NOT SKILLET UNLESS USED IN SUCH A PHRASE AS THIS: This is my skillet where my WIFE fries things, and then I HIT her with it!
Nachos
Pizza ... Speaking of which, we're about to go get some. (Is that what she said?)
9:30pm
The new health food shop is going to be right near my work. It will be four times the size of the original store, and have a juice bar in it. There's still no official opening date yet. I could DIE of joy.
Right down the street from the original health food shop there's also a CPS shop, a fairy/nature(/CPS?) shop, and an Irish pub (which I got stew from with Cameron today. IT WAS SO GOOD.). My next day off I want to walk around that area and check out all the places. And the other health food shop across the street from the one I go to that I still haven't been to yet. There are apartments in that area too. And it's all in like a half hour walking distance, in a nice neighborhood. That's where I want to live as soon as I have my degree paid for and own a car. If I moved there right after getting my degree, I'd be paying rent out the ass and wouldn't be able to afford a car. So even though I'll be mostly walking, I still need to get a car first.
They have mint chocolate swirl ice cream (at the original health food shop XD) that's made from rice milk. It's AMAZING. I think I like it better than Bryers. No milk after-taste. Excellent texture and flavor. Not so good once it's melted, but it melts very slowly. The chocolate swirls are fudgey and minty. Not sure if I like that so much. The new store should have more flavors. I think they have it at Giant Beagle too. Maybe they have more flavors. Unless they only have the rice milk, and not the ice cream. Anyway, it's called Good Karma (Rice Divine). Let's check it oooout!
I want to make a work people list too. Yes.
Cindy (aka: Hitler/Christine2): Self explanatory.
Anne: HILARIOUS. 25. Has a 5 year old daughter. I thought she was like eighteen and was so shocked about the kid. LOL We take the (breaded) soooole train to Clam Town whenever one (or one hundred) opens up, and we mimic Hitler when she's off. We salute each other when it's time for our lunch breaks.
Justin (aka: Daddy/Captain/Squirrelaroo): Jealous because he was off the day me and Anne formed 67687963123 inside jokes. Slacker. Dave the Laugh. Drinks and parties a lot. Squirrelaroo is his species, because stores cheese for winter in his apron pouch. (Me and Anne are GENIUSES.). Went to L.A. to try to become a DJ right before I started working there, came back a week later. Currently trying to figure out if he's capable of developing musical taste. I'll determine that after he plays some music from the band he was raving about yesterday. Calls me Meat Man. Smoker (ick, elch, eltche). We talk about cartoons. Cameron hates him with a passion.
Jenn: Went to our "rival school" and does a lot of black head motions when she's got an attitude. Round, with glasses, same age as me. I steal her customers and she tries to crush my arms when I try to get meat out of the case. XD She tells me about how her old boyfriend cheated on her and how she thought she might have been pregnant a while back. I sit there and nod, trying not to hurl at the idea of someone touching a person that physically terrifying. She constantly tells me I'm weird. I tell her I know. Anne can't stand her. Justin asked if I'd stab her with a poison dart in the break room if he gave me one. I said I'd think about it.
Pam: Tiny, cute grandma type. From England, and therefore so much fun to hear talk. All of our customers from the UK talk to her, and bring her newspapers from London, etc. Really cool.
Ed: Best person to close with 'cause he's so laid back. Probably in like his sixties. From New York. Light-hearted. Hates Cindy's bullshit. Starts chats when it's not busy instead of making us clean the world in silence.
Mary: Greatest demo person ever. Me and Anne always hope she's going to give out samples. Speaks kind of slowly. Really nice. "Come on over here and get a sample. I have breaded soooole. I have clams here ready for sampling. One just opened up." Good times, good times. When I brought Cameron in to introduce him to everyone, she said we were so cute walking around the... stooore together. ^-^
Maryanne: Usually nice, but snapped at us for talking the other day (bizarre). She's the one who sneakily threw away chicken because she was annoyed by Cindy being Cindy. She shakes. Like a chihuahua.
Myra: Nice. In her forties or fifties. Good to close with. She said she likes closing with me. ^-^ Her and Justin joking around together is REALLY hilarious. She laughs really hard at a lot of the "that's what she said" type of jokes. Only they're usually worse. XD She'd make a much better manager than Cindy.
The Sushi Chef (whose name I still don't know): Really nice. Cute. Thick Japanese accent. Should let Niki live with her. LOL
That's everyone in the deli (I hope I didn't forget anyone LOL). Unless you count a couple people from the seafood department who come over to help when we're short-handed. Outside of the deli there's my friends from school, Mary who trained me (I'm her unofficial dietician XD), John from the kitchen, and Cathy and Corrine up front who I talk to the most in the breakroom.
I got my first five-day-week paycheck yesterday.
$240
I deserve a juicer.
Then I'll move it faster, faster, faster, faster.
Wednesday, September 10th
Noonish
Only two days off this week. Today and Friday. I fucking NEED a day off after closing with Cindy last night. She makes us do twice as much as anyone else makes us, and every time she walks past me, she goes,"Faster, faster, faster, faster!" SHUT. UP! MY ARMS WILL NOT MOVE FASTER THAN THIS WITHOUT FLYING OFF OF MY BODY. GO. AWAAAAY.
The store was closed. The customers were all gone. The EMPLOYEES were all gone. Except for me, Justin, and Cindy. Yet, for some reason, it is inappropriate to talk while I'm cleaning the glass on the meat display case.
