Getting fired from work?

Dear friends,

 

I am so sorry about the delay but I was way busy. This is even worse than when I was in school back then. So of course I have a life story is write about. I really need to write it down because I really need to empty my heart out.

 

Everything happened yesterday at work. I was selling lottery tickets as usual and I close at the usual time. When it's time to close the booth, it's report time. >_> ...Yey! I have to calculate if the money balances and there's nothing missing. So what the worst thing that can ever happen? It's the money that doesn't balance and goes negative. That's when my boss will whoop our asses.

 

I was sitting there on the chair counting the leftover tickets while I was still harassed by customers that keep on coming despite the closing time. I was annoyed, just wanted to go home, and some clients who just come and chat with me. It's really hard to kindly tell them to go away. I rapidly count the money. I remember like it was 5 minutes ago. There was a total transaction of 5 000$ and I made a deposit of more than 1 000$. Everything balanced at -3$ which is good considering I was on my own all shift long on a Sunday. Yes, it's in the negative but as long as it's not more than 30$, we're not in trouble.

 

So, I took an empty bag from a drawer. That's where we put all the empty bags for money deposits. So I count the money, put all the money in the hot fuchsia bag and I left it on the chair. I never leave it on the counter because I am afraid that someone could just snatch it and run away. On a second note, the door of our booth station is always locked. ALWAYS!!! The mall was getting empty. Next, I was putting some stuff away, tidied the place a bit, and I was about the lock the big chest. Before I did it, I looked the content just to make sure my deposit is there and guess what! It wasn't there. Of course it wasn't there because I left it on the chair right? So I turned around and looked at the chair. The bag wasn't there anymore. It's ok! I'll just look around. I must of got carried away and put it in a different place. I searched back and forth for at least 7 minutes. I still haven't found the fucking bag! I swear I was nervous. We're not talking about a loss of 100$ but more than 1000$. Are you serious?

 

This can't be it. Everyone around me was gone except for some shops where employees are still cleaning and finishing up some stuff. How can this be possible? How can it disappear just like that? Did someone steal it? More than 1000$ lost in a blink. I am so fucked. I began to panic. My cell phone rang and I answered.

 

mom: Are you done yet? Are you still at the store?

me: *talked in a hurry* I can't talk to you right now. I got stuff to do.

mom: Don't forget to buy celeries before you come home.

me: What!? Screw your celeries! I lost 1000$. I don't have time for this.

mom: :O What!? What happened?

me: I don't know. I lost all the money that the store earned today. I can't talk to you right now. So I 'll call you later.

mom: okay!!!

 

I just hang up the phone and took a deep breath. What the fuck do I do? I open my cell phone once again and call my boss. It was the only thing I could think off.

 

boss: Hello?

me: Boss! Oh thank god! Are you near mall right now?

boss: Sort of...I'm about to..

me: *interrupts my boss* You got to help me! Can you come at the mall right away? I've lost all the money deposit. I just can't find it!!! @_@

boss: >_> What are you talking about?

me: I put all the money inside the bag few minutes ago but I can't find it right now.

boss: ok ok! Where was the last time you saw it?

me: On the chair!!!

boss: Are you sure, it's not already in the safe? Go and look at it right now.

me: ...noo it's not there. Please! You have to come!!!!

boss: *annoyed* urgh! ok! I'm coming. Keep looking while I'm on my way.

me: ok!

 

So I continued to search. The only thoughts that I had was that I am going to lose my job and my boss will also be in trouble with the big boss. My heartbeat was madly racing. I looked up and spotted a security agent. I waved and called him. When he finally got my attention, he walked into my direction as if he was in a garden. Looking and at his own reflection on the display window. How can someone walk so slowly as if nothing happened? Waiting for him to come seemed like an eternity. There isn't much sunlight inside the mall but he had sunglasses on. For the style maybe? He talked with me with his African accent.

