What are you doing / did you do today / CHAT THREAD

[connies96hatchie]

I can't do retail, too much public interaction, and the public is generally pretty stupid and not very understanding.

That's the point! So I can be SMART and RIGHT for once! I love it when they tell me I'm stupid and I must be new... It gives me good stories to scare my friends with whom have never been in retail. I have more tolerance for people I interact with in retail, than I do in my own crazy Italian family.

I actually had a mid 40's guy throw a coffee machine at me 8 years ago because I asked him politely to step aside so I can help another customer while he was waiting for his wife, whom was searching for another coffee pot. The f**ker had some pair of balls to tell me he wasn't moving and he was staying right where he is. So I said something under my breath of "go f**k yourself" and he threw the shitty coffee pot at me! My managers heard the disturbance and escorted the man out, meanwhile he's screaming his balls off out in the parking lot saying that I should be fired for my snotty attitude. I would have liked to be that customer service rep that got the complaint at our headquarters in NJ at the time.

We get those kind of crazies as well. We've had women with a disgusting appearance come in and berate the customer service girls for her own stupidity.

I work as a night shift manager at a barbecue restaurant and we get all types of low class, unintelligent people. They're always a pain in the ass.

My mom told me one night we had two large train sets, like the box was bigger than my hood, and they were up front by the registers. These two people came in, and one person distracted my mom by asking here where stuff was, and the other person grabbed the train set and walked out with it to their car which was conveniently parked right out by the door.

I worked my ass off for 11 hours welding custom bumpers for big rigs. Plus side is that i got permission today to us an 06 dodge 3500 cummins diesel weld truck on nights and weekends to make extra cash. I will be running the truck for $75 an hour. leaving $50 an hour to the guy I will be sub contracting from. We just have to work out details as to whos liability insurance i will be running under. The truck owner or the contractors. Under the contractors i will be taxed. I am sitting down with the contractor on monday for coffee.,

Heres the truck

Worked a shift in an area I've never worked before. Only left 10 minutes late which isn't too bad.

I found out today that my bosses decided to be nice and give me next friday off. It's like the 4th friday I've had off since I started working almost a year ago. Woohoo!

Not today but the other day I came across this...

My '99 daily Civic in the background lol

The big guy in the pink just took it for a test drive. He was interested in buying it. I overheard their conversation and the price for this one is $1.8 million. The guy was so big he could barely get out of the thing. He was wrestling his legs out of the car lol

I see all kinds of Ferrari's, Lambos, P-Cars, McLarens, Bentlys, Rolls Royce, Aston Martins, you name it around town every single day but so far takes first for most expensive and rare I've seen around town. Couple of dealership guys had it out. I asked them how fast they've gone in it and one said 205mph and the other 195mph lol.

 

[Osiris19]

Holy crap. It went from 86 degrees on Wednesday to 44 degrees today and it's pouring like a son of a gun. I took the highway so I would make it to my doctors appointment on time and I couldn't see anything. You couldn't even see brake lights. It's ridiculous. Anyways I have my interview at 11:30 today. So I gotta get home and change when I'm done here.

I love it when one of your roommates just has his friends stay over for a couple nights without letting anyone know.
And they view it ok to hog up your bathroom and use your soap and whatnot. Then come home at 3am being loud as s***.

Keeper from last night, went downstairs to look at all the bottles and cups they left when they went out, and see the back door handle slowly start turning.
Unlock the deadbolt and yank that motherf***er open to see some random dude who obviously didn't know anyone there just walked up and wanted to get some booze.
Dude's lucky I didn't approach that differently.

Sounds like where I have a house in Miami
Know where a few live down there and the last time I checked their Bug dealer, had a 'base' and the GrandSport Vitesse fresh back from Jay Leno's Garage & Top Gear USA trying to do a top-speed run in Tampa.

They're insane though, wonder if that number badge is total for this year or of the GS models...?

I worked retail for like 5 years. I hate retail. People are dumb, stubborn sheep. It's astounding how so many people are as stupid as they are. I'm so glad I transitioned out of retail.

I hate soundbars.. I have a 5.1 Onkyo, and it has been serving me quite well.

Purdy. We see lots of crazy cars in Huntington, cruising PCH. One day, a buddy of mine sends me a pic via text, and asks "what car is this?". It was a Bugatti, back in 08. Had to be one of maybe 4 in the states at the time. He stops next to him, and it's Scott Scorch (famous producer for Cash Money Records).

Speaking of... my roommate's girlfriend has been staying at our house, while no one is home, and doing her laundry. Going to have a talk with him tonight. That s*** ends today.

 

[crash!]

Just laying in my boyfriends bed, wondering if I should do something with my life today. Either clean his room, its a f**king disaster. Or go and work on the coupe right now.

 

[EJackBauer8]

Taking a dump at work! The best! What sucks is that I'm kinda high right now and I don't want to do anything.

 

[young_]

Trying to decide what I want to cook for dinner..

I'm thinking shrimp.

Interview went really well, but I'm not sure about the job. It's 8.50 an hour, forty hours plus some Saturdays. It's biweekly pay. I don't know if I can do that. Lol. If it's slow, I won't work as much. If it's busy, I'll work to death. The guy who interviewed me pretty much told me he liked me and would hire me it it was up to him. He called one of their the his and had him ask me questions about what I can do and he said he liked me as well. They both would want me, however I won't here back till next Friday because he has to talk to the district manager about me since I'm going to school in august so I'll only be working for like four months.
