The name "fez" is Turkish for "Hat".

In the state of Queensland, Australia, it is still constitutional law that all pubs (hotel/bar) must have a railing outside for patrons to tie up their horse. ( really now?!)

Spam stands for Shoulder Pork and hAM.

No more titles, Im to tired

Native Americans never actually ate turkey; killing such a timid bird was thought to indicate laziness.

Factoid

Mr. Peanut was invented in 1916 by a Suffolk, Virginia schoolchild who won $5 in a design contest sponsored by Planters Peanuts.

Factoid

The United States has the most money, power, airports, cell phones, radios and ISP's.

The United States consumes more energy than India, the Middle East, South America, Africa, South East Asia and Oceania combined - which means more than 3.1 billion people.

Factoid

The USA has more personal computers than the next 7 countries combined

Shit

It just became painlessly obvious that I must always be right. Why is that?

For Rosa!

I've tried to convince Rosa that the reason that her links have all been pushed down to the bottom of her page is because of her lack of posting. I also am having the same problem. I shall fix this in 12 more posts, So I shall begin my random short blogging entries now.

I run away to different countries

I don't know excatly why I'm now posting in two parts...But I am okay? My blog permits that kinda of shenanigans! But anyways! What I came back for is to give this little announcement!
I'm Leaving the country. Where? I don't know...When? I'm not sure...Why? Because America sucks and I must get some new perspective before I go public and start blasting my "Stuck in America" song. I just kinda want to get away. Some people drink. Some people do yoga...I run away to different countries.

Thinking a Lot less

I'm thinking a lot less at this 2:41am time. Yet rather...I'm thinking to much. I'm over analyzing everything I'm doing, have done and will be doing for the next month and it's making me insane. STOP THINKING...SLEEP! Yet alas, I shall not be sleeping. I will rather be up seeking out word of the day calendars online...By the way today is:

cognizant
DEFINITION: (adjective) aware, mindful
EXAMPLE: Cognizant of the fact that it was getting late, the master of ceremonies cut short the last speech.
SYNONYMS: conscious, judicious, observant


So things at work are as always in the simmer. I'm still not a supervisor and people are still bitches. But I'm working on not caring...(maybe the last sentence shows my Un-progress). Today was strangely busy and of course I was left in charge. The big boss likes to do this thing where he sits in the office that sits directly in front of the cash registers and watches me squirm. He has me do this thing called " speed weaving" It's non more than me talking to guests ( which I'm awkwardly awful at) and helping them put their stuff on the belts. I also must even the lines out. People are always piling up on one side of the registers and not moving down to where people are open, so I must sit there and announce to them all " There's less waiting down here if you would like to step down!" In which they all just kinda look at me...And stay excatly where they are. Aghh, there loss!
There's this guy at work today and we got into a very interesting conversation. We started talking about how he felt that dyeing by being hit by the worlds largest rubber band ball would be the best way to make an exit. To this I must give ketoes. What a creative idea. People are getting all " uncreative" with their deaths. I mean...Who gets stabbed anymore? That's so last year!

Two Years

I got my review today at work. I have officially been at this job for 2 long long years! The review I got was on paper an excellent one. On 5 levels of rating (outstanding, excellent, satisfactory plus, satisactory, and unsatisfactory) I received a rating one point under outstanding but still in the excellent area. On a rating scale of 2.5-4.5 I received many 4.5's and nothing less than 3.5 so my question is...Why the HELL am I being told I'm not qualified to be a supervisor? Why am I doing the job everyday...And not getting the promotion that they have decided to give to somebody completely unqualified and who has never even watched the lanes...But I'm not bitter or anything!

I just don't know...Yeahhhhhh....no.

Hahahahaha....hahahahahahahahahhahahahaha...hahahahahaha!

Are marbles made of marble?

Do the actors in the re-enactments on Americas most wanted, ever get arrested (because they were seen on TV portraying the criminal)?

Why do bullies always ask "what’s your problem" when they're obviously not going to solve it?

When people say, "I’m so tired it's not even funny" or "my head hurts so much it's not even funny", why would it even be funny in the first place?

I've got a new way to Walk! Walk Walk!!

With a new resolution to not let people walk all over me I examine my new lease on the week at most. At least that's what people at work tell me is happening. It seems that me never being able to say no leads to me being walked over more than a hooker on Sunday ( what that means...I don't know, it just sounded funny at this excat moment...We shall see about later) But anyways, I took matters into my own hands today when I went to the HR team lead at work. She was pretty much asking for it, I told her " You know, I do a LOT for the front lanes, and I don't ask for much, just to get paid for what I do. Even that is okay, me doing the job and not getting paid for would be worth it if I at least got a "thank you" from Skipper. You know...As long as I have worked here...He has never thanked me? I don't think he realizes all that I do up there! I do a lot and If he doesn't agree, than he needs to tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can work on it! He can't just keep on going on like this and not telling me what's up!" She said she's going to talk to him and I really know how the whole conversation is going to go: Skip...Collette's complaining again! Just say thanks once in a while, who cares for what and she'll be happy" Oh how they will be excited tomorrow when I come in and bring them the new schedule that I created thus solving the " I'm Not getting my breaks and lunches in food Ave" thing.

