aiight.
So yeah, the job sucks as it is (washing dishes at some fancy resort-type place [BUT, seven bucks an hour] is bad as it is; no, I just said that, durrr) and there's this one guy that just bothers like...everybody. I wonder how he has managed to evade getting fired.
So yeah, yesterday, he was on the midnight shift, and I was coming in early in the morning to start my day, and lo and behold, he was there to do exactly what I fucking HATE.
1.) Be a complete hypocrite.
2.) Fucking criticize EVERYONE else and be an annoying douchebag.
3.) Be not only a criticizing, hypocritical, and LAZY douchebag, but also be completely idiotic about it.
So, after like, three weeks of his bull, I finally went off on him, big time. Yelling and using about fifty adjectives, nouns, and verbs that I would not repeat in front of my grandmother at this guy.
PLUS, we've been understaffed because idiots keep calling off.
And it's been too hot.
SRSLY, this guy + the heat + the fact that nothing is being done about either is making everyone irritable.
So yeah.
</rant>
Also, my ability to think and express myself intelligently has somehow exited my brain (possibly due to a lack of food and caffeine) so whatever I may have typed would make me look at it tomorrow (thank God I got tomorrow off) and say, "Okay, what in Sam Hell was I smoking last night?"
Stress + fatigue = not gud

Try going to Europe, where the Euro is like, $1.55.
Lucky for us, the one American dollar is like, 10 Mexican pesos.
