The damn stomach pains are back. No doubt stress has a lot to do with it.
I got that unemployment appeal hearing tomorrow afternoon, and I am still waiting to see what my asshole landlord's next move is. The funny thing is that I'm more calm than I'd usually would be, as I no longer react to life's bullshit with piss and vinegar...if I did, I'd be more fucked up - physically and mentally.
Gotta' stay focused and calm...
More gems from the mouth of Mai (Don't forget the heavy Chinese accent):
On Big Momma's nodding off: "She hold her head up with her beeeg beeeg titties!"
On a customer who always comes in and talks her to death: "Oh God - I wish she would just shut the fuck up and go away - go away! She crazy - give me headache and the itches!"
On seeing an old woman sitting on her porch...without any underwear on: "Oh my God, Monique! It was sooo bad! It was all gray down there!"

Like .. skin, too? Is THAT what we have to look forward to?
Damn... The thought of old age is now starting to scare me!
*shudder* Can't *shudder* unsee *shudder*
Hahahaha I like Mai! =D
Yes - the college is back in full cray-cray swing now...and Big Momma must be really trying hard to get canned:
* Last week, during activities for Black History Month, there were a few speakers out in the quad. Some recounted historical events, some asked students to join the Occupy movement, and one unknown guy got up on the stage to rant and rave racist shit about the white man, ending in "Kill whitey!" before he was removed. No one knew who he was, or how he got access to the mike, but due to the incident, the Black Student Union - which was resposible for the day's event - was disolved. Wow.
* A few days ago, 'The Egyptian' came in to get a drink. He's called that due to the fact that the old guy wears an Egyptian get up - white clothes, a headdress, collar, bracelets, and a walking stick covered in snakeskin. He is a mean ol' sonofabitch too - especially to white and Asian people. A young student - white guy - commented to The Egyptian on how he liked his walking stick. The old bastard looked down at him and said something like "Do not address me, devil. Begone'...oh Lord. LOL.
* Big Momma is getting even worse. This week, she's done the following: Left carts behind the counters, so that I run into them while multi-tasking. My thighs got bruises thanks to her. I told her off about the carts yesterday, stating that it's dangerous to just leave them wherever, and not return them to where they belong. She apologized, ending with "I can only do so much..." in a whiny voice. Really, bitch?
Yesterday - a slow day, as most Fridays are - she was literally sleeping at her station. I just watched her for a few minutes...customers were shouting 'hello' and banging on the counter to wake her up. She took forever to ring them up. The icing on the cake was when she was sleeping AND eating potato chips. What the fuck?
Another retard thing she did...well, didn't do...She had the cocoa/espresso machine open puttering around...funny how an hour later, students were coming up to me to tell me that the machine was empty. I opened it up to see that 4 of the 5 cannisters were EMPTY! I refilled them. What the fuck was she doing when she was fuckin' around with the machine? Let me guess...the bitch was sleeping.
I know I am harsh when talking about her, but she does nothing to help herself, and wants pity. She'll get none from me. It isn't fair that she gets paid to do practically nothing.
Yesterday, I wanted to shove her fat ass to the floor when I saw her get an armload of food before she left for the day.
* Cops from the sheriff's department came in to ask us about a fight in the center. We didn't see or hear a fight, and were puzzled. One deputy stated that they got a call about an altercation over people fighting over genetically engineered food...oookay.
I hate hunting animals for sport...I'd never do it. With that said, there are a few people I'd like to hunt.
I imagine myself on a safari, where I'm taking aim at Big Momma with a shotgun.
I'm not a bad hunter - I take her down with my second shot. I envision her head mounted over the fireplace...
Yes - this woman has really worked my nerves this week, but I'll bitch and moan about it here later on.
COMMENTS
Just imagine her with an apple in her mouth.
Oh yuck...!
An apple in a pig's mouth is WAY more appealing.
I am going to learn how to shoot this year and hopefully get a gun :) I would partner up wth you anytime!!!
Big Momma isn't a pig?
*slowly tiptoes away in the other direction*
I would give a vital organ to see you hunt down that big assed whackadoo. LMAO.
Damn. You know that something is horribly wrong when your cats have bigger, stinkier shit than you do.
COMMENTS
It's all that Friskies Fiber. Makes em poop like that.
O.o
Was there corn?
o.O
LOL!!! my cats are the same way. hehehe.
Hmmm, something wrong with them or you? You got to be more specific. ;) LOL
Oh god...
EWWWW. lol.
I haven't been here in a few days, and unfortunately, there will be more gaps. I hate missing my time on VR, but real life dictates that I deal with the load of shit that needs some serious shoveling.