I was already pissed at her for being such an annoying bitch, and for having to clean ALL THREE slicers that night because there were only two of us closing the deli (Cindy had to close up the seafood department because the guy who was supposed to got hurt in culinary school today). But. Even though I'd been working my ass off and putting up with her shit for the past nine hours (THAT'S RIGHT KIDS, NINE FUCKING HOURS OF CINDY) I wasn't allowed to make idle conversation to take my mind off of murdering her in the face. FINE. I'LL JUST GO FASTERFASTERFASTERFASTER. MY RAGE FUELS MY ARM. AND MY MURDEROUS PLOT. ENJOY.
"Nooo taaaalkING! You need to be working!"
"We can do both at the same time! (forced happy tone)"
"No you can't! If you're looking up at him you're not looking at what you're cleaning."
What?! I didn't even know where the fuck he was at. I just responded to a voice from beyond the counter. SHUT. UP. CINDY. THIS IS NOT STUDY HALL. I HATE YOU.
"I wasn't looking up at him."
"*hushedgrumble*"
And as if that were not enough, they had to shut the power off because they're doing something to the freezers or something. I don't know. But, Cindy had us rush over to the machine to punch out, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. WOW. SO, A FUCKING HALF HOUR AFTER WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE IS TOO LATE. IMAGINE THAT. So, she had us go fasterfasterfasterfaster back to the deli, and I was THOROUGHLY PISSED, rushing round like a fucking maniac, and slipped on the floor (I didn't know Justin had just mopped. I was too consumed by my attempt to burn a hole through the glass I was cleaning with my fasterfasterfaster arm.) and landed flat on my ass (and killed myself). It was a classic Charlie Brown football kick fall, without so many flips.
She was acting all fucking concerned. Concerned that I might report her ass and jeopardize her fucking JOB maybe. It's her WHOLE FUCKING LIFE. She is the ONLY person I've met there who talks about nothing but work. Justin told me she has kids! SHE HAS NEVER MENTIONED HAVING CHILDREN, A HUSBAND, A PET, A FRIEND, A THOUGHT, OR ANYTHING BUT MEAT AND CHEESE. DIE ALREADY!
Me and Justin had a very serious discussion about this (while she was at her 2 o'clock meeting and the employees were allowed to speak) and decided that no one would fuck that. The kids are either a lie, adopted, or were artificially inseminated. No one would even rape her. She'd be talking about stock levels. Who gets off on that?
Anyway, when we FINALLY got out of there (9 fucking 15 pm), I was on the bench in front of the store trying to release all of the day's frustration by crying and ranting to Cameron on the phone, when Cindy comes around the fucking corner and starts talking to me! "Are you okay? How long until your ride gets here? Do you want me to wait with you?' WTF?! NO! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!! IT'S HARD TO BITCH ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU'RE A FOOT AWAY. IT'S YOUR FUCKING FAULT I'M ENRAGED AND HAVE A THROBBING ASS-BRUISE RIGHT NOW. DON'T TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL LESS GUILTY BY PRETENDING TO CARE. YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR HARASSING AND CAUSING INJURY TO CUTE HAPPY NEW EMPLOYEES THAT THE MANAGER ABOVE YOU LIKES. YEAH. MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HIM WHAT A GREAT JOB I WAS DOING SO FAR. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF INSTEAD. HAVE A GOOD EVENING. I HOPE YOUR CHILDREN KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP. YOU KNOW THEY WANT TO.
So, after a bit of studying, I may get to be the person at work who recommends fancy cheeses to people. Because I luffs cheese. I've been working my ass off all week, so it's pretty sore. XD Really just my legs and upper back. And my feet. And my lower back. ... Okay, pretty much everywhere. I worked Friday, yesterday, and today. Nine hours each day. An hour lunch and two fifteen minute breaks were the only time I got to sit.
Also, this weekend was the garage sale, so I spent most of my non-working time heaving boxes and sorting through crap. And I spent Friday night at Niki's, brought her a tiny nom to cheer her up from her boyfriend moving (though he was THERE for a visit already. XD) and we watched the NANA movie! So great. And had chicken sammiches of JOY.
Yesterday, I finished bringing in everything from the garage sale that we didn't sell (or give to charity afterwards) home, I went to go take a shower because I'd been working all day before that and just felt gross. So, my mom stops me and says I have a package. IT WAS WEN. OH. MY. GOD. My hair has NEVER been so soft in my life. And I also used it as a body wash AND facial cleanser (added salt to make it a scrub for those two). I felt (and smelled) soooo clean and I'm so soft. But not a greasy, overmoisturized soft. A perfect moisture balance I've never experienced. I'm so happy. I'll never have to buy another bath product again.
Anyway, after my AMAZING shower, I scarfed down two slices of pizza, and Cameron took me to see Mamma Mia! XD It was SO fucking hilarious. I loved it. We sang along. XD Everyoned did. LOL Who can resist singing "Dancing Queen" at ALL? I mean, come on. XD
So then, today I thoooought Cameron was getting off work at six. He said he'd take me home from work today, but I got off at four and needed to kill time until he got off. I went to this fancy little ice cream place near work and got a sundae shaped like a puppy, which was INCREDIBLE. And I still had over an hour, so I decided to start walking towards his work, so he wouldn't have to go out of his way as much to pick me up.
Well. It turns out, he actually got off work at five. And he was out looking for me, and calling me, but my phone had no signal where I was walking so it never rang. It was about 5:45, and I was almost at his work when my phone finally rang, and he was FREAKING OUT because he couldn't find me, and had already gone home. He went in my work and searched the place for me. Oy. But yeah. Since he had gone home, I just called my mom and she gave me a ride home. Crazy fucking situation.
I had a cherry danish.
And decaf black-vanilla organic tea.
Not at the same time.
But I still loved them.
