Work fucking sucks today!!!!!

crazy day at my place of employment

First off as i left work i saw this in the parking lot..lol..

Earlier in the day a coworker was on a big ladder like 15ft or so..she was pulling a box out of the bin and lost her footing and fell off the ladder landing,how can i put this,doing the splits on the pallet jack handle then hit the floor..there was blood everywhere i could hear her screaming it was awful.. they called an ambulance in and sealed off the area..that poor girl tore herself up bad..
Then an other coworker was pulling in carts from outside and in order to get the carts where they need to be you have to turn into the bay(the holding area for the carts). Well he had a huge line of carts and as he turned them he rolled them over his toes breaking a few of his toes. this same guy a day earlier had sliced his finger in the meat slicer in the deli.
There is just some bad voodoo up in this building..

odd cake

i was starting work today and getting ready to go through the double doors into produce backroom when i look up and see this cake in bakery it caught my attention. It said on it "hello happy birthday 2 you"...who puts hello on a cake...it was like the cake was greeting me as i walked into produce.. kinda weird..lol.

miss the blog

***blog entry is kind of long***
ok i know i said i was stepping away from blogging but i miss it.. anyway work has been a pain in the butt..i did step down as dept manager. the day before i did i went home early cause i was feeling like shit well the zms manager( the manager below assistant manager and step above dept manager) got pissed cause i left and starting talk shit about me to floor associates in other departments.She was also discussing my health problems with floor associates well of course they went and told gina who then told me.I went in the next day and told the assistant manager that i step down.and all the shit the zms was saying about me. i told him isn't it against the law for the zms to discuss my health issues with floor associates. he said yes and he tried talking me out of stepping down. told him as long as that zms is here im not department manager.told him too exactly how i feel about the zms. well he calls both of us into his office to clear the air.. she claims she did no such thing and she wouldn't risk her job like that. i was like ok whatever. assistant manger told the zms to leave me alone and knock the attitude off and stuff like that.
This last tuesday the assitant manager was not there just zms. well she calls me into the office and tries to write me up..lol..there was an other assistant manger in the office as a witness. the zms was like im tired of telling you what to fill on the floor.and that i should have come and ask weather our fruit wall was fixed( it has been broken, not keeping temp) and that i need to take pride in my job.. i was like first off you never come tell what to fill cause i do my job, 2nd its your job to come tell that the wall is fixed and to fill it. She stops me and tries to tell me well technically you r still department manager and should find me and check on things like this.. i was like dont give me that bullshit you guys already brought in another department manger to take over its not my fault you guys havnt done the paper work yet to make me a floor associate again. I was dropping every 4 letter word i knew. i was so fucking pissed off. the assitant manager after hearing the arguments i made and how she tried to throw that department manger thing up, told me to just leave your fine this isn't going to stick. he went and talked to store manager that there was no merit to write me up.
well today the zms came up to me and apologized..you could tell they made her do it. the assistant manger that was in office told me he couldn't believe what she was trying to do and that when i was swearing the way i was in the office he was trying hard not to laugh...i apologized for my language he said its ok he understood how ridiculous the whole situation was..

its crazy to when i stepped down management told me i could stay in produce. then the next day it was you cant stay in produce but you can stay on this side of store and choose bakery,deli, or meat dept. i was like ok ill think about it. well about an hour later it was ok your going to meat department. i was like ok.. so the next day i got to work i go to meat department. i last about 10mins before they tell me that i cant stay there either that there are no hours available in fresh side of store. I was sent to paper goods and chemicals department closing shift 1-10pm. told assistant manager there's no way i can stay on this side of store. told him i didn't want to work paper good and chemicals. told him i will just quit. He was like dont do that, let me figure some things out. i was like ok so there i go to paper goods and chemicals. i spend 4 hours there. then assistant manger tells me not only can i stay on fresh side of store but i can stay in produce.