 

me: Is there a camera nearby here?

security guard: Nope. There's on the other side though. Why?

me: I want to make sure if I got robbed. My deposit just disappeared.

security: That's odd. Isn't the door of your booth always locked?

me: yes it is.

security: Where did you put the bag last time?

me: On the chair.

security: Then the chance for someone to steal it is very small. Were you inside the entire time?

me: Yes! I didn't leave the place!

security: So it's impossible because you would of noticed. The thief would have to jump over the counter to snatch the bag away. But when you were done putting money in the bag, why didn't you put it in the safe immediately?

me: I don't know...I can't remember. I called my boss. She should be here soon.

Security: keep on looking. It must be around. Ok... just tell me where you started in the beginning.

me: * walks toward the first drawer where there are empty bags* I opened this drawer...*notices the hot pink bag is sitting here* OH MY GOD! I FOUND IT! @_@

security: =_=

me: But why did I put it there?? What got into me!? I am so sorry sir! I panicked really badly and I just lost it.

security: It's ok. It happens.

 

I glared at the bag for a moment and dropped it inside the safe.

 

me: Oh yeah I have to call boss.

security: Do hurry. Maybe she would drive fast because of this situation.

 

So I called my boss and told her I found it. what an adventure! She came anyway to pick up something that she forgot at the booth. I also appreciated the security guard who stayed with me until my boss came to keep me company. So at the end of the day, I became the laughing stock of the mall. ==_== How embarrassing! I made a scene and everything while the money was just chilling there. But I was honestly relieved to retrieve the money. At least, my boss and the security got amused by this crap.

 

So today, the security came back to our booth.

 

security: careful with the money! :)

boss: :3 haha

me: >_>

 

That was definitely a one of a kind experience. I seriously need to chill out a little and think clearly. Anyways, I hope you guys will have a great week. Thank you for reading! :)

R for Rage

Hi friends,

 

So last Tuesday was my last day at work before reaching hitting the days off until Sunday again. So everything concerning this post is related to that Tuesday! I was supposed to finish at 1pm and then come back home and help her with her work. Don't you like the last moment of your shift? The feeling of a day of work finished. You can come back home or hang out with your friends, go eat at restaurants, and go see movies at half price! That's why I feel so excited every Tuesday afternoon at 1pm. It's finally freedom and you can go spend the money you've earned. The anticipation and thrill of finding stuff you like that gives you little moment of pleasure. The little happiness you get from your purchase! As for me, it was nothing more but to come back home, fix some clothes and then go to rest with a hot chocolate with some snacks while enjoying my current Korean drama called "My love from the star". So it was around 11am and I was waiting for the moment when my shift would be over so I can just pack my bag and leave for a place called home sweet home. I was there patiently working.

 

Around 11h30, the phone rang. It disturbed the state of peacefulness of my mind. It's ok. I'll pick up the phone, answer to the question of a customer, and hang up. Things will be over soon. 

 

me: Hello

boss: Hi Gloria

me: Hi! :D How are you?

boss: I'm doing ok but not really ok...

me: ...Why? What's up?

boss: "M" (referring to the initial of my co-worker a.k.a Sloppy girl) is sick so can you replace her today? You would finish at 6pm today.

me: What? You can't be serious! @_@

boss: Yes...well yeah...-_- unfortunately.

me: How about no? @_@ You know I anticipate this moment of glory where angels chant the end of my shift.

boss: I can't replace you right now because I am already working at the other store at the moment. (She was referring to the other lottery booth in a different location under the same owner.)

me: @_@ *mumbles*

boss: *Tries to convince me to stay and work.*

me: ...Ok...I'll stay.

boss: Thank you sooo much Gloria. :D

me: Please don't mention it. >_>

 

So like that, I had to stay until the mall closes. Are you kidding me? @_@ I was kind of badly pissed off. I continued to work but I was upset. I know that it just can't be helped sometimes. I wasn't mad at my co-worker because she was sick nor at my boss whom asked me to stay overtime. It's just the fact that I must stay longer before reaching the end. That being said, my boss should of just say -"No" is not an option. You have to stay. It's an obligation.- I mean what's the point to ask me if I can stay if you just won't let me? lol Anyways, we have neighbor store selling perfume and she sometimes comes over at our booth to have a little chat when she has no costumer. She even noticed the my facial expression of being deceived. The last thing I would ask is that my remaining shift ends up smoothly. But apparently, nothing goes my way.

