Have you ever worked with someone who made you feel so old you wanted to apply for senior discounts? I had the misfortune of working with such a girl last night. At one point I had to leave the store and go over to the bookstore and rant about it, just so I didn't cause her bodily harm. Here are some of the things that made my hands itch to choke her... Imagine all of these things said in sort of a sing songy high pitched sort of way. And she is sort of 80s wanna be. Tight jeans, torn up leg warmers, bad sweatshirt, shaggy sort of haircut. She also seems really nervous... always having to move around. I really wanted to nail her feet to the floor, but then I would have to gag her too.... "Go away. Shoo. Leave. You are pretty, but I don't want you here." (To a bug on her computer) 5 minutes later she said the same thing. And again 5 minutes after that. "I am so hungry. I have no food in the house but egg noodles and butter. And after awhile you just get sick of egg noodles and butter." "My blankets stink. I like to pull them up over my head. But now I can wash them at my mom's. Oh maybe she will feed me because I am tired of egg noodles and butter." "What music do you want to listen to? Anything. Are you sure?" I told her any music was fine as long as it wasn't discordant and loud. What does she put in? Give you one guess.... something discordant and loud. I turn it down and she asks if it could be louder. k: "No." b: "Why not?" k:"Because it is too loud and even louder downstairs." b:"It isn't that loud." (In a very whiney voice.) k:"Yes, it is. My 31 year old ears say it is too loud. The music shouldn't slap you in the face when you walk in the door." b:"I don't think it does." k:"Ask Dave... music is one thing I am a bitch about." I heard her mumbling under her breath for a bit. This went on and on... plus she kept dropping movies which was really loud and annoying. Luckily I only had to work with her for 3 hours. Do they have awards for dealing with crazy coworkers? k |

I was just flipping through Utne magazine and they had an article on self improvement. Here are some facts from on of the sidebars in the article... There are 85 Chicken Soup for the Soul books The fastest growing market for antidepressants is preschoolers It is estimated that we will spent $12 Billion in 2008 By the age f 16 kids will see about 6 million ads These scared me... I need someone to hold me. k |

Carrie let me borrow her copy of "We Thought You'd Be Prettier" by Lauri Notaro. And for my fellow big girls out there who have ever complained about shopping you need to read it if only for the chapter "Attack of the XL Girl". It was beautiful. Especially the part where she says that stores need to have lables on the outside that tell you who can shop there... sort of like returants in California have to put their Health Inspector rating in the window. That way you know what to avoid. Lots of stuff rumbling around my head, but none of it wanting to be typed out. Maybe later... k

I forgot to blog about my weekend LSV shift.... it was one of the craziest thus far, but still tame when I think about my old LSV shifts. First off it was rainy/snowy/icky so lots of people were renting videos and lots of people were returning. The back counter area was overflowing with movies. L was putting away videos and I wait on my first customer. I notice the printer isn't working. When the printer doesn't work, it doesn't save what we have done. Each transaction gets a printout. I call L back up to the register to help. She took care of the remaining customers and then sat down to try and figure out why the printer had died. Now, I should tell you these printers are probably older than god. No laser/ink jet printers for us. I think they are powered by hamsters. They are the same ones we had when I worked there years ago. L gets a look of panic on her face and I offer to take over. I have never seen someone move so fast. There are so many cables below my terminal I can figure out what goes to what. I decide to switch printers with the one on the comp we don't use. While this is going on a woman comes in with 2 giant dogs, German Shepards I think, which is okay, but just made the store a bit more crowded. She wants to know where new arrival vhs tapes are. L tries to explain, but the woman doesn't get it. I offer to go show her, but L said she would do it. A few minutes later the woman comes up to me with a video in hand. "Do you mean to tell me this is the only new arrive vhs you have?" "Yes, most of our titles are just coming in on DVD." "Do you know how much money you are losing by not having VHS? Most people don't have DVD players." "No, actually the majority of our rentals are DVD." She didn't end up renting anything... do you mean out of all the vhs tapes we have, and there are many, she has watched all of them? Oh well, she got her big dogs out of my way. I figured out what was wrong with the printer... one of the 5 million power strips under the counter got turned off and it just happened to be the one connected to the printer. Then I got to watch this guy hit on L in a major way. It was rather uncomfortable for me. I know L felt it 10 fold. Plus he was like a foot shorter than her. It would never have worked. Later in my shift I got to show a late 60 something couple how to find porn in the adult section. They wanted dvds (ha!) and couldn't figure out what books they were in. We have about 12 books back there... some for dvds, some straight porn and the other gay male porn. It can get a bit confusing. Anyway, they were very cute about it. There was something else, but it has vanished in to the ether. Maybe it will come back to me. k |

