Sooooooooooooooooooooo hey all,
ive been noticing that i only post a blog about once a month now. not sure why, its just the way it works out. Nothing much has been going on here really. just the same old job, the same places i go to on the weekends, and the same bed i have been sleeping in for 28 years! well not the same bed, but its in the same room.
Couple things going on at work. first i was exhausted the other day for some reason i couldnt sleep this weekend so i was grouchy on monday and there is a vender rep there and he was moving all my shit and putting up his own product to push sales. now granted that is what he is paid to do, but he was putting it EVERYWHERE, even where it didnt make sense and it was pissing me off to the point where i yelled at him. he told me lower my voice and it just pissed me off more. i did eventually calm down and apologize but i felt like a dick head the rest of the day even though it was kinda his fault and my fault. i shouldnt have yelled, but he shouldnt be a douche when hes taking a whole aisle worth of product that i have to share with 10 other vendors. he was from the south, and i almost told him that we won the war and to get over it. lol. i shoulda.
secondly, we won this contest last month for getting a certain number of credit cards opened. we made the best in the region (north/east), and they gave our store 3000 dollars for a party(ies). and we had a raffle that gave 15 employees 500 bucks each. now this has happened before and people always get pissed off because the people who win are never the hard workers. they are always the cashiers who work one night a week for booze cash. same thing happened this time. a few people i know won it that deserved it. i made an announcment that anyone who brags to me will get a size 11 chuck taylor up their ojo rojo. i never win these things, ive never really won anything except for a ps2 once from a 20oz coke... pretty sweet deal. but yea so i didnt win. and no one bragged to me. but i was still bitter, because i do so much there and its thankless. it sux. another co-worker and i did the math and if we took all of the 15X500 dollars and divided it by all the employees, everyone would have taken home about 50 dollars. i think that is much more fair, its like a tank of gas, or a night at a restaurant. so i asked the manager about that and he said "its too much paperwork" i got mad and said id do the damn paperwork myself, but he said no. i was bitter. nicky blue lips in all his 70 year old wisdom told me this "there are some people who are just born lucky, and there are people who have to earn it, take pride in the fact that at the end of the day you earned it stevie." it comforted me a little, i still want 500 dollars.
other than that nothing going on, when my tattoo artist gets back from japan we will be working on my piece every weekend till its done so that we can do a tattoo show in manchester nh. that should be pretty cool. im nervous about showing my work off to people, i always think people will be hyper-critical... and besides im not doing this for them, the work is for me, and if people like it, hey thats an added bonus.
with that i will leave you with this. i will not be purchasing one.

by far my favorite is 'that chili i had for lunch is burning through me quicker than Sherman burned down atlanta.' needless to say they are still very pissed about that. and 'no wonder you guys come in everyday with smiles on your faces, after all I'm in the land of why go across the street, when you can go across the hall.'