results

i got the test results yesterday..everything came back fine..no cancer nothing. thank god...im still trying to find a combination of meds that will control my blood loss. which im still dealing with. and the anemia they r wanting to keep a close eye on.work is still giving me a hard time. im still stressing out a lot think i might step down as dept manager. with my health issues i cant deal with that and work at same time. gina actually bought me a stress ball..lol..i think im gonna step away from this blog, facebook and email for awhile too.and just work and come home and veg out for awhile..see if that helps. if you want to get ahold of me just text me.. if you dont have my number then just email gina she will give it to you..heres ginas email ginaburton2002@yahoo.com

i just want to crawl under a rock and hide for awhile

man since friday i have been sick,gone to e.r, spent time in hospital had a blood transfusion,biopsy,told i have a growth the size of a softball going on,i been trying to get some state insurance to help with cost of hospital and follow up,work has been on my ass to fix shit in my department but dont tell me how i'm suppose to do it,Then yesterday i get an other jury summons( which i postponed again)..guess when it rains it pours but dont know how much more of this i can take.im an emotional and mental wreck since friday(when i went to hospital)..i wish the world would leave me alone for awhile.
All i keep thinking about is when i walk into that doctors office in a few weeks my life can change forever i could be told its cancerous(its probably not but what if it is). dont know if i can handle that. i keep flashing back to that day mom walked into the house, hugged us and told us she has cancer and is going to die. Fuck man i need a drink.

last few days

so i have been feeling pretty bad last few days..well Friday i was at work still feeling like shit but i had some intense sharp stabbing pains in my gut felt like i was gonna pass out. well it got so bad i told Gina take me to the er there's something wrong.. so we told management and left work and went. well first thing they tell me is my blood count was half of what a normal person should have. so i got a blood transfusion right there. they pumped in like 3 bags of blood took the rest of the day on Friday to complete this.it only brought my levels to a 9 normal person has a level of 12 when i walked in my level was a 6,they told me i was in red flag danger zone kinda low. then i was severely dehydrated. had 4 bags of fluids pumped into me at same time. i had tubes and iv lines all over my arms. then they had to take blood it felt like every couple of hours. so they had to find veins to do that which was difficult. the last time they took blood they took from my wrist on the arm i had an iv tube thing in and she blew that vein out. i have a huge knot they say if it doesn't go down by Monday i have to go back in cause they say it might be a big clot..at one point it was golf ball sized..anyway they also did tests and scans like crazy. they found 2 fibroids on my uterus one is softball size and was twisting around causing the pain and the huge loss of blood i had. once they found out mom passed away from cancer they decide to do a biopsy of uterus wall to see if there is cancer or pre cancer going on.. they say they dont think there is but to be safe because of family history...so in a few weeks i go back to discuss the results. they got me on a bunch of stuff to stop the bleeding if that doesn't work they are talking removal of my parts. lol..they kept asking me do i ever want to have kids and shit like that. we got to hospital friday around 2pm and left sat night around 7-8pm..gina stayed the whole time with me.. felt bad for her she looked like a zombie by time we got out of there. everyone kept coming in our room saying i heard we had identical twins in here..im thinking seriously not now..lol..so cross fingers all goes well with biopsy and that i can keep things in check with all these meds they got me on. oh when gina called work friday night to check in with them to let them now whats was going on..they gave me the weekend off have to be back on monday..how much does that suck...lol..

they what?

our brother told us something funny tonight...he told us that we were baby Sasquatches that our parents found us in the woods took us home, shaved us down and called us their own..lol..he says our first words were goonie - ga ga..arent brothers great...lol.

work

i got promoted at work..i will be the new department manager in produce. i sign the papers and everything this Friday so i start next week( at my place of employment the first day of the work/pay period is Saturdays..weird huh..lol)..
in previous post i made the remark that the department manger told me he thought i was gonna take his job..guess i did..feel kinda bad about it.. they demoted him down to sales floor in a different department. the last couple of days him working in produce someone let it slip that i was taking over and he told me. well the next thing is he starts singing in the back room chuckies got a gun( instead of Janie got a gun..his name is Charles that's y he said chuckie)i just kinda laughed it off with him but i was thinking hes gonna come back here and shoot me or something.lol.. then yesterday( his first day after being demoted) he comes over and talks with me about stuff and all of sudden was like watch out i went to church yesterday to try and deal with all of this..something is off with this guy it seemed like that from day 1 of me being there. i hope this guy doesn't snap and come looking for me you know.i dont think he will but u never really know your co-workers do you...lol..

wtf--goodwill

we walked into goodwill yesterday and saw this(pic below).. ok..i dont know this just doesnt look right to me..lol.. and we took the hat off and that doll thing didnt have a head..lol..

ipod

we just got new ipods..we got the ipod touch 4gen..we love this thing..theres so much you can do with ipods now..heres a couple of pics we took with ipod so far.

