Brain dead Monday…

I *almost* posted this entry to the wrong blog, oops!  That\’s what i get for having so many of them linked to my site…  None of which are directly relevant to my day to day life…

Monday\’s ALWAYS suck in some way!  Of course I had the most irritating customer ever today, but its late so I will save that tidbit for Tuesday.

I don\’t know what\’s with me lately but the strangest things have been irritating the crap outta me!  ESPECIALLY provincial taxes, Quebec\’s tax system is quite simply :FUCKING RETARDED!  That\’s all I have to say about that…  The federal ones are SO much easier!  I will most likely owe AGAIN to provincial ones but the federal ones are looking like I will get a nice fat refund (I HOPE!) hello paying off some debts and a new tattoo!  That would be splendid!  So I\’m mailing those out tomorrow along with some other things that I should\’ve mailed out a while ago (contracts anyone?) but its slipped my mind a 100 times.  But they\’ll get there sooner or later…

Spring cleaning is done finally YAY and my hot water/shower works like its supposed to thanks to Krystal\’s boyfriend Justin.  I figured out something really cute for John\’s birthday that\’s likely going to make him laugh but in the rare event that he reads this (which as far as I know he never has) I won\’t post it here.  I am grateful that I have some talented friends that can pull off certain things better then me.  Krystal\’s making me a ladybug shaped cake for my birthday and its going to be CUTE!

Anyway i\’m off to bed, cos its 12:02am and I shouldn\’t be awake but yet I am!

Things are looking up!

Thank God for my co-worker Krystal who has a boyfriend that\’s a plumber!  My shower, which has been a thorn in my side  FOREVER will FINALLY be repaired tomorrow YAY!  Such a silly thing really, it was a busted O ring on the lever that changes it from a bath/shower not to mention my leaking shower head which had come loose.  Since home depot was closed Justin is going to pick up the part(s) he needs and fix it for me tomorrow which is awesome.

My art show has done well, I raised $225.00 for my charity Rebuild Anselma House it comes down on Monday, who would have thought that people would like my photography so much!  Granted it was at work and I think in part it was because its my work but still its for a good cause!  I also got a few private donations and I am touched that even in this rather depressing state that our economy is in that people still dug deep and helped donate to the cause.  For that I am exceptioanlly grateful!  They\’re So close to reaching their goal and I am proud to be able to contribute to such a wonderful foundation & see this project come to life.  Any suitable prints left over from the show will also be donated for them to use as door prizes and what not.

In case anyone is wondering I have moved my blog titled I hate my stupid customers to here now.  Its still \”up\” but I will no longer be updating it.  The archives are here now, and its just much easier for me to keep one blog as opposed to several of them at once.

Had Donna, Justin and Krystal over for dinner tonight so that was nice!  Poor Donna got sick because she shouldn\’t eat anything with tomatoes in it topped off with the bailey\’s smoothies we created ( 2 parts baileys, 3 parts chocolate milk, 1 part ice cream, 2 parts ice) SUPER yummy!  Good thing I cleaned my bathroom before they all came over.  So my spring cleaning is DONE YAY!!!!!!!!!!!  I\’ll post pictures soon, think I should take some in the morning!

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.
