WTF Over?
I couldn't think of a better title, so that one will have to do......
So, I am working 7 am to 4 pm today. This older lady asks me if we have Vellux blankets. I tell her we don't but show her the different blankets we DO have. So she asks me "Where can I get a Vellux blanket?"
My job is to know what is sold in the store I work in. If you don't like what we have, go somewhere else. It is NOT my job to know what other stores carry. I don't know, I don't work in those stores. It is very similar to the dumbasses who would call the hotel and say "Your rates are too expensive, where can I stay that is nice, but cheaper?" It was not my job to know the rates of our competition. If you don't like our rates, amenties, etc., call the competition and ask them. Don't expect me to know what evry other hotel charges.
So, then the lady's husband walks up with a bag of gummy bears. She made some comment like "I buy those at home" or something like that. This man was in his 70's and that bag of candy couldn't have cost more that $1.00. When I am 70, I will eat gummy bears if I want gummy bears! Ugh. That lady was annoying.
Mom, when Dad is 70, please let him buy gummy bears if he wants them. Oh wait, he likes Twizzlers. Don't be a beyotch. Let the man have some candy if he wants it! (Hee Hee)

Believe it or not.....
I am kind of homesick.
I don't necessarily miss Saranac Lake, but I guess it is because my whole routine has changed!
Think about it...new job, new apartment, new school, new town. Everything is pretty much different. Plus the fact that I don't know anyone here. Obviously, I have met people at work and at school, but most of the other students are WAY younger than me, and some of them are pretty damn obnoxious!
As for work, I guess there are some cool people, but no one I would really hang out with!
Amy and Tim were in Wal Mart the other day, and it was great to see them, but I wish I could have hung out with them for a little while.
Luckily my friend Chuck comes to Plattsburgh quite a bit. The other day we had pizza after I got done work. (Freschetta Brick Oven Pepperoni.......it is goooooooood!) He works nights, so it is pretty nice to be able to call him when I get home if I feel like it.
AND my Aunt said that she wants to come to Plattsburgh some weekend and take me to lunch. That is definitely something to look forward to!
Part of the problem is work. I get all of these crappy shifts....like 1:00 - 10:00. That one really sucks. I hate that shift. I have been there too much lately because coworkers are taking time off and one person quit and hasn't been replaced. I don't begrudge anyone their time off, but I moved here for school, not to work there. I have direct deposit and every time I have tried to get my pay stub from work, that office is really busy. The other day they mailed them to me, and I was getting paid 55 cents less per hour than I was promised! Luckily, I will be getting retro pay and they are going to fix it, but I had "Florence" at the ready if needed! (If you have never heard of a Florence attack, it is not a pretty thing! Right Mom? : P )
AND the hours thing is going to have to change. Luckily my supervisor is supportive of and understands school is more important.
I thought that I was supposed to have Sunday off this weekend, but I'm not, which has me kind of bummed. My supervisor was on vacation and then this week she has had to work overnights because the whole department had to be changed around and it is easier to do it when it is less busy. She usaully gives me my schedule, but she wasn't there when I was so I looked at the board. She came in last night and said "So, you will be here 1-10 both Saturday and Sunday..." I was like "Nooooo......." and I told her what the other schedule said. She got kind of snotty with me and said "Don't go by that, go by mine!" and I asked her how she expected me to do that when she hadn't been there! She is really cool and I like her a lot, but I think she was just stressed because one of my coworkers took next week off at the last minute. She is letting me work a day shift, so at least that is better. The schedules are printed off a computer, so I don't understand why they are different!
Anyway, I guess I just need to talk to her and tell her my feelings, and how I would like to have some time to myself and that I do not want to work 1-10 every weekend! One of my other co-workers is going to be out for at least two weeks for surgery. I am NOT working 35 or 40 hours that week. I am sorry, I just can't do it. Guess I better talk to her soon!
I have also missed my former BW co-workers this week. James and I have been e-mailing, and I talk to Jared on the phone sometimes, but I miss Jim and Doug too! Jim and I worked together pretty much everyday for at least 5 or 6 of the 7 years that I worked there, so I guess that is understandable.
It really sucks that I can't really do anything about feeling this way. I have no time to go to Saranac Lake....I do have to go to the Dr on Wednesday to get a physical for school, but I have to come right back for a class! Oh well. Guess I will just have to beg for a weekend day off! Or demand it! Ha Ha.
I guess I am just rambling. I will stop now.
I do have a saucy new hairdo........so that makes me feel pretty good! I guess I am pretty damn easy to please! It had been months since I got my hair cut.....and I got about three inches cut off. It feels so much better! Not to mention the damn grays were getting a bit out of control!
I will really stop now!