weird week

it has been a weird week at my place of employment..first there was a guy who went berserk yelling and screaming.. everyone in the store was watching him... then you hear police sirens.. it took 6 cops and a taser gun to get this guy out of the store..Then a lady comes in store covered in blood. mentally something was off about this one. she tried on clothes and no one wanted to approach her.. they just kept an eye on her. any clothes she got blood on they had to haz-mat them. she bought a few things then left.. then yesterday they say( we didnt see it) a guy was wielding around a knife in the store..not sure how that one ended. then in the parking lot yesterday a guy with his girlfriend were walking through the parking lot and his other girlfriend showed and the two women went at it.. at one point the both jump in the car and continue fighting in the car locking the boyfriend out of the car..didnt get to see how that one ended my lunch break was over..man this store gets all the looney's...lol..

first week

so its been a little over a week now that i have been working at the store gina is at..i walked into a huge mess.. with a dpt manager thats a complete idiot. and a cooler full of rotted produce..seriously it was the saddest looking stuff i have ever seen.. i swear it looked like the cabbage was crying...lol..anyway. so i have spent most of the the time cleaning out the cooler, which is now almost empty and organized now.when you get rid of bad stuff you have to weigh and put it in comp how much you are getting rid of for inventory purposes..well these guys didn't even know how to turn the scale on..i asked how do you guys know how much you are getting rid of?.. their response we guess..i turned the scale on and taught them how to use it and properly get rid of stuff..
One time the dpt manager told me as i was leaving backroom with a cart of stuff to do something(forgot what it was) after i finished my cart. i said ok..he said ok get to work and as i was leaving i swore he called me an immigrant or said work like an immigrant..either way i was like WTF!!..
During most of this time the assistant manager big Joe they call him has been on vacation..well before he left he let people know he is coming back and cleaning house in the fresh areas..well he came back yesterday and 4 people got fired.it was kind of a tense day at work yesterday.

bigfoot sighting

i spotted bigfoot and he is mild and happy at my place of employment

altoids

got a question for everyone... we are working on a project and need a few round Altoids containers ( the ones the sour Altoids came in)..does anyone know where to buy these we cant find them anywhere. Or if anyone has some that they dont want we will buy them off of you.

first injury

first injury at new store. i was putting stuff in bottom shelf of produce cart and something under the top shelf took a chunk out of my knuckle.the pic doesn't give the injury justice..lol

newstore

so today i started working at the store gina works at.. the produce dpt is a mess..i cant believe what i walked into..i feel like im here to babysit the dpt manager.he thinks im here to replace him. he thinks hes on his way out door. lets see how day 2 goes.

i missed it

so i'm at work and it was time for my first break.me and a co worker go sit outside for the break..as we step outside we noticed two cop cars in front of building facing each other.I told co worker it looks like they are under an urgency by way they are parked..we dont think much more about it and head back in side.that's when other co workers start to tell us why the cops were there. Apparently a guy was standing around by enter exit doors on inside of store on his phone and had a gun.he didn't threaten anyone or anything just had a gun like it was no big deal while on a cell phone.they said the cops let him go because he had a permit.
So through out the night co workers were telling story of scary shit that has happened in the store years past. there was this one story a co worker told me that a guy all calmly walked into housewares department and opened up a knife and cutting board and sliced his fingers off and walked around the store..crazy huh..lol..

its a bee, no its a dog

Our niece got a Halloween costume for her pug dog

transfer

so i have been trying to transfer to Gina's store..well my side approved the transfer request yesterday and Gina's side agreed today and opened a job in produce for me.. so now i go into personal on Monday and let them know and to have them release me at end of pay period so i can start next Saturday. Its cool i get 40 cents more an hour at Gina's store and it will be nice to work with Gina again. i really didn't like working at a different place then Gina.

rubber band ball

a thought

i was talking with a friend of ours about my blog post about the guys who took the table down from its display and sat down at it and had lunch. It got me thinking wouldn't it be kinda neat to setup things like this in different locations of my place of employment and take pics and start a photo blog of those pics. we could try and convince friends of ours to be in the pics...

this last week

this last week things at work have been kinda quiet..not to many weirdos walking around doing stupid shit..lol.. its was cool Gina bought one of those 5 dollar lotto scratchers on Tuesday night and won 50 bucks. we also got a mega millions tix and won 7 bucks , good week lotto wise..we went to the angels game last night, had a good time. heres some pics from game.

