Energy Vampires

I stumbled upon an article on gossipbook crackbook facebook the other day Via Rebekah who got it from someone else.  Anyway the article titled:

How Energy Vampires Drain Your Spirit and Soul

11 Ways to Protect Yourself From Negative Influences

Made a whole lot of sense to me.  OK granted I know a lot of people who blog that use it as their space to vent/un-load (myself included) for whatever reason.  I pay for this space, ergo I feel that I should be entitled to post what the hell ever I deem fit.

Right?

Fair enough.  If anything I have to say gets anyone down that much, they don\’t have the read anything that I write.  Writing is therapeutic for most people.  I personally do it because it\’s my outlet, a way to express myself to no one in particular other then whomever happens to stumble upon my blog that day.  We all have problems, we all have issues and we\’re all a little crazy no matter how \”normal\” you might like to think you are.

Society is hard core fucked up you know!

Anyway, back to what I was saying.

Energy vampires.

So. Many. Of. Them. Infect. My. Life.

DO. NOT. WANT.

Essentially I\’m tired of people expecting other people to blow sunshine up their ass every damn day!  Learn to be self reliant and find your OWN form of happiness!  I can drum up several examples of people who post status updates on facebook/titter/their blog whatever social media outlet you choose; that scream: PITY ME!  FEEL SORRY FOR ME!  FIND A MAN/WOMAN/S\’HIM/WHATEVER THE HELL I\’M ATTRACTED TO FOR ME! PRAISE ME! MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL!  ACKNOWLEDGE  ME!  PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEE!

I have since blocked these people from my news feed because quite simply I can\’t take their self centered bullshit any longer.  People like that NEED HELP.  Usually because they have no self esteem/self worth.  Why can\’t you just be happy with YOU.  Why is a requirement for other people to make you happy?  Who has time for that?

I really wish people would learn to get off their asses and learn to be self sufficient for a change!  Life is what YOU make it, not what others do!  Be INSPIRED by others to do something good for yourself/others.  Only YOU can make this happen at the end of the day.

Please, please!  GET. OVER. YOURSELF.

Google is your friend!  Having a shitty day and need a laugh?  GOOGLE!  Bored, want something to do? GOOGLE!  Learn, educate yourself, amuse yourself, do something worthwhile because YOU can!  Christ don\’t sit on your ass and expect other people to do it for you.  Otherwise you\’ll find yourself in the \”energy vampires\” category ergo someone I can\’t stand anymore.

on a totally random/semi-unrelated note.  I stumbled upon this interesting article on a very smart octopus.  Working as a Chef usually means your going to stumble upon squid of some form in your life.  I refuse to eat them because I see what they look like BEFORE they hit your plate.  At least now I can justify it by saying that some of them are smart.  However  even though I said this was semi-un-related, Otto seems to be an attention whore too.  Not so random after all.

Heh.

OMGWTFBBQ!

Jesus Christ can I ever get a break? Having to divulge my \”dirty laundry\” to my boss was one thing (more on that in a minute) discovering I have allergies from hell? That\’s taking it to a whole NEW kind of low. I rarely have allergic reactions to anything. My sister is deathly allergic to bee\’s, to the point that she has to carry an epi pen. Let me tell you, the thought of stabbing myself in the thigh with anything, much less a needle holds 0 appeal. In any case I pretty much know when I have an allergic reaction coming on and what things to avoid now. Such as this which sucks balls because Tiramisu is my favorite thing of all time!  In spite of the fact from eating that particular brand I almost died.  Brought on by Anaphylactic shock .  Me being rather ignorant about food allergies at the time, didn\’t realize how foolhardy I was being.  So lucky me I am not only blessed with asthma but anaphylaxis too.

So enter Sunday, had plans with him to do stuff and as soon as I got out of the shower, I felt my ears and neck start to burn and itch (first sign of a reaction for me) as soon as I got into my room and I couldn\’t for the life of me figure out why.   While I know allergies can creep up out of no-where, especially in the event that you introduce yourself to something new.  However nothing was \”new\” the food I had consumed that day were old favorites of mine, the shower items I used were also favorites of mine.   It wasn\’t until I was waiting for him to come pick me up that I knew I was going into mild anapylatic shock from something.  I was eating ice cream & watching TV when the back of my throat started to itch and swell.  Not in a OMFGIMGOINGTOSTOPBREATHINGANYSECOND now kind of way, more so in a dammit I\’ve been down this road before and I was hoping not to return kind of way.

So I took one of his allergy pills \”just in case\”, told him what was going on and made sure I had my health care card on my person as well.  I didn\’t feel right, but I thought it, whatever it was, would pass.  I was wrong, dead wrong!

The following day when I woke up, I was about 5 mins away from work and all of a sudden, that God awful feeling came back.  Then the hives came, OMFG I HATE HIVES!  Polite society doesn\’t deem it appropriate to scratch your ass in public and let me tell you, that huge hive on my left butt cheek was begging for attention.  Yeah I know scratching them only makes them worse.  Thankfully these seem to be pretty localized to a few hidden locations.  Unlike the last time when those suckers sprouted up all over my entire body.  You\’ve never experienced hives to the fullest extent until you have them between your toes, in your mouth and well every nook, cranky & crevice you body has to offer.