| Kate blows up |
| 04.25.05 (7:27 am) [edit] |
|
(If foul language upsets you... stop now while you still can.) I don't often lose it. You can usually count on me to be calm and even tempered. I think that is why when I lose it I do so in a big way. If you are always getting angry and blowing up at people it stops meaning much, but if you are generally happy go lucky when you get angry people tend to pay attention... this is one of those times... I was working at a McD's up in Mt. Pleasant. I was working working late night which meant I was there until about 3 am. We were training someone that night which meant we had 5 people including the manager, instead of 4. It should have been a quick evening. But as you probably could guess it wasn't. McD's policy is that once the store is closed you can't open the drive thru window. Smart policy. This store had 3 windows, the 2nd one being right near the manager's office. I was back in the back washing dishes when I heard Dawn talking to someone at the 2nd window. I peaked my head around the corner and saw that she was talking to Ruth, another employee who was off shift. I started giving stuff to D to put away, hoping she would get the hint. As soon as she put the items away she went back to talking to R. Then I noticed that Kevin had stopped working and was talking to D and R. So, it was me and the new guy. Our manager Donna was in the office and was making no effort to tell people to get to work. The sink I was using had a leak, so you had to put a sundae lid in to keep the water from draining out. I was getting frustrated at not having any help and was not being as careful as I should have been with the coffee pots. I broke one... not a big deal. I got all the glass, so I was okay. I did some deep breathing and went on working. As I went to remove the sundae lid I cut my finger on a piece of glass I had missed. Again I took some deep breaths and went to the first aid kit hanging right out side the manager's office. No Band Aids. None. And that is what caused me to lose it. "God damn, son of a bitch cheap ass store." Everyone stopped to look at me, jaws open. "This is fucking bullshit. I am sick of being the only one working when there are five of us on the clock. Fucking lazy ass people." Donna tried to calm me down. Not a smart idea. "You are the god damn manager... why the fuck aren't you doing your job." She sputtered a bit, but came up with no answer. "I have had enough. I worked more than my share and I am leaving." She tried to tell me it wasn't policy. "Neither is having a drive thru window open after close and you did nothing about that." So, I punched out and let myself out of the store sure I would be fired. No one said a word... just kept staring at me. (I know I said more, but when I am angry I tend to ramble.) The next day Sean, one of my favorite managers, called and asked if I could work. I asked who was manager. When he said Donna I said I didn't think it would be a good idea and explained what had happened the night before. He said he would talk to her. I got a phone call a little while later from Donna saying I didn't understand what was going on and if I could come in early and we could talk about it. Now, I think D had a bit of a crush on me, but I can't be certain. I go in and she tried to feed me this line about having Kevin check out the situation in the drive thru. I told her that once she realized it was Ruth she should have just stuck her head out of the office and told her to go away we would be done soon. Basically I told her she was a lousy manager. That night as punishment she put me in the grill by myself, with her running the bin. It was fun watching her face turn purple as she tried to get me for not doing my job... she never had to wait for anything. It was beautiful. I asked not to be on her shift again. A few months later Dawn came up to me and told me she had been scared of me. It was funny because she could have kicked my ass. It made me feel good that I had her thinking otherwise. I had no idea this post would be this long.... congrats if you made it to the end. k |

I have been pretty useless today... playing JT's Blocks, messing around with photos and chatting with Irishred. Oh and I have also been sending Rocky RX blog names. So, I am getting work done, just not the work I should be getting done. I just want to go home and sit on the couch and try and read a book... it is up to Moose if I get to or not. k p.s. I am also taking some of the old pics off my blog since it didn't want to accept any more images.... most of them are up on flickr anyway. |