Angels 9-28

a table for four

couple days ago i go to work after having a couple days off and my coworker was like i gotta tell you something. She tells me how she was walking by the furniture aisle and saw that these 4 guys had taken down the table and chairs we had on display and set them up on the floor and they sat down at the table and where eating their lunch..lol..wish i was there would have taken a pic.. lol.. its nice to know that my coworkers come across weird shit too and that its not just me..lol.

jesus and shitty bicycles

a couple of things that happened at work today. First i took a call and helped a customer with info on some tea kettles we have the conversation goes well and all of a sudden she says Jesus loves me and that she will see me in heaven and then she hangs up..and i totally had a eerie feeling like she was going to come in the store and kill me..lol..kind of a creepy phone call..lol..
Then later in the night someone or something had shit on the floor by the bicycles.. well then someone was riding a bike around the store didn't see the shit and ran right through it and tracked it all over the store..lol..felt bad for the maintenance guy who had to clean it up..

couple nights ago

took this pic a couple nights ago..from our backyard..it was a cool looking sunset.

new flavor

lawn

so we decide that the backyard needs some attention today. we get our brother to come out and help, we mow the back and he weed whacks and edges that kind of thing. ok mind you he doesn't really know whats hes doin so we try to explain and show him what to do but of course that fails cause he knows it all..lol.. he cant handle getting advice from his little sisters. anyway so there i am mowing the backyard gina's taking care of the rose bushes and here comes our brother weed whacking around the back where the grass meets the fences and house. all of a sudden he is in front of me getting the weeds up against the chain link fence i look up and something shoots out from where he is weeding and hits me in the face i go back and I'm like wtf! it took me a moment to realize what happened. Gina comes over says she say it all. she saw the thing( which we still know what it was) fly up hit me and i go backwards..I'm ok the vision in my right eye only stayed blurry for 10mins then went back to normal..lol..if only he would have just listened to us, we kept telling him you got to be careful and pay attention to what your doing.otherwise your gonna get hurt.lol..We start talking about how we need to trim back the fruit trees we have our brother says we should get a chainsaw to do that..i can just picture the damage he would do if he got a hold of one. Not only would have no fruit trees left but, knowing my luck, i would probably end up with a missing limb or something.

this and that

first off, man allergies are kicking my ass today..
that mirror in last post we made i forgot to tell you when i was hot gluing those little mirrors i placed them in my hand and applied the glue. Well, i was doing that and didn't noticed the glue stuck to the glue gun and when i pulled the gun away the mirror flipped over and landed glue side down in the palm of my hand. it fucking glued itself to my hand. had to peel it off.Where the glue touched my palm it blistered up.Working yesterday annoyed the shit out of it every time i moved a cart.. its not big just in a wrong spot you know.
At work last night i was walking by the kitchen gadget aisle(you know can openers,spatulas that kind of thing) and there was this lady with her about 4 year old kid in the aisle. while she shopped like nothing the kid went ballistic in the aisle.He picked up every box of stuff on the bottom shelf and tossed them on to the floor and kicked them around,stood on them, jumped from one box to another. The mom didn't do anything,then the kid picks up a metal paper towel holder thing and starts swinging is around like he was brave heart or something.That's when i left the aisle i was thinking I'm not the one this kid is going to hurt..lol..i come back a few mins later and sure enough they were gone and the stuff was still all over the floor. A co worker comes over and was like what happened told him a 4 year old kid went ape shit. lol
Then we have those foam pads for your mattress,well someone opened one up and shoved onto a shelf in dept. I went to take it off shelf so we can claims it out(no one will buy that opened up like that) as soon as a touched it i got a whiff of a horrific smell oozing out of this thing. i dont know what someone did to this thing or what kind of bodily fluids were wiped all over this thing but it was gross.I got a trash bag to move this thing off shelf, i was going to touch it bare handed,claims made me double bag it and put in bucket. I was thinking seriously you dont want this back here smelling the area up. but that's what they wanted so that's what i did. the rest of the night that's all i could smell like it got on me or something or it left a toxic cloud in the department..lol..

we made this

look what we made out of skewers,different size mirrors and a glue gun

since we took this pic the round mirror in the middle fell off. need to find a better why to get that to stay on.

Got my finger stuck in a folding chair here at wrk..finger nice and swollen..lol

Last break.2 more hours 2 go..cant wait to get out of here..