So I\’ve been breaking out at random now.  On the way to work, taking the metro to and from work (only during certain times of the day mind you) so the variables are rather huge.  I did a spot test on the inside of my elbow for the perfume I\’ve been wearing and my laundry soap as well to rule them out and so far so good.  So now to rule out a few other things, although I think its environmental.  Mostly because it comes on and out, out of no-where!  So its either seasonal or my cats are the culprits.  Either of which would suck since allergy meds make me pretty damn drowsy.  I want to sleep. Right. Now. kinda drowsy so I can\’t take them in the \”real world\” and expect to function normally.

Could be stress…

Spewing forth randomness

I dream about him, this is driving me crazy.  Its one thing to consume my thoughts from time to time but when they invade my dreams, its almost disturbing to me on a certain level.  I had one the other night, that he was on the phone and somehow I missed it and I tried to call him back and he wasn\’t there.  I woke up, and I was upset.  I shouldn\’t be but I was.

Why is it that things that appear to good to be true usually are?  Totally pessimistic I know, but still.

You know what irritates the hell out of me?  People who undermine me!  Happened at work today, when I\’m working with one of the newer staff members I tend to hang back just a little.  Mostly because they need to man the fuck up and learn.  I was not a happy girl today for a number of reasons.  Most of them stress related but still…  He comes on the line, sits there and munches away on an apple (with a full board) while I get my ass kicked.  Oh then to top it off, I\’m looking at my schedule for the week @ COC (no days off for a possible 3 weeks straight, holy fuck!).  The he walks up to me and says:\”What time are you done at? Now. Oh well can you do some dishes before you leave? Excuse me? \”  OK first of all: I. wear. the. pants. in. the. kitchen. NOT you.  Nor do you have the right to ask me to stay later on the clock, Christ even I don\’t have that privilege of doing that.  Nor do you have the right to complain either!  Take some fucking initiative and make it happen.  Just because your accustomed to having it done upon arrival does not give you the God given right to expect it to be like that all the time.  Besides its reading week aka spring break and yes this was the busiest night we\’ve had in oh I dunno 12 days but still not nearly as insane as it usually is.

Seriously, these boys know NOTHING about problem solving!  They freak out when there\’s not enough prep, yet God forbid they get off their ass and do some.  Freeman left me a note about prep.  Good stuff, at least he listened to me when I mentioned that.  However Jerk sauce isn\’t part of my duties.  Why?  Because we buy it pre-made you fool!  They don\’t know where everything is, they have no idea how to prep next to nothing and all this other shit.  Seriously?  They\’re killing me, really.  Although in a rather ego driven moment, I am pretty thrilled about one of my creations hitting the new menu!  We changed it in the new year, however we\’re eliminating quite a few items that just aren\’t cutting it.  Although some things are semi OK sellers yet they\’re yanking them off the menu regardless.  Ah well its not my judgment call.  Just seems frivolous to me that they spent all this money on the new menu design & printing now and they\’re changing it.  Not that it matters, seems to me that 96.3% of the people who order from us don\’t read the details anyway.  As in you know when we open.  Idiots.

So no days off from either job, yeah the money is nice and until my background checks either in or out I very much prefer to hold onto my night job until my temporary contract is up with the daycare (as in my 30 day trial period to see if I make the final cut or not).  Can\’t wait to see how bitchy I get in the up-coming weeks ha ha.  Damn bills, URGH!

Travis is being extra nice to me lately…  Kinda strange because we don\’t really talk that much at work.  Sometimes we do, but more often then not we don\’t.  In any case, some of his gestures were really sweet! 🙂  Even though I suspect he has an ulterior motive…  Meh whatever.

Sean totally made me have an Awe moment.  Those are quite rare, I however blame hormones.

I just about damn near had a stroke today when someone at work said OMG Steph are you pregnant?  Granted I could see why they would make such a comment because I normally don\’t do that sort of thing at work.  Spazzing out is normal for me, other things, not so much.  Also our bathroom smelled like someone had died in there when I was in there this morning.  Slightly disturbing since I was the first to arrive & it was like that when I got there.

Oh yeah, changing the fryer oil is sooooooo nasty.  At least with the one fryer, I literally had to stick my hand in there to clear away the tender crumbs that were forming walls around the elements to find the drain.  I was literally up to my elbows in fryer oil and sludge.  Of course, one of our bio-oil containers is filled with a bunch of shit.  Such as paint cans, branches and other misc stuff.  Yeah I know it looks like one of the garbage cans in the alley but its not.  I think we should just toss it(the crap that\’s in there) in the alley and forget about it.  The one container we have is over-flowing as it is (oops, that was my bad) and that\’s so irritating because they never empty the whole damn thing!

URRRRRRRRRGH!
