Round 2, FIGHT!

So I'm back on the blog with a few things of my own that seem to bother me on a day-to-day basis. I thought I would add on to Andrea's people complaints after reading HER BLOG. Once again I will state that I work at Lifetime Fitness gym in the Cafe area. My daily activities include preparing food/drinks, cleaning, and just being an overall congenial person, but as the day roles on that gets a lot harder to be.

Etiquette 101 (Pt. 2)

One thing that bothers me is the fact that people don't know the difference between a shake and a smoothie. I don't know if I'm just being picky here but it doesn't seem like to grand of a concept to grasp. A shake has milk and a smoothie is made with some sort of fruit juice (in our case orange). 100 times a day I will have people look at our menu and order a "peanut butter and banana SMOOTHIE", so I have to ask them if it is orange juice they want because clearly orange juice and peanut butter aren't really a popular mixture; of course 99.9% say it's milk they want. So I think to myself, how many times in your life have you asked someone for a milk smoothie or a juice shake...EXACTLY. Besides their ignorance of drink ordering, I have a huge amount of people who don't know how to push in their chairs. Excuse me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that is something you learn when you are a child. You pull the chair out to use it and push it in when your done. I literally spend 30 minutes a day just pushing in chairs (if you were to calculate the amount of times I make the rounds and push them in). One funny thing to add to that is sometimes when I'm pushing them in I kind of think to myself sometimes how these chairs got out so far. It's like the stood up and literally pushed it back and left. AND for my last complaint regarding my job is that I can't stand when people come in with 5 minutes 'til closing and decide it's a good idea to order a pizza, and more then that they will bring in their whole family and make it a date. WTF!? I never go somewhere to eat knowing it's 30 minutes or less before they close because I know 1. They are trying to get things done so they can leave and 2. They are NOT going to be happy when you come order that food when they are getting ready to leave. The movie 'Waiting' is a prime example. I'm guessing it's because I've worked around food for so long that I know the do's and dont's of the food industry. *SIGH* some people will just never learn. :)

Now on the lighter side of things, if you know me then you know that I'm not much of a reader...of books. If you calculated how many articles I read a day that has to combine into some sort of chapter in a book :) I read NBA, NFL, College FB and College BB articles all on ESPN's website. I also read video game articles on N4G.com and XBA. When I say I read articles, I mean I really read them and bunch of them at that; all the way down to the comments. I love to read the comments just because people sometimes but the funniest stuff on there. Sooooo anyways, I was perusing on the Yahoo! front page and I sometimes click the article if it has a title that strikes my eye. The link said something like '2 men save falling baby' or along those lines at least, so of course I click the link and read the story. The actual link is HERE. After reading I continued down to the comments and most of the people were just saying that these two guys were saints, they were at the right place at the right time or the family needed to be put in jail, but oh no no not this one guy and I quote, "Puh-lease...who hasn't caught a falling baby!". I thought that was the funniest thing. I literally lol'd because of the fact the guy made light of a semi-tragic story and what made it even better was the fact that it was just put in the middle of all the other posts and nobody really commented on what the guy said, so it was just a gem waiting to be read.

On other news the new FLO RIDA CD just came out 2 days ago and I will have to say that it definitely has some good jams on it just like his last. I don't think it will sell as many copies as his last but it's surely not going to be put in the category of Sophomore Slump. My 3 favorite songs on the album are 1. Right Round 2. R.O.O.T.S and 3. Mind on My Money. The next album I'm excited about is Lil' Wayne's REBIRTH album coming out later this month. Another thing you would know if you knew me was that I love Rap music, among other genres. I don't know my real dad, but I'm thinking that my dad was either black or had some black in him because I have too much rhythm, like their style, and listen to wayyy too much rap music not to. Haha.

I've admittedly recently watched all 5 of the Harry Potter movies after I told myself I wouldn't just because everyone was hopping on the Potter book franchise. I will say that the movies weren't bad and I'm sure the books were more fun to read, but they are a tad on the kiddy side for me. I see where people enjoy them because the story is quite good but not 100% my cup of tea. I will most likely see the new one that comes out but I won't camp outside for 2 days to get tickets that's for DAMN sure. One movie I will stick to my guns about not watching is 'Twilight' *PUKE*. Other than that I'm about to leave for work and when I get back I will have a LOST episode to catch up. No Grey's Anatomy this week. Thanks for reading :) Comment!
