To go along with the topic...

of my last blog, here is an example of the idiots I have to deal with at work every day. Customer comes into the store, sells a few items, then asks if he can use our phone. Trying to be nice(mistake), I let the guy use our phone. While I am waiting on the next customer, the guy using the phone calls his work and tells them this" Yeah man, I am DEATHLY ill. I can't make it in today. Yeah,  I work on so and so's shift, blah blah." Well most of you know from my last blog about how I feel about calling in sick. The customer that I am waiting on  looks and just starts laughing. The douchebag who is on our phone, then WALKS outside with the phone and proceeds to  call other idiots. WTF? So, not wanting to be rude to the customer I am waiting on, I just keep an eye on the idiot outside, and finish the transaction. Fucking moron walks back inside and just puts the phone on the counter and walks out. Not even saying "Thanks". I need a new job before I start hating humans worse than I already do.

Calling in sick.

We have all done it at one time. Sometimes, just because you don't feel like going in. Me personally, I will only call in when I am puking my guts out. I just cannot function that way.  I am very sure my co-workers and customers would not want to see me hurling into a garbage can all day. But, if you have a head cold, take some medicine, and get your ass to work. Dog died? Sorry for you loss, but bury the dog, and get to work. You have to re-arrange your house and move some stuff around(I have actually had someone call in and try to use this excuse)? I don't give a shit, get your ass to work and you can do that on YOUR own time. My personal favorite is the can't work on Sunday because of church. Wait, didn't you tell me in your interview and put down on your application that you COULD work on Sundays? No problem, I will just reduce your hours where you will have plenty of time to "go to church". These are excuses from workers at least over 23 years old.I won't accept any of these lame excuses.

My assistant manager was bitten on his left leg by a brown recluse spider. This was in 2006. There is now a HUGE hole in his leg not only from where the spider bit him , but the many surgeries he has had to try and repair the veins in his leg to get right amount of blood flow back into his leg. He is in constant pain. Goes to the doctor constantly for pain pills and treatment, but the leg just will not heal.  I have seen this grown man( when I say grown man 33 years old about 6'3" 300lbs ex-football player who loves games), cry from the pain in his leg after he bumped his leg on a box in our store. Now this man comes to work EVERY day. No excuses. He could call in and I would totally understand why he could not come into work that day. He has another surgery planned for May the 9th and if that surgery does not work, then he might need to have his leg amputated.

Here's what a brown recluse spider can do to your thumb:


Pretty damn nasty. So , the next time you think of calling into work, think of all of the people out there who go to work every day without any excuses.

Coheed and Cambria

So, RockBand turned me on to these guys. Even though the singer/guitarist looks like Sideshow Bob and sings like Geddy Lee, they are bad ass. Can anyone recommend which one of their albums, cds, whatever that I need to listen to first? I was reading up on their music and it seems most of the albums are based on a sci-fi story the lead singer came up with.
