Happy Birthday To Me...

Well my birthday was actually the other day, and my BFF came to visit with my Peanut, Curly Q, and Munchkin. I have been so excited for this visit and nervous since my roommate's mom and brother were going to be here at the same time(only for part of the time). I had to work on Friday, even with company in town, since I have been working 2 jobs I only had to work one, but still it kind of sucked. Anyway, I have been so cranky and irritable I don't know what to do with myself, I feel really bad since I haven't seen them in awhile, but I just can't seem to help myself. I think its because I feel so overwhelmed with working 2 jobs, and that I'm going to be 40 in 2 years and I'm working 2 jobs (1 that is a temp job) and the other one that isn't anything I want to do for the rest of my life. I think that this is all making me crazy and as well as the fact that I went off my "Happy Pills" for the first time in 7 years. I think that this all wraps up into a nice package of crazy for me. Anyway, we have had some good times even though I have been cranky, I wish my time off could last.

Aliens

These past couple of days I have been talking on the phone to my friends, yeah I know for all that know me that's a really big shock. Anyway, I've been talking to people in my old place of employment and they have reminded me of the insane people I used to work with, here is one wacky example. There is a lady that works there and I use the term work very, very loosely. Anyway, Quasimodo as I will call her~she got this nickname because she has a very large goiter on her shoulder that she is having treated holistically. Yeah, I know I would be like get that thing off of me...um instantly at the doctor's office demanding it to get lopped off.

So I always tried to avoid talking to Quasi, since it was totally 5 minutes I couldn't get back, she had nothing of value I wanted to hear.(yeah very snarky of me, but oh so true!) I know that sounds mean, but here is an example. One night as we were leaving the store, she started talking to another freak that I worked with he is called the Toucher (picture a really thin Lurch from the Addams Family) he would invade your space and touch you, not inappropriately because that would have called for a major Roshambo event, but put his had on your shoulder or something along those lines) anyway I digress... so Quasi and the Toucher are having a conversation about aliens and Quasi, is stating how she knows they exist she has seen them there everywhere and she is an expert. As I was listening to this I thought to myself that it explained so much about her and her goiter and every other freaking thought I had ever had about her, it just made sense.

Her latest is that she is wearing a foot cast of some sort because she dropped a label machine on her foot and needed to go to the clinic, I don't know this clinic but they are seriously some whisky puking alkies (my nephew Spanky said crack smokers was over used so my sister came up with this phrase) anyway, she has to get off of her feet as often as she feels necessary! Yes, lets hand one of the laziest people in the world the keys to the kingdom. All of the talk made me think of how great it is to not have to work with her anymore.

And while I feel sad to have left a few great people to stand alone at that store, I do know that I am grateful to not have to work with such extreme freaks in my new store.
