Is it Me? Or is it Getting Hot in Here?


It's been a long exhausting week at work. Busy, busy, busy. I like busy. Thank goodness I've got amazing clients to get me through my day. But things would go a whole lot smoother if I had collegues that believed in good old teamwork. You know, you scratch my back I scratch your back. Not everyone is scratching back. Especially when I really need them to. Must be a fricken rash. I'm not scratching anymore. Maybe the odd professional itch but nothing beyond that. 

One more rant. While waiting in the line up to order some Thai food the rudest thing happened. This is a little of how it all went down:

Woman (in front of me):  "I'll be right back"

Me (4th person in the line):  Nasty glare (what is she thinking, I'm going to hold her spot while she begins to carouse the food court to see what else she should get? Ughhhh....)

Me (now my turn to order after about 10 minutes of waiting, they are very busy): "I'll have the..."

Woman (interrupting me): "You ordered already?"

Me: "Ahh, yeahhhh, I'm trying to."

Woman: "But I was in front of you."

Me (ignoring her):  "I"ll have the tum yum soup mini and a basil chicken medium spice please." Meanwhile I am boiling because the woman has now budded in the line up behind 5 other people.

Woman: makes her order

Me (turning to the woman who I may add is a giant next to me): "I just have to say this, you are so rude. Why would you think you can just jump back in line like that?:

Woman: "Do I bother you?"

Me: "Yes! And all the other people behind you. You left the line and you have no right to bud like that."

Woman: "I bother you? I bother you? Why do I bother you?"
Me: "You left!"  

I then realize that the people behind her are not piping up for themselves.  I gave up and just ignored the woman.  Why do people just stand there and not say anything?  Turns out I didn't need the extra spice in my meal as I had my own heat.

On a pleasant note, I have been enjoying reading everyones entries for the Evo hair care giveaway. The deadline is tomorrow so if you haven't yet submitted you still have a wee bit of time. I hope you all have a great weekend. The heat is coming so make sure your A/C's are in working order!  Glad we got ours fixed last year. No heat here!

I have had that happen to me before, and I speak up too. But that person doesn't get it, just rude, they don't understand rude apparently.!

I like busy too, I have been also lately, and nothing worse than not having teamwork. You have to have teamwork.

hope your weekend is going well besides

:)

How bizarre Sharon. Sounds like she's a real tool. Unfortunately most people are useless shits so you won't get any help there I'm afraid. Glad you said something, good on you!

Grace and Rance,
Sometimes I have a heard time keeping my mouth shut! Thankfully, it hasn't gotten me into too much trouble...yet...
