Sunday Sunday

Yep today is Sunday. Tomorrow I'm off. So today is all about getting stuff done so I can do nothing tomorrow. I got to have a quick chat with my co-worker. He of course brought in his family so I couldn't get him all the info on the products, but oh well.
Ugh and Saturday always brings out the weirdos. I had two people who clearly made a special trip to come into the store and said they were just looking. Then after they "just looked", they got back into their car and left. They didn't go down to another store or even next door to get something to eat. So great.
As for the stuff I'm taking still kinda waiting to see if it's doing anything. I'll probably know more tomorrow when I go to workout. Other then that nothing new is going on. Man I enjoy not having to do this challenge.
Today's tip is remember they are more afraid of you when you are of them. Unless they're cannibals.

3 day weekend

I get a three day weekend. Well not really since I'm here at work today. The key thing is I don't have to be at work on Monday. The only downside is that right after that I'm working 5 days straight and on that last day I have to go to a wedding reception. I can't ever catch a break.
Yep I hate jeans. I really do hate them oh so much. Especially after being in shorts for 2 months straight. Jeans are so constricting. I swear they weren't like this when I use to wear them. Then again apparently my legs have gotten bigger, but I mean damn. This keeps up I'm wearing shorts 365 days out of the year. Maybe it's just the pair of jeans I grabbed. Well whatever it is I don't like it. One reason why I always hated wearing jeans as a child. That or I hated having my legs covered. I know there was a period in which I hated them, then I loved them, now I hate them again. Granted I haven't gone out and got more pairs lately. I usually get a size larger then what I need to make sure they are baggy and I have free rang of motion. Clearly I'm going to have to do that again. The annoying thing is it's not the whole jeans that are the problem. They are just really tight around the thigh region. Once past that they are fine. Ugh I really might have to go up a size. I feel like I'm waddling. That's not a good thing.
Know what I just realized. It's no longer August. I no longer have to do that challenge. I mean I know I signed up late, but I think I made up for it now. Sweet I don't have to do word counting anymore. Finally when I have nothing to say I can say well nothing.
Got another good one for you. This is another episode of Yu Yu Hakusho abridged. Watch it for it is funny. For those of you who are fans of Kurama you'll love this episode. This is when he faces that rock beast. I do wish Kurama actually acted like this. He is allowed being as smart as he is. Anyway enjoy. Today's tip is sometimes a few kind words to someone can make them extremely happy.

