I seriously have been sitting here trying to write down some lists but I just can't bring myself to do it. It's 11:50 right now and I've got the NYE footage on, just cuz I always feel like I'm supposed to have it on. I'm not really paying all that much attention to it, but I feel required to see that ball drop. Maybe once that happens I can turn it off and focus on some lists. Of course by then it will kind of be too late, but that's sort of my M.O.
In the meantime, people bothered me again today. Surprise? I got a call from my mom saying my nephew was spending the night at her house. She wanted to see if I wanted to come over, and when I said yes, if I could pick up some pizzas on the way since I live practically next-door to a Pizza Hut. No problem. Put the order in online. Feeling like Mr. Organized. I show up at Pizza Hut and it is a little busy. A line of four groups waiting to put in or pick up orders. So, I get in line. I'm not going to get upset in this situation because I see the employees working as fast as they humanly can. Of course, that's not going to stop other people from complaining, which bothers me enough, but they didn't stop there. While I was there, the place got slammed. First of all, lots of people blatantly cutting in line, acting like they're just asking how long things are going to take, but then monopolizing the attention so they can place an order and then shout at the guy trying to take and send out orders while he's working. But one woman in particular, I've never wanted to see a trap door open up so much in a long time. She comes in later than most of the other people there but works her way up next to the register to say, "You know, you've got a lot of people waiting here!" Oh! Really?!? And then she stands there for 15 minutes, complaining the entire time to anybody who will listen to her. Then the guy behind the counter gets a chance to take her order, and she turns to the kids she came with and says, "What kind of pizza do you guys like?" You have got to be joking! You're standing here all this time bitching and you have no idea what you want to order?!? I had kept my cool all that time but now I was starting to get mad. Had nothing to do with any service issue, just this woman who had no regard for anybody else's time. So, happy new year. Go to hell! Not you, that woman, and all the other people I'll encounter in 2010.
Why do I watch this Times Square thing? I don't like New York, I don't like crowds, I don't like Carson Daly, I don't like parties, and I have no particular feelings for New Year's aside from enjoying another day off work. Let me turn this shit off, play some records, and make some lists.

That's why we need to move to the Pacific Northwest and get the heck out of VA. The general people here are the suck. Totally.
ReplyDeleteAnd you want to know what I did for NYE? Ate a rediculous amount of Sunflower and fell asleep at 10PM watching the 5th season of Lost with my parents It was EXCELLENT.
Why do I always misspell ridiculous? Forgot a period too... yuck.
ReplyDeleteIt's because the spelling of ridiculous is, you got it, ridiculous! In other words, absurd. And because when you want to really emphasize it saying "REEEEEEEEEEE" is a lot more effective than that weak "rih" that Webster's forces on us.