Questions, etc.
(This could also have been titled "General Bizarrities and the Such". If that doesn't make sense to you, don't ask. The answer involves porn, a nasty, nasty mess, and things of that nature.)
1. My first question: What is up with radio stations announcing that they play hits from
"the 80's , 90's, 70's, and today"? Shouldn't it be 70's, 80's, 90's and today? It's like when you ask someone for their phone number and they don't read it in the proper rhythm. They say 51-89-110-11, or something equally strange.
2. I guess this is more of an observation than a question...but have you ever tried to parallel park on the left side of the road? It is friggin' weird. There are lots of one-way streets in Plattsburgh, so sometimes it is necessary. Obviously it can be done, but it just feels weird.
3. "I like Big Butts" is on the radio right now. All I have to say about that song is WTF?
So, this week has kind of sucked. I have felt terrible. I have a cold or something, that has pretty much settled in my chest. It hurts like hell to cough, so I try not to. Basically my week has consisted of get up, go to class, come home, take a nap, go to class, come home, go to work, and come home and go to bed. Fun, huh? I have been working too much this week too. (My dept. manager is on vacation). AND I have been too damn warm all week! They say that women don't sweat, they glow. Who said that? They are a dumbass. I have been sweating my ass off all week. It is gross. At least I don't smell like John Mark. John Mark had his own brand of stink. It was BAD. Yuck, flashbacks!
I don't have anything else right now.

This really pissed me off.
I was reading Glamour magazine today, and I read this in their letters section:
"I'm appalled to learn that some women now think abortion is unneccessary because contraception is readily available. What about women working minimum-wage jobs with bare bones insurance? Or no insurance? I couldn't afford the co-pay on birth control pills, and when I got pregnant I had an abortion since I couldn't afford to raise a child. I couldn't have even afforded prenatal care so that I could plan for an adoption. Sometimes I regret my decision, but I will never take for granted my right to make my own choice." -Sandra Utsch, Williamsport, PA
This is from the October 2005 issue, page 44, in response to a previous article about young women's views on abortions.
Does anyone else see what a complete and total dumbass this woman is? HELLO! If you can't afford birth control, don't have sex! This makes me so mad! Look into your options! I have never been to Planned Parenthood, but as far as I know, they offer low cost or no cost birth control. Not to mention that if you AND your boyfriend can't afford to buy condoms, maybe you shouldn't be having sex. Ugh. This makes me so mad.
This is not to say that I am a strict pro-lifer. I don't really think that abortions should be outlawed. In cases of rape, incest, etc, I can understand it. I personally do not believe in them, but I have a friend who has had one, and I don't think any less of her. It was her choice to make, and I would never hold that against her, it is just not right for me. I don't think I could live with myself. There are some exceptions.....for example if the baby has no chance of survival and my health or life is in jeopardy. That is a different situation.
What pisses me off is people who use abortion as birth control. The woman who wrote that letter is an idiot. She is lucky she didn't end up with complications! Then what would she have done? Abortions are not 100% safe!
Don't get me started on the "minimum wage jobs" rant!

Feliz Cumpleanos a mi hermana!!!
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS A TU,
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS A TU,
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS A AMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS A TU!!!
(This is best sung loudly and off-key)
For our non Spanish speaking friends, this basically translates to:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!!
I love you very much and I am so lucky to have you for a sister.
Can't wait to see you all for dinner tomorrow!!!

