Happy First Sunday of 2012

Instead of Happy New Year like the other millions of people say LOL

I’m such a party girl. I was in bed last night before the crack of midnight. In my defense I was up at 6:30 that am for work so by 11 pm I was fading fast. Kinda feel bad but not bad enough to stay up. It’s only a silly ball dropping anyway.

I’m getting so antsy for a vacation. I need a break. Working in retail is so exhausting during the Christmas season. Some of you may remember I started working retail about 5 years ago "just to help out" well that led to full time but not without requiring them to give me a raise. They offered me 5 dollars more per hour than I was making when I was "just helping out" so I decided to stay, plus benefits, 2 weeks paid vacation and yearly bonus but don’t think it’s all cookies and cream because it’s not. Retail sucks sometimes especially when customers think they are the shit and we should move mountains for them. How about a big EFF YOU if you think you are entitled. LOL especially the lady that smacked me in the arm yesterday when we did not have egg nog for her. I wish I was kidding but I’m not. It took everything I had in me to not knock her false teeth out of her ugly mouth.

I hope not a lot of my favs do the January survey thing. Sometimes those surveys are so damn long and the questions are so damn stupid. I will admit I usually skip reading those entries. Sorry.

2011 was a great year for a lot of my favs for different reasons and 2011 was a horrible year for a few of my favs. I hope 2012 is good to you all and you all are happy and healthy.

I am with you, I work in retail too and it is just crazy this time of year. I was writing an entry at midnight lol. Maybe that means I will be writing a lot of good things this year.

I think your title and background are the same colour because I can’t see it unless I highlight…just wanted to let you know in case you don’t know? lol I worked retail for many years and never want to go back. Sounds like the money is right for you though! I can’t believe some of the people and how they act!! I read about 10 surveys and then skimmed over them. I have some favs doingthe January Survey Month…ummm we just had NoJoMo and DePhoMo and I can’t believe they are NOW doing a survey a day…Crazy!! I hope 2012 is good to you 🙂

I like the odd survey, but can’t stomach much more than that. I mostly just skim over them. I can’t believe they are dedicating a whole month to surveys though! Who has the time?!? I worked Retail for many years and never plan on going back. I hated it. I just am not a sociable, chatty person. I find those people do the best in Retail. It must have been crazy busy for you over the holidays!

I still cannot get over the fact that woman hit you over not having any egg nog! What a bitch! I would have been pissed! Is she a regular customer of yours?

I can’t imagine doing retail with some of the assholes that inhabit this earth. Wow, good for you holding back on that bag. I hate the customer is always right mantra. No they effing aren’t Sometimes they are effing idiots. And I’ve never worked in retail, just shopped during the holidays, ugh. No surveys in my diary. But I did do a trite New Year’s Resolution entry. Feel free to skip. 🙂

I did work customer service though so I feel a bit of your pain.

Loser.

Retail gets crazier every year and people do too. I remember back in my retail days a man reached across the counter and grabbed me by the neck because his bacon rang up wrong. He didn’t say a word, just reached across and grabbed me. Retail can be downright scary sometimes.

Thank you and I promise you will see a 180 🙂 If you don’t, you have my permission to kick my ass lol. thanks for always reading xoxo

RYN: thank you! yes she was a very nice tech, she loved doing my first ultrasound since she’s seen me there for so many years trying 🙂

RYN: I need to get a routine down and get veggies and stuff all cut up on the weekends when Steve is here to entertain Olivia. I mean, sometimes I will eat quickly at 9 and then not again until 3 or 4. I know that isnt good for metabolism. And its not ME not to eat. But then I get frustrated because Im not losing so obviously I need to find the magic freakin number because I cant eat too much

since I gain weight so easily. So eating too little doesnt work either. But in reality Im probably not eating too little. I might not eat much all day but for the last 6 months we have been eating out fairly often so eating 1000+ calories at night is horrrrrrible.Just yesterday I was eating right so I saw that Im not eating enough.I should download that netdiary. could i peek at your menu that way

i would love to know a way to eat that works. its like ive lost all my ability to plan meals and eat right. odd lol. but i have no braincells left so it makes sense!
