I finally convinced one of my co-workers that they wanted my shift this Sunday. I didn't even care that I was losing a bunch of money by taking the day off... at this point peace of mind (& not potentially ending up in jail for leaping through a plexiglass window to strangle a New Yorker (I know not ALL NY'ers suck, but the ones that ride here on the boat sure do) is priceless.
About a week back I posted this wee video/rant I made on facebook... and today I decided to share it with the rest of you.
See, I'm a really nice person, and those that know me well, moreover those that I love, know that I will willingly put up with a lot of @#$%^&*.... but sometimes ('cause I'm f'n human) I reach my breaking point... two Sundays back it was reached... and what follows is the aftermath:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, your voice is beautiful and I love it.
Second of all I just played that, and I am at work, and we have a new guy in here that we're 'orientating.'
Third of all, I just fucking LOLOLOLOLed.
<3 I needed the laugh. Thank you. I hope that it was a little cathartic :-)
Cake Betch- So, so, so, so grateful I didn't work yesterday! ... and happy you enjoyed my rant ♥
ReplyDeleteUm, Gillian? Do you work for the Fast Ferry to New Bedford?
ReplyDeleteThe chick who called you a bitch twice should've been escorted to the nearest pier and dropped off of it.
I'm with Cake Betch, you have a lovely voice.
Thanks for the chuckles!
Bea- thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, the girl was awful. I understood that she was frustrated, and the fact that I maintained calmness while she repeatedly asked me "well what the hell am I supposed to do?!" and managed to refrain from saying "learn to read?" or "you could start with GOING AWAY" is nothing short of a miracle.
When she first arrived, at 4:30p it went like this:
Irate Chick: where does the 4:45 boat to NY leave from?
Me: Um... Never Never Land.
Irate Chick: huh?
Me: yeah, the boat left on schedule, as always, at 4pm.
Irate Chick: That's bullshit! The schedule says it leaves at 4:45
Me: No, actually it says it leaves at 4pm. It leaves NEW YORK at 4:45.
*this is where she utters "bitch" as she looks right at me. Which is totally understandable, since I am CLEARLY the person that never taught her to read.....*
I agree with you. And Cake Betch- you have a wonderful voice! As someone who's largely worked in customer service... I feel you, honey. I feel you. :D Don't let them mess with your mental health!
ReplyDelete(just because I think this will make you laugh:
wv: balitate. Def: to grow a pair.) :D
Maggie- thank you ♥
ReplyDeleteSo... do I have this right? Next Sunday it can go like this?
Irate Moron: Well what am I supposed to do?!
Me: Balitate.
Oh man! I'm very sorry you have to go through that crap so much, but your rant was fantastic and even made me feel better! Great one...
ReplyDeleteHang in there...
LOL so I just came and listened to this again and I want to do the illustrations for it. Not actual animations, just illustrations to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteCake Betch- funny you should say that... since PART TWO is bound to be created after the 12 hr shift this Sunday... and I was thinkin' of trying to find photos that would help illustrate it all.... maybe I should just send you the voice over of my next rant, haha!