Ugh.
Today has been annoying. Well, my job has been annoying. I told them when I was hired that I did not want to be a cashier. They told me that I would have to run register on occasion, when it gets really busy, which I have absolutely no problem with.
However, lately, it seems I am up there all the time!! Then they forget about me! The cashiers all get their breaks, etc. It is like pulling teeth for me to even go to the bathroom! Then I get accused of not going up at all. Luckily, the idiot asst. manager who said that (about both my coworker and me) got shit from a bunch of people. Then they get pissed because the department looks like a bomb hit. HELLO! I haven't figured out how to be in two places at once!!!
My department manager is very cool. I couldn't ask for anyone better. The asst. manager in charge of our department is cool (and a bit of a hottie!! ; D ) but the place is starting to drive me crazy.
If this continues, I am going to look for something else. I am not going to be stressed out about this stupidness when I have more important issues....like school!!!!
I get to sleep in tomorrow............SWEET.
end rant.

Dubble-yoo-tee-eff-OVER?
Now these bastards can send spam comments to your blog? That is total bullshit!!
Anyway.....I had three stupid comments on one of my blogs.....all stupid ads for stuff nobody wants.
So, anyone can still post a comment (even without signing up...) but you will just have to do a word verification. I like to call it "Fartknocker Prevention". Ha Ha. I can be such a dork!
It is now 1:00 am. Do you know where your JenneLou is? She is at home...but why is she still awake?
On that note....Goodnight!
Confidential to General Anthony Boscarelli........what the heck is up with the delayed reaction when you post a new blog or make changes? I don't get it. Mrs. Levenstein gets kinda verklempt (aka "farklempt") when we discuss it so ix-nay on the elay-day....or something!

