The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I was driving home from work when all of a sudden my radio/cd player thingie blacks out. And I have a cd in there! What the hell. It all just went black with no warning! This can't be good. Now I have to call my service guy tomorrow and have him peek under my hood...my CAR hood, all you pervs, shame on you.

Mine blacked out a couple of months ago. The radio still works but the little LCD info panel doesn't. I think the cold killed it! :(

It could just be an internal fuse in the player as apposed to one of the car fuses. So don't get caught by a big bill!!

It's Prom season. High school prom is this weekend, and other schools' proms are around this time also. A few weeks ago, a women's group here snitched an idea off the internet about donating prom dresses and accessories for girls who can't afford them...which in and of itself is a great idea. I had a ball at my prom, dancing and hanging out with my friends. Yes I had a date...a gay guy, which was wonderful, took the pressure off us and we both had fun.



Anyway, I digress.



We were wondering who was going to clean the 150-plus dresses they said they had collected. The dresses were supposed to be cleaned no later than Thursday, so the girls could get them in time for prom Saturday night.



Today...in walks a woman from the group who collected the dresses, asking us if we would be willing to clean all those dresses for free.



Turns out the cleaner who did it last year refused to do it again because all the dresses were dropped off at the last minute, and his staff had to work overtime to get all those dresses, plus their own usual cleaning done on time. The ladies were getting desperate, as other cleaners had turned them down also....now bear in mind these dresses are damn filthy, not having been cleaned since the last prom or whenever they were worn last. They had puke, punch, cake, bbq sauce, blood, and a LOT of dirt all over them.



If we had gotten these about a week ago, which was when the dresses were collected, it would have been no problem. We could have done several a day and got them done with our regular cleaning. We had to explain to the woman that it would not be possible to get that many dresses....as dirty as they were...cleaned in time for the girls to pick them up. We could do mabe 30 or 40...but not 150.



This woman bawled right in our call office. "Oh I know I'm late...I've been so busy...but you MUST get them cleaned....the girls are counting on you..."



No, we need a LOT more time. These are filthy. We ended up phoning the two other cleaners in the area and we split up the dresses so we all got about a third to clean. We also told the woman that next year, we need them by a certain time....it is NOT fair to dump a load on a company who is busy anyway. Yes we want to help out the community, but lordy. Some of those dresses were used to change oil filters, I'm sure....how the hell do you get that dirty at prom?



Never mind, lol.

Can't argue with that. While the woman has a sweet idea in mind, you can't fly by the seat of your pants and leave probably the most difficult task to the last minute and dump it on someone else.

We had a group collect prom dresses where I live as well. But the stipulation was that they had to be cleaned before they were dropped off. It was done a month before prom season started. It worked out well. The girls getting the dresses also got beauty supplies and tips for free.

When a business closes at 6 pm, wouldn't you normally get there and complete your business before the closing time? Or would you, like 5 of our customers tonight, pull into the parking lot at 5:59 and sit there and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk on their cell phones, paying absolutely no attention to the fact that we have shut the lights off and locked the door and pulled the shades down?



These winners finally twigged to what was going on at about 6:10. Most nights we are well and gone by that time, but being Monday I had some things I had to do, so I was there later than usual.



They all came rushing for the door, and I let them in, and they were all SO SORRY that they didn't know what time it was.....3 of the 5 didn't have any way to pay for their orders but wanted their clothes anyway (no way) one went back out to her car and proceeded to dig around for MORE CLOTHES....thus making me wait more...then when she FINALLY came back in with them she announced that she wanted them right away the next day!



Well. This lady was on the naughty list, which means customers who ask for their clothes on a next day rush order but NEVER come to get them. This bird still has clothes here from before Christmas and I reminded her of this, and told her she had to pick all of those up and get her account up to date before we would clean any more clothes.



Well. She proceeded to throw a tantrum, but just as she was swinging into top volume a police car rolls up. They have been keeping a closer watch on us since the incident a couple weeks ago, and when the office came in and asked if this lady was giving us trouble and I said yes....you should have seen her face. Love it.