On the radio show this morning the DJs were talking about googling people. He googled himself and the first thing that came up was fake obits he asked listeners to send in. I googled my name, but didn't find me... but other Kathleen's of note. One is a librarian at Columbia. Another works for the International Study Centre of Applied Psychology. A third breeds Golden Retrievers. There is a teacher and an events manager for Cornell. All the work these Kathleen's are doing is making me tired. Are there other yous out there? k |

~Yesterday I was walking around down town A2 and I saw this little girl, maybe 3, staring at her reflection in a window. She started dancing around and singing the theme song to Sesame Street. It was very cute. ~Riding in to work with C today we were discussing what we would do if we won the megamillions this Friday... it is up to $205 Million. I can't even get my head around that amount of money... even if they take half in taxes that is still a ton-o-cash. Think of the camera stuff I could buy. ~Students are done with classes and finishing up exams. I love summer here in A2... the campus is much quieter and you can find parking easier. I realize they are why I have a job, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. ~I just showed a coworker some of my new necklaces and she wants 2 of them with earings to match... plus has her eye on a third necklace. At the rate my friends are going, I won't have any jewelry to sell at art fair. ~I want to try selling some of my photos there. I have to see about matting. k |

Having a hard time breathing today. I am in to my 6th day of antibiotics and it doesn't seem to be helping. I could be that the weather got really cold again. I was coughing so hard on my way home last night I thought I would drive off the road. 3 weeks is too long to be sick. I had more I wanted to write about, but it vanished. Glad this week is almost over. k |

Woke up to the sound of thunder this morning. I wish it was a weekend so I could have stayed in bed and listened to thunder and watched flashes of lightening across my ceiling. Unfortuantly I had to get up and come to work. I thought of the X Files episode I watched last night about a kid who could call down lightening... or was lightening. I love watching storms. On the drive in I noticed that just to my left the sky was clear and to the right it was a dark dark blue with the lightening flashing occassionaly. It was beautiful. k |
| My shit better be hot |
| 04.19.05 (9:24 am) [edit] |
|
V reminded me of this story and I thought I would share... The "N" word is used so if you don't like it don't read any further. One summer while in college I worked at McDonalds and Pizza Hut to save up for school. I lived with my Grandma since there wasn't a lot of room at my dad's house. THe stores I worked at were in Flint, but were not the most ghetto. Still, I worked late night drive thru and always had some fun stories to tell. (It is amazing how many men are turned on by polyester uniforms and the smell of deep fried chicken.) I was one of 3 white employees who worked the night shifts and the other 2 were managers. No biggie to me...as long as you work I don't care your ethnic background. At this particular McD's we didn't have the speakers, you placed your order at the window. So, no headphones to keep in touch with the employee in the back booth. One night I was up in front drive thru calmly handing out the food. Not knowing what was going on at the other window. I had been told that the customer wanted everything fresh, but given no real details. She was the last customer of the night so I wasn't too worried. She pulls up to the window... Customer: "My shit better be hot." Me: "Well, your drinks won't be" C: "You're trying to be funny." M: "Guess it didn't work. I just dropped fries so it should be a..." C: "I want everything hot." M: "If you would have given me a chance to finish I would have told you that the fries would be a couple minutes and your sandwhichs should be about 3 minutes." C: "Oh. I just want my shit hot." She spots my coworker Queta coming up from the back. "You tell that fat assed nigger she needs to get a bra." M: (In total shock.) I go to Q and repeat the comment. And ask why she might have said that. It turns out that Q was sitting out of sight in the back drive through while her friend Earl was working. The customer pulled up and immediately said "Her shit better be hot." Q responded "What the hell you think this is Hot and Now? Do you see Hot anywhere in the name of this place?" The customer thinking that Earl had made the comments starts yelling at him. Q stands up and starts yelling back. This particular night was rare in that I wasn't the only female working. There were 4 of us in all. The other 2 heard the commotion and started yelling at the customer. I told the manager that I was uncomfortable handing out the food, since the customer was throwing such a fit. He said fine and let us all go. As we were leaving the store the woman was still yelling. I am suprised she didn't come after us with the car. Of course this night I was giving Q a ride home... I was convinced I was going to get caught in the middle of a fight... and me being the one person not yelling would probably be the one to get hurt. I made it home with out incident, but it did scare me. That area of Flint it isn't uncommon to have shootings. In fact the hotel behind our store was always getting busted for something and gunfire wasn't unheard of. Just be careful when you ask for hot shit... k |

