UGH! I had a HELLUVA week at work... I may have mostly recovered now. Although, I'm still trying to figure out if dealing with crappy people is part of what I get paid for, and if those crappy people should include my coworkers. Luckily, most of the people I work with don't suck too bad, and I have some great friends there.

 

Let's see if I can sum up my week... Someone dumped several live catfish in our parking lot and all the stray cats in the area came to feast on their flopping around bodies, a customer who claimed she didn't get all her items last time she shopped gave me her receipt and when I reviewed the video tape of her transaction at the self-sheckout, she took all her items and left, so I had to go out and nicely call her a liar, and then she said that she stood over at our customer service booth next to her basket for forty minutes and apparently someone came by and stole a bag right out from under her nose, got proposed to again by the drunk guy, and as usual, I said I couldn't marry him since I already have a husband who wouldn't likely be too pleased about that idea, and then he suggested that I might just need to consider what it could be like with two of them and all I could think to say was... Goodbye. One of my pals from work got suspended for taking an extended break, some woman called to say she bought a rotisserie chicken and it wasn't cooked all the way through, turns out her daughter works for the health department and is friends with the food safety regional manager of our company, and then there was the lady we had to call mall security and the sherrif's department to have removed from the premises for soliciting money, but only after she accused me of discriminating against her based on color. Sitting in the manager's meeting for the week, I go over the safety items I am responsible for, and my boss is saying that the quarter is ending in two weeks and basically we need every dollar we can get, so everyone please maximize the sales while using minimal labor, and let's all be careful with the needless accidents and things breaking (basically his bonus is rapidly disappearing). He starts to cover the Labor Day ad, and then someone calls me out of the meeting because someone cut her hand with a box cutter...

 

 

So I saw this move, Shelter, it was awesome. A really good story... the whole thing is on youtube too! That makes it easy to watch. Shelter

 

Also, I decided that Ryan Lochte is the hottest US swimmer these olympics. Then I confirmed that with a few boys I know... Trevor at work tried to go the Michael Phelps route, but not even close... I don't care how many gold medals you have, they don't make you good looking. Picture

 

 

I saw this on myspace and found it rather... accurate, I guess, but then I suppose it's true also for any couple.

 

We don't care if you talk to other guys.

 

We don't care if you're friends with other guys.

 

But when you're sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. (I've done this, tis true) *blush*

 

It doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we're still there.

 

We don't care if a guy calls >OR TEXTS< you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned.

 

Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can't wait till the morning.

 

 

Also, when we tell you you're pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.

 

Don't tell us we're wrong.

 

We'll stop trying to convince you.

 

The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.

 

Yeah, you can quote me.

 

 

Don't be mad when we hold the door open. Take advantage of the mood I'm in.

 

Let us pay for you! Dont "feel bad".

 

We enjoy doing it.

 

It's expected.

 

Smile and say "thank you".

 

Kiss us when no one's watching.

 

If you kiss us when you know somebody's looking, we'll be more impressed.

 

 

 

You don't have to get dressed up for us.

 

If we're going out with you in the first place, you don't have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.

 

We like you for who you are and not what you are.

 

Honestly, I think a girl looks more beautiful when she's just in her pj's, or myt-shirt and boxers, not all dolled up. (Makes me the most beautiful girl in the world! )

 

 

Don't take everything we say seriously.

 

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it.

 

Don't get angry easily.

 

 

Stop using magazines/media as your bible.

 

Don't talk about how hott Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us.

 

It's boring, and we don't care. You have girlfriends for that.

 

 

Whatever happened to the word "handsome"/"beautiful"?

 

I'd be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with "Hey handsome!" instead of "Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy" or whatever else you can think of.

 

On the other hand I'm not saying I wouldn't like it ether.

 

 

Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren't being treated right by a guy, dont wait for him to change.

 

Ditch his sorry butt, disgrace to the male population and find someone who will treat you with utter respect.

 

Someone who will honor your morals.

 

Someone who will make you smile when you're at your lowest.

 

Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.

 

Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.

 

Someone who will stop what they're doing just to look you in the eyes....and say "I love you" ..and actually mean it.

 

Give the nice guys a chance.

 

 

*Holding Hands*

Girls :If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of times.

Guys : Grab it if it happens more than once.

 

*Cuddling*

Girls : When you want to cuddle with him, tell him you're cold.

Guys : Automatically move closer to her.

 

 

*Movies*

Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder.

Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.

 

 

*Loving each other*

Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her

too... And mean it.

 

 

*Lying below the stars*

Girls : When you're both lying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat

Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers.

 

Hugs,
