I’m convinced!
I’m so convinced after watching this video!
Anyways…..
Here’s a nice reply to it.
I feel better.
Again, I feel much better.
So how’d work go Gary?
So, if you read my blog below this, it says I was going to quit. Well, that didn’t happen.
I didn’t chicken out though! My boss is in Reno until Thursday.
Yeah.
Lame.
I’ll do it when he gets back.
I hate idiots….
Oh jeez, I am hurting right now from holding in laughing. This guy next to me is such a dipshit. I wonder how some of these idiots get in to fucking college. Ok, the in class work is so basic. All you do is copy what the Professor is doing on the screen. He goes slowly for the most part. I mean, I’m following along while writing this blog. Come ON. This guy is slamming his mouse down and acting like a little kid because the Professor won’t stop a full course to help just him. It’s a big class.
It’s required to have a flashdrive in this class. REQUIRED. This was said the first week. This same guy has the same problem each and every week. He attempts to get the in class work off the common drive each week. I’ve personally explained to him that our class work continues each week from the assignment the week before, and getting the original work each week is pointless. It’d be like doing all the past work each week all over. You HAVE to save it each week to your flashdrive. This guy is so dumb. He basically whines and has tantrums about it.
I want to slap him. I want to slap him HARD. I was in a group with some idiots in this course earlier in the semester, and got out of it fast so that I could get a good grade doing it alone. That same idiot from before just asked me if he could join my group.
….Ok, We have three parts to the project, two have already been finished and turned in by the entire class. He basically wants credit for the work I did. I am usually really nice, but fuck that. If this guy had just started late and was willing to work, I’d help the guy out, but fuck him. He’s a free-loading, lazy, idiot. I said (without even taking my eyes off my computer screen),
“Yeah….that’s not going to happen.”
I’ve never been that much of an ass to a stranger until now lol.
The idiot will fail. Do I care? Nope. He deserves to. If you don’t do your work—not even that, if you don’t even TRY to do your work, you deserve to fail. Think about 5 years from now, when this guy is working. Oh jeez, even if he worked at Burger King, he’d somehow manage to cause an explosion.
Job
So, my job is lame. I’m in training right now.
When I first started about 5 weeks ago, they were like, “Mistakes are fine, you learn from mistakes.” And well, I made my fair share in the first two weeks. Forgetting the exact ingredients in a cappuccino blast, etc, etc. Well, the past 3 weeks, I’ve made like 3 mistakes. One, put 3 scoops of ice cream in a medium shake instead of 4 (really, you can hardly even tell). Two, I mop front to back instead of side to side (no fucking clue why that matters, but he gets pissed off about it). Three, when doing an order for a party of about 8, all with weird orders, I forgot to ring up a single 85 cent topping. I was surprised I only forgot that much. They were ordering things like, “I want a banana split, but only two whip cream, four scoops, and 3 cherries.” I have to change the entire pricing for that kinda of thing. The thing is, I remembered the topping last minute and added it in the register, so I technically didn’t forget it.
Anyways, because of that last thing with the topping, my bosses wife Sharri (who, btw, has no fucking clue about anything in the store), says that if I keep making these dozens and dozens of mistakes, she’ll have to let me go. I’m like, “….I’ve made like three the past 3 weeks, and I’m still a trainee, I think that’s pretty good.” She was like, “You forget a 85 cent topping, and that takes away 45 cents of MY profit!” I told her that I remembered it, just took me a few seconds longer, and that she didn’t lose shit.
Yeah, she was mad because there was a chance she’d lose 45 cents.
Yeah.
So, I was going to give a month notice of quitting to move back to Red Bluff, and then leave in June, but I’ll just tell them now, and say, “If you want to fire me, go for it, but since I gave notice, and you’re firing me after, you’re going to have to pay me for the rest of the work I have scheduled for this pay period.”
I’m usually a nice guy who respects everyone, but if you don’t give me respect, I have no reason to give it back to you.
The funny thing is, while she was talking to me about possibly firing me, I was smiling and a cute mexican girl was giving me the eye. So it wasn’t totally bad.
Ok, new respect for DivX
On my earlier blog, “Damn you DivX,” I had a problem with the application and basically whined about it. Well, an employee of DivX happened to stumble across my blog and left a comment offering to help with my problem. Personally, this shocked me. I was thinking, “Oh jeez, that’s kinda the best customer service I’ve ever seen.”
So, this is a blog dedicating a new found respect for DivX and its employees.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
My roommate can be a douchebag. He’s racist, egocentric, elitist, overly religious (sometimes), sexist, bigot, and homophobic.
Thing is though, he’s probably one of the better roommates here I could have really. He’s clean, he’s respectful of my space and things, it’s fun to talk to him when he’s not acting like the Derek I hate. Like, we have millions of inside jokes. Around 80% of what we talk about are inside jokes.
“Bean cup”
“Likin’ it like Lycanthrope.”
“Toooo late”
“Potatooo”
“Prom Night Dumpster Baby”
“Bilson Beating”
“En da da da da”
All classics. I just wish he wasn’t such a dick the other part of the time. I’d actually be able to be a really good friend with him. But, people have personality flaws. I have them. Most of the time, I’m a totally nice guy, but I can be a total dick too. I’m a hypocrite at times, I tend to see my views as better than others just because I can argue them better, and I can be overly sensitive.
So I’m not just bashing on Derek, because really, he’s a great guy and an all around decent roommate. In all actuality, he’s one of the best roommates at this dorm I bet. It’s just, you don’t really know what kind of flaws a person has until you live with them. But, you also see the good parts of people. Just when you see someone when they are in their own environment, you see the good and the bad. I personally deal with the bad in my roommate by writing about it. If he’s being a dick, I tend to do the, “Mmhmm” and sit at my desk. I’m not going to get in his face about it, what good would that do? I’m just trying to learn to deal with personality flaws in people while figuring out my own.
