First off, let me wish you and yours a very merry christmas. YES merry christmas, sure happy holidays, but this week its MERRY FREAKING CHRISTMAS!!!! Shopping was ok on sunday. No lines at the registers, as a matter of fact yesterday I went to Kohls at 430pm and was out by 436pm. Ok, I know you are reading this for my boring shopping stories. So let me rant about work, after all, rant is what I do second best.
So my work is run by teenagers. Well not teenagers, but they act like them. Our schedule for monday isn't posted until sunday evenings. There is NO follow thru on anything (ie, I was told by the owner to make a daily checklist, which I made 3 weeks ago. It has yet to be implemented so shit falls thru the cracks everyday!) Potential clients are not properly noted in the computer (why are they getting a massage? relaxation or soreness?). Therapist are calling out, for instance- one said on tuesday that her grandfather had passed and she needed to go to his funeral on saturday (remember this was tuesday) she would work the restof the week but needed saturday off. The "clinic administrator" aka assistant manager heard me talking to her and asked to speak with her, again this was TUESDAY. Well saturday comes along. And guess what, she was never taken off the schedule and her clients weren't rescheduled! And when was this discovered? 35 minutes before the client's arrival! And I know very well on tuesday she only had 3 clients booked and they were early in the day. I was pissed. I was the person who had to bite my tongue and call the clients and tell them. I had to lie and say the therapist just found out, which she didn't. Urgh! I think I may be a little too bossy at work. funny thing though, its not the people I boss around that complain, but other wellness consultants. And I love the ones I "boss around" because they defend me. Every one says that I am not bossing them that I am helping them learn how to sell. Like yesterday, well we are having a gift card selling contest. The rules are stupid, they prizes suck, etc. But I am still selling the shit out of them just for bragging rights. Oh yeah, theres one big catch, no matter how good YOU do, your partner has to do the same. I am whooping everyone else's ass. I have sold over $1000 above the next closest person. And I am $1000's above everyone else. So yesterday me and my partner happen to be on the same shift. So we came up with a game plan. She was to stand at the computer closest to the door to great people as they came in and listen for that "I'm looking for a gift card" and then I would dart around the desk and sell them the gift card package, that best fit their needs. Well one of the other WC told my partner that she shouldn't let me boss her around and take her GC sales, well what that little shit didn't know is that I didn't even ring any of those sales under me, we rang them all up under my partner! Dumbass! I'm not "clifton" who's healthy, happy, and LOVES horses. LOL, I guess you wont get that cuz its an inside joke. But still funny as hell. Now that monkey hangs out atthe door, CONSTANTLY cleaning the windows. I gotta give it to the man, he a mature adult (who LOVES horses), he greats EVERY person who comes in the door, but he takes an hour to sell one gift card for $75. Whatever, I just bored myself by talking about work. So if you're still awake I'll tell you about my new "friend", Gigi Ganjay. OMG this chick is freaking hilarious!!!!!! You can find her at http://www.Cannabisplanet.tv. I friended her on facebook, however, I feel its my destiny to meet her. We would have one KICKASS tv show!!! It would only be able to be seen on the internet, G4, or Adult Swim, but I'm cool with that.
Alright, I am running out of time so lemme give one more rant, I'll try to end on a positive note (I said TRY). So I have this friend. I talk/text to him everyday. Well the other day I went over to his house. His daughter comes home and she says, oh no, what is Gina doing here? Yet a few minutes later comes over and hugs me hi and says, I'm only kidding. Well, I really don't like it. I have been eternally debating with my self as to whether or not I should even remain friends with them or just stop going to their house. His wife busted me out for "seducing" a 20 year old. (In my defense, he's really hot!!!) His daughter talks shit to me. His nephew can't decide if he likes me or not (he totally does, HELLO, I am a magnet for 19-22 year olds) so he is a shithead to me all the time, just like back in grade school when you liked someone you were always mean to him. I may just not go over to their house for a while (we'll see how long that will last). Ok, end on a good note-I said. So I have found a fun playmate. I really like hanging with this kid. He is so cool, we have great conversations, and he's just fun to be around. He lives in a messed up situation like me. Last week we both "snuck out" on a school night and went to the liquor store and then went and played pool for a few hours. I was home by eleven. But I really like hanging with this kid, if only he was 10 years older I'd probably like him on a different level. His dad was really f-ing hot in high school! oh, did I leave that part out? yeah, so he is a guy I went to high school with son. (once again a magnet for the young'uns) The poor kid just wants to live his life. By saying that I mean, he wants to go to college, however he wants the Army to pay for it. He's only 19, (we share our birthday) so I think he should do it. But his family I pressuring him to go to college and skip the Army. I remember when I was 19. I sure the hell wasn't just some "teenager". I lived on my own, in my own apartment (with a roommate), then up and moved out to California. So I can definately see where he is coming from. (yet now look, I'm back at home at mommys)
Well, I have to get ready for work. I hope I ended on a positive (enough) note. Tune in next week if not sooner for more of the "these are the days gina cries" stories.