Went to the doctor's on Thursday... I have walking pneumonia. I walked out with antibiotics and a cough syrup with codeine. It is the 2nd that makes me happy. I might actually be able to sleep a night through. I did major shopping this weekend. I bought so many new clothes! I somehow managed to get a credit card for Target and JC Penny. Both have small limits so I can't get in to too much trouble. But it is a sign my credit is healthier than it was. I have a whole bunch of pictures I want to put up... mostly of me with scary hair. But they will have to wait until Monday. I am too tired to try and find the right software to edit the pictures on my dad's computer. I am getting sleepy.. hope you have a good rest of the weekend. k |

Driving in to work today I was reminded of a quote I read in an otherwise long forgotten book. "Well, powder my butt and call me a jelly donut" It always make me laugh. Today though I am going on about 3 hours of sleep so I think anything would make me laugh. I also have the Violent Femmes song "Fat" stuck in my head too... "I hope you got fat. Cause if you got really really fat you might just want to see me come back." I am giving in and making a doctor's appointment today. Hopefully I can get in tomorrow. I need to get some sleep. Verlaine, you will be happy to know my coughing has given me the usual problem. I am breaking out the Depends tonight. k |

Woo Hoo. I love leave work early days. I am only here for another hour. Lunch with a friend and then I get to go wander and take some photos for awhile... then home to take a nap. I have to work at LSV tonight so when my ride said she wanted to leave early I jumped at the chance. Maybe I won't be so tired tomorrow. Well, I can dream can't I?

| Photo Memories |
| 04.12.05 (7:37 am) [edit] |
|
Went through old photos last night with the idea that I will organize them this Spring/Summer. I was looking at some of the faces and realized I didn't remember who half the people in them were. I started setting aside a toss pile. I figured if if I didn't know the names of the people I didn't need to keep the photo. I still have the negatives if I decide I need a copy for some reason. I made a second pile of photos to scan next time I go to my dad's. Photos that might have a limited shelf life. Like the Polaroid of me, Dad and my grandpa. Or the photos of my baptisim, with my mom in a mini dress. Next is to go through the rest and put them chronologically. Luckily I don't have a lot of photos. My parents didn't really take very many. A lot of the ones I took when I was younger weren't very good quality so I don't need to keep all of those either. Here are a few new photos... you can see more by clicking the banner to the right. This most recent batch are my first attempt at using a digital camera. I borrowed Carrie's for the afternoon. I didn't try anything too fancy this time. k

[image]chicalookate_37141 7673.jpg[/image] Construction time again here in Michigan. Really there are only 2 seasons in the mitten state, construction and not. Luckily this time they are doing construction at night and on the weekends, at least on my section of 94. Friday... I worked LSV's late shift. I was feeling icky, but managed to make it through my shift. One of my crushes from the bookstore came in. I could never get him to talk when I was at After Words. But I think I through him off enough that he became pretty chatty. Good news... he didn't rent porn or the Big Lebowski. (Lynne, that is for you.) Saturday... Carrie drove me around Jackson County and let me take some photos. I should have some for you tomorrow. I took a bunch on her digital camera... cemetery photos, so you are warned. :D Sunday... I worked at LSV's second store. It is on campus... and since it was a really nice day and I had about 10 customers. Mostly I worked on crossword puzzles and made jewelry. I took a tumble coming out a parking structure so it is probably a good thing I wasn't busy. I emailed Parking Services to tell them they need a sign that warns people about the big drop... the emailed me 10 minutes later to let me know they were putting one in. Quick work for the University. I thought they might need a committee. Did you know you can get a ticket for trespassing on the railroad tracks. One of my coworkers was walking on the tracks one night and they got tickets... it is a criminal offense. Three feet on either side. I had no clue. He has a pre trial consultation to see what is going to happen. Well, I should do some work. k |
| Delusions of Grandma |
| 04.08.05 (10:02 am) [edit] |
|
I saw someone had a post called "fat ass" and it made me think of my Grandma. Not that she had a fat ass, but exactly the opposit. Grandma K was 105 lb. if she was lucky. She often told the story of how she had to lie about her weight to get in the army during WWII. She told them she had lost some because she had to run all over the place trying to get her paperwork in and hadn't had a chance to eat regular meals. She never gained the 5 lb. she needed. Sortly before her death she was talking to some of my family members about how she had a nice ass. "Don't I have a nice ass?" This from my sweet grandmother who never swore or talked about anything remotely intimate? My step mom said she had a hard time laughing because she had been closer to that particular region that she ever thought she would and in no way was it nice. It was the ass of a 84 year old woman who hadn't really been eating. But it is nice that she went out of this world with a good image of her ass. k P.s. I like typing the word "ass". I tried to use it as much as possible. |