Found yet anothr cowrker id like 2 punch in the face..it sucks bein at wrk 2day

Alarm didnt go off,woke up late,then my ride to work flaked on me..

just wanted to say we have been doing this blog for 3+ years now..and this is blog post #500..

moving day

well this morning (4am) dad and the kid left for Oregon. we knew for awhile that they were leaving but it didn't hit us til this morning.It always hard saying goodbye to family huh?..

mirror

just got home from work and you wont believe what happened tonight.Me and my co-worker were taking two shopping carts of cardboard to the back room and we pass the frame aisle where we have full length mirrors. Well as we pass the aisle we noticed a guy whipped out his dick and was taking a picture of himself in the full length mirror..lol..me and my co-worker looked at each other and were like was he doing what we think hes doing i was like yup. so we turned around and he must of noticed we saw him cause as we turned back to go to the aisle the dude was zipped up and gone.lol...

granola bar

I was having breakfast this morning and look what i saw when i opened up my chocolate chunky granola bar..

vacum bags and flip-flops

last night at work a lady comes up to me holding a used full vacuum bag telling me she needs this.. i was like ok first get that dirty bag out of my face. then i was like what kind of vacuum do you have, she says the one that fits this bag. this bag has no marking on it nothing just a plain white vacuum bag. told her i couldn't tell her what bag to buy. don't you know vacuums you work this area don't you she told me. i told her i just work here. she stormed off dirty vacuum bag still in hand. seriously why do people think i would be some sort of expert in anything. I just work there. its like last week they had me cleaning up in shampoos and such and someone came up to me asking whats a good hair dye to cover up the purple she colored her hair(apparently her parents didn't like it...lol..).. i don't get it.
It was about 30 mins after the store closed last night( it closes at 10pm and starting about 10mins before ten they make announcements over pa system that we are closing and to basically get out.) i noticed this(ok im gonna do the best to describe this person) person. He was insanely tan, like dark dark brown, Asian man.Bald with jean overalls on rolled-up on the bottom, no socks and flip-flops on. Hard not to laugh out loud at this one. Anyway there he is perched on an end cap in electronics in front of tv wall watching iron man 2. i call my co-worker over and asked if she noticed him she said yeah but im not going up to him. so we waited til electronics person got back from break..long story short they finally got him out of there like 45mins after store closed..lol.. he did finish iron man.
there was almost a fight there last night too. these two high maintenance women who you could tell don't shop at stores like the one i work at(cant say the name,,lol).anyway they turn on each other and start calling each other names and getting all loud..of course all the male employees hear about it and swarm the area its happening at. to their disappointment the women realized that a lot of people where watching them and decided to leave quietly

8-1-11

well i have been working at my current place of employment for about a month now and i already have come across a co-worker i'd like to punch in the face..seriously...right in the face.. anyway i cant believe its august all ready. august is tough for our family. we have birthdays like every 5 days or so and the first 3 are those 3 people we lost in the last 4 years. Aug 5th Lisa( sister-in-law) Aug.10th Mom and Aug.16th Brian( our niece heathers fiancee,he died last week).Also it looks like dad and the kid will be leaving around the 3rd week of the month.

jaxs

a friend of our niece gave her a dog. hes pretty cool little dog. she named him jaxs(shes a fan of sons of anarchy)

a crazy in a motorized cart

i was at work the other night and this lady in a motorized cart comes up to me and asks do we have a cereal bowl that you put in the microwave. Well i showed her what we had and of course it wasn't what she wanted and she got pissed. she started saying this is fucked up and we are all fucking stupid she told me to say this store is fucking stupid(i wanted to but didn't) she kept saying the f word left and right and in between each one she started yelling out poppycock and poop.. lol...wtf..the other customers were giving me looks like i feel so sorry for you.. then after her tirade she told me well since you did try to help me ill pray for you..lol..i left after that.a co-worker came up to me and said this lady in the cart comes into the store and causes all kinds of trouble. apparently there is a couple of male co-workers she likes and she harasses and gropes them, has her hands all over them. telling them just cause my husband is here doesn't mean we cant fool around... WTF is wrong people
Then this lady wanted some help with neck pillow. she didn't understand the purpose of this pillow. i tried to explain and all she kept saying was she had neck problems and needed something but didn't understand this pillow. then all of a sudden there was all kinds of grumblings and noises coming from her direction, i honestly think she farted..lol. i got out of there as quick as i could..
Gina started working in the new store putting up shelves and and stuff like that. well a lot of these shelves you have to hit with a mallet to get them to fit.really you have to beat the shit out of them..lol..anyway they had all these people working on shelves. guess how many mallets they had..one..a multi- billion dollar company and they can only provide one mallet. lol..then had the balls to say why is taking so long for you guys to finish the shelves..man i love our place of employment.