 

Event 1

 

1 week ago

So there's this granny that comes to buy lottery very often. One day, there was another man who came to buy as well and brags to be this granny's son in law. I honestly thought that both were siblings since they both have grey hair. He showed me the picture of his wife and I can tell this is the type of relationship where the old pervert is having a young wife and probably that she is clinging on him because he wears a fat gold rings on every finger. Nonetheless, I always mind my own business and nod at whatever customers show me. So when the granny came back, I just told her how beautiful her daughter is. She was happy and all. Which parent wouldn't be happy to receive compliments from being told they made beautiful children right?

 

That day

So the son in law came to me but his face looked serious. He pulled out his wallet and threw at me his tickets to be checked. What the hell is wrong with him?

 

him: I am not telling or showing anything to you next time?

me: Tell me what? I don't understand sir.

him: Why did you tell my mother in law that I showed you the picture of my wife? As soon as I met her, she complained that her daughter looked more like her husband than her.

me: I don't understand. What's wrong with that? You didn't want her to know that you showed me her picture? You didn't tell me to not tell her.

him: But I expected you to know.

me: *a little confused* So that was a secret?

him: no.

me: You are telling me that it's not a secret but yet, I can't tell it to your mother in law? That's a secret...

him: Yeah, it's my fault. Next time I tell you to now tell her anything, don't say anything to her.

 

Excuse me! Who is this bitch to tell me what to do? May I kindly tell him to fuck off?

 

me: Listen sir! If such event caused you such a tragedy, please do not tell or show anything personal. I can walk and cross path with you and pretend I don't know you. I don't want any trouble.

 

After I said those, I think he got a little startled.

 

him: No that's not what I meant...

me: Please understand that I'm here to work and earn money. I don't want to be involved with your family matters. Please do not confess me anything or show things that I can't talk about it to others.

him: It's just that I don't want you to tell her anything. She's a bit old and hardly understand what I tell her.

me: *I can't believe this guy* May I repeat to you that I do not wish to know anything regarding your family matters. Do not let me know or show me anything personal and there will be no problems in the future.

 

He tried a smooth recovery but I'm sorry that shit like this doesn't work with me. On top of that, is he saying that his mother I law is senile? Damn! Whether it is true or not, that's not something to say. Talking in people's back to save your own skin. They are the worse.

 

Event 2

 

So after I dealt with one screwed up situation, another one came. So this time it concerns a group lottery. The way it works is that when I create a group lottery of ten people for example, 10 copies of lotteries will come out and groups will have to be sold before the draw. Groups must be sold before the draw without exception. So the next day would be the last one to sell the leftovers. I just looked on my side and there are more than 34 left. I was a little nervous because the person who will be working the next day will have a hard time selling if I make to much.

 

So a customer came by and asked for a group ticket at 3$.

 

me: Sorry sir. The ones at 3$ are all sold out. We have plenty at 4$ though. It's just 1 more dollar. Would you like to buy that one instead?

ass clown: Can't you make another one?

me: *explains why I won't and tells him to come back tomorrow . maybe my boss will make more*

ass clown: *makes that confused look* I don't understand why I have to ask your boss just for that. Can't you make one?

me: So from all the explanation I gave you, you didn't understand one bit of information I said? Would you like for me to re-explain to you?

ass clown: No forget it. *mumbles complaints*

me: Sorry. You were saying?

ass clown: No. I was talking to myself.

me: =_= ok...I'll create a group for you.

ass clown: *mumbles*

me: *hands him the ticket* That will be 3$!

ass clown: But you told me you couldn't do it and that I have to come back tomorrow. Now why did you make one?

me: I don't understand. Didn't you want one?

ass clown: yes...

me: Ok. So do you want to take it or no? If you do that's 3$. Please make up your mind. There are other customers in line waiting for me to serve them.

 

He then pays his ?&*$??&*)($%?%$ 3$ and left. Damn! I was just sooooo pissed off.

