Another day is finally over…

OMG WANT! <-my birthday is coming up soon-ish

So today was…  Interesting to say the least.  It was busy, for a brief period of time during lunch and I tell you some of the people we had today astounded me to no end!  This one woman who quite obviously liked to call attention to herself a great deal or is blind or damn near close to it was wearing the most outlandish outfit EVER!  Try and picture this:  A woman who appeared to be in her late 50\’s with a gigantic bouffant of hair wearing an orange sorbet colored headband and a ton of exceptionally tacky jewelry.  Topped of with a matching orange sorbet colored blazer, which she had draped a rather obnoxious neon orange/pink/yellow shawl teamed up with wide leg leather pants and these HUGE white framed sunglasses that reminded me small plates.  I couldn\’t help but laugh every time I walked by her, or seen her because she looked ridiculous!   I had my camera at work today and I was tempted to take a picture because if anything for the entertainment value!

Then this jackass got all pissy because we don\’t serve clotted cream.  Which is illegal in Quebec (thank God because the thought alone makes me want to yarf something awful!) because its not pasteurized EWWWWWWWWWWWW!  Being a Chef there is few things I will turn my nose up at without trying it, this would be one of them.  Anyway back to this jackass…  He got all snotty because I told him while we have our own version of Devon cream, we only make that for special orders and for afternoon tea and we don\’t currently have any on hand.  Generally scones get served with butter and our homemade jam which he didn\’t want.  Fine, he asked for dessert instead.  Since he had 3 other people with him and I was working alone at that time I had my hands full trying to prepare this order and serve people.  He walks back to the table and proclaims quite loudly that \”we\’re useless because we don\’t have cream.\”  I\’m seething, thinking you immigrant asshole it might be acceptable to treat woman like shit in YOUR country but this is Canada sweetheart and I ain\’t going to tolerate that shit for a second!

Thankfully Donna came back upstairs and I let her deal with it because I was pissed off at this ignorant and rude comment and was fighting the urge to stab him in the face…  So Donna goes over with their order and offered them lemon cream which Krystal had just brought up from the dessert leftovers.  So he got all arrogant with her too!  Donna told him the same thing we usually only serve it for afternoon tea, to which he replied\” well its the afternoon and I\’m having tea. \”  Not the same thing!  So Donna (God bless her patience!) gave him the low down on what afternoon tea (dainty tea) was  and that it required a reservation and all that.  He\’s like well we drove in from the west island blah blah blah, so?  We have people who come to the tea room from the US and Europe which is a whole lot further then the West Island jackass, next time ORDER AHEAD!  Oddly enough, when they went down to the bakery they were super nice to the boss lady.  OK yeah Donna and I don\’t look as old as we actually are, especially Donna but that doesn\’t give you the right to dis-respect us in the least!

I mean seriosuly…  Are you kidding me!

In other news:  I FINALLY got kitler\’s litter of choice!  They only had 4 bags in stock so I bought 2.  She\’ll be good for the next couple of months 🙂

So I decided…

To do a few things, one of them being removing my blog off of blogger and just transferring everything to here because its just SO much easier to maintain.  I also created a new category called totally tasteless.  So today shall be known as totally tasteless/tacky Tuesday.  At least part of it, mostly because I can.

John sends me a text after work in regards to this \”trashy\” news tidbit which I responded with something to the effect of EWWWWWWWWWWWW THAT\’S SO NASTY!  Which it is!  I have no problems with public sex but a dumpster? WTF?  I thought that was the end of it…  I thought wrong.  You see John and I both love Family Guy perhaps a little too much.  However anyone who is a regular viewer of the show should be familiar with the dumpster baby episode which is a totally wrong, not to mention tasteless (yet somewhat hilarious) dig at Melissa Drexler.

So John made the mistake of asking me what I thought was worse: Dumpster baby or dumpster sex?  Of course dumpster sex totally outranks dumpster baby IMHO because for one thing, I\’m a total germaphobe/neat freak and I HATE being dirty.  Garbage grosses me out to NO end and I am also totally ANTI baby in all forms!  My reply to that: All babies should be chucked in a dumpster ( OK well not all but most because kids annoy the hell out of me if they don\’t belong to family/friends) and dumpster sex…  Think about it: Garbage groodies dripping into your ass crack and rats nibbling on your private parts?  I think not!  So I of course being the queen of crass and all things nasty (not only that I love to gross out John because it amuses me) I said what if there was a dumpster baby where you were having dumpster sex?  That was it for him, he replied with no more dumpster talk.  lol, he started it and it appears that I have finished it!

