The Mary Kay Cult

Wow wow wow...once again, it's been a min since I really wrote. I'm sorry. Just haven't had a lot of time...or made the time at least. Shame on me. It's for good reasons though. You know the usual, school and work and maintaining life in general. How are you feeling? I'm decent. There's always room for improvement...as I usually say. Well, let's see. Where can I go with this?
I had an interesting week. Earlier last week, I was "invited" to an special event to get a free makeover or something. Turned out it was about them trying to get us to sale Mary Kay products. They really get you hype and what not. Only problem I had was, I'm a terrible salesman. And I'm not just downing myself. For some reason, every job I've gotten (except two) was in retail...saling things. And it NEVER worked for me. But I needed money, so I stayed.
Anyway, this lady showed us how to apply a simple natural look (lip gloss, lotion and stuff) and how good the product feels on your skin. That was about 30 mins. I was heading home thinking I was dropping by and ended up staying there for 3 hours. I was really reluctant and ready to go. There was a girl sitting next to me and she was very excited about getting into the business. You know the whole deal, after all, Mary Kay has been around since your grandmother was young. They told us about how your first check is $8,000 dollars and driving pink cadallics and what not. Nice...if you can do it. They said it sounds like a pyramid scheme but it's not. It's totally legal. I guess...I mean, I'm still not to high about jumping on the bandwagon. I'll wait for the bus. Well, to end all that, I came home to a "I told you so" and a kiss on the forehead. (previously my bf told me that this Mary kay sales lady was going to try to get me to join. SOOOO!)
I don't think I'm cut out for it so I don't think I'm going to do it. But if I had to....really had to and really needed money....
I'll be a bartender.
Til Next Time...

I didn't pay $7 for nothing (revised)

Man, I tell ya. I been having some of the most Drama-filled days at work lately.(Decided not to go into that, thanks a lot King Jerm) Well anyway,
After another stressful day at work (it shouldn't be that way) I came home to my bookie :) and he saw I was stressed. Well, he looked up a local comedy show and well, we went. Now, I was hoping this was going to be good...you know, at least funny enough.


Man, I was so wrong.


OK, where do I start?
We find the place and it looks like a abandoned building. (strike one) Then there was no sign to tell you what this place was. Just the street number. (that one is included in the strike one) We were about to go back home til we pulled around back and saw people standing at the door. [yes! this is the place!] We get out. We walk to the door. As we approached, we notice those people standing there wasn't in line. No, they were just chillin. Ok...cool. I guess. Well, the thing said it's $7. So we're looking for someone to pay. Nobody wanted to take out money. [odd] We asked some guy was this the place and what not. He said it's down stairs. We went down stairs. As we went down, there was this music playing really loud. [sound like metallica- and it was] I ran into a lady and asked her what was going on. She said the show was going to start soon and that it was a weird night. [tu' che]-I guess that's how you spell it. We sat down and looked at the stage. It appeared to be a guy playing the guitar and very well might I add. Then my man pointed out a very important detail.- this dude was playing guitar hero. (smh) He was doing really REALLY good...but wouldn't it have been more amazing if he was doing the same thing on a real guitar? I don't know....not hating! So anyway, dude got through the song and I guess he was feeling it...REALLY feeling it. He broke his guitar on the ground...
....................................................................................................
After it wouldn't break on the ground, he tried the wall. It worked. Then he screamed and jumped off stage. [bravo...bravo] So now it was time for the comedy! Unfortunately, we came on a night where it was some dude's birthday and apparently everyone in the room knew this guy but us, so they did a roast on him. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FORCE YOURSELF TO LAUGH?!?!?!?! Oh my gosh!!! WHAT DA HELL!?! I didn't get any of the jokes, except for the gay ones, but how many times are we going to do that one. And you know what? The funniest person was the guy sitting behind me laughing at everything because he had the most f***'d up laugh ever...and it also sound like he was forcing himself to laugh. NOT A GOOD LOOK, PEOPLE!!! And the guy they were roasting, he was drunk by the time he had his turn to go up there and joke. wow....so he said the same thing over and over and OVER again. wow. Now, these seem like some really great people and all...I just didn't understand. It should of been more....people friendly. [For those who don't know you.] I did have a good time after the show...I went to Waffle House. After the show, there were these break danceing kids. They were really good. I enjoyed that. I would of just paid to see that. But as soon as they were done, we dipped. No more comedy for me! Maybe I can catch them when they are doing regular stuff. First impressions are lasting ones, dudes. Remember that.
One day, I'm going to look back at this and...find those guys for ruining the rest of my saturday night!!
Til next time.

Size does matter!

I've been working in retail for a (on and off) 3 years now. Man, I hate it. That's another reason why I'm still in school. One day this will all pay off...soon. I hope. lol.
One of the things that I hate about retail is the BS you have to put up with from not so smart people. You don't get paid enough to take the junk you do take...and you have to work harder than someone who makes 6 figures. Wow. Isn't that backwards?!
One thing that I find very annoying is when someone orders something to drink...let's say a mocha. And they been there before a million times so they know what's in it. They take 15 minutes to figure out they want a mocha. Then the thing they forget to say is, what size. Size does matter, people. It is the difference between you paying almost $6 for a large of $3.97 for a small and if you can drink it all. Why would you forget the size?! And don't think the people behind the counter doesn't think nothing of it....they are very VERY annoyed. By the way, don't piss off anyone who handles your food. It just isn't safe. So next time you walk into a restaurant and specifically order something, don't forget that small little detail....SIZE!! :)
Also....if your somewhere and there's a lot of people in front of you and it takes a minute to get to you, please know what you want by the time they get to you. That ALSO does not make any sense to wait that long in line and then try to decide what you want when your turn is finally up.
Just had to get that off my chest...
Til next time....

Food Porn: Strippin' Strawberry Sorbet!

Ever since I finished the last bit of my pint of Strawberry Sorbet, it's been on my mind. I should of gotten my lazy butt up and went to the store and bought some more. But...instead, I just sit here and fantasize about it. LOL Today's food porn is....Strawberry Sorbet!
You ever ate the stuff? It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo good. I mean so So so so so good! It's soft and smooth and has chunks of real strawberries in it. Who wouldn't flip out on that?! (if you like food) I'm taking about Hagan Daze brand. Not that other stuff. Uggh!
For some reason, I'm writing in italics now...ugh. I can't seem to get it off. Yes, I tried pressing the button!! Dammit! OH well. Ok, so to end that, if you ain't tried it, I recommend you go out to your local grocery store and get some Strawberry Sorbet. They also come in Mango, lemon, peach and something else random I can't think of right now. :) Til next time, my food porn stars!