 

***end of events***

 

So not only I had to work over-time but I had to serve frustrating customers. Maybe I was a little to harsh. But the customer from the first event really drove me to the boiling point. Nobody tells me what to do. Jeez! If it was a secret, just let me know. I never thought that complementing someone else's children could turn out bad. Then the second customer who makes that exasperating look as if I' just born yesterday can shove his ticket right in his mouth. If you read at one of my eldest post which I wrote about what rises my anger and rage to a range of 100% in one shot, you will understand. With people like that, I'm just going to put them back to their place gracefully.

 

Have a great week!

 

 

Viruses...

Hi everyone,

 

It was an awful week. My patience was simply lacking from turns of events that made me facepalm myself to difficult customers to deal with. Hopefully, this will end and next week will be better. So Anyways, I am so glad that I have connection on my pc now. :D No more laptop fighting with my mom! I can do whatever I want on my computer. The only thing which is missing is a new headphone so whatever I listen or watch won't disturb anyone which brings me to a certain topic I want to write about.

 

So after a long 6 months, I can finally use my computer to its full potential. Before I got the internet connection on my pc, my uncle promised me to do help me with it. My desk was supposed to be in a certain area but we decided to move it in a different corner. So there was supposed to be some wires to connect my pc to that wall but it would be to much hassle to have all the wires to hanging there. So he decided to buy this cute wireless thingy that can do the job. :) Just look at it! It looks like a bunny! @_@

So he brought that device to install it. Now here's the problem with my uncle. He's a computer geek. Every time he comes to add or fix my computer, he is always curious if my pc is infected by a virus or not. So after the internet is now functional, he started to check at my computer.

 

uncle: Why is your computer running s slow?

me: I don't know... >_>

 

He then types and does complicated stuff to check what programs are currently running. He points at one in the list.

 

uncle: This is a virus! What did you download? o.o

me: Nothing! :O

 

What is this? I was getting nervous and all. Did I do something bad or naughty? Like I remember! Last time I used my pc was in August. After more investigation, we found out that it wasn't a virus but some programs related to the printer. But still, he was curious about the cause that makes my pc running slow.

 

uncle: You must have gone to some weird website. <_<

me: No I didn't!!! :O

 

Why accusing me of such perversion? Geez! Then FINALLY, the cause has been found. It was a program that downloads torrents. He clicks on it and there was a section where you can scroll down the history download and there's one file I haven't clean up because I was lazy to do so. He double clicked on it. My heart pounds really hard as if I was scared I would be exposed to something embarrassing. Damn! Do you know what was the download? Season three of "The Walking Dead". =_=" I bet he really wanted to catch me watching something forbidden. :O Why is that? Damn! @_@

 

So that is all for today. I wish you guys a great week. :)

 

******mini side story*******

 

I met some of my friends last week and few days ago as well. Most of them asked me how I was doing concerning my ex. Such as if I was fine and not to depressed about it. I actually rarely talk about it unless someone ask me because it's history and it's all in the pass. To put it simply, I'm just tired of his ass.

 

So it has been a while that I didn't log on facebook. But one of my friends did. That friend asked me about me and him...so that's how we got into a conversation about my ex. That person said something along those lines...

 

friend: I have no respect for him.

me: Why? What did he do?

friend: he put a new profile picture on his facebook with two women.

me: I didn't know about it.

 

So here I was in front of my computer. The rule of thumb is to not check your ex facebook's. He created a new one but there's this "suggested friend" list on the side and there he was. I just couldn't resist and clicked on it. So the picture was right there staring at me. My ex with his new girlfriend. OMG! @_@ Are you serious? Some sudden feeling that my eyes were molested. Ah I feel like my eyes will rot!!! @_@ I need to purify my eyes (by looking at hot guys ;P ).

 

*******end of mini side story******

The cutest person ever....second to me :P

Hi everyone,

 

There's a lot to write about today! Remember when I wrote about babies? I am not even sure though if I did write a post about it. Because I dislike babies. @_@ I really dislike them. I see them as brats! Crying for toys or candies. Grrr!!! >_> At some point, I find them snob as well. :O It happened once when someone was about to let me carry a baby and it was crying and glaring at me as if I was the devil myself or a bad guy from a movie. Sheesh!

