It has been a day.

One of those horrible days where everything goes wrong. I am not even joking. I will not share everything that went horrifically today (you can thank me later). But I will say that I am going to have a serious smack down at work if this continues. Heads will roll. Preferably not mine.

It's really not all that bad, but we are running so short staffed that we barely can cover breaks much less all the other crap that needs to get done. It's ... exhausting. My last day off was Monday and I don't have another day off till this coming Thursday. For those of you who can do math that means I am working straight for nine days. Nine days is a freakishly long time.

The worst thing that happened was someone (I am almost positive I know who it was) dropped a thermometer in the fryer... yeah. So during one of the busiest times of the day we are changing the oil in the fryer. It was pretty intense. And insane. And I am so glad I do not have to open tomorrow. Just close and then open Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and then I finally, finally get a few days off. To make matters worse the last three weeks I had split days off. Which blows.

I've also spent the last week or so cleaning up after my "trainees". Yes. I have trainees. I who have the least experience ever am training people. Argh. I work in the worst managed store ever.

But it's all okay because I had coffee Haagen-Daz while watching Face Off. Best relaxation technique ever.

It's Delicious! 

Face Off is a great show, it's all about creating something awesome in a short amount of time. And for those of you who think that is a shoddy explanation here is a better one : Face Off is a reality TV game show where the contestants compete in different challenges each week and at the end one person wins a lot of money and gets a blueberry (blue Prius). It's cool. Probably on of the only reality TV shows where I have seen contestants helping each other. Although I feel like that happens sometimes on Project Runway (the other great reality TV show, all others can just disappear).

It's cool. You must watch it! You must!

Ghettotastic

At work early this week I noticed a printed sign on one of the bathroom stalls. It read "Out of order", which I thought was mildly amusing because it seems like almost everything is "out of order." Anyway it was nearly as funny as two days later when I walked into the bathroom to find that same stall with bright red tape on the door handle and hand written words under the "Out of order" sign. It read "Do NOT Use!!!!!"

I am going to let that sink in for a second. Mostly because I it took me a few minutes to realize what must have happened. Normally I would extrapolate on the awfulness, the awkwardness or the awesomeness of any situation I am blogging about. However, I feel that there are some things I cannot explain in explicit detail on the internet. Suffice to say I about fell over laughing only to stop when I realized how much that must have sucked for the custodians. Those poor, poor people. Give a custodian a hug today. Or if that feels to awkward tell them thanks, they have a sucky job that isn't properly appreciated.

Owls, but not the Harry Potter kind

I was feeling exceptionally lazy which is why there is all that awesomeness below. Some of these I choice specifically for my magical design friends. They will know which ones I am talking about, hopefully they laugh as hard as I did when they read it... if they read it. Enjoy.

New favs

For the last few weeks I have been waaaaaaay over playing a few of my new favorite songs.  I decided I just had to share the joy.

Cuz Taylor Swift is just amazing. I really like all of her stuff. Some of it is super light hearted and some has surprising depth. I never know which one it will be till I hear it myself.

The first few times I heard this song I didn't realize it was Carrie Underwood. I know, how out of it could I have possibly been. In my defense I mostly heard it on my crappy car radio while driving to work (and trying to make the cars in front of my disappear into a black hole).

And this has to be one of the weirdest music videos I've seen (mostly because I stopped watching Lady GaGa's music videos).

Mishi 0, weird rashy thing 1

Mkay. So a couple of days ago a reddish looking sort of rash appeared on the back of my hands. It's very odd, it doesn't really hurt or itch. At least not noticeably more than the rest of my skin. But it really freaks me out. It wasn't raised, but now it is. To combat this situation I have decided to make pepper jack grilled cheese. Just kidding, well I am making that but not because of the weird rashy thing.

It's turned into a competition of sorts. I put a different antibiotic cream on each hand, to see which one would clear it up. After about four hours the clear winner was the Melaleuca stuff, I am not really sure what it is. The package says for ... I can't remember but rashes and cuts were on the list. The other stuff I used was Neosporin. It let me down. Granted I have no idea what Neosporin is actually supposed to be used for, I know it's used on cuts but that's about it.