cheap bastards

so you know Gina has been "training" at a store other then the one she will work at. well on Monday she starts working in the new store. so today everyone that is new like Gina they had go and meet up with the management of new store. well you would think it would be at the new store.. nope, they had them all meet up at this unmarked, empty building Gina called it an abandoned building.. well i just got a text message from her saying they got all the employees sitting on the floor, no chairs.. cheap bastards.. first they get sent to an abandoned building and now they got to sit on the floor for four hours..only our place of employment would do shit like this..lol..

work-why did i have to open that box

ok at work tonight i was cleaning up the luggage area and we have pouches that come in a box..well i picked one up and noticed it seemed empty. I was thinking why would someone steal this. anyway i open the box and find the bit of hair in the picture below. i don't know if its a hair extension, a weave or midgets toupee..then i was in the break room on a break and employee comes in wearing a chain mail shirt.i figured ok he will probably change out of it before going out on floor to work..well about ten mins after my break i spot him on the floor working still wearing that chain mail shirt. lol.. i didnt get a pic wish i did.. i wonder if management saw him.

the past week or so

wheres what we have been up to since last post. Gina started orientation at a different store then she will be working in. she finishes up there this Sunday then on Monday she will be at new store 7-4 mon-fri.until new store gets built. then not sure what her schedule will be after that. as for me i have been sick as a dog for this last week. had to even call in at work one day. i was coughing so bad i think i bruised a rib,they hurt so bad.my upper back hurt to just breath in and out. It was bad. but am doin better now. still have a small cough tho.
dad found a place to buy in Oregon, its in escrow now. there's about 20 days until he and the kid move out.

first 3 days

so i just completed my first 3 days of work. they had me doing the 2-11 shift( i hate that shift)..anyway im working in the homelines departments.. which is domestics(bathroom stuff,towels,shower curtains,sheets that kinda thing),housewares(kitchen appliances,kitchen gadgets dishes,trash cans that kinda thing) furniture, and we help out in hardware...WTF!!!...why does homelines cover so many areas.. fucking ridiculous.. on my 3rd night i was the only one working those areas.. what a night..u wouldn't believe how many towels i folded. lol..
I was cleaning up the picture frame aisle and this one women says to me i love your grey hair( i'm thinking to myself damn is my grey hair getting that bad..lol..) she was like your grey goes from top to bottom and mine is only a patch of grey..shes told me my hair will look great when it goes completely salt and pepper..lol..then she told me it sucks you have to work the 4th but you are getting holiday pay right.. told her no..im new so i dont get the yet. have to work 6months b4 that happens.. she said so they do treat you guys bad here.. well im sending all kinds of good vibes your way..lol..you have a good night she said and then walked away...
Then i go on lunch break. went to the McDonalds that inside the store(which i shouldn't do..i hate McDonalds it always makes me sick but stupid me does anyway..lol)I'm sitting there eating my mcchicken and people watching and i noticed this family of four minding their business eating their food and this old woman comes and sits down next to them trying to convert them to her religion.. She was going on about god this god that. and they are trying to ignore her but the little girl kept making eye contact with the lady making her keep talking.. the parents tried to get the little girl to stop engaging the lady but no luck.. the lady rambled on a good 20 mins before the family got done eating and left..lol. i found that funny

We both have quit the stadium so we can try and get as many hours as possible at the new jobs.i walked out of orientation yesterday and im looking around for gina and the car and notice in the parking lot a big bus that was painted with Jesus loves you on the sides..lol...it begins again..lol...

so just finished up orientation day one and they really changed the whole training process now.. i like this one no board game to play less propaganda videos to watch.. and now they had this whole page in our work books about social media and how commenting about where you work or anything to do with your work can get you fired..lol.. ok so i will not mention where i work but you all know where...lol..we finished up the work for today up early about 1pm so they gave us a blue shirt and put us to work in our departments.fun stuff...tomorrow day two..