Happy Birthday Binka.....
This picture was taken at Lake Clear Beach...one of my favorite places.......when there is no one else there!!Binka (my grandmother and one of my favorite people!) also loved it there......and I would like to recognize that she would have been 85 years old today....I miss her so much!
(I will never forget Binka with her big straw hat, piling Amy, our cousin Matt, and me into her car "Bluebird" and taking us all to the beach. We must have been a sight to see!)
"Walking after Midnight"
"Did you know rat poison has an expiry date? When happens when it expires? Does it become delicious?" - Gregg Rogell
Ha Ha Ha! I have no idea who that guy is….but I thought it was pretty funny!
Some random thoughts:
Gas prices suck! Duh, I guess. I have a ½ a tank still from before the prices got really high…and I am trying really hard to make it last!!
As I have stated before, certain things are really annoying, like people blasting their shitty music. The other day I was walking home and someone was blasting Patsy Cline? How cool is that? It is not very often that you hear “Walking After Midnight” from a car sitting in traffic! I just thought that was cool.
On a related note….I DID NOT think it was cool that some idiot in Lake Clear felt the need to blast their shitty music. I was at my parents’ house, and some idiot had their music at a totally unreasonable level. When you live in an area like that, have some respect a$$hole! I am perfectly capable of turning on music if I want to hear some! Yes, they were ruining my Adirondack experience! (Actually, to be honest, that annoyed me in Saranac Lake, and it would annoy me in Plattsburgh too.) Totally unnecessary.
Another thing I don’t get. 20-something guys on skateboards! Uh, chumdilly? Not the quality four wheels I am looking for! LAME!
So, for what is new in the exciting life of Jenne Lou…not a whole lot!
Calculus was stressing me out! It was like the teacher was speaking in a foreign language! Not good to be freaking out the first week of classes! So, I went and talked to her, and she basically said that if I was that confused in the first week, that I was obviously in the wrong class! (They did my schedule for me…I did not pick the classes. I guess so you would be guaranteed a spot in classes that you would need.)
Work has been kind of annoying….I am remembering why I got out of retail! Thursday, I was on register for most of my shift. Huge $300-400 orders. Why, you ask? Because it was the 1st of the month and the welfaeries were out in droves. Must be nice to be able to spend that kind of money on groceries. That really pisses me off. I can even get TAP for school!!!!!!!! I better not get started on THAT subject!
Apparently, it was also “Poster Children for Birth Control Day”. I could feel my reproductive organs shutting down, or tying themselves in knots! Where do these spawn come from? This girl who had to be 7 or 8 kept screeching. Of course, they had to carts so they were there a LONG time! Then the kids running in circles….that’s good parenting when there are people EVERYWHERE. People need a license to have a dog, but any idiot can have children.
I realize that it is the parents fault, but OMG kids annoy the shit out of me! At 27, shouldn’t I be feeling some kind of maternal instinct shit kicking in?
I was probably also a bit on the grumpy side because I was on that damn register from 2:30 – 7:00. At 5:00, I asked for a break so I could go to the bathroom. I asked again. Finally at 7:00, I just closed. I was daring them to say something. Luckily they didn’t. Idiots. It was especially annoying that all of the regular cashiers were getting their breaks, etc. I can not wait to be done with this nonsense! I will never have to work retail again!!!! (Hopefully!)
I saw an awesome sign the other day. “It is nice to be important, it is more important to be nice. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone talking on a cellphone.” Awesome. They should have one in every store. NO ONE THINKS YOU ARE COOL BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CELL PHONE!!!!! Lots of people have them, you are not special.
There was this lady in my lane who was literally gnawing on her fingernails. I still have that habit sometimes, especially when I am stressed out or nervous. I realized how it looks though, and I am definitely going to try and break that habit!!
When I moved to Plattsburgh, I never bothered to hook up my cable, mainly because I was unemployed. One of my friends has asked a few times if I am going to get it. I don’t think I will because I really don’t miss it! I listen to the radio a lot and I have been trying to read more. I will also have plenty of schoolwork!! The only thing I will miss is CSI NY. That is one of my favorite shows. Gary Sinise is awesome. I guess I will have to ask nicely if someone could tape it for me! I guess I could always try rabbit ears though…..
So, I have been thinking about what I am going to do when I am done with college. I still don’t really know, but I do not think that I am going to work in a typical CPA/Accountant type job. I think I might try some other aspect, one where I won’t have to deal with the idiots of the general population quite so much. Ugh. I guess I am just not a people person. That’s not entirely true though, either. I really like the people that I work with…those in my department anyway! I guess I am just rambling incoherently.
Besides this entry is long enough. Sorry if it is totally disorganized and random!

It was especially annoying that all of the regular cashiers were getting their breaks, etc. I can not wait to be done with this nonsense! I will never have to work retail again!!!! (Hopefully!)
I saw an awesome sign the other day. “It is nice to be important, it is more important to be nice. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone talking on a cellphone.” Awesome. They should have one in every store. NO ONE THINKS YOU ARE COOL BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CELL PHONE!!!!! Lots of people have them, you are not special.
There was this lady in my lane who was literally gnawing on her fingernails. I still have that habit sometimes, especially when I am stressed out or nervous. I realized how it looks though, and I am definitely going to try and break that habit!!
When I moved to Plattsburgh, I never bothered to hook up my cable, mainly because I was unemployed. One of my friends has asked a few times if I am going to get it. I don’t think I will because I really don’t miss it! I listen to the radio a lot and I have been trying to read more. I will also have plenty of schoolwork!! The only thing I will miss is CSI NY. That is one of my favorite shows. Gary Sinise is awesome. I guess I will have to ask nicely if someone could tape it for me! I guess I could always try rabbit ears though…..
So, I have been thinking about what I am going to do when I am done with college. I still don’t really know, but I do not think that I am going to work in a typical CPA/Accountant type job. I think I might try some other aspect, one where I won’t have to deal with the idiots of the general population quite so much. Ugh. I guess I am just not a people person. That’s not entirely true though, either. I really like the people that I work with…those in my department anyway! I guess I am just rambling incoherently.
Besides this entry is long enough. Sorry if it is totally disorganized and random!
