Bastard Assed Kids.
I never thought I's ever say it, never ever ever, but here goes.... What the hell is wrong with kids today. I mean I was a bugger when I was young but ( and i feel old saying this ) NO RESPECT DAMMIT!
Picture it, Glace Bay 2005. It was a Monday, 5 days before easter. I wake up to take my mother to work and find my drivers side front and back tire slashed. I lost my mind to say the least and I also lost 180$ out of it. That may not seem like alot to many people, but for a single mother getting no child support rate before easter ITS YOUR FRIGGIN EASTER MONEY ! so I creid, Chris wanted to run around the neighbourhood with the samari sword I got him for his B-day adn do some disaplinininin. Needless to say I could'nt get Raven what i wanted to get her ( a dora the explorer bike..her first 2 wheeler) So me and chris got some money together and got her the other thing she wanted for easter more than life itself...a pet. Now what pops in your head.. a puppy? a kitten perhaps... nay what my daughter wanted and people who know me will be like...yeah thats your kid alright... wanted a crab. In the mall is a crab shack as most know and my daughter is obsessed with them, she loves them. Chris and I went in and got her the xlarge starter kit and 2 crabs, transported them home and with ninja style and grace got them ina nd set them up without her knowledge and then all in awe she came out and saw what the easter bunny had left her early. Easter was a success and my daughter is happy, so I'm happy. That's not to say I wouldn't be happier with a hoodlums head to smack but meh...what can you do.
Other than that fiasco I received a letter from the university about locals that are renting apartments and houses to students.
Work is work of course, sometimes though I think I would prefer a shotgun to the face than go there. Yeah I know thats harsh, here is some more examples of what I go through everyday:
Customer: I can't remember if I placed an order last week or not. Even so, I haven't received it and I want to know where the hell it is.
Me: *blink blink * (and after checking the system she hadn't placed an order with us since 99)
*informs customer she hasnt placed an order since 99
Customer *click.... dial tone*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer (in middle of an order): Where are you located?
Me: I'm in Eastern Canada.
Customer: No you're not.
Me: umm, yes...yes I am
Customer: *pissed off for some reason* Don't lie to me. My niece lives in Canada and I know what a Canadian sounds like and you are not one of them.
Me: Ummm, I'm really sorry to argue with you ma'am but I know where I'm located and I do live in Eastern Canada.
Customer: Fine then *yelling* if you ARE canadian then which side of the Ontario bridge do you live on.
Me: *blink blink*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Day Before Easter
Customer: I want to order a dress for my wife for easter.
my brother: ok (places the order) Now I should tell you that we have no overnight delivery to have that there for easter.
Customer: *laughing* When do you think easter is son?
my brother: it;s tomorrow
Customer: *laughing hysterically* I don't know where you are boy, but we ce;ebrate easter the 3rd week of April here.
my brother: *twitch* Sir, have you looked at a calendar?
Customer: *getting miffed* yes of course
my brother: a 2005 calendar?
Customer: *irate* Listen buddy, I don't know how you people in Canada do things, but here is the USA we celebrate easter the end of April, so stop trying to convince me that's it's tomorrow when I know it's not!!
my brother: fine, FINE sir, yes you will get it in time for easter because you're easter is in April. (hangs up on the customer)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So this is what we do everyday, some people I suppose. It's sad when te only break you get at work is when a pervert calls you.
Anyways, good news is that Chris has another interview at Michlin on the 12th of April. Hopefully they will hire him on and then we can leave sooner than we planned. I'm really excited.
