Oh the peace and quiet

So yesterday I was a wreck! Hated my job, yada yada yada. Today I went in early to try to see what happened after I left last night. The assistant filled me in. New rules were put in place that affect them as well as me. First and most important is that the boys have to stay outside. They are not allowed to just hang out in the shop. Now this is awesome because it means I don't have to have him constantly badgering me with his nonstop talking about anything and everything. So in that part, I Won! Now the bad part is that now I can't be on the computer except for work and we can't watch anything on the TV except for the weather channel. Now that sucks but oh well I can live with it for my peace of mind. I'll bring a book or a sudoku. I'll deal. It will at least be QUIET! It really is funny because this is just what I suggested yesterday and he was like I'm not playing your game. Well now that the pros have said it, it will get done. I really can't stand it when guys have a problem with authority when it comes from a female or from someone younger than you are. It's just so stupid! The funniest thing tonight was what I heard him say to someone outside. You see, there's this chair right outside the shop and he was sitting in it talking to whoever came by. One of the things I heard him say, rather loudly in fact, was that he had 20 years of education and they gave him the grunt work. Whatever! He would have to have a master's degree or two to have that kind of education and if so, what the hell are you doing here? Then he goes on to say he was living his life loosely so he could concentrate on his music...he's a drummer. Whoopie do! Who gives a shit! Supposedly, according to him, it's not something you can just do, you have to be born into it...LOL. Get real, get a life! If you are so good, then why aren't you doing it? I'm telling you I want to start laughing every time he opens his mouth...that or shoot myself! LOL!

So Carol went home on BB tonight. Eric said it best that America got it right. Hate to see her go, would rather see Jessica or Jen go but I really like Amber. Of course, now Jen is HOH so she's not going anywhere. Hopefully, Jessica and Joe will get nominated. We'll see.

Going to see Harry Potter tomorrow. Excited! Can't wait!

Might play some golf tomorrow too since I don't have to work at the shop.

Well off to bed...it's late. Had to work until 10 because of late golf cart. Hate it when that happens.

My summer job...

I may have to quit my summer job of the past 6 years. I work at a country club in the golf course part of it. I am the shop clerk and am in charge of the bag boys etc. at night when the pros leave. I am miserable right now. I have spoken in the past of one of the "boys" and how much he drives me crazy. Well the shit hit the fan tonight. We have a bag boy who apparently has no respect for authority. Tonight he was in the office playing on the computer which is fine because nothing was going on. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and two golf carts came in. I went back inside and he asked what it looked like out side. I told him two carts just came in and he didn't move. So I went back outside. All of sudden there were 10 carts to clean and wash. I started taking out trash and he came out and started washing them. I thought everything was cool. I was picking out beer cans from a cart and he comes over and tries to start doing the same thing. I simply said I got it, why don't you wash and park since I dont' really want to get wet. Apparently that is being bossy in his book. So I said fine and went inside, making a comment about not being wanted. From that point on, I tried to avoid him because I was so mad! If he was inside, I went out, and vice-versa. Once everyone was gone, he decides to "attack" me and says he needs to say something to me. I was like okay fine, cause I was thinking you attack me and it is on. He tells me I am unpleasant in front of the members. So I say okay let me tell you something. "You drive me crazy and you talk incessantly." I can't even finish my sentence before he explodes. I was going to continue with I don't really want to get into this right now, don't want to talk about it, I'll just leave you alone, but he wouldn't let me. I tried to go back inside and read but by this time I am so angry I am shaking. I'm still shaking, just writing this. I finally decide to call our assistant pro who is out on the golf course and I go out to see him just to get away from this person. While out there, I completely lose it. I am weeping and being so girly. Which is so unlike me. So embarassed. I'm just so mad I can't stop it. He says he'll go back to the shop and I should go see our head pro who is at the range. I can't imagine what good this will do since they are friends, but okay I'll try. I get myself together and drive down there. When I get there I try to explain the situation to him and fall apart again. I hate this. I tell him what happened and that I don't want to put him in the middle of it but I can't do it. I cannot work with this person. I do not like him, his personality, his attitude, none of it. I love my job and I love the members but I cannot work a part time job where I am miserable and hate coming to work. I hate to put up ultimatums but at this point it's going to have to be him or me. I just can't do it any more. Of course, my boss takes everything in stride and says he will take care of it. That this person is an employee first, then a friend. I'm not sure what this means but hopefully something will come of it. I know it's not just me, but I'm the one who has to work with him the most and I have to deal with him more than anyone else. The assistant doesn't like him, neither do any of the other bag boys. Something is just not right with him. This has been one of the worst summers I can remember at the club. I hate it! I hate working with him so much I may just have to quit. The assistant says not to worry about it and let it go, that the head pro can't afford to lose me. However, I just don't know. I honestly don't know how he can fix this. The person is too old and too set in his ways to understand or change how he treats me or anyone around him. This is just who he is and how he is. I have to work again tomorrow afternoon and it could be rather dicey. Be interesting to see what happens. However, I cannot handle another confrontation like tonight. I just can't. For god's sake, this is a part time job! I shouldn't be miserable at a part time job. If I have to quit, I will, but I really don't want to. This is so frustrating. Even now, I'm on the verge of losing it. I think the only thing that could make this workable is for my boss to tell him to stay out of my sight. Stay outside or anywhere I'm not. It that means I stay inside, then that's what happens. If he wants to work inside, fine, do it. I'll work outside. He can be the clerk and I'll be the bag boy. Anything just to not have to hear his voice or see his face.