The officer said....get this...we ought to post a sign saying we will not accept any orders after 6 pm. I said we close at 6....they should KNOW by reading that, that we don't accept any orders past that time! He said sometimes you need to make it real plain to some people.



America, we are dumbing down. Someone told us that we have no yellow arrows painted on our drive thru, so therefore the customer has no way of knowing which way to pull in! Um, we have a HUGE sign on the side of the building pointing the way....which no one can see, apparently. Arrows on the drive way would do the trick.



Sheesh. And the full moon is coming, which means shit will just get weirder and weirder....HELP ME!!!

The amazing amount of stupidity that we as customer service people have to put up with all in the name of business never fails to astound me. And it isn't just your job or mine, it is across the board. From Bartender (me) to dry cleaning (you0 to computer sales (Birra) it is rampant that people have taken "The customer is always right" and turned it into "I can do whatever the fuck I want and you just have to take it".



Well, I for one object most strenously...lol



And I always wonder what these self same people would do if I walked into their place of business and acted the same way they did.

Here's another winning profile description from another site I go to. This one sounds vaguely illegal, so I'm wondering if he gets any responses.



"Here's what I offer: I will pick you up on a Friday night. I will allow you to send a picture of me and the car's registration (this is a guy from the UK so I suppose he means license plate number). Once inside, you will be blindfolded, cuffed and gagged (make sure you have been toilet before we meet). When at my place, you will walk in and wait. Any movement will be punished. Orders will be instantly followed (limits already discussed) and any hesitation will result in punishment. For the entire weekend you will be under my control. You will be blindfolded at all times and have no say in what I decide to do to you. All limits will be observed but please understand this, you have no choice once in my control. On Sunday I will return you to your car, train etc. and release you."



He sounds serious, doesn't he? Geez.

And the worst thing? People rating this guy a 10 and leaving comments like "great profile". ACK! Dude, if you looked more like...oh, I don't know....Birra maybe....the speedo would be appropriate...and the little knob poking out just looks like you dropped a giant marshmallow down there.

Scratch that...I would LOVE some down time. I need time away from roast beef flushing parentals, psycho customers, steam and clothes full of shit.



I have plans for this Saturday. I am going to sleep in, do a little shoe shopping (I desperately need some new work shoes, I keep wearing them out) and just plain relax. I might take a nice nap on the sofa.

Any day that starts with my boss' dad flushing a five pound beef roast down the toilet...is going to be just bizarre. And it was.



We had locked the kitchen door because my boss' parents were constantly in there, stealing food and so on, so I got the only key and things were fine. HOWEVER....the other day my boss decided HE wanted a key, to go in there in the morning and make coffee. Well.



He left the door open, and his dad got right in and found the roast I was going to cook for lunch today. When I arrived and walked in the back door, past the bathroom, I peeked in to see if anyone was in there and there was Papou, water and chunks of raw roast all over the bathroom floor and him furiously trying to stuff it down the can. I screamed for my boss and he came a running, but by then it was too late and the whole roast was in the toilet, which was plugged up and overflowing.



Papou was so pissed off, he kept saying "The meat is not cooked! It is bad! I throw it out!" "DAMMIT" I yelled "it wasn't COOKED yet, I was gonna cook it for lunch TODAY and now it's GONE!" Then I grabbed my boss' lunchroom key, so now I have both of them. What a mess...we had to call a plumber to unplug the toilet. Raw meat and whatnot all over the floor. AcK!



The rest of the day was pretty calm after that, actually. Really now, how many of you can claim to have seen a whole roast flushed down a toilet?



They need to truck my boss' dad out to a rest home. Really.

I made it through the work day with no problems. The guy didn't show up again. My boss called to see how I was doing, and he told me there were officers in the area so if I needed anything just dial 911. I said "what if he comes in and shoots me and I can't call out?" He said "Don't be ridiculous."PFFT. That stuff happens all the time. You aren't fooling me. Someone could drive by, see me at the counter, whip out a gun and pop me off without even slowing down.