First day orientation..this is a lot differnt from the first time i went through this

job

well... on Monday Gina got a call to come in for interview today for the new walmart they are opening up in Anaheim..they were hiring like 200+ people guaranteeing only 120 days of work..guess they are going to weed out people. but if she does well,which she will, they will keep her on. looks like in the dairy dept. she did her drug test today. they told her they are going to call her back in about 2 weeks. after all 200+ peoples drug test come back. ..then on Tuesday this week i get a call from the walmart in Huntington beach to come in for an interview yesterday. i got a part time job in housewares.ill be folding towels and moving toasters that kinda thing. i'm glad we both got calls for work but to be honest i'm not to thrilled. this will be the first time we will be apart..just thinking about it right now upsets me. dont know if will be able to handle this. i dont know how to be just Tina..to work in a place with out Gina.. i can see myself sabotaging this job

WTF!!...seriously why do people got to invade my 3 feet of personal space you know.. i hate that shit.. and to touch my hair, that's fucking creepy.,.then since i just scanned tickets i got off work at 8:30pm or so and then i had to wait for Gina who's there the whole game..which went into extra innings so there i sat for 3 hours by employee entrance door waiting...fun night..lol..anyway we are still doing the gym up to a half hour now.. we get to almost a mile and a half in the half hour. soo... hows everyone doing?

today

did the gym thing again tonight..feel good..got a second wind. The people at gyms are funny.. there was this one lady that had the incline on her treadmill all the way up and she was holding on to the bars above her head in order to stay on the thing. but she was so short her legs barley hit the conveyer belt.. she kinda looked like a monkey swinging on this thing..hope I'm explaining this clearly cause that shit was funny. there was a lot of people there tonight too.one guy got on the machine next to me and started out jogging, he had to stop every 5 seconds or so(totally stop the machine) to cough up a lung. i was thinking to myself great i come to the gym to improve my health and I'm going to wind up catching some disease and dying right her on the treadmill.lol..
i solved my v-cube 7x7 again today.. it took me only 2 days this time to do(started the second solve yesterday) lots better the 6 days it took for the first solve..currently working on my third solve.i almost have it down. might get it done before going to bed tonight.

after6 days

after 6 days of trying i finally solved the v-cube 7x7...now time to scramble it up and try again..

day2

ok..just got home from gym..did 20mins on the treadmill with a slight incline..

i named it

ok..so added some more bands to the ball.. i think i have finaly come up with a name for the ball, Orion..what do you think?what would you name it.

just signed up

we signed up at our local gym.. just got home from our first workout..think this is gonna be a good thing..

twins

ok so we are sitting here and we both burped at the same time..lol..we probably have done that before but we both looked at each other like wtf...like its never happened before..

gina will be pissed off at me

gina will be pissed of at me when she realizes i posted this..her and bags taking a nap..lol..

my new toy

its a 7x7 cube. working on solving it now. i can solve now a 2x2,3x3,4x4,5x5,and working on the 7x7. im just missing the 6x6.

work

last night they had me "train" to be a ticket taker.i enjoyed it more then ushering. i like that im basically one foot away from the parking lot or "freedom"..lol..can make a quick getaway if needed. hopefully i can do ticket taking more then ushering.i just dont have the patience to deal with the people when i have to usher.still not getting many days to work..on a 7 day home stance i only get 2-3 days or so. they have a sign up sheet to be called to come in if anyone calls in sick.. no luck there for me. Gina is working most of the days which is nice at least we will have some money coming in.hopefully we find another job soon. i only worked 4 hours last night so had to wait around a couple hours for Gina to get off work.. kinda sucks.. but i did see the train pull into the station a few times. i swear one of these days we are just going to leave work and hop on the train and take off for awhile. anyway that's how works been going.

??

we were driving around the other day and spotted this... its a vw van with the top of a vw bug on top..we saw a vw van that looked like a brick of cheese(tillamook i think)..didnt a pic of that one..looked it up online it looked like this one click here

