Nov. 11th, 2016 08:24 pmI've been extremely lazy about sitting down and writing this post (I started it on 10/26). And because I put it off so long I have some ranting to do along with the squee I was originally going to post about. So I'll start with the rants and end with the squee. Everything is under a cut so you can pick and choose what you want to read.
( Fucking anxiety )
( Fucking coworkers )
( Fucking brat )
( Halloween! )
( Squee! )

May. 14th, 2016 01:44 pmI've been thinking about this post for a while so it is very long. And is actually several posts. I didn't want to spam your inboxes so each "post" is under a cut so you can choose where to start reading.
( My mother the bigot )
( Captain America: Civil War spoilers! )
( Hawaii Five-0 spoilers! )
( NCIS spoilers! )
( Yay! )
( Seriously? )
( Why are people such jerks? )
( Why do people have to hate others so much? )

Mar. 27th, 2016 02:48 pmSo I've been having a rough time of it lately and that's making this post rather difficult to write. Added to that is the fact that there isn't anyone ( save maybe one person but I have no idea because we haven't talked in a while) who will even remotely care.

Jan. 13th, 2016 06:00 pmSo, update in this post, sorta.
Today I stopped for gas on my way home and when I got home, I checked my account. And saw $11.57 at QT for my gas along with $10 at Race Track. I don't use Race Track often and definitely didn't use it today.
I called the bank and they said that the charge was done at 6:36 this morning.
When I was at work.
And they swiped a card.
Which makes no sense because I have the card in my possession.
Turns out someone got my card number and created a duplicate card.
This means that an employee at one of the places I've used it recently (since it's new I know approximately when it happened, just not where). So I will now be using cash for all the things I can pay for with cash; like my cable bill, my phone bill and putting gas in my car.

May. 23rd, 2015 11:49 amI really need to get a real job making real money so I can get out of my shithole of an apartment and into one with a washer/dryer so I don’t have to rely on my mother anymore.
When I got here she told me that her and my dad were going to visit his mother who lives a couple of towns over (I live in the DFW area so she only lives about thirty minutes away).
I made a comment about trying the new McDonald’s Home style burger since I’m going to be on my own for lunch. She told me that when I’m ready to get serious about losing weight (as if I’m not already) she found those tuna lunch kits things. I don’t like them because they don’t give you relish to put in your tuna and I don’t like the crackers they include with it. I told her I don’t need her to tell me I’m fat or unhealthy and she got all passive-aggressive/abusive by saying that it’s always about my daughter and me; that we’re always right and she’s always wrong. I’ve never said that but now that I know she’s using emotions (guilt) to abuse me I’m not taking it anymore.
Then as she and my dad were leaving they realized they need to return a video to the store. What video? American Sniper. When I said I didn’t want to watch it (which my mother called the best movie she’s seen in a long time) I explained that the guy the movie’s about wished he could go back to Afghanistan and kill more innocent women and children because they need to die because they’re not Christians (I didn’t phrase it that way, though).
We then got into a heated discussion about how I think we need to leave the Middle East to the people who live there (and this goes for all super military power countries). They tried to change my mind by telling me that, and I’m quoting my dad here, ‘some radical Muslims think that America must die’. So, even my extreme right-wing father admits it’s not all Muslims but yet he still thinks it’s okay for us to go over to their country and kill even those who do not feel this way; to kill women and children who are forced to be suicide bombers.
As they were leaving my mother told me that if I’m just going to cause tension in her house then I can do my laundry elsewhere. Well, I CAN’T because I don’t have enough money to do my laundry at, nor do I want to spend all day in, a laundry-mat.
Besides, I didn’t start the discussion. She did by asking why I don’t want to see 'the greatest movie about an American hero, ever’.

May. 19th, 2015 07:00 pmAs you may recall I work in the accounts receivable department of the corporate office of a chain of hospital gift shops. Our stores are too small for the managers to do the daily cash reports on site so they send them in (or rather they used to). Part of my job is making sure that the amount the stores enter into a webpage we call Store Web is what the bank has verified they actually deposited.
To make sure they're doing this I run a report every Tuesday. We used to have the stores wait until they returned from the bank (or got their deposit slip back if they use an armored car). We've changed it so that they now have to enter the deposits every morning before they open.
This was the first week of the new way of doing it and I forgot to run the report through yesterday. I also forgot to change the text on the emails I sent to the stores (you'll see the text below).
We have stores all over the US, including two in Hawai'i. The oldest of those stores is very good about making sure their deposits are entered. The newest store, not so much.
I sent them an email last week, forgetting that they are five hours behind me (I'm in Texas). The manager sent me an email and stressed the words 'time zone' as if I'm an idiot. I just rolled my eyes and moved on.
So, today I ran the report through Sunday instead of Monday by mistake and sent out the few emails that were needed.
Here is the email that was sent (dates vary depending on the store):
This is the response I got from the store (I'm only posting the relevant part):
First, she took my manager, the CASH manager off the email chain and added the FINANCE manager, who has nothing to do with my job. Second, she obviously didn't even fucking read the email because it clearly states that they are supposed to ENTER their deposits daily. It doesn't say anything about MAKING daily deposits. Not to mention, I had no idea they had changed their banking schedule.
And my final response to her:
She replied back with a passive-aggressive 'I'm sorry you felt that way' type of thing. And since she quoted the last line of my email I have a feeling I wouldn't have gotten that if I hadn't said it.

As of 12:00pm (CST) today, the following deposits have not been entered into the store web:
5/15
5/16
5/17
Since you are now supposed to enter each day's deposit in the morning when you review your paperwork, all deposits through Monday should be entered no later than before you open on Tuesday. Please have these deposits entered by end of day today. If there are any days that do not have a deposit, or if there are any issues, please let me know.
Thank you,
[name redacted]

Subject: Fwd: RE: Actual vs Scheduled + Bank deposit
Greetings Melissa,
PLEASE take note of the forwarded email from [name redacted].
Effective THIS week, we will NO LONGER be making DAILY DEPOSITS. The deposits drops that you were asking for has been logged, yet, I will ask ONE MORE TIME that you keep in mind the TIME ZONE DIFFERENCE!!! We are 5 hours BEHIND YOU, whiich means that at 12:30PM YOUR TIME, we are not yet in the store.
I am not sure what else we can do to accommodate you in regards to the Daily Deposit Log.
Mahalo,
[name redacted], SM

And my final response to her:
I do not appreciate the tone of this email. If you will note, the email I sent you is about SUNDAY's deposit which is to have been entered YESTERDAY. That has nothing to do with time zone differences.
I am well aware that you are behind us. I do apologize for sending you that email last week, I got distracted and sent it by mistake.
[name redacted] has told me that you are supposed to enter your deposits into Store Web each morning after verifying the amount to be deposited, regardless of when you actually go to the bank.
She replied back with a passive-aggressive 'I'm sorry you felt that way' type of thing. And since she quoted the last line of my email I have a feeling I wouldn't have gotten that if I hadn't said it.