Anyway, the worst thing I had to deal with was an anal-retentive woman who wanted to know EXACTLY when her pants would be done. I mean to the minute. I said they would be ready Tuesday, and she said "What TIME Tuesday? 7 am? Noon? 2.30? You need to be more specific because I only take my car out once a day and I won't come out if they aren't ready." I said ok, I would have them done Monday, so anytime she came on Tuesday, her pants would be done.



"Well, what TIME Monday then? You need to be more specific, this is ridiculous, you can't tell me a time." She was rolling.



I said "Tuesday. The pants will be done Tuesday. ANYTIME TUESDAY. OK? Anytime that we are open on Tuesday, they will be done and ready for you."



"But..but you said they would be done MONDAY!! MAKE YOUR MIND UP!!"



About now I was ready to shove those pants straight up her ass. "The pants will be processed Monday. I can't say exactly what time Monday they will be done, but they WILL be done for you on Tuesday."



She went out the door saying "Boy, it's hard to find a dry cleaner that knows what they're doing."



These people ought to be forced to work in public service for awhile, and let them see what kind of douchebags we put up with on a daily basis.



I'm going fishing THIS weekend. Heh.

POST COMMENT

Fine weekend for my boss to take a fishing trip. We had a customer who scared the crap out of me, and the police were sooooooooo slow in coming that he got away before they got there! Nice one, guys.



This new customer came in, a young black guy, wearing all these gold chains and high priced jeans. Dropped off an order of clothes. About 4 hours later he comes back and says he left some money in his coat pocket. Well, I know he didn't, since I checked in his order, but he wanted to see the clothes anyway, so I got them out and he checked them over.



He wouldn't say how much money he was missing, which made me suspicious, because the coat pocket wasn't that deep and couldn't have held much. Then he said it was a LOT of money, and had it fallen out outside (which I suggested might have happened) it would have blown all over the place. Cripes, how much money are we talking here, a Brinks' truck worth?



I suggested he go home and re trace his path. Nine times out of ten, when people do this, they find the thing they are missing, either on the floor or in the car or someplace. Well, this guy was the tenth person. He insisted we had his money. I insisted we did not. "Well," he said, "I will just have to call the police, or come back and do something."



Fine, you do that. Soon as he was out the door I phoned the police. They said they would send someone "right out" . That turned out to be almost an hour later. The name and phone number the guy gave me for his order turned out to be non-existant, and the police were very interested in this person, but he had gone.



I phoned my boss, who was a little irritated that I was interrupting his fishing, but what the hell.

It's his business, he should know what is going on! He didn't seem overly concerned that a big black guy was going to come back and "do something", but I was pooping in my pants, so I had a friend come and hang around when I closed the store and walked out to my car.



The guy will probably come back tomorrow. I told the police officer that if he comes back again I am going to dial 911 and SOMEBODY better get out here quick. Cripes. While he was interviewing me, his radio kept going off, and I heard people reporting barking dogs and brokend down cars! That shit can wait...what if the guy came back and tried to rob me? The officer couldn't come because he was investigating a dog barking? WTF.



I hope tomorrow is uneventful, but something tells me it won't be.

I've never had an officer show up in a timely manner when I actually needed them...it makes you feel pretty un-safe, I know. I hope he doesn't come back and it all works out.

The next time you have to call the cops, throw in the words, "...and I think he's got a gun!" You'll be surprised how quickly they show up. ;)

Reminds me, my former neighbors had outside dogs... like six of them. They barked constantly, day and night. I never called the police even though I was very tempted to.



I had a sand volleyball court that I could put up lights on and play at night. The first time I had a party, and honestly it was rather subdued, dontchya know the town police were in my driveway at 11PM sharp to respond to a complaint about the "noise" we were making.



That's people for ya.

Holy shit! I'd be afraid too.

And it's 'comforting' to know that a barking dog call is a higher priority than your call, right?

Hey Sinora, I finally opened that packet of Diddly Dip. Not quite sure if I did what I was supposed to with it, but since it didn't come with instructions or even an illustration on the packet of kids using it....I went with my instincts.



One side was a white candy stick about as long as my index finger, labeled LIK-A-STIX. The other side was some powdered candy, Americans will know what I mean when I say it tastes like a crushed up Sweet Tart, cherry flavor. Apparently you lick the stick, dip it into the cherry candy, and then lick it off.