 

So I went to Melly's house Wednesday. To be honest, I was a little reluctant. I thought to myself: "This baby will probably pull my hair." and "The baby will glare at me as the devil and cry for her mom." But here we go, I have to see my best friend's baby. I can't avoid both parents forever and they're both my high school friends.

 

So when I first saw Melly, I was so happy. We hugged each other and talked for a few minutes. Then she said: "Ok! I am going to bring my daughter! :D" As she was saying that, there was so much happiness in her eyes. They were sparkling and there was so much joy and thrill to it. I was like: " Alright! :)......" As soon as she turned her back on me, I expressed nervousness. @_@ I can't believe a baby is getting me vulnerable. How can that happen?? So we were at the basement and that's when I saw her baby.

 

Usually babies are very ugly. But my honest first thought about it was that she's really cute. @_@ Surprisingly cute! But beware! She might discriminate me! :O Wait! She's smiling at me? No way such overload of cuteness is possible! How can it be? We went back upstairs and that's when I had a better look at the baby. She smiles the entire time. Damn! That's one happy baby! lol The more I looked at her, I realized how adorable she was. The best part of it was her smile. Omg! And she did not look down on me. I just wanted to take her home with me. :D

 

Me when I was looking at her:       :D

 

The baby when she was looking at me:     :D

 

Oh goodness! I thought I was going to die from an overdose of cuteness. I even told both parents that I would kidnap their daughter but I doubt the father will even let me pass through the main door. What other reason can I kidnap her for except for raising her as my own child? Maybe using her as a hostage and ask the parents to make another baby? I talked to Melly about it and this time it has to be a boy! :D I honestly really wanted to post a picture I took with her but I will not do it unfortunately. Even if her parents allow me to do it, I just won't because there are so many psychos these days and I don't want other people to use the pictures for other purposes since basically anyone has access to it.

 

So the new verdict is that this baby is the only one which I approve as a cute and friendly baby! :3 I already have cute gifts to give her but she needs to grow up a little first so I can give her a hello kitty colouring book. Alright, that's it for now. I'm probably going to post something next Thursday as I start to work again tomorrow to Tuesday and got stuff to do on Wednesday. So I wish you a great weekend! :)

Party pooper!!!

Hi friends,

The long week of work has finally ended. @_@ There was so much to do at work and I barely had enough time to eat during my breaks. So this is my last weekend to enjoy. :( You must wonder why I'm saying this. I'll explain. So this is my new schedule which seems to be settled for the next few months:

 

-Sunday 9 to 6pm.

-Monday 9 to 6pm.

-Tuesday 9 to 13pm.

 

I don't care much about Monday and Tuesday but SUNDAY!? No way! @_@ Why oh why do I must work on Sundays!? Imagine me hanging out with friends on Saturday evening and saying something like: "I can't stay for to long because I have to work tomorrow morning! >_>" So how does that sound huh? It's plainly a party pooper. Eli used to work the entire weekend but she only does Saturday now because she is going back to school.

 

I did talk to my boss about it.

 

Boss: I hope you are happy with the schedule. :D

me: ...it's ok...working on Sundays is a huge party pooper.

Boss: What do you mean? O.O

me: I will have to come back home earlier if I hang out Saturday.

Boss: But you can begin to party from Fridays. :D

me: ....you got a point... <_< But still it sucks!

Boss: I'm going home Glo. Bye~~ :D

me: @_@ Bye...

 

On the other hand, I shouldn't be complaining. It's a blessing that I have a part time job to pamper myself and buy myself all the junks I want. I thought about saving for a trip next summer but I'm still unsure. I'm not sure where I want to go. I really wanted to go to Cambodia but it's not really safe. The same goes to the countries nearby. So I thought about Chile but I don't know. I really don't know. Another option is to pay myself eye surgery....the laser thingy which I don't have to wear glasses ever again. This is something I wanted to a long time ago but couldn't because I had to pay for my studies. I've heard that it costs around 4000$. Is it worth it? Totally! Because I look older with glasses.

