Wisdom Teeth

So Ive been dreading writing something to follow the Disney post. I've been so disapointed lately with the way some things have turned out that I've been hoping to write about another fun event in my life. To top Disney wouldnt be an easy. Since nothing really exciting has happened the blog must go on. Heres a quick week in review.

So I returned to work last Saturday, the day after Disney. Things at work are hectic because we have coming up whats known as Comercial Review. It's basically a review for the whole store. So both Saturday and Sunday suck mainly because the customers in general are a bunch of nagging lazy assholes who expect Ikea to run the same way as all other stores in America. They don't like change. Ikea is a self service store. When customers want to buy something and we tell them they have to get it themselves it's like telling them their Mother Died.

"Wait what do you mean? "
"I have to get this myself?"
"How am I suppsoe to do that?"

Or after we explain we only have next day delivery.

customer- "But I need it next Tuesday"
me- "Im sorry maam we only have next day"
customer- "What am I suppose to do"
me- "Ummm come back next Monday?"


We're all pretty pissed at this but my freind especially since he wrote a letter directly to the manager. You see before Christmas time IKEA played all kinds of decent music, Depeche Mode, Morrisey, INXS etc. Now they just play Avril, NSYNC, Brtiney etc. That is getting kind of nerve racking.

Here are a few other things at work thats annoyiing me.

custimer- Whats your delivery?

Me- Well Its starts at 50 dollars for the first 250 pounds and the first 50 miles. If you exceed 250 pounds or 50 miles it will be somewhere between 50- 100 dollars (that gets said alot)

or

Customer- How do you get to the registers?

Me- Follow the arrows on the path and they'll lead you to downstairs

What I would like to say to them is

Customer- How do you get to the registers?

Me- Well follow the path and everytime you see an arrow on the floormake sure you
make a left no matter what direction the arrow is pointing

or I could Dane Cook it

Customer- How do you get to the registers?

Me- Well this is what your going to do I want you to get on the 5 south get ont he 134 west until you reach Lankershim exit. Get off there make a right and you'll see a Target. Go inside the Target and there you'll meet Steve. Steve will take you to the registers



My boss has been trying to hand out overtime from 10pm and up everyday this week. If this was any other week I would be all over that but this week has been wearing me out. Maybe because I havent really had a day to myself since before Disney. Since I havent been taking him up on the over time offer it seems that the mood has changed alot between me and him. Ive still been working my regular shifts with no call outs and sometimes I have been staying a half hour later but I can tell in his tone he is really disapointed.

I had a good Tuesday. We went to Mike and Amanda's and watched Natalie Portman on SNL and than Pleasantvile. Good Slimes Actually I hada good sunday after work too. Mollye mon was still on town and went to dinner with Danny and Shawn than we watched the season premier of The Sopranos. Good Slimes again.

A friend of mine made a comment this week at work that really disapointed me. Im not going to repeat it but after he made that comment and I had time to go home and ponder it I remembered the past when he made other comments about the same subject about a month or so ago. As a result I've been trying to figure out, should I talk to him, should I not be his freind, Should I stay away for a bit. Im not sure. The situation has had me wonder, Is a friend a friend when he brings up something that has no solution, no answer to solve it, and he knows it will either make you angry or make things uncomfortable between the two of you? The result has helped make my decision to have a very very small get together on my birthday. Maybe just 4 people. Alot of people reading this may say, Hey i didnt know you were havign a get together, thats the thing I wasnt sure if I was and now Im not.

I found a random bump on the back of my head this week. It freaked me out when it was still there after 2 days and still hurting. I made a Dr's appointment Tuesday Morning to get it checked out. Im sure it's nothing.

So now the subject at hand. Mollyes Wisdom teeth. They were removed today. All four of them. Watching her on the couch in pain is stabbing me in the heart. Theres not really much I can do but be here for her. I love her with all my heart. I will say that I have been pulling myself out of this funk I'm in since she walked out of that Dentist office. She needs me and so here I'll be, on the computer just 8 feet from the couch she's laying on.

I'm very lucky to have Mollye. Im a handful. Im not even talking about me being messy and her a neat freak. She puts up with alot. Like how she has huge smiles when I come home and I just want to get in the shower as fast as possible to wash my day away. Or how shes so talkative about her day and Im very quiet about mine. I do have a less interesting day compared to a her whose always on a different show or movie everyday. All Im saying is I love her and Im lucky to have her.