I miss chatting with my friends and browsing the journals!
I hope that everyone is well!
COMMENTS
I am going to miss you. Hopefully things will work out soon.
if you need to vent or want to keep in touch email is cagecrimson@yahoo.com
I don't have a cell.
:hug:
I hope your shovel is light :)
Hope you get all that shoveling done so you can come back to us soon.
Good luck. We'll be here when you get back!
*Big hugs*
...is work. It's fun most of the time, even though it is tiring, and I still want to throttle Big Momma.
* Big Momma is still a mess. She normally wears Crocs, as they are the few shoes that she can find that will fit. One day this week, she wore a dark blue one and a black one. She's still nodding off at any given moment, and she still eats tons of shit that will make her even fatter and kill her. She's still lazy; instead of keeping her own supply of stuff up, she eithers takes a few steps to take someone else's rather than make an effort to actually walk to the stockroom.
One day this past week, she actually had the nerve to send her customers to me for cutlery, as she ran out of hers, and never bothered to restock. Good grief...
* On Tuesday, it was just Big Momma and I for about 5 hours. (I opted not to take a break - she took two). Of course, you know who was running around trying to do everything. I got a much-needed boost from a customer, who came to my side while I was making coffee (while the line was growing, thanks to slow-assed Big Momma). He said "You are the best person working in this place. You are fast and efficient, and always polite. When I come in, I'm always relieved to see you working."
That made my day/week...!
COMMENTS
It is those customers who let you know that you are appreciated and that in fact you are the reason they still give their business that make it worthwhile.
Well...the landlord IS a fucklord. I got a notice, which doesn't surprise me. Nevermind that the asshole could have accepted the rent payment from another party - a reputable govt' agency too...so, I'm just biding my time. Waiting to get a consensus on how many months I can stay here before an actual court date. I figure - stay for free and save up money to go elsewhere before my credit gets fucked up with an eviction on record.
Just FYI: I owe no back rent- just this month. You'd think that the asshole would just kick back and wait for the rent with the high $95.00 late fee. It's not like I'm a habitually late payer; with this month and maybe 2-3 spaced out times in the ELEVEN years I've rented from this guy, I've always paid on time, if not earlier. Go figure...
Well - the good thing is that my boss, her husband, and her two sons will help me move when it's time. When Stan - the head boss - found out about my predicament, he said that he'd help too, by getting a truck!
Maybe there IS a silver lining in this dark cloud.
COMMENTS
Some people are such assholes. I hope you can find something affordable soon.
I'm so very sorry to read about this. My god. That landlord deserves a special place in Hell.
I actually feel some relief, which is wierd, given that stuff is pretty fucked up right now.
People who should NEVER EVER EVER be turned into vampires:
- Twilight fans

- People who eat too much

but think of the laugh factor in it if they were lol
well we could get a twilight fan to sparkle and cut on the eletric bill for lights
LMAO. You're 100% right. I can also think of so many more to add to this list lol. :P
I made a new friend yesterday. Her name is Phyllis, and she's 80 years old.
After work, I stopped by Lucky's to pick up a few things - mainly a small bag of dry cat food and some litter. I was in the checkout line when an elegantly dressed elderly white woman in a seated motorized shopping cart got in line behind me. She bumped into my cart and apologized. I told her that she had no reason to apologize for anything.
I don't know how we got on the topic of house cleaning, but she later asked me - apologizing if she may offend me - if I'd clean her house. I just laughed.
As I was gathering up my stuff to leave, she asked me if I was going to carry all of my stuff out, as it was heavy (The litter alone was 10 lbs). I told her that I was use to carrying heavy stuff. She told me to wait for her, and she'd give me a ride to the bus stop. I thanked her and told her that it wasn't neccesary, but she insisted. I gave in, and walked out to her car with her.
Phyllis warned me that her car was a mess...it was. Mainly shopping bags and paper everywhere. She started tossing stuff from the front seat to the back, and told me to put my bags in the seat behind her seat. I did, then got in and buckled up, thinking 'Am I gonna' be safe with this old lady driving?' I got my answer soon enough...Phyllis was actually a great driver. No slow old lady driving from her!
She said "Monique - I'll take you home. No need to wait for a bus!" I said okay, so off we went.
I have to say that it was fun chatting with her.
