abersparky in vegas

Yea yea yea, I know… I haven’t updated this thing in a while… but believe me, I’ve got plenty to tell.

OK, so Sunday I was running up to the mall to meet up with a friend. I didn’t get up there until around 6.30 so I knew that everything was about to close. Anyway, I met up with Kevin and we talked for a few and then I told him I had better head out; so I leave and am walking to the doors to the walkway to the parking garage and go to push and nothing…. they were locked… all of them… I was like “SHIT!” I had already pulled out my keys and sunglasses. So I turn around and go back because, since I used to work in the mall, I knew there was a service corridor just around the corner that led to the same garage. As I’m walking back a family consisting of a mother, father, and their daughter, are walking towards the exit, all with hands full of shopping bags. The mother asks “are they locked?” and I said “yea, they’ve already locked them.” Now, I was going to be nice and say, “but there is another way out just down the hall.. I’ll show you,” but no, the bitch had to get ignorant. She starts yelling that I just let someone out and that their car was out there. As I stand there amazed at how stupid this woman is, I try to explain that the keys I’m holding are my own and that I do not work for the mall. I had my Friday’s uniform on (which consisted of a black polo and black pants). She still stood there insisting that I had let those people out and that I was lying. THEN some oriental woman starts yelling at me too… “MAI CARR IZ OUT DER!!” HOW HARD IS IT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT I DON’T WORK FOR THE MALL… the only people who knew I didn’t work for the mall were the father and daughter which we already walking back and leaving the mom behind. GEEZ!

Whew… ok, now that I’ve got that out of my system.

Monday was pretty bland… I went to work at the Hospital until 2, then went to Friday’s to PIC for Chris. Did that til 3am to help out Matt, since I don’t like leaving the last manager there alone. Health-wise, I should have gone home at 10 when he said I could, but I offered to help stay and cash everyone out, then I offered to do the drops and help with the closing reports. Anywho, I got home around 3.45 and knew I had to be up in an hour so I tried not to go to bed, but I ended up falling asleep and not waking up until around 6. When I did… I FELT HORRIBLE! My whole body was aching and my throat felt so hoarse. I was burning up, sneezing, and coughing, ugh… it wasn’t pretty. I tried to call out sick, but the only number I knew rang forever, so I got dressed and went all the way into work just to call out. Marsha (one of my supervisors) went nuts when I showed up like I did. She said she would have rathered me not show up at all and explain tomorrow than have had to come all the way in just to call out.

After that I went home and got plenty of sleep. Still felt pretty bad when I went to bed but felt a ton better when “mom” brought me DayQuil. I felt so loved today too…. everyone was all inquizative about where I was and if I was ok… Jackie was like “Where were you yesterday?! Cuz don’t even think that you wern’t missed bucko!” That made my day… it even made me forget about the bitch who stood right at the counter and stared at me for 10 minutes while I set up, after I told her that I wasn’t open yet. She just stood in the same spot and stared at me until I opened, and then she was like, “I would like a coffee, I’d better hurry up before my intern finds me.” She was a patient, and I’m not too sure about serving patients, considering some of them are on a lot of medication. I need to ask “mom” about that tomorrow. Anywho…

OH YEA!!! I almost forgot to put this in here… my first week at the hospital, I’m parking my car and while doing so this bitch is staring at me as she’s walking by. I was a few minutes late and had decided to park in one of the visitor parking lots that NEVER fills up because I didn’t have enough time to go all the way around to the employee parking lot. Anyway, I’m walking up to the hospital and she’s walking into the Ambulatory Center which is right next to the hospital. I don’t even have my badge out and not wearing anything that would suggest that I’m a hospital employee. Anywho, I see her walk up the steps to the building and I’m walking up the ramp to the hospital; all of a sudden she comes down some other ramp and cuts me off and says “Do you work for the hospital?” (( Now, first off, I’m generally a nice guy… if I make a mistake and someone corrects me on it, I normally don’t lash out at them, UNLESS they are extremely rude about it. Keep that in mind… )) I replied “Yes,” and proceed to walk around her when she steps in front of me again and says “you need to move your car; that’s for patients only.” I responded by saying “I’m a little late, I’ll move it later,” and walked around her into the hospital. I heard the sound of her sucking her teeth as I walked away. About 3 or 4 hours later she walks into the hospital and walks past me asking if I had moved my car yet, to which I replied, “nope, haven’t had the chance.” Now if she had been nice about it and said something to the effect of “would you mind moving your car, that’s supposed to be for paitents only…” I would have had NO problem moving my car, even if I was half an hour late. But I will admit, I did move my car later that day…. WHEN I LEFT WORK! HAHA… stupid bitch.

