I hate people

Well, this weekend was just plain awful! However, I did get some good news on Friday night.

I get off work on Friday and decide to go grocery shopping (as I didn’t have to work at Homo Depot) and I got lots of frozen meals because I only have about 25-30 mins through the week when I have to close at the depot. I came home and was putting up groceries when the phone rang. It was the HR department from Covenant Health and she offered me the job I had mentioned earlier. Of course, I took the job! I start on August 14th and am looking soooo forward to it.

Then things started going downhill from there. I had a couple of friends over to watch TV and just hang out. I had 3 vodka/waters and had a little buzz but was no way drunk. They left around midnight and I went to bed and fell sound asleep. Sound asleep for an hour and a half when I was awakened by terrible stomach cramps. I barely made it to the bathroom before…well it was ugly…let’s just say that. From 1:30am until 6:00am Saturday, I used 1 roll of toilet paper. Needless to say, I had to call in sick Saturday.

Today was a little better as I still had an upset stomach but no major attacks of where I had sprint to the toilet!

It is now official…I HATE PEOPLE!

This is going along the lines of the thresd Ukrocks posted on OT about little pet peeves as people were going through the checkout lane. Well, I know have my list of things that bother me about people visiting the paint department at your local Homo Depot.

*If you get something off the shelf and don’t want it…put it back where it belongs. This doesn’t mean to take it 3 feet down the aisle and push something else out of the way to place said item where it don’t belong.

*If you put something in your buggy from another department and decide you don’t want the item. DO NOT LEAVE IT IN THE PAINT DEPARTMENT! I am responsible for finding those items and returning them to the department they belong and tonight I found a broom, mop, clothes hangers, floor tiles, a 2X4, garden hose and an American flag. None of these things belong in the paint department and I don’t want to clean your fucking mess!

*When looking at the spray paints be sure to place the can back in the carton it came out of. This doesn’t mean to pick up the can, push the carton back, and then place the can in front of the carton. I have to find those and straighten them out as wall.

*Tonight was a perfect example of why my patience is being tested here. An elderly lady comes to the paint counter with fliers that she found in front of the concrete treatment products. She said she had some questions…it says here to do these three steps. Do I have to do all three steps or can I leave out a couple? I wanted to ask if she saw somewhere that it said certain steps could be “optional”. But I didn’t, I bit my tongue. However, while she was asking her 10 questions (that she could have found the answer on the flier) 4 customers came to the counter behind her waiting to get paint mixed.

*When trying to determine what color to paint something, do not come and ask my opinion of the color YOU chose. I do not have the same taste and can’t tell you to paint something one way if you don’t want it. You would be surprised of some of the questions I get asked and for the record…I don’t think a fluorescent purple would be a good color for a dean.

These are just a few and as you can see I got really urinated off tonight. The items that I mentioned were out of another department took me over 30 minutes of the 1 hour I get to close. I had to leave some of the things that were on my to do list because of IDIOTS that I hate.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Ugh, did you drink a bottle of Pepto?

Congrats on the new job! I'm so happy for you!

Once in awhile I stick something back where it doesn't belong at the grocery store, but usually I give it to the clerk if there's something I don't want & I'm too short on time to return it to the shelf. I promise to be more respectful from now on, ok?

Can't you just stick the misplaced items back in the wrong place, too? :) Nah, I guess not. Go over to Luna's blog and tell her how people take parts out of boxes and put the boxes back on the shelves.