[image]chicalookate_92688 2903.jpg[/image] Still sick and using a lot of Kleenex. Just regular old kleenex, not the antibacterial or lotion kind. Those scare me. I hope I get over this soon. Carrie is going to take me around Jackson to help me become familiar with my new town. I also want to take some photos. I was searching around flickr and found a group for Holga people. Not familiar with what a Holga was I did some googling. A is a "toy" camera... pretty basic, but if you look at the gallery of photos other Holga users have taken there are some pretty amazing ones. And for only $30 it is a bargin. I am going to have to look in to getting one. I am still lusting after a nice digital, but if it takes decent pictures I am all for it. I just want to learn all I can. More later... k |

| 04.06.05 (12:00 pm) [edit] |

Okay, I can only watch or read brainless material before bed. Nothing suspenseful or thought provoking. Last night I was watching Atomic Cafe and dreamed that every time I took a picture of someone or something it got huge blisters from Radiation. This probably wasn't helped by the fact that I couldn't breath. The night before last it was dreams with X Files themes. No wonder I am so tired. My fashion tip for the day... careful wearing white. Make sure it isn't all stained. Also, beware what underwear you have on, make sure it color appropriate. And tight white clothes that show your celluite should be banished from your wardrobe. More later... k |

I am back at work today, but I am not sure how long I am going to last. I spent most of yesterday on the couch watching old X Files episodes. That and sleeping. I thought I was okay thi smorning until I had to walk from the bus stop to the library. Got all light headed and woozy. Luckily I think I can sit most of today. My Sunday shift at LSV was pretty uneventful. I did have a customer who came in and had to talk about horror movies. Of course he did the same thing on another of my shifts. He was asking why all the horror titles had "Living Dead" or "Dawn" or "Insert another zombie word" in them. "Why there must be hundreds of them". I think I was nice to him. Not sure, I was a bit cranky from being sick. Horror is one genre I can't really recommend anything in. At least not the slasher variety. I did have one very nice customer who was pretty flirty... even came back a second time and told me I was a good sales person. Of course he was gay, but sometimes you take flirty where you can get it. I had some other stuff I wanted to write about, but my brain when "pffft". k |

I am blaming this all on Lynne I was fine until I talked to her last night. A short while later I start getting a sore throat. I think she passed her germs on to me through the phone line. My mom says it isn't possible, but I am not so sure. I am working at LSV tonight. It is a 3-8 shift so I should make it. Not sure about tomorrow though. Last night I worked on some jewelry. I am really happy with how some of it is turning out. I have to take some pictures so I can show people. Moose decided he needed to "sleep" on the table while I was working. He kept pushing my supplies further and further away from me. Like he is all that smart. i need to go get some lunch. I hope everyone is having an excellent weekend.

Well, it looks like I am becoming known as the Music Nazi at LSV. A friend was in renting a video and heard someone muttering to the manager about "new girl" and "music". Personally I don't care. One of the joys of being older is knowing that I do not feel the need to be friends with my coworkers. Especially ones that are almost 10 years younger than I am. In response to Lynne's comments on late fees I can see that from a customer's point of view they are excessive. But from a business pov if the movie isn't in we can't rent it and that is revenue lost, specially if it is a new movie. And at LSV we generally only have 1 or 2 copies of any given movie. As a small business we need all the money we can get. I have some pictures I want to post, but I need to resize them. Or maybe I will put them on flickr I wasn't very happy with this last batch... but it makes me want to go out and take some better ones. k |
