Work:

So, they hired a new pharmacist a few days ago. I didn't work with him until day before yesterday. So my first impression was that he seemed pretty cool. I was the one who talked to him the most out of all the techs... and I guess that's why he targetted me for harrassment. The pharmacy manager who is also a chauvenistic pig reprimanded the new guy for talking to me while I was filling a prescription which required no thought. It's not like I was counting as it was liquid. I just have to pour to the line. So the new guy looks at him and says, "Oh, I forgot. She's a blonde and a woman." I almost lost my shit. I was thinking excuse me? Wtf did you just say? Instead, I played it cool. Didn't say anything, but graffittied it to my memory for later service. Well, my coworker over heard what he said and looked at me and realized I was fuming. So she actually talked to upper management about it. Well, needless to say, today after the guy went to lunch, he never fucking came back. This man who is almost in his fourties, maybe even in his fourties, quits and doesn't tell anyone he's quit. So he called Dave, our district manager to tell him that he is not going back to work there. So Dave calls my manager. Then the guy calls my manager. I think this whole drama is hysterical. Whatever right? I didn't even say anything to management. I was going to give him a second chance because I'm a nice person. Then Shawn, my boss comes over to me and talks to me about what he said, and I explained how it offended me but that it wasn't me that squealed on him. He said I know. Blah blah blah. And I turned to him and said, "Oh, by the way, you offended me too yesterday." And he was astonished, like omg what did I say. So I explained that when everything was clean, and done and we were caught up, I was standing there waiting for him to stop jibber-jabbing with the new guy and futzing around and to check the prescription that I had just inputted into the computer. He turns around and sees me standing there and says, "Don't just stand there and look pretty". I immediately turned it around on him and said, "I'm waiting for you to do your job." Well, needless to say, that shut him up for the rest of the night. In fact, he could tell I was so irritated he actually sent me home early. I have never been so pissed off at work situations. Ever. So, for now, everything seems to be settling. Hopefully it will stay that way or I will walk out.

Home:

Nothing really is happening at home. My cat hates me for forcing her to take her medicine. She hates to be brushed too and I was attempting to do that earlier tonight as well. My mother pissed me off at work today. We work together and she upset me today too. I'm out of shape. And I have a tendency to get wiped out quickly. So I'm actually unloading the warehouse order filled with medications, buckets full of this shit, and she has the nerve to tell me to stop huffing and puffing because I'm out of breath. I said leave me alone, I'm doing my job. Everyone seems to undermine me at work, and I fucking work my balls off. I get pissed when people tell me how to work. I know how to work. Now, leave me the fuck alone. My mother also likes to make a point to everyone else that works with us that I am incompetent in all I do. It's really upsetting. I had to hold back tears between what she said and what that fucktard pharmacist said the day before. So, I'm upset with her. My father is upset with me because I don't do what he asks me to do. I'm 20 fucking 2 (22) and I still have a curfew. Don't ask. Please guys... just don't ask. I have a weird thing about blood and water. Family dedication and what not. I just can't wait to move out. That's all I can say.

Personal:

I miss Dominic. I hope he gets back from Scotland soon. I've been meaning to swipe a book from Barnes and Noble about the history of Scotland, but I keep forgetting. But, I did swipe Chuck Palahniuk's new book SNUFF. Another thing I'm upset about is my lack of money. I am so poor, it keeps me up at night. I don't know how I am ever going to catch up and get out of this debt. It's insane. I'm just going to have to do it bite by bite, but I could really use some help. Like... really use some help. It sucks. Tomorrow, Mercie, Fae, and I are heading up to Centralia, PA, the place that inspired the video game Silent Hill, as well as the motion picture based on the game. The story is that the people of Centralia had this trash dump that they would burn, well, the coal mines nearby caught fire. They attempted to put it out several times but to no avail. The fires will continue to burn for another 1,000 years before they go out. The federal government bought out most of the houses and buildings and sent people to the nearby town of Mount Carmel. They levelled the buildings they bought, but couldn't buy out everyone. There are officially eleven remaining people living there, including the 90 year old mayor. The zipcode of the town has been revoked and you cannot find it on a map. The fires continue to rage in the coal mines underneath the town causing sink holes, and the trees of the surrounding area to be bleached white from long exposure to heat. The ground is so hot that when you set a match to the ground, it immediately ignites. I'm excited and can't wait to take pictures tomorrow. Hopefully, no one will bother us while we are there.



SO.... I guess that's it. That's a long blog for me. Sorry if it's too boring.
