Yee Haw !!

Hello :)

Last night I went to the Saddle Rack. It was such a fun place. You can ride a mechanical bull, have a few beers and line dance. I was too chicken to ride the mechanical bull. I went with my coworkers. The branch manager that went is usually kinda strict and yells a lot during the day. Well last night he was wearing a ridiculous orange shirt that said "Got Beaver?" He was also dancing and taking his shirt off and rubbing his stomach. He also went on stage, and took off his belt and danced with it between his legs. I was sooooooooo dying of laughter. I gotta say that the place was a little too crowded, though.

Today I danced for about 4 hours. I felt so much better afterwards. I worked on some new routines. I just can't waiting for my new costume to be ready.

Tommorow is another day in the car rental business, bright and early as usual. I shall update more on that later. I always do. Ciao.

 

The Sh** I am willing to post for the public to see.....

To the boy I dated for two weeks,

I wanted to thank you for teaching me yet ANOTHER valuable lesson. Because of you I am learning to value myself more and be strong.

I thought that we had fun on our past couple of dates. Or at least you seemed to be. Deep down inside I wasn't really feeling you, but I stuck it out because you are attractive, smart and you are a gentleman (so I thought, after all my best friend had really nice things to say about you).

Anyways, my point is that I am getting better at reading men, and you helped prove my theory.

Even after a having a nice date and talking about whatever comes to mind, when a dude tells me, "Uh, I had fun. Call me when you're bored." I take that as "You're kinda cute, so call me when you wanna just mess around. But only for a little while cuz I got homework."

So I *cough* "lost" your number. But then you called during the week to tell me that you didn't forget about me and that you'd like to go out again. So I passed that off as a dumb moment and went out with you again.

 We went out and had a good time and went to dinner. You even watched Desperate Housewives with me. I thought that was so awesome. We even kissed a little. (Okay too much info, but deal)

I haven't heard from you all week. You won't call. I am online, you won't even say hello. I've got it now, and I have my answer. You were interested in me, you chased me at first and it's all gone for some reason. And though my ego is kinda bruised, I am also relieved. Now I don't have to wonder.

I have *cough* *cough* "lost" your number for good. I think that maybe you expect me to be chasing you now. And many girls nowadays will chase, so maybe you should find a girl that chases you.

I was going to ask you to go to my holiday party with me. A nice, big fat party in San Francisco with lots of happy people, and alcohol. Enterprise doesn't cut costs when it comes to parties. Did I mention that the company brings in at least $8 billion annually?

Anyways, You should see pictures of the dress I am about to buy. I am gonna look real good too and get my hair done and smell nice. And now you don't get to enjoy any of that.

Now I am gonna buy that beautiful dress, long sleeved gloves, and make sure my stylist works some heavy magic on my hair. And I am gonna go to that party and have a good time.

I also have learned to never trust a friend's judgement in men. This has been proven to me many times before, but for some reason it just clicked this time. Here's how I see it. My friends and I have similar tastes in men. They are certainly not going to put you with someone they would want to be with (even if she has a boyfriend), because that would create jealousy between friends.

Anywho, it is a Saturday night and now I need to log off this computer and go out and have some fun with my coworkers at the Saddle Rack. Some good ole' country western fun. Yee Haw !!!

 

 

 

 

You get the good with the bad

Hello there my lovelies,

First of all, I have to comment on the lovely weather we had today. The sun was out and shining and put me in a very good mood. I love the sun, and luckily we had plenty of it today. Sometimes at work when it's not busy I just pull up a chair and just sunbathe outside. It's kinda funny when my area manager pulls up and catches me.

I worked today and I had no help. But I still managed to do well. I am learning how to handle stressful situations better because my job is full of them. For some reason I can't explain, my plans always get messed up but usually end up working out okay. I never have a day where things work out as planned. EVER.

And another thing to remember. There are good customers that will be greatful for what you do, and patient with you because they know you are making an effort, and because they like you. Luckily I am happy to say that most customers are like this and willing to work with me when they see that I am the only one in the office on a Saturday and I am doing everything in my power to get them on the road. I had a guy that had to wait a long time to get in his car because I kept getting interrupted. But I drove him to the gas station and filled his car with gas and told him he should go all the way to San Francisco and have fun, especially since the gas was on me. He loved it and was very happy.

With this in mind, there are also customers that will screw you over and not give a shit. Even when you go out of your way to do them a favor. Case in point:

A couple was stranded and had no way of getting home. They walked onto my lot and had no car because they had just left it in the bodyshop. Their reservation was at another Enterprise branch way too far away, but thought it was at mine.

I dropped what I was doing and helped them. I had no cars on my lot for them. So I dropped them off at home and told them I would come back when I had a car. I didn't have to drive them home. They didn't have a reservation.

Their insurance was only going to pay $25/day  for a regular size car. But I had an SUV, for $40/day. I only charged them $5 extra dollars a day for the upgrade, rather than $15. It was the only vehicle I had at the time. Besides, that was a pretty cool SUV.

The husband was cool. He came with me to the branch. Then the wife called and bitched and moaned loudly over the phone about the $5/day extra charge.5 Fucking dollars !!! They live in a nice house that looks remodeled, by the way. She would have rather been stranded. The husband finally convinced her to just take it and that they would switch out later when I had a cheaper car. I wanted to burn her with her husband's cigarette.

I also had a woman yesterday where we made a deal with her. She could return the car at another location far away from ours, as long as she does it before noon so we could use the car for another reservation. And she nicely agreed. Well, noon came around and she sure as hell didn't show up. I called her and asked her politely what time she would show up and she bitched at me on the phone. She also told me she was in a bad mood and hung up on me.

I have more stories, but I shall spare you all. I would rather be sharing the ones where customers thank me and ask me about my day and how my weekend was. And I am sure I will have more of those stories soon.

 

TGIF

Hello Everyone,

I just got off work. I am just chilling at home in my quiet apartment, and shutting out the rest of the world. I love the quietness, and no one to answer to right now.

Work was a little stressful and I gave myself a headache. I shouldn't really stress myself out so much. I have to work tommorow. I hope things run smoother tommorow. My Saturdays are usually filled with some dilemna.

While I was driving today I saw a wild turkey roaming on the streets. I kid you not. It was wierd. I had to drive a little in the mountains and I saw a few there. But I didn't expect to see one in the city by the road.

I don't really have a lot to say right now. If I do, I shall post it later. Ciao.

 

More work and T-Mobile Updates :)

Hello there my lovelies,

Today was a productive day at work. Tommorow is Friday, which means that it will be even busier.

Speaking of Friday, I get paid tommorow. And the money will be all gone after 2-3 days because I have some huge bills to pay. I don't make a lot of money at all, but my paycheck would look a hell of a lot better if I didn't have all these deductions: taxes, medical, vision, life insurance and 401K. I am glad that I have a 401K plan. I need to start putting money away.

I was on the phone with T-mobile again and I found out that even though I sent back their wireless equipment crap, they STILL haven't terminated my service. I have 30 days to terminate my service with out a termination fee. Had I let this go for another week or two, I would have been slapped with a huge early termination fee. They suck.

And while I am on a roll with these rants, I would like to bitch about AOL. I get so annoyed when I check my e-mail and see all these ads. I pay too much for AOL already, and they STILL have all these unnecessary ads in my e-mail screen. I can live with all the ads in Yahoo or hotmail, because the service is free. AOL is such a corporate whore. If it weren't for this blog that I've had for two years now, I so would have cancelled long ago.

I forgot to say that I got my review on Monday, and I have to say that I was very happy with the outcome. I will have another review in three months.

Well, that is all for now.