New product again

So again I'm trying out a new product. It came in early so I got to really give it a test drive this morning. I will say if what I felt this morning happens everytime then I can honestly say I can see this being a really good product. When I worked out this morning I didn't change anything. I did the same excerises and had the same weights, but it felt like my muscles were working harder. Seemed like more of the muscles were being worked as well. I left the gym feeling like I had a great workout. Plus it seemed like I felt it working before I went in. It felt like my muscles were really getting worked. I can't wait to test this product out with my new workout plan. If I feel what I felt this morning then yeah I'm going to be pushing this product and the rest of the line.
Well after getting all my anger out and talking to my boss I figure I'll not be an ass to my co-worker. I was going to not let him know about the new line until the weekend he works and just leave a note saying if you have questions call me and not show up, but I messaged him saying it came in and if he could spend half an hour on Saturday I'd explain it to him. Figure it would be a nice way of bonding and getting him to learn he does need to lay off. See blogging really does help with dealing with emotions.
So another oil rig exploded in the gulf of Mexico. All I an say is you'd think that anyone in the gulf would do a major safety check to make sure they don't suffer what BP suffered. You'd think that the CEO would say oh shit better check all of our stuff because if we had an oil disaster like them I'd be forced to resign. On the plus side no oil was leaded out because of the explosin and everyone that was on the rig made it off safely. No one died at all. Seems like it that company got off lucky. I know when I saw it as a trending topic on twitter I was thinking that someone was playing a joke like saying Bill Cosby was dead again. So glad that all those workers were ok.
I hate spam. Period. Apparently since I'm a guy I must have a small penis or need to find fuck buddies. Yeah not every guy has a small dick or needs to add 4 inches. Not every guy needs to find an "adult buddy". You'd think that the people sending these would say hmmm maybe we don't need to send these out. How many people actually click on these. Oh and don't even get me started on all the colleges that are sending me stuff. In 10th grade I said I showed interest in psychology and I'm still to this day getting info on it. I'm also getting stuff on mortages. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A HOUSE! As you can see they are very accurate.
Today is a special day for my twitter account. On Septemeber 3rd 2008 I started my twitter account. I had to open it up because it was part of my social networking course. The cool thing about it is that I can say I was on twitter before it was as big as it is now. In fact when I first started it I wasn't a big fan of twitter, but after the course was over and after my stay in the hospital I really got into blogging and twitter. We also had to open up a blog. It's why I was on wordpress for a long time. Peronsally I like blogger more because there are more things I can do with my layout plus it's a lot easier to find videos and post them. I'm not limited to dailymotion, google, and youtube. I can even upload videos. Plus I seem to get more hits here then I did on wordpress. Doubt anything fun will happen today twitter wise.
Time for another speed run. Remeber the game Super Mario World? Well if you don't seeing this will remind you of it. It was a really fun game. This is a speed run of the game. It comes in two parts just fyi. I'm amazed that he did it period. It's a really hard game to speed run. Well that is if your trying to do everything. I personally can't imagine doing a speed run without at least getting a mushroom right off the bat. If you are going to do something stupid, don't tape it. You'll never live it down. Look at the star wars kid.

Here's why

So yesterday if anyone was following my twitter account they probably noticed that I was quite angry. So let me explain what happened. I had to get up early yesterday and get to work early because my boss couldn't come in. We had to make the end of month deposit. Well I got most of it done, but I had to rush to the bank because I had more stuff to do. Well I get to the bank and my car decides to act up. What I mean is the window only went down not all the way. So I hurt my arm pit putting the bag on the tray and getting it back. So then I rush back to work to go put out cones for the farmers market plus print out copies of the sheets the farmers get when they pay us to be there. So by the time I finally got the store open I was tired. But wait! There's more. Yesterday was senior day which is our most intense day. The first senior to go in is a senior who is the most confused senior you will ever meet. Then a guy who wanted to buy some sports supplements came in. She of course takes forever so when I finally get her out I was lucky the guy didn't leave.
Well my co-worker happened to come in. Let me just say this guy does not know when enough is enough. He comes in already saying I need to hurry up because his kid is in the car. How the fuck is that my problem? How about hey how you doing. Then it was just nothing, but insults for me. Yeah he did it with a smile, but when your already frazzled and someone just keeps ragging on you it pisses you off. So as I was trying to tell my boss something he buts in and says well why didn't you do that. So I threw my hands up and sat at my computer and shut the fuck up. My boss kept asking me what's wrong? Then the UPS guy mentioned something. You know when someone is pissed off. Probably not a good idea to harass them and try to get them to talk. You know that something is bugging me when I workout and it's still bugging me. Well according to my boss my co-worker does like me. His wife to be says that he just doesn't know when enough is enough. She also says that he thinks I'm a great guy. So that begged the question why were they talking about me? She only met me once. Now what probably happened was when I left the bachelor party she asked who I was and she told him. He probably also mentions whenever I stop by. See the annoying thing about this is you can't be mad at the guy. In fact you end up feeling sorry for him. So basically I have to come by every Saturday he works. Ugh... why can't he either hate me or like me and not spend every waking moment insulting me. He really never says anything nice to me. The most I get out of him is hey thanks for coming or hey how was your day then I get nothing, but insults. Maybe I'm still pissed which is why I'm making him out to be the bad guy... ugh.
The other thing that happened yesterday is a customer that's come by before came in. According to my boss this guy is going to be leaving the city soon to go somewhere down south for a job. Now we all know people come and go in our lives. This guy wasn't truly a regular customer. You'd see him maybe once every 3 months twice a month if you had something he really wanted. I would be sad that he's leaving if he was a regular customer. There are tons of customers that if they left I'd feel really bad and miss them. Him not so much. Like I said he came in twice in a 2 week period because again we had something he wanted. He gets most of his stuff off the internet. I can tell since he's bigger. Well my boss says he looks bigger. He actually looks the same as when I last saw him except his hair is lighter. So that's just one more face we won't see or hear from. Not really a big deal like I said.
I have posted 3 squibies that are suppose to be from the up coming games pokemon black and pokemon white. The three I'm talking about are Black Static Dragon, Victory, and White Pyrus Dragon. So I think it's about time I post the trailers for those games. Now of course they are in Japanese, but they do show some of the new pokemon that have been revealed and some of the game aspects that have been revealed as well. I will say this game looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. I might actually get it despite the fact that right now it sounds really really confusing with all the new features like the dream world, triple battle, areas that are only available in one game or the other, triple battle, and new moves that when played in a certain order create an addition secondary effect and are known as combo attacks. Today's tip is there are people who can take a play insult, but know that it can easily go too far. Pay attention.