She was married for over fifty years to her late husband, then had a boyfriend for like 18 years, before she booted him out. What sometimes came out of her mouth didn't fit her overall uppercrust looks and demeanor. I'm sitting next to this lil' old lady who wore her white hair in a perfect bun. She had on a white sweater and slacks, a red floral scarf, and pearl jewelry. Her red lipstick was on perfectly, and her glasses and handbag were designer. So, looks are deceiving when she opened her mouth about having to wear a colostomy bag for a short while. "Yes - I had to use a colostomy bag...a damn shit bag. I was glad when that crap was over with" Or, when speaking of her detested son and his 'bitch wife': "She's Japanese. A real bitch. Ugly too. He could of at least married a pretty one. One of my friends said that she must must be really good in bed sucking dick...pardon my French!"
I was speechless. I couldn't stop laughing though. She kept going on and on...I wish that I remembered all of the shit that came out of her mouth!
When we got to my apartment building, we chatted a bit more about our families. We exchanged numbers, and I told her that I'd be interested in doing some cleaning for her. Heaven knows that I need the money - even if it would be only $10 an hour. Phyllis warned me that her house was a mess...lol!
I think it's kinda' cool that I met my own 'Betty White'...lol!
COMMENTS
What a cool story. Love to you, sis.
:D How neat!
Hahaha Phyllis sounds great! ♥
We can all only hope to be so 'cool' by the time we reach that point!
♥
Great experience! I love when stff like that happens... It never leaves you.
LOL @ your own Betty White.
She sounds like an awesome lady. I'm glad that you met her and that she was so cool to you.
Lucky's, huh? I didn't know that they were still around. They did away with them in southern California YEARS ago when my father was still a truck driver. I didn't even see one when I lived in Grass Valley lol.
I love meeting people like that.
During a break yesterday, I broke down and called my mom regarding my rent. It took me weeks to call her, as I felt that I shouldn't be calling her about my problems. I figure - I'm an adult and should just deal, plus, she's old and not well sometimes, and I didn't want to upset her and make her ill with my problems.
The flip side of this is that she'd be really pissed off and become ill if I didn't tell her what was going on...so, I called her and told her what was up. She was pissed at the landlord, of course. She was so cute - stated that the $50 she just mailed off for my birthday - which she forgot - lol - 'wasn't shit', and that she'd send me some more money. She said that she couldn't send all that I needed for rent, but could send 'something'. I have no idea what's coming, but I'm a grateful heifer!
I called the EDD department to inquire about why my benefits were denied, and the status of my appeal. I was told that I would get a call back from a judge to explain stuff to me.
I get the call...when I began talking about my situation, the judge stated that I was appealing my case over the phone, which wasn't the way things worked; I needed to wait for my hearing letter with a date. Plus - he didn't have much info on my case. He started going on about how the caseload was smaller, so I'd hear back from them in about 30 days, instead of 90 days...not soon enough for me. He mentioned that the percentage of unemployed in the state dropped, and I told him that it was mainly due to many people running out of benefits who were no longer being counted...and that frankly, by the time I'd get anything from them, I could be homeless and without a phone too.
I had the gall/balls to also state that if I worked in a supervisory position in the unemployment department, I'd get stuff done a lot faster.
Okay - frustration made me mouth off a bit...it's not like I'll get the same guy...the funny thing is that I hope that I do get him to adjudicate my case.
COMMENTS
After reading your previous entry...reading this one literally made me sigh a gasp of relief. That was so amazing of your mom. She really sounds like one awesome lady. :)
I hope that everything works out for you and that things start getting better. Really, I do.
Wow...this has been one rollercoaster ride for the past 6 weeks or so. I'm glad to be back at work, but being out for 6 weeks is a disaster for my finances. Short of an act of the Cosmos, there is no way in Hell that I'm gonna' have this month's rent, let alone next month's. My landlord is a hard assed asshole too. After a lot of research, I found a foundation that would actually pay this month's rent for me, yet the landlord refuses to accept a check from them...I can't understand why, as they are a reputable group and had the damn check cut for him...how someone could be so cold is beyond me. I've never given him problems - hell - I've never met the guy. I've always paid my rent on time. And I've been a tenant of his for over 11 years...go figure.
So...I should be getting an eviction notice soon, if the manager can't convince the landlord to work out a payment plan with me.
I just want to add that my landlord and his family probably own a third of all of the apartment complexes in the town.
Some rich people are really fucked up.
COMMENTS
Oh noooooo. Oh my god............I am so very sorry to hear of this. I cannot even believe that that donkey headed douche nozzle of a landlord won't accept the check. 11 years with no problems and THAT'S how your treated? So not cool. I am so sorry. :(
My friend, I want you to know that I'm not only hoping but I am praying for you about this...that he will accept that check.
*big hugs*
I want to thank all of you who have sent me birthday wishes and honor...it is much appreciated!

Happy belated birthday!
This calls for more honor lol...
