the saga continued

tuesday morning

citgo drama oh my. well, that job lasted all of 4 hrs. could of been great ..
worked with the only morning girl, jeanette, my age-ish and real sweet.
she was showing me her routine, the cooking area set up, up - keep blah, blah ... all was moving along - until the manager "ted" walked in ..
guess he was in a pissy mood and when a customer called acting the typical - indignant attitude down on him [i see alot of that lately in the public around here] and me being the new girl?
i got laid into .. i listened and asked him "if i did forget to give a lady her change of .72c .. hey, wouldn't the till show it?"
that didn't sit well with him and he kept up his tirade, while the customer was on the phone .. bet her ear stung, along with ours.
after he walked back to his area, i waited a minute got myself all ticked off and nervous, headed back and told him, "not even my kids talk to me that way, i won't allow you to. possibly you do not know how to communicate without yelling. thanks for the opportunity .. don't bother to pay me. goodbye."
shook his hand [wanted to spit on it] and left.

jeanette said 'she thought it was a 'cultural' behavior as these guys are korean' i say, no matter what culture your from, if you had gone to 'vanderbilt university' and spent enough time there to get an m.a. in electrical engineering ..
you have some people management skills thrown in there. guess not.
oh bother .. he's called twice now.
he wants to pay me [i didn't even have time to fill out the paper work] apologize and explain his stressors. he wants to talk to me? like i care about your stressors .. come on.?
so -- off to job hunt again. sigh and i would of loved the job too ..
jeanette and i exchanged phone numbers so that was good.

tuesday mid-morning

aha - jeanette just called.. after i left, he asked her if she was offended and she told him "yes, both of us were. you made it sound as if we were trying to cheat the lady" and i thought she had to much sheep in her. hence his call to me .. neato ~ neato .. maybe there are some all-right ladies in this backwards part of the biblebelt .. i figured by her behavior she was cow-towed. not so .. way to go jeanette

jobs i'm working my way through

got a job at the citgo down the road, was to easy.. walked into the second choice - hired on the spot.. and only 20 mins from home.
i'll be doing same type of work as the lake resort cafe. without having to smoke meat and fish. owners are oriental .. very thick accent. oh well. good to do since it will keep me occupied.

happy birthday

kids had a happy 21st birthday party

it party started elsewhere and ended up here .. two days they spent partying .. some great food as well as music. house is in good shape, which surprised me. classes start soon .. so they used her birthday to include the end of summer bash.

picked "copeland's" in franklin. yummy - crawfish fettacine and caesar salad .. for dessert, french roast coffee. oh was great. not as good as the little shack outside new orleans but close. now a good book and sleep .. have the house to myself. the peace and quiet.

jon suggested we hitch our way to Seattle .. so i went exploring on the net and found this >~>:>~> *Digihitch * <~<:<~<

i'm spoiled - i like my comfort - besides - how can we hitch with fishin' gear?

adjusting to the weather

hot and humid here - eagleville weather

don't feel like moving even a finger. waiting for it to cool down so i can head outside to cut the jungle down. found out the vine taking over the side of the house is virginia creeper and not poison ivy like carolyn thought ... thank god.

danny (carolyns' husband) my neighbor is out mowing his lawn everyday. wtf ! he hates it that i'm not on his mission: lawn brigade - ho -!!
i hate it he retired ..

if you don't know this already

searching

14 wu's completed on seti at home both machines running it atm.
why not. there is one out there for cancer research, haven't found the link yet. not trying to hard though

dreams

another one of those dreams tossing eggs at pans cooking at 'the resort'
i'm frozen as the door opens and loads of people rush in yelling orders towards the counter.
I can't - move - feels like trying to walk against a hard surf.
I can't - make a decision.
ka - blam - o -
all sudden - im running full-on crazy trying to do it all and of course ..
there's Kenny fretting away in the corner.
absolutely had to make myself wake up.

more on dreams

i dreamt of susan again - she comes to me tall, blonde, looking great and happy.
she would be 30 this last mother's day. don't know why i still dream of her off and on. i wish she were here.

had another chase dream. same house dark and gloomy with a narrow staircase up. trying to get my brothers away from this "thing" that we can't see. we know it's chasing us toward the staircase. there's just no way i'm going to take them up there, something up there is worse than what is chasing us. i hate them, i make myself wake up and have to tell myself it's just a dream. wake in panic and it takes me a couple of hours to get it out of my head.

another is fighting with jacob the way my brothers and i used to fight.
i laugh at those now but back then it was intense. the time i finally broke the "hands off" barrier we had between us and threw that bell from the camel bench stool, almost hitting tim in the eye, still makes me shudder. boy could we fight - the three of us.
