too!

We have a 15 foot round pool in the backyard and frequently have guests over to swim. My peeve is that some of the people come over with no towels even though we tell everyone to bring one berfore hand. We're providing the water the least you could do is bring a towel.

The pool we have is an above the ground round shaped  pool with the metal wall and the liner (they're easier to keep clean IMO). We tell people to not push off the side of the pool, they do it anyway.  GRRRRRR! When we do loan towels they are often left on the wet deck and not hung up to dry.

We're also annoyed by parents who won't supervise thier own kids and expect us to. We may not have the greatest set up but we have comfortable furniture on the deck there is no reason you can't enjoy whatever you need to do while keeping an eye on the kids.

My last peeve is people who get out of the pool and walk into house sopping wet, leaving water puddles all over the house.

Other than the post I just placed about the war deaths above, I will leave TGIX out of pointed posts. rkinne is correct, we are NOT in pre-school.

I was undressing at the gym today when a man came into the locker room with a 6 year girl. I'm sorry to all you parents out there but, its not cool to bring your opposite sex child in the locker room with you!  It makes everyone in the room uncomfortable as well as your kid.

My gym has a day care, he could have dropped her off there or left her with a gym employee long enough to get changed.  He also could have changed before he even got there. What a stupid head!

Well, this is just one of those weeks I am guessing. After my ****ty day Tuesday, I woke up Wednesday and my neck ended up super screwed up in the first hour of my day. I went all day in severe pain until I could finally go see my chiropractor. Still in pain, but have a much larger range of motion, and it's even better today. Sorry if this rant is long, but I have to get it all out, and it's better to tell the whole story then just part.

Anyways, yesterday at work the Receptionist called off. Typically when our receptionist doesn't come in the dispatcher and GM answer phones. Well the dispatcher decided not to come in as well. Being I had nothing to do I went down an answered called to save the GM a MAJOR headache (he now has to take ALL dispatch calls). Not to "toot my own horn" but I'm an AWESOME receptionist, and I don't mind doing it OCCASIONALLY as it's a nice change of pace. If it paid what I get now I'd do it too, but I have school loans and a car loan to pay off. Everyone has always said it too, every person at every job tells me it. I don't think it's hard to be good at it either. You treat people how you would want to be treated. A friendly voice that wants to help! Well this is not how any of the receptionists have been, and the dispatcher is HORRIBLE at being nice.

Including today I have been receptionist for a total of three days (two in a row right now, one from a while ago). Being in that position I see how bad our dispatcher is doing. I've heard from everyone, but now *I* am taking the flack from customers for what she isn't doing. This includes emergencies. When someone calls up saying "The fire department is getting sick of showing up for false alarms because my sprinkler pressure is messed up" - that's an emergency. When someone says "Something in my mechanical room has discharged" - that's an emergency. Situation #1 has been happening for two days, and #2 happened two weeks ago. So luckily these people got to talk to me, who WANTS to help them, and WANTS the company to do well (job security anyone?). We have a department that has not been scheduled to do any work this month. This is the same lady that bitches when she has a phone call, yet because of her position she gets 90% of the calls.

Today was "talk about the situation with the dispatcher" day. Her reason for being out the last two days?? "I'm tired"…. Yet she has a perscription for Xanax already… So the GM, owners daughter, and myself had a 45 minute chat about the situation. When the owners daughter got married, I sat around with department managers and was blown away by the amount of stuff she ****s up. When they try to tell her, she blows up at them. When the GM tells her, she blames the techs and cries. After us all standing around discussing it the owners daughter said that her father needs to know about it. Which he already does, but doesn't want to say anything. 

Just before lunch the GM took the owner into the conference room and had a "closed doors" meeting. I am hoping it has something to do with this dispatcher, being as the conversation about the receptionist being replaced was over before the owner even got there. There was also a 35 second discussion of "Should I go through a temp service or place an ad for a new receptionist" which makes me think they weren't talking about that.

I did lunch today with a few coworkers who explained the situation more. This has apparently been going on for years, it just gets a bit worse as time goes on. They say nothing will happen about it, and that nothing will get done. They say that being the dispatchers son married the owners daughter the owner will not get rid of the dispatcher. I think that's bull, and I don't see why that would be grounds to NOT fire someone. If you're not doing your job you shouldn't have that job. I even told the GM to give me a promotion for a day to do the deed. Although I'm a great receptionist, I don't take **** from people.

This afternoon was quiet, but every time there was a problem with someone, it had to do with the dispatcher. I even had a lady call up about some past due invoices she got a letter about. She hadn't paid them so we were about to send her to collections. She tells me flat out "I have sent your company 5 letters saying NOT to do work at any of these locations. I will pay this bill but I am sick of you doing work where we are not authorizing it, and us being stuck with the bill". I realized this was a good opportunity. I told her flat out "Yeah, that's pretty messed up, and there is nobody to blame but the person sending them there. Here's what to do: with your payment include ANOTHER copy of the letter telling us not to work there. Next, I'm going to give you the owners name, and I would like you to send him a copy of this letter, and perhaps explain the situation. I think he should know what's happening". And I gave her the owners name. I also let the GM know, who said if he knew that's what was going on he would have asked her to send HIM one as well! Hard to argue with complaints in writting, crying bitch dispatcher or not!

After work I do the chiropractor, and decided to get Subway for dinner, something easy and I can relax when I get home. I go in and there's nobody in there. Just a lady with three children. Shouldn't be too long, right???  RIGHT???             RIGHT???   Holy ****ing half hour. I almost knocked this bitch out, but I didn't want to scar the kids. Now that I look back I think I should have knocked her out. Maybe the kids would have learned to either know what they want or let someone who knows go AHEAD of them. GGGGGGRRRRRR   If I knew that what I know now, things would have gone differently at Subway today.

Now I'm home, and my friend has sent me a package. His tracking number says it was delivered at 9 am, but I don't have it. I'm supposed to go meet a friend tomorrow night, but she's got a slight cold that I do NOT want to get. Man, what a ****ing week. TG tomorrow IF!!!!

Oh - on a side note I haven't been on during the day because the receptionists computer SUCKS donkey dick. And the GM and I are ready to place some bets that the receptionist AND the dispatcher BOTH call off again. My intentions of work tomorrow are to be receptionist again.

Picture yourself walking down a nice quiet path in the woods, you can hear birds chirping, but they are in the distance. Picture hearing a bubbling brook up ahead, you are calm, you are calm, you walk on. . . .

Now just picture yourself next to this brook, or maybe a stream, you are calm as you listen to the water running by, you are calm, you are calm.

Now picture yourself holding that <enter name here>'s head under the water, you are calm, he WILL stop struggling soon, you are calm, you are calm. Now there is nothing but silence, you can’t even hear the birds, only sound now is the stream as it carries your disruptions away, because you STAYED CALM, YOU STAYED CALM. (C:}

These people are sick. They are going to protest a soldier who was brutally murdered by an unknown person.  I hope the city doesn't grant them the permission to protest.

In general, I'm not annoyed when someone wants to take a bite off my plate, to taste something they've never tasted before.  I'm not a germ-a-phobe.

I do have a problem however with a particular person that ALWAYS wants a bite of whatever I, or someone else we're with, is eating OR drinking!

Twice I've heard her tell the same person "Oh, a margarita, I've never tried one of those before, do you mind if I have a small taste?"

This is a REALLY BAD and annoying habit, and I'm sick of this person always taking a bite of my food before I do!!

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a name for this condition? There must be.