Speaking of TV shows, today at work reminded me of a Seinfeld episode…  I\’m standing there  talking to a customer when this woman walks in and AS I\’M TALKING to one of my regulars barges into the conversation with excuse me, excuse me EXCUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME.  I looked glared at her because that\’s DAMN rude!  She wants to know what\’s for lunch, when is it going to be ready?  She sounded EXACTLY like George\’s mom in this episode (the contest for those of you that know the show) Where she screams George I\’m HUNNNNNNNNNNGRY!  Anyway…  It was only 11:20am and lunch doesn\’t get served until 12:00pm.  I could have had it ready earlier but her voice and her epic rudeness just irritated me to NO end so I made her wait until 12:00.   My kitchen bitch, MY rules!  I hate people, I really do.  I\’m a GOD DAMN CHEF not a waitress an I will NOT tolerate rudeness in any fashion.  In any case she was put in her place, but yet she left happy and loved my food ha ha 🙂

Sometimes I hate my life, but moments like these make me smile…  And by smile I really mean evil smirk, just in case you were wondering.

Well hello spring!

I started some hardcore cleaning at work, hello spring and hello to kicking my OCD into high gear ha ha.  The boss lady of course loves it.  Me personally I need to have things neat and orderly in small spaces.  My kitchen is a tiny space with little room for storage so order is necessary.  Its nice though to have everything looking so clean and shiny!  Its rare that I actually have time to accomplish such things and when I do have the time then I attack it with gusto.  Problem is I keep getting interrupted with phone calls and customers if I happen to be working by myself.

Now if I could clean my house with as much vigor then I would be golden! could stop being such an OCD clean freak then I\’d be OK!   I just always have too much going on, as per the usual.  I need to manage my time better I think know and stop procrastinating so much!  Soon Today though I am going to set aside a day and just start to tackle everything that needs to be done.  Really though my main focus is getting my business off and running which I have been slacking off in the department in a really bad way as well.

I need to get my taxes sent in too, I finally got the last T4 slip that I have been waiting on so I can get that out of the way.  My apartment is finally looking the way that I want it to.  Just need to tweak a few things here and there.  I\’ve just been SO drained lately!  Going to bed super late certainly doesn\’t help matters at all either.  I just hate tackling things that I really have no vested interest in doing, like my taxes, housework that sort of thing lol.

Strangely enough though once I get the ball rolling then there\’s no stopping me.  My OCD seems to kick into over drive and then it becomes almost an obsession to get it done and out of the way.  Strange how that works.  I need to create a list of things I need to do and people I need to call by the weeks end.  Then maybe I can restore some order to my insane life for a change.

I finally heard back from my insurance company about wether or not they\’re going to cover my ultrasound.  Their response:  We need more information, please call our 1-800 number.  Are you kidding me?  I have this oddity that makes my boob burn, I need an breast ultrasound to see what it is because Dr. Hottie PAnts doesn\’t have x-ray vision, medicare DOESN\’T cover them anymore and I can\’t afford to blow a weeks pay at some fancy diganostic clinic regardless of how bad I need to get it done.  What else is there to tell?  Granted I can give them tons of TMI details and because I have to call them and blah blah blah I will, why? Because I can!

Grrr.

Can I lack in motivation anymore?  I mean really…  I have SO much to do and not nearly enough motivation to actually get off my derriere and get it done!

I really should start playing with CSS templates to see what I can conjure up using that format instead of the current (likely soon to be outdated HTML).  Thankfully HTML and CSS not to mention JS (Java script) for the most part work harmoniously together so I\’m hoping praying that its not a major headache.  I figure if I go the CSS route I can create internal and external style sheets and enable global changes as opposed to having to update each site manually if I need to add/change/delete a link or some other central function which would make site updates a hundred times easier then they are now.

Once I get it uploaded and ready to go I want it to function properly with minimal fuss and nonsense.  This way I can focus my attention on other things and keep more up to date.  I should get to this now, thank god for W3Schools and they\’re exceptionally helpful tutorials!  At least in some cases I have the upper hand in the sense that I self taught myself enough function HTML to built websites back in the day but I need to kick it up a few notches and expand my knowledge of CSS.  Wish me luck!

This weekend\’s to do list:

Finish off my FAQ\’s
Finish off my couch
Create some CSS pages (I gave up for the night!)
Clean my apt
Install my job apps (gave up on this too because I can\’t get it to install correctly!