Diet Version

I have a sunburn on my face. I am happy. I relaxed for hours in my sisters pool today. Enough said!

I don't understand the weather

There are days in my life where I feel much less than sane. Today, I walked into work, with this idea that " I HATE this place" This Hate isn't some petty thing, It's grown into a serious loathe for this place. My job has turned into a large metaphor for everything in life I can't stand. I don't understand how I could of done all this. How could I have turned into one of these people filled with hate and distrust for the human kind? I'll tell you the truth, I almost believe that there are way less than half of this society's people that are sane and kind. I used to be one person who would argue with you that people are for the most part kind. In my mind there where people who walked around and said thank you and please, people who opened doors for one and another, people who could forgive a person who accidentally cut in line. Yet alas, I stand a living contradiction to all of what I wanted to be and who I was. People are cruel! People make you cry on purpose, people cut in line and will yell at you if you don't check them out the speed of light! I don't know what it is, do you have somewhere to be? Is it my fault you are late? Or should you of started shopping earlier? I don't know...I don't care! But now I'm just lieing to you...And myself. I do care about people. I do care that all I can see is the "evil" in society. There ARE good people. There are a lot of good people and what makes me upset isn't that there are some cranky people and I seem to be drowneding in them, it's the fact that I have slowly started to become one. I'm a cranky, smart ass, depressed, rude, person. I am. There are people who I truly love...Who I have recently started to hate. I truly can't handle them. When I start talking to them, I start saying in my head " I miss the old you" But What I'm realizing is the old me! The old Collette would never hang up on people because they where " pissing me off" the old Collette would never cut work because " I don't like it" The old Collette would of stayed and stayed with a smile, because it's a job and it's not supposed to be easy! It was the wise Drew Cary who once said
" Oh! You don't like your job? I believe there's a club for that! It's called EVERYBODY! And they meet at the bar!"

So here is my plan of action/reaction:
No more retail!
What ever retail I must still live through, get over it! Look at the good sides and become happy with what life has given me! Hey, I do have one of the house thingys people enjoy having! And I do have a stable (yet insane) job. I can provide for myself and I have good credit! I'm living the American dream! Hahaha, If only that's what I wanted...Well, leaving this depressing entry behind, I think I shall work on my "Project R" *more to come about that later!

Lounge Rat

It's always when I have a day off! Not that I want to work...Yet I would rather be working than feeling like I do. My back has been bothering me ( which I believe is because of my funton/bed) and I have these flu/cold like symptom's. All and all, my voice has this sexy deep thing going on but I still feel slow and Icky. Other than being sick I'm doing pretty good. I slept in all day yesterday, woke up for breakfast...Went back to sleep, woke up for Lunch...Went back to sleep, I finally got up around 5:30pm. It's because I never seep when I work. I'm working all the time, doing nothing other than work actually. Now with this large ice pack on my back I'm sitting here watching Billy Madison, which is the best movie ever! So I'll catch you all up on my lounging later!

Ohhh and Ahhhh

My day has been shit like in terms.
Considering me and another co worker have been sitting here for the past 10 min Ohhh'ing and Awww'ing at the Target Country site talking about how strange it was because it was nothing like our store or website I think I owe it to you all to inform you...That store is anything but 100% happy. Well...I lie, I'm not 100% happy. I don't feel like retyping to I'm going to copy and paste:

Str141: I went and asked him about the gstls postion...he did everything but laugh in my face

***: are you serious?

Str141: Ive watched the lanes for 2 days now, not helping out once in a wile, but the entire day, lunches, breaks and all, but yet, he seems to think #$%^% is more qulafied for it considering shes never even watched once

***: did you explain to him that you are already trained for it?

Str141: I asked him what they where doing with the postion and he said...well...we already....well, first it goes around the store, like out of store, than to inside, #$%^ has expressed intrest and...well you know there are other postions avaliable, theres a cosmetics pos. open and a electronics open....you know, to be a gstl you cant be in school really, its a 100% full time job..."

Str141: so pretty much its going to $%^%$# or anybody but me, even though her avaliblity is half mine and shes not triend for it yet, i dont understand what the hell im not doing

***: the is not true.... ## is in school and ### works another job


Okay, so I'm a horrible person and will now go crawel in my nicely made hole and as I am calmly roll into the fetel postion...I think I'm going to curse their name untail the dark ground takes to me hell. Dermatic...yes...but I'm pissed and I don't care what I am anymore...I deserve that job! I've worked my butt off for it! I want it dammit!