More Big Brother

Okay so BB is going well...a little changing from my initial reactions...

First, Dick isn't quite as bad as I first thought...he can stay a while. Danielle may seem sweet but I think she is dumb as a rock...Nick...not bad...loved how he called Jen on her lie...sweet! Hate Carol! Jen has to go ASAP! What a bitch! As for the nominations...really like them both but if I have to choose I have to go with Amber. Eric is hilarious! Kail better watch out if she thinks she is going to control everyone.

Summer school is about over only 6 more days! School starts back for me on the 1st with professional development. JOY! and then the kiddies come on the 8th and it is back to the grind.

Planning on going to the Brickyard with friends end of July so that will be good...hope I'm redneck enough for it! LOL!

Finally got rid of the dog I was watching. Sweet puppy but chewed up every thing including digging holes in the yard and finding things buried under the deck. LOL!

Got to put the furniture back into my classroom after the floors were waxed today.

Harry Potter comes out Friday!

Big Brother Premiere: First Impressions

Okay so absolutely love the BB house. Too cool! Especially the rooms that have the HUGE furniture and the itty bitty stuff. Hilarious!

Now for first impressions:

Dick: Tommy Lee wannabe...rude, crude, and "Evil Dick?" how appropriate
Danielle: Dick's daughter, seems sweet, I think I like her
Jameka: A Danielle Jr.
Carol: seems to have her head on her shoulders and have some intelligence
Nick: opening quip "body for bait" WHATEVER...full of himself
Jessica: Carol's rival...blond ditzy bimbo!
Eric: wants to fly under everyone's radar and now we see why...gonna be America's pawn
Jen: annoying slut, need I say more
Mike: nice arms but hairspray? come on, be a man!
Kail: religious mom, probably gonna get on people's nerves
Joe: fruitcake...he's gotta go, however he will be fun to watch especially when he's fighting with Eric, so obviously he is not over him
Amber: single mom, nice
Zach: good looking
Dustin: fruitcake #2, Joe's Ex, but not nearly as annoying as Joe

So there you have it, my initial impressions, we'll just have to see how it goes...I will say this though, Dick, Jessica, and Joe have to go! Soon!

Big Brother!

Tonight is the premiere of one of my favorite shows of all times! I absolutely love Big Brother! Can't get enough. The episode tonight should be entertaining witht the twist of enemies being brought into the house together.

Also want to try and catch the two new shows about singing...and not forgetting the lyrics...those should be funny.

House is going well. Took pictures but haven't downloaded them but soon I promise!

Still working both jobs and so tired of it! However, the money is good so I'm dealing.

Guy at work is driving me bananas! He just talks incessantly and usually doesn't make any sense whatsoever! Cannot stand him. The funniest part of it is that I don't think he even has a clue! I think he actually thinks I like him, as a friend that is! He had the nerve/audacity to ask me to some party on Tuesday night. I was in my mind going....(oh HELL NO!). Luckily I had to work at 7am and could use that as a viable excuse and not have to be mean. I hate being mean.

Dogsitting this week for my friend's shepherd mix. He's about the same size as Cole, so they are having a good time playing. Gonna have to set up playdates for the dogs after this, they won't be able to handle it.

Went to buy a lawnmower last weekend (might actually have to use it since it rained last night finally!) and ended up with a new lawnmower, new gas grill, and the trimmings. Told a friend about the grill and she went out and bought all the utensils, etc. that are necessary for cooking on the grill. I mean there is an whole bag 'o goodies! Now I just have to learn how to cook on it! LOL! Got gas for the lawnmower too and ended up spilling it in my car, stinks! And of course this is after I cleaned it out this past weekend, vacuuming, etc.

As for the guy from the previous post, we hung out again a couple of weeks ago, but I'm just not sure and he called me on it. He could tell something was not right. So I was honest of course, and told him I don't want to rush in to anything and then decided I don't want to be there. Better safe than sorry.

Well, guess that's enough rambling. I'll give you my impression of BB either later tonight or tomorrow. Happy viewing!