Today I'm boiling over

Today is one of those days when people are just going to irritate me. I can tell because it's only 9:15 in the morning and I'm tired. I had so much to do today. Plus I had some really annoying crap happen yesterday. So I'll let you know about what's going on today tomorrow and what happened yesterday that pissed me off.
So awhile back I blogged about this customer who came in and was just talk talk talk. She went on about how she's on wellfare and how she has 3 kids, but is in great shape. She just wanted samples really. She happened to stumble on our female enhancement product and grabbed a few. She then puts them and the samples in her purse. I called her on it and she apologized and put it back. Well I then go into the inventory and we are missing three. Well yesterday guess who showed up. Now I'm going to tell this story as it happened even though I obviously know stuff I didn't at the time it happened. So I had to go pee, but I heard this loud voice that sounded familiar. I go out there and sure enough it's her. And she's brought a friend. So as I come out I see my boss counting the same product which I caught her trying to take. As I get close to the counter she wispers over to me that she wanted more samples of that stuff for energy. She said she only got one days worth, which is bullshit I know she took two. So I tried to make it sound like our samples were limited and I can't give her some. Well my boss heard me and asked if she meant some of the samples of a different vitamin. I said no the other one and then he gives her two sample packets of that one. Well he tells me that she took one of our products and put it in her bag. Well as she tries to leave my boss calls her out for taking the product. She says no I just have samples in this bag. It was a grocery store paper bag. She dumps it out and shocker there's the product. She's like well I didn't know that was there. I was just showing my friend. I'll pay for it. Well she then keeps talking asking what is it for. Oh she knows what it's for because I told her the last time she came in plus she stole some and clearly liked them. So she pays and says I'm so sorry and I didn't mean to do it and I'll only come back when I have enough money for protein. Well after she left I counted our supply and 2 were missing meaning I think she put one back. Or I miss counted that other time. Anyway my boss tells me that she came in with that bag. Her friend seemed to be trying to keep him from noticing what the thief was doing. I happened to come out at the right time and so she ran off. He also pointed out that nothing was in that shopping bag, but those samples and they were laid on top of the product to make it look like she didn't take anything. So he's pissed and I'm pissed because she has now been caught by both of us trying to shoplift. So we now need to let the other employee know and that if she tries to pull the same stunt to call the police. Well my boss went out to talk to the guy that runs the card shack just down the hall from us. Turns out she got the bag from him saying she needed a bag to clean out her car. So he's now pissed that she tried to use him to help her commit crimes. Well a short time later she comes back with this swan song about how she now has no money for gas and she didn't really want this product because she doesn't need it. That if we don't want her back in our store she won't come back. Blah blah blah. I just took it back gave her the money and a dirty look and she left. I recounted everything on the counter. The most annoying part of it all is that she said if we were going to punish her for being absent minded that she'd like her money back so she could get gas and just not come back into the store. Ok being absent minded is like when I forgot to lock my car yesterday. Being absent minded is picking up something, paying for it, then realizing you meant to get something else. That's absent minded. Getting caught twice doing the same thing is not absent minded. That's called intent to steal. I'm sure if my boss and been there when she came back in he would have called the police. I just wanted to get her out of the store and away from anymore products she might try to steal.
Today's tip is there are days when things just set you off. The important thing is to make sure that you don't end up in jail and/or YouTube because of it.

