I'm off for vacation....FINALLY!

I will miss you all so much! I swear I will. I will try so hard to jump on and read, maybe comment, but I will post pictures throughout my vacation.

The Work Life

It amazes me still the stupidity that people have in the world. I really thought that people would be smarter, kinder, and more patient. HA jokes on me!

I got a call the other day, old man telling me about his medicine and how he needs the insurance to pay for it. I was trying to explain to him that we do not deal with insurance or medication because we are a CAR dealership! He was Asian of some sort, but could not understand a thing I was saying. He kept saying "So it's ok then now?" Uhm no sir, it's not, you need to call your insurance. "So it's ok then now right?" I ended up having to say very quickly "We don't deal with medicine or insurance, please call your Dr and have a great day!" and then hanging up. All per the big boss.

Then I get a guy, tells me he's calling to activate his Visa card. Sorry, again I answered the phone and specifically stated what company we were, and in no way did I mention that we were affiliated with your bank or Visa card. I didn't say that to him, but I wanted to. I mean come on when you call a company, don't you listen to what they say when they answer. If you don't, please start! So anyway, I tell him that we are a car dealership. He asked me........."WHY?" Uhm because that is the company I work for and that is why. Seriously? So I quickly explain to him that we can't activate his card and hang up the phone since I have 6 other lines buzzing in all at the same time, and hung up. Wouldn't ya know...HE CALLED BACK! He said "Don't hang up on me, I want to know why you can't activate my Visa card" I say "Sir I am not a bank, I am not employed by Visa, but if you want to give that card number to me, I will activate it and shop" ....... dial tone!
A guy calls (get how these are all MEN, they don't listen), I answer the phone and he says "who is this?" So I repeat the company name...he tells me he can't understand me. So one last time, 3 times is all you get w/ me, and I tell him...doing my very best to keep my cool. This jerk had the nerve to tell me I don't talk right! Why don't I talk right you ask....because I have a "phone" voice, and that phone voice is a very soft spoken one, but clearly understandable. I felt like telling him I couldn't understand his ebonics! In the end, he wanted Child Support.

I'm really kind of worried about my Tuesday man. He used to drive me insane calling and insisting that I was with the BBB and that I was lying to him about who we were. But he hasn't called me for like a month, and I'm kind of worried about him. I like to imagine that he is in a nursing home and they took his phone priviledges away, but then still, I think calling me was some sort of comfort to him. Pray for my Tuesday man!

I Have A Situation

 

I started working at my current job September '09. Shortly after I started working there one of the guys, I'll call him "Joe" started making stupid comments. "You're beautiful" "Your hot" "I'm in love w/ you" "If you weren't married, would you marry me" "If you weren't married, would you go on a date w/ me"

So annoying as hell....did it bother me, ehhh, it got on my nerves but I can take it. Then one day he started touching me, first it was his hand on the top of my back, then my lower back, rubbing my arms, and then one day while I was sitting in my chair touching my inner thigh. I flipped! But I still kept my mouth shut. I had just started, and I didn't want to be fired. The big boss scares the hell out of me.

Then it continued, and finally one day I was about to blow. So I asked my supervisor how I could make it stop. I couldn't take it anymore, I was really ready to hit him. So she went to the GM who pretty much told him to stop. They didn't fire him, and I was ok with that....thinking I wouldn't have to see him anymore because he now works at the building next door, and he has kids so I don't wanna see any kids go hungry. I might be pissed, but I still have a heart. But now, now that he wants to run his mouth, tell everyone that works here, and tell them that I lied, now my blood is boiling, and I am pissed. Now I don't care if he gets fired. Now I don't care if the b*&%^ goes to hell. Now, he has really pissed me off. Why should I be embarrassed by what he did? Why should I have to explain myself to these people? Why do I have to feel like I did something wrong?

 

Ok so I wrote the above part while I was at work and fuming. I had to write it or let it out of my mouth. When my supervisor came in I told her she could shut his mouth quietly or I was going to do it. She went to the GM again who called me in his office. Tears started flowing immediately. I'm telling you this man scares the hell out of me. In the office was myself, GM of where I work, my supervisor and the GM of the building he now works at. I explained to them that I didn't feel it was right that I had to be humiliated all over again, not only when he did it and I kept my mouth shut, but by him running around telling people, and obviously not the truth. GM asked me if I wanted him fired, said all I had to do was say the word and they'd fire him. Uhm...that's not my decision to make. I don't want that on my shoulders. As GM, that was and should be his call, to do what is right for the company. I can't make that decision. I can't risk his kids going hungry....I just can't. The mommy in me worries about the kids. Screw him, but the kids can't be punished for his ignorance. Pretty much bottom line, I told him I never wanted to have to see him again. They said that'd be done. How? I don't know and don't care. The GM asked me why I didn't say something sooner, here's why: I was the new girl, I didn't want them to think I was there just to start trouble. I didn't want to lose my job. But most of all, I didn't want what is happening to happen, I'm now uncomfortable at work. I love my job though. GM says to me that he sees and appreciates everything I do, that I'm a very valued employee and he thinks I am great at what I do. All very nice, but I don't ever want to see that S.O.B ever again. I don't ever want to hear from another person what he has told them. So now we will see.

1.If you had 5000.00 to spend on plastic surgery what would you have done?

 

Gosh, my boobs, my butt, and my tummy! Hmmm...I want a lot, but I couldn't pick just one. Those are the three that I want done.

2. Do you watch Soap operas and if so what is your favorite and why?

Nope, I have never really been in to soaps, and I probably never will.

3. Favorite clothing brand?

I don't have a favorite. Just love what looks good and fits the best.

4. An afternoon shopping spree at your favorite store or maid service for a year?

 Oh why would you make me choose between these two? I'd have to go for the maid service, my house stays clean all the time, but if she'll keep it cleaner heck yeah! 

 
5. would you ever vajazzle?

I can't say it's my thing. I'm not talented enough to do it myself, and I wouldn't dare let anyone but hubs near me.

6. Favorite Disney Princess?

No, not really. Just not a big Disney fan....just don't tell my sister.

7. Last movie that made you bawl your eyes out?

Uhm...every movie I see does this. Haichi really made me cry hard. 

8. Have you ever broken any bones and if so what?

I broke my wrist several years ago. I fell down the stairs and all my weight went on my wrist.