 

I just wish I don't have to work during the weekend. Anyways, I'll see how it goes. Eli is already working Saturday. The other girl is already working Mondays to Saturdays and she has school on top of that. So here I am working 3 days a week, school is done, and I'm complaining. I deserve a spanking right on my behind. :( Oh well, more money for me to spend right? But I doubt I'll have free time in the future. I still have to prepare for the "P" exam (probability) which is one of the 9 exams we have to pass. If I can complete all of them, I will have the official title of actuary. If only I can get at least 2 of them, I'll be happy with that. Completing this degree is challenging enough and more than would require to much ambition and determination. Oh man! I think it's time for my school retirement. :P So a master is not for me.

 

I wish you guys and girls a nice weekend! :) Thanks for reading!

Happy new year! :D

Dear friends,

I know it has been more than a week that I didn't post anything. I was extremely busy. All I did in between the holidays was shopping and lots of outdoors activity. I'm glad that I didn't overspend. Else than this, mom would just bother me with an unstop fashion or else she would just use my computer all day long. She would make a scene if I would use the laptop for more than an hour. @_@

 

After the holidays, a co-worker went on vacation and here I am replacing her. :( I have to work for this entire week all. I have to wake up early in the morning and close the store. Then, it takes me an hour and a half just to get home. It's already 7h30 pm and all I could do is to get changed, shower, and go to bed. Then I wake up before 7am, get dressed, get myself prepared for work and catch the bus. It takes me an hour to get there.

 

So that being said, I wish I could work in my field so I can get more paid and finish earlier. =_= At least, everything is fine at work except for this weird customer. So there's this customer who's trying to go out with me but I'm just not interested. He asked me out twice on different occasions and I just tell him off that I am way too busy and that I go out with my friends. This guy is crazy. He gave me his business card and he seems to be a dentist. He works in Montreal and at my hometown "Laval". This is just annoying. Pure annoyance.

 

So last Monday, I was on my break and I was leaving the booth to go eat. Eating inside the booth is not recommended because customers cannot read the SIGN written that WE'RE TEMPORARY CLOSED and make unbearable lamentations to buy lotteries. So I'd rather eat elsewhere. So there I was choosing between Asian or Arabic food inside the mall. Which one? There was this Asian seafood dish which looked very good but I wanted to try something a little different. So I chose Arabic. But guess what, it was a mistake. I went to the waiting line and that dentist was there as well. Shit! He saw me and smiled at me. At that point, it's just too late to go back. I had no other choice but to smile back and went on this "polite" conversation to avoid an awkward moment. So I'm just going to skip the boring chat and jump to the juicy part.

 

me: Where are you from?

him: Syria

me: How about your family?

him: In my country.

me: So how's the political situation back there? Is it getting better? Are your family safe?

him: Well, there are still tension but it calmed down a little.

me: I'm glad to hear that.

him: What about you?

me: My dad is from Chile and my mom is from Cambodia.

him: Where's Cambodia?

me: *Is this guy serious?* It's between Thailand and Vietnam.

him: Oh thai women are extremely beautiful.

me: *...awkward...  * *smiles*

him: That's why you are beautiful as well. Cambodia must have inherited from Thailand.

me: *What!?* ....Thank you...

him: How long is your break?

me: *Oh hell no I am not telling him it's 45 minutes.* 10 minutes.

him: Only 10 min!?

me: Yeah! I got a lot of stuff to do so I must eat at my booth.

 

Are you serious? This guy wants to go out with me and he has no clue where Cambodia is? Ok... I know...it happens. I forgive that. However, to say that I inherited beauty from thai people, is he mad? Here's the thing. It doesn't matter how much you want to flirt but if you know absolutely nothing about a country, don't say stupid things. Thailand and Cambodia are sworn enemies because of political issues. And to say that I inherited beauty from Thailand, shut the hell up.

 

Year 2014 has not started well and I am not going to be nice with him next time if he says another stupid thing. Stupid people....you just can't avoid them. This is proof that these people are everywhere. Since he finished university to become a dentist, I expected some brain but that's not the case.
