Real Men Change Tampon

…Bags. Hey, somebody has to do it.

Apparently, we’re in the middle of a snowstorm. When I was a kid, we had snowstorms. This? This is a pushover! Okay, okay, maybe I’m being a little silly. Panera actually closed early, at 4 PM. We had no customers by then. Somehow, I ended up closing bathrooms really early. We had a lot of time on our hands, so Andrew started dolling out side-projects.

I spend a good amount of time grout-scrubbing the area outside of the bathroom – and then inside the bathrooms themselves. There’s just something amusing me about cleaning around the area where girls take dumps. Among other things I’d rather not think about.

Somehow, I agreed to work out my shift (until 6 PM) by detail cleaning. I really need to stop saying yes. Eh, I won’t get into that.

Apparently, all these hours that I’m piling up is bad. I do deserve overtime for last Saturday. I don’t really deserve overtime for working six days this week. Steve asked if it was okay if he shifted the excess hours from this week to the next. It’s not really Steve’s decision. Steve’s just looking to make sure the people over him don’t give him shit. Man, I would never want to be a GM. Every last thing that goes wrong is your fault.

I should have just walked back from Panera. There’s an ordinance in the condo complex that you have to park on the street so the plows can get through the parking lot slash garage area. I ended up having to park on the complete other side of the complex. So glad I was dressed for the occasion. I love walking in a snowstorm.

I somehow doubt I’m working tomorrow. If the bakers don’t get in tonight, we’ll have no bread. Or pastries. Which means we’ll have nothing to sell, unless we put all our sandwiches on french bagettes. : D

Oh, this guy got SO pissed off today because we ran out of bagels. I swear, by noon, almost all our bagels were gone. I think it was by 1 PM that we sold them all out. Completely, I’ve never seen that before.

The TV just said “GET DOWN!”

… Only my parents watch TV. Wendi and I amuse ourselves other ways. Well, except for the Simpsons. My dad finds Seinfeld funny. I could, except for the fact that the show has been completely driven into the ground, for me. It’s just not that funny.

*sips lemonade*

That’s right, I carried a cup of lemonade home in a snowstorm. Hey, it tastes good no matter what weather.

Uh, I’m going to eat a second dollar chimichanga.

dude that lemonade IS good! it tastes like the stuff i always had as a kid. 🙂

those baguettes are the best! and also, the snowstorms are lame. they’re pansy.

its really windy here.. but no snow, alas, how boring we are here in cape. 🙁

January 22, 2005

How could you sell out of bagels? *giggles* Maybe the guy was a bagel junkie and needed his fix…=)

I can relate to the weak “snowstorms.” Where I grew up, in northern Maine, a snowstorm was 10 ft. of snow and -45 degree temperatures, and no one so much as blinked. Here, if we get so much as a light dusting, the whole state shuts down. *rolls eyes* Pussies.

You and your chimichangas. Do you have sour cream?

January 22, 2005

i agree on the seinfeld thing. yep. and lemonade totally does rock.

We have a Panera in the mall I work in. Our mall closed at 4pm too. It was nice… although I was supposed to work until 6pm and my boss said I had a long week ahead of me, so she let me go at 2:30pm. Yaaaaay… but I wanna go out tomorrow!!

My favorite lemonade is the fresh squeezed kind you get at the fair and at the beach. YUM

hahah. sounds like my complex back home. nazi condo associations, those.

They were calling this a blizzard even last night (the more panic-mongering, overestimating weathercaster was, anyway). I don’t get it. It’s snow, yeah. It’s a pretty good amount of snow, too. But it’s not like it was a coupla years ago, when it was REALLY a blizzard — it’s not like we’ve gotten two feet in a coupla hours, or anything. Wimps.

I learned first-hand that people need their goddamn bagels.

RYN: *laughs!* How interesting! There’s an extra leg, and he’s a male. =) Thanks for sharing.

unasked-for advice: You’re being seriously screwed by your GM. OT exists for a reason- to prevent employers from screwing employees. In case you haven’t been watching the news, WalMart, Target,Walgreens,and a host of other companies are currently being sued under FEDERAL law for doing exactly what your boss is doing to you. You should stand up for your rights (and your money!).

RYN: I do remember that one. I got out of school early because of it, and I had to actually shovel the driveway because my mom was going to be home before my dad and they didn’t want the deep snow to mess up the front end of her car. That sucked. I didn’t shovel out enough before she got home, either, and then we took turns shoveling. Actually, ’02-’03 was pretty harsh, at least here, what with

those two blizzards back to back. It was worse out west, ’cause that was when Buffalo got 7 feet all at once. But yeah, last year wasn’t so bad, and this year hasn’t been, either *knocks on wood*.

mmmm lemonade!Girls bathrooms can be nasty hehe.Maybe I just think that cause I went to public school in Queens for most of my childhood?Samies

I love snow.

Maybe the guy who got so pissed at the bagel shortage (Fear! Fire! Foes! No bagels!) should clean the toilettes filles with all its attendant poo and tampon detritus. Madness.

January 23, 2005

Well, I suppose I could hazard a guess and say that most girls– if given the option– would elect NOT to take dumps in public toilets. Therefore, your bathroom cleaning duties are most likely done in the place where girls take pees. So sorry to disappoint! *snarky grin*

Good reason to own a SUV. I’m out shoveling (well, using a snow thrower) trying to get through 2 feed of frozen slush where the plows had pushed it off the road. My neighbor got in his SUV and just backed through it several times. When he was finished he had just a few inches left on the ground to clean by hand. I think he’s lucky he didn’t break his mufflers or tailpipes.

Great… now I’m hungry. AGAIN! 🙂

Having no personal experience in the working world, I can’t really give solid advice on this, but I’d hafta agree with…. whoever said you’re getting screwed on your overtime. My dad lost overtime he built up over months because his employers pulled stuff like that… I hate lemonade. What the point of taking something really, really sour and making it sweet? It ruins the point of lemons.

January 23, 2005

I take it you’re fond of lemonade? I haven’t seen snow in about five years. I used to have fun with it.

Just curious… Why did you tell that guy who had just broken up qith his boyfriend… And was Sad.. That he didnt know what love is?? Can you please just explain that to me??? BEFORE I go all defence mechanism styles… Thanks…