What an odd morning

So I went to workout and guess who came in to workout. The gym manager. Now this is odd for several reasons. 1. She never works out in the morning with us. I've been there for a month now and this is the first time I've ever seen her in that early. 2. she doesn't have to be in until 10 and it was 6:45 when she came in. So that told me that she was in to check up on us. I don't know what she was looking for, but I know that's what it came down to. Maybe she does this from time to time to see who might be doing what. The thing is that no one is going to act like they would normally in front of the manager. The guys that sweat all over the machines and never wipe them will wipe while she's there then go back to not doing it when she leaves. Or they will re-rack the weights even though they never do that. Then the really annoying thing is she did what weight hog does which is the going from one machine to another exercise then back to the machine. Stay with one exercise for crying out loud. Other people would like to use the machine, but of course it gets worse. I happened to be wearing the gym's shirt I got for free. So great now I look like a suck up. Plus I was doing my leg workout which she also happened to be doing. I happened to have to sit next to her at the machine. So I now look like a suck up that has a crush on her. I hate that. This would have to be the day I would do a leg workout and wear the gym shirt I got. Just great.
The other thing that was annoying me is these ads that just lie to people. Just yesterday I flipped open a magazine and they had an ad for Celltech. For those of you that don't know what that is, Celltech is a creatine product. That means it's suppose to help you put on more mass. Well the picture showed a guy who was chunky, but you could tell he worked out then the after photo showed the "same guy" ripped to shreds. Yeah creatine products don't do that. If you take the product like you are suppose to then you will not go from flab to abs. You will go from flab to more flab. Creatine causes water retention, especially around the gut. You won't see veins on this guy. Plus you could tell that they put that coloring on him in the after photo. The sad part is that people looking at this stuff believe the before and after photos. They say oh the bodybuilders use it therefore it must be good, and just look at these before and after photos. The funny thing is when guys come in to ask about creatine they are shocked to learn that you are suppose to cycle it, or that it causes water retention and bloating, or plays havoc with your digestive system, or that it has to be loaded. That usually makes them not want it anymore. I was reading it and it said this one guy gained 21 lbs of lean muscle after being on Celltech for 14 weeks. Yeah that's bullshit. 1. No one can be on a creatine for that long and not feel the negative side effects. 2. That "lean muscle" is not from the creatine. Creatine is not lean muscle. Creatine "muscle gain" is more like each muscle cell is holding more water to give the appearance of "lean muscle". So like I said it's just bullshit and I see person after person buy into it. If people would just do research on products they'd see through all the smoke and mirrors.
Yesterday I had a series of 3 customers in a row that just rubbed me the wrong way. The first guy was using the bar code scanner app on his phone to compare prices. Yeah that didn't piss me off. The next guy was a know it all. People like that make it really hard to help them. Plus he was a bragger. He mentions he was in prison so he did a lot of reading. He apparently wants to be a personal trainer. Yeah he's not someone you'd trust with your body. He apparently told my boss that he was in prison for a sexual crime. My boss handled it better then I would have. I would have said alright and not talked him unless he talked to me. Honestly if he didn't show up again I would not cry myself to sleep at night. While this was going on this guy comes in and the first words out of his mouth are "they got a pill for everything." Yeah that goes over well. He then asked if we had a pill to increase appetite. Just fyi there is such a pill. I said no we don't have a pill like that. Really? There is a pill for everything, but not one for that. So I just rebutted with with obesity as high as it is there isn't really much call for that. I would have showed him the weight gaining proteins but well he clearly wasn't going to buy anything and know it all was over by them. Yep if I don't ever see those three again I will be hurt in the least.
Today's tip is don't piss off store clerks. They can make your shopping quick and easy or a hassel. Plus they know all the deals.