So I did that, even took a nibble of the stick but it was a very bland vanilla flavor...who knows, maybe I wasn't supposed to eat that bit and I will have a raging bellyache later. But, at least I solved the mystery of...the Diddly Dip!

Nearly forgot to get this down for posterity...the curse of the shit gifts has struck again.



While my boss was lolling on the beaches of California he phoned to ask what I wanted him to bring me back for a souvenir. I pondered saying something like "How about two weeks off with pay?" but knew that would never fly, so I said " a t shirt would be fine, XL please" (because knowing him he'd buy it from some roadside stand and it would shrink to a doll's size after the first wash).



He comes back and proudly holds out....a coat. Just like the one he has on, only black. A coat? It looked pretty small, so I looked at the size. Medium. And it was a MAN'S coat! I got one arm in, and couldn't get the other one in, the shoulders were too narrow. No way I could zip it up. I looked at my boss and he was scratching his head. "That's funny, it fits me just fine," he said. I handed it to him. "Then YOU wear it, because it doesn't fit me." He then lectured me on being a poor sport, it was the thought that counted, etc.



WTF!!



What the hell. I was just so amazed and more than a little pissed off. Would rather have had nothing than something I can't do anything with.



Sheesh.

Why do people look at profiles but don't rate? Are they thinking...."nahhh...not really worth my while"?

That seems to be happening a lot lately. I messaged one person (female) who kept looking but not rating me, and she said she was trying to figure out if I was male or female! I guess the big "FEMALE" word under "gender" was confusing.



I have a theory on this. People who look but don't rate are sort of shopping. Looking for a possible love connection, and if you aren't their cup of tea, off they go without bothering to rate.

I sometimes look at a profile only after reading a journal, or after seeing a forum post made by that person, just to learn more about them. Rating.... Isn't really important.

I feel this leaves a feeling of paranoia nested deeply within the owner of the profile I have just visited.

Eww...I never thought of it that way. I get a lot of lookey-loos that don't rate either...worse, they don't rate, but want to start chattin' and shit...male and female. And they keep biting...WTF?

And - like you said before - maybe they think that my profile just sucks, and they don't want to hurt my delicate feelings.



They could at least rate you - whatever - right?

One of the items in my birthday box of sweets was a little packet that has baffled me. In bold letters on the front it states: WONKA CHERRY YUM DIDDLY DIP.



What IS that? I don't remember having that when I was a kid. But then, I didn't have a diddly either. :P

If there was ever a day I was glad I did not have kids, today was the day. My boss' two nephews came by, along with their mother, and immediately they got into stuff. It must be VERY difficult for teen-age boys to stand still for more than a few seconds at a time.



They decided to be monkeys, and leaped up and grabbed hold of some pipes to swing on them. Well, they forgot we are a dry cleaners that uses STEAM...VERY VERY HOT STEAM....yes they burned themselves pretty badly, but aside from that, their weight caused the pipe to break, steam all over the damn place, and we had to shut everything down for two hours to let the pipe cool down enough to be repaired. Sheesh.



Then my boss' three teenage daughters started in. They phoned him one after the other for about an hour straight, whining about not wanting to go to grandma's for Easter..they all wanted to stay home to text, chat, etc. whatever with their boyfriends. Never mind that they only get to see Grandma a couple times a year (and she's a nice lady, I've met her). Whining and whining and whining untill my boss finally lost his cool and shouted at them to do whatever the hell they wanted, he didn't care anymore. After he calmed down, I looked at him and said "You know what? When you do that, they win." "I know," he said, "but I can't take that whining all the time." "So you can't just tell them we are going to Grandma's and that is it?" I asked. He looked at me like I told him to go shit in his hat. "You don't know what it's like to have kids," he told me.



Rounding off the day, my other boss' 3 year old came by with her mom and was wandering around while I was waiting on a customer. She toddled up to the desk and announced to the lady I was serving :"You know what? My cooter tingles when I rub it."



*dies*



I am SO glad I didn't reproduce.

But kids do the say the darnedest things at the most in appropriate times. They just say what is on their minds. Gotta love them.