NeosporinNoooooooooo!

Either way I am hoping the stupid thing clears up before I have to go back to work. We shall see.

To add horribleness to hurt (although it doesn't) I burnt my grilled cheese. Cooking fail. Not that I should be surprised by that. Trying to blog and cook at the same time is not a good idea. Just saying.

Do you want a sammich?

Everyday when I leave work there is always someone standing at the parking lot exit with a cardboard sign. Most of them say differing things but the common theme is that the people need help. It always makes me feel awkward because I feel like I should give them something to help out, but I never have anything with me. Except today. Today I had an uneaten sandwich from my lunch. I gave it to her. It was one of the more awkward things I've ever done. I held it out the window and asked if she wanted it. She seemed pretty excited. I don't really understand why, but it made me happy that I could help someone.

That experience also made me decided that I am going to join the Terry Pratchett cult, and every time someone asks for help I will give them one of his books. Which are, obviously, the literature handed out by members. Like the "Watchtower", only better. One of the saddest things I was ever heard was the day someone told me Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's.

One of the world's best authors (Photo).

It seems so wrong that such a brilliant man would have to suffer with one of the worst diseases. There is no cure for Alzheimer's.

And this was supposed to be a fun, light hearted and slightly witty post. There goes that idea.

On a completely unrelated note I have learned something new today. Never leave gel pills sitting in a hot car. It's just not a good idea.

Silly Rabbit

Anyone who does not know how that ends must have had a sad, sad childhood. Either that or they have Alzheimers, which would really suck.

Trix are for kids.

 I bought a box of Trix cereal last week and was very disappointed. They stopped making the little cereal pieces in the shape of fruit. This is highly destressing because that was half the reason I loved the it as a child. They are now round swirly colorful balls that look a lot like Kix, only after someone threw up technicolor on them. It's a rather uncomfortable thought to have while eating breakfast.

Best cereal ever!

Does it make me a child because I eat Trix for breakfast? (please say yes and then tell me I can act like a child; play outside all summer and not have to work. It would be fantastic). I have to say that working full time blows. I don't understand how adults have to time to do anything. I get up go to work, come home take a shower and then pass out. It's not super productive. It's also kind of annoying because I was hired as part time and they keep giving me 40+ hours a week... that isn't part time. I would normally be down with more hours, but since I am trying to apply to grad school it makes it really difficult to get anything done.

Mmm more celebrity gossip. Joy. *updated

Normally I am not inclined to pay attention to celebrity gossip because I believe most of it is publicity stunts and the other parts are no one elses damn business. I am choosing to ignore that personal rule because I've been shocked by the whole Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson thing.

Those of you who know me rather well have probably already figured out that my first reaction was an almost hysterical laughter. How the hell could she have an "affair" with her shitty acting skills. The humor was swiftly replaced by anger. Why the hell couldn't she use that acting ability in any of the movies she's "stared" in instead of using to screw over someone who seems like a good guy.

The most humorous comment was "Stewart is a good person, she just made a mistake."

Umm.... Getting the wrong ice cream is a mistake. Screwing around on your boyfriend is just skanky. Especially with a director. Talk about low standards.

I do feel bad for Pattinson, poor dude.

Oh yes. And she says she's sorry. Duuuuuuude. Why the hell wheren't you thinking about that before you screwed around on him? Hmmmm?

I have a rather low tolerance for cheaters. I also have a low tolerance for Kristen Stewart's shitty acting. Making this an almost unbelievable combination.

Update:

FML. Why the hell is there going to be another Huntsman movie? Why? Ugh. The first one was soooo bad. This has been a bad day.

Wildly inappropriate

A friend had this one her fb wall and I couldn't resist the urge to watch it. It's hilarious. And Wildly inappropirate. I would suggest not watching this at work or around small children. Or anyone who is stuffy and not fun.

I was thinking of finding another video but I so don't feel like it. Hurray for me getting a post done this month!