It's....monday

Yep my week begins all over again. Pretty soon my b-day will be a month away and I still have no clue what in the world I'm doing for it. I mean the sad part is that I hinted to that co-worker of mine that my b-day is on the 1st of October, but of course he didn't bite. Figured he at least get something going. Might just end up sitting at home or going to get a new tattoo. Meh got almost a month to figure it out.
So I just now realized I haven't done something positive with my blog. I do a lot of complaining, but I actually haven't congratulated some people that really deserve it. The people I'm talking about are those everyday people that get up out of bed to go walking. The people that have a weight bench and some dumbbells in their basement. The people that said I'm taking charge of my life. I'm going to lose this weight. Those people really don't get the encouragement they deserve. It's so easy to jump on a bandwagon when someone has lost 50 lbs and say oh wow you look so good. How many of us actually acknowledge that someone is actually taking the right steps to begin losing that 50 lbs. How many of us say wow are you starting to lift weights. I can tell your starting to fill out. I'll tell you how many of us do. 1 in 100. Ok it may not be that low, but not a lot of us do it. Yeah now I'm starting to hear from my friends yeah you look like you've put on a lot of weight or wow you look huge. Now granted they haven't seen me recently because they are back in Texas and I'm in Wisconsin and it's not like I take a photo of me everyday to post on facebook, but honestly it would have made this a whole lot better. It's so easy for people to get discouraged. Every small bit of encouragement helps. Keeps people going on the right path. Plus when someone tells you they lost 5 lbs or even 2 lbs congratulate them. Tell them they are on the right path. They are making the right steps. That will keep them going until they hit that goal.
Alright back to my ranting. Yeah the people that workout on Sundays at my gym are jerks. They always leave the weights out or don't put stuff back the way they should. I go to the back and there is a mat just laying there along with a barbell that still has weights attached to it. How do you do that. How do you not put the weights back where they belong. I mean I understand if you need to go pee or if you are going to wipe down the bench then put up the weights. That makes sense. Now obviously this person isn't getting injured every time, and if they are then clearly they need to stop working out. I mean I don't want the gym to have to hire someone to just stand back there and make people re-rack weights because that means I have to pay more per month. Just wish people would have the common decency to simply put the weights back after they are done. Forgetting as you move to another exercise is one thing, but leaving them in a spot where you can clearly see you left them is another.
The other annoying thing I see is people who blindly elect officials. There is a guy who represents my county in the state capitol and he has gotten in trouble for taking money out of a government trust and using it to repair the stadium for the minor league team he owns. He claims he has returned the money. Now we find out it's actually double what was originally thought. Ok I don't care if he returned the money. I care that he took in the first place. I know the only reason why he admitted it is because someone caught him and if he didn't he'd be thrown out of office. Yet I still see signs for him in people's yards. Why do you want a man who took money to keep his job. Don't re-elect him. Then again these are the same people that say Nixon was a great president and did nothing wrong, but that Clinton did something unforgivable. Let's see Nixon resigned and had to be pardoned. Clinton was impeached, faced trial, and was found innocent. Hmmm I wonder which one did something that was unforgivable. This blind voting is what got us into the mess in congress. They let officials that have not done what the people say keep their jobs. Vote them out. I don't care if a guy is a Democrat or Republican. If he took government money then he is not to be trusted and should be thrown out of office.
I'm sure you all have heard California Gurl by Katy Perry. Well that song has been in my head since this morning at the gym. Plus I saw The Wiz yesterday and it reminded me of this music video. Anyway so enjoy. Today's tip is if you are already talking about Halloween stuff then clearly you don't understand the order of the months. It's not even a month away.