more vegas photos

update:vegas

so we left Friday for Vegas. it took us like 5 hours to get there,we only did one pit stop at state line, didn't check in till midnight.we dropped our bags off and head right to the observation deck of the stratosphere(that's where we stayed).it was really cool we saw people on the roller coasters up there and doing the tethered free fall thing.. amazing view of the city.we gambled a bit in the stratosphere and looked around .we got to bed about 2-3am..up by 8am Saturday.we went to few casinos and looked around treasure island,Venetian,circus circus.
we went to circus circus because that's where we use to stay when we would go with our mom to Vegas. She use to play the same slot machine and just that machine. We went looking for it. we couldn't find it at first.but we did and i dropped 5 dollars in there and that 5 bucks turned into 200..that made the trip right there, not so much the 200 bucks but that we found the slot machine she would always play and got to play it.
At the Venetian our niece and her boyfriend want to ride the gondola but the line was to long so walked around in there kind of a neat place. we stopped at the Godiva chocolate place and got chocolate covered strawberries..we also walked around treasure island which was ok.
we then went to Fremont street. There are some freaky ass people hanging out there. lol.got to see the lights and people riding the zip lines through there. we went to binions casino and took our pictures with 1 million bucks that they have on display.
saw the shark tank at the golden nugget.when we had enough of the craziness of Fremont street we headed back to stratosphere. We were going to head back one more time to the observation deck but were to tired.we ordered room service for dinner.Then we went and got a 3-4 foot tall margarita..lol..it contained a test tube full of rum that emptied into margarita as we drank it..lol..
we got up and headed out by 9am to head back home.. it only took us 3.5 hours to get home. we stopped in barstow for breakfast.all -in all had a great time.following are some pics dont have them all uploaded yet, will post them later

vegas 2011

fireworks

so at work on Friday nights they have fireworks at end of the games.. this last Friday i only worked 4 hours so had to wait around till Gina got off work and i got to have a front row seat to the fireworks..kinda cool..only had my cell phone to take pics with heres a few of them

dont know if i mentioned

we are going to Vegas April 15-17th..cant wait..it will be nice to be somewhere else for a few days.we are going with our niece and her boyfriend.we have been making a list of things we each want to see.. no one wants to go with me to see the worlds largest coke bottle at the world of coca-cola..lol..

job interview today

so just got back from job interview today at Michael's in Huntington beach. it all went well had a good vibe about it until he tells me what the job is.. once a week( yeah once a week) from 3am-till about 9am emptying the truck for 8.50.. the pay rate doesn't bug me but once a week..he says if i work really hard i could get in to a position of stocking everyday in the early morning. how can i prove im a hard worker for just one day a week. he also said he doesn't like employees talking about anything other then work. oh and the truck doesn't get emptied on the truck dock in the back of store..no the truck pulls up to front of store in the parking lot and we would empty from there...wtf.. so at the butt crack of dawn we will be emptying truck and probably be harassed by the interesting people that hang out in parking lots at 3am..fun stuff.and he is trying to have 20 people do this job so he can get the truck done and stocked in under 5 hours. so i would be making what a bout 20 bucks a week..the guy was douche bag too.. back to square one.

fuck chase

ok so you all know how we hate our bank..well they gave us an even more reason to hate them..we got an email from them saying some people hacked in to their systems and got a hold of information..they are saying its just our email address they got but i dont know if i believe that that's all they got...

Then had to go back to work for a "training" thing.. all i heard was in 2002 an escalator out of the blue tripled its speed and injured like 22 people..lol..also someone asked us to name off disabilities that people have.. someone at the end of table said death..would you rank that as a disability?..this thing lasted 2 hours and that's all i heard..lol..i think i was asleep..lol..speaking of which im going to bed...blog again later...

day2 stadium

highlights of the night...i was put in left again..i don't like it to much out there. tonight was against the dodgers. i found myself surrounded by drunk dodger fans..fun stuff.
i saw this one guy who was walking around like his shit don't stink, trying to strut his stuff around..lol.. as he was walking away i noticed he still had the sticker on back leg of his jeans that shows the size of the jeans..lol..what a dumb ass.
then the moths in left field were insane.. those fuckers where huge.they were like the size of babies.. i thought they were going to start taking people away..lol
Gina got to train today going from gate to gate.. at one gate she was at guys from above started throwing the plastic Budweiser cups that light up down at the people below. the cups shattered when the hit the ground.
i saw the Amtrak train a few times tonight.. every time i saw it i so wanted to be on the train on an adventure, seeing new places.traveling..

ducks game

went to the ducks game tonight with our niece and her boyfriend..had a great time. only thing was these assholes that sat behind us. so fucking obnoxious every 5 seconds yelling something stupid .. they liked the word aardvark cause they said that one a lot of times..if your drunk at a sporting event you don't look or sound cool you look and sound like a fucking idiot...Ducks won selane got a hat trick.

ear update

here's an updated pic of gina's ear..swelling has come down a lot

the ear revolt

gina's ear today just out of the blue swelled up and shot out her plug..we think it might have been an allergic reaction to something cause she started to get hives on her face too.she has been putting hot and cold compress on it for about an hour plus now and took allergy pill and it seems to be doing the trick.