I’d better get my stuff together for class and prepare to tell my teacher why I wasn’t there on Monday. I just hope that I didn’t miss too much.
“I don’t think I have another tear in me… oh wait, I do…” — — — “If it doesn’t make sense in your head, don’t say it!”

LOLOL haha Sorry Zach, but you knew that was going in there. HAHA.. anywho… so much has happened lately that I don’t even know if I can put it all in here. Jobs are going great. I sat down (well stood actually but you know what I mean) with my managers Chris and Heather and told them that I needed to stop serving for a while. I’m not making the money I need to and the hours are really unhealthy for me since I’m working at the coffee kiosk at 6 am every day. So getting out of Friday’s at 3 and then having to drive home and get up at 4.45 to get ready for work isn’t going to work out too well. I don’t know what I’m going to do about the 3 shifts I was scheduled this next week; I think I should be able to handle it for one more week, at least I hope so. Anywho… I’m just going to be working in the office for a lil while until I figure out what I want to do.

Today is just a relax day. Hopefully I get everything done I need to… laundry, cleaning, and studying. All of which I should get back to…

This past week has been GREAT! Went out to Ocean City for the weekend with Zach, Erin, Szymon, Devin, Kristen, and James. Had a BLAST while down there. Everything was so much fun, and it was good to get away for a lil bit. While waiting for Devin and Kristen to get there, we all went down to the beach and froze our asses off. But it was all good. (“I’m a dolphin!” “WAVE!!!!!”) That night we went to the boardwalk and walked around for a lil while. Devin and Kristen got there around 12. Definitely missed them, hadn’t seen Kristen in a while and missed her bein’ there.

Saturday we all went to the beach for about an hour, but I knew that I was going to get sunburned and everyone was getting hot so we went back to the hotel’s pool and swam for a lil bit and then got in the hot tub to relax. Erin almost broke her neck going to the bathroom. (WHOOP!!! “Slippery Floor”) It’s ok Erin, I’m sure those guys thought it was funny. We all went to Phillip’s for dinner. Had some fun while waiting to get a table. James was extremely happy after he bought himself a present which he later used that night. I think the phrase “one too many” comes to mind on that one. Anyway… that night Zach and I went down to the boardwalk and just spent some time together, which was great. Erin and them went out to H2O, one of the under 21 clubs. They had a great time. Devin stayed at the hotel ‘cuz he’s too old to get in. HAHA… don’t get that too much do ya? We did a lil drinkin’ that night… well… everyone but me. I didn’t drink any ‘cuz all they had was Corona’s and Rasberry Coolers (for the girls). But it was cool. Had quite a few experiences that night… lol… “IT’S LIKE A HORSE!”

Sunday we left around 2 after walking on the boardwalk some more. Stopped by Cambridge on the way back to see Kevin and John. Missed John due to work, but had dinner with Kevin and caught up on old times. Glad that he approved. LOL. Monday I had to get back to work at Friday’s. Made some money and got to come home. Today was a lil bit crazy, but still good.

Can’t wait until Thursday. Hope everyone had a great weekend too.

Well, we’re off to the beach; hopefully it won’t rain as much as they say it will. It’s only 40% chance of rain so hopefully our weekend will be the other 60%. Just waiting on Zach and crew to get here and then we are on our way. They just called and said they were in Ho Co so I’d better get finished packing. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I know I will.
