“You’ve got to be kidding me”

Friday, August 25th, 2006

WTF.  Seriously, who says this?  Do you see me smiling?  Can you hear my chuckle?  Why do people bother saying this when it’s quite obvious that I’m very serious about the statement that I’ve just made?

Customers suck.  All of them.  I hate my work and I hate the people that call on a regular basis.  I work in a printing company, and we print envelopes.  Someone asked the price for envelopes, and was mad that I told them they’d get their quote “later today”

And an hour or so later I send it, and I get a call back asking how long it would take.  Normally we say 3-5 business days.  It’s Friday at 2pm.  They want their envelopes on Tuesday.  Already that’s a “not going to happen” since if we got film at this very minute, the earliest we’d give them was Wednesday.  And of course they are sending a file so we’d have to output to film (yes, we’re ancient here, we still output film first) so that will take another day or so depending on how fast they approve stuff. 

And I tell her all of this, basically saying she’ll probably be looking at Friday the earliest, maybe after the long weekend, and I get back a response of “You’ve got to be kidding me.”  And my reply to her of “No I’m serious.”  I’ve found that you must be blunt with idoits so they get the message.  *OH!*  And it’s got to go through two different presses!  Which means that it would take even LONGER!!!

At this point, I’m not going to be here after the long weekend myself, so basically I don’t care WHAT I say to people.  Even my boss.  I mean, really, who would?

That was slightly boring I must admit…

So I ended up going to my first major league baseball game last night, instead of in September.  It was interesting and boring all at the same time.  I’m used to watching baseball on TV and being bored, and when I’m bored I escape to the computer or by flipping to another channel.  Also listening to the colour commentary makes it a little more interesting since I really don’t know anything about baseball.

And in the party of 5 people that were there, I was sitting at the end of our grouping of five next to who we all very lovingly have termed “Mr. Grumpy Pants”  although he wasn’t *too* too grumpy last night.  But I was very bored out of my mind.  I didn’t even get a bingo card to play with.  Moop.

And the game kind of royally sucked too.  I think we lost 8-0, or something like that.  I didn’t even get any beer, cracker jack or a giant foam finger.  Well, I wasn’t planning on getting a foam finger until the Boston game anyways.

Anyways, at least now I know roughly where I’ll be sitting for the game against Boston in September!!

I took pics on my cell phone so expect my moblog to be updated with them within the next 6-8 weeks!!

hahahahaha. absoloutely awesome.

So I'm one of probably millions of people who have googleads on their regular blog. I'm almost never expecting to get paid from it (I make about 2 bucks a month right now, so at that average I'll get paid 3 years from now)

Anyways, googleads takes whatever's on your main page's text and grabs ads for it, right?

Right now as I'm looking at my page, I'm currently advertising Studex piercing guns. *giggles* Maybe I should write an article on how they suck. Then I'll be getting more of their ads! To laugh at!

OH MY GOD

I'm in so much f*cking pain right now. I haven't had this type of PMSing pain in so f***ing long. Seriously. This absolutely sucks. I want to go home and cry.

god doesn’t want me to BJJ

Apparently my plans once again have been foiled.  Toronto has a Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu club, that’s encouraging women to join by offering free classes on Sunday.  So far I’ve gone to one class in the past 4 months.  Other times I’ve been stopped due to traffic restrictions, more traffic restrictions, parades, long weekends, and having the timeslot change without me knowing.

Today I trekked all the way over to find out they were doing renovations.  ARRG!

Thus, I furiously walked around Toronto for an hour, then drove home very quickly to find myself at the gym where I haven’t been in absoloute ages.  I did 30 minutes on the elliptical/cross-trainer, then worked out my oblique(sp?) abs, and my top & bottom abs at 40lbs each, 15 reps for 3 sets.

Now I’m at home.

I just wanted to post that I “furiously” walked.  I never thought it was possible until today to walk furiously.
