Ok, a lot has happened, but not too much all that interesting.
Wednesday I got out of work late and then went to hang out with Gina at her place for a while. We watched an recorded episode of The Office, which was pretty funny. I had told her a long time ago that the show was funny and she should watch it, but she disagreed. Now, she thinks it’s hilarious. Go figure.
After visiting with her, I went to Wal-Mart to buy the other version of the new Paulina Rubio CD. Ugh, I hate the Wal-mart, but they are the only ones that have this version that I wanted. The Wal-Mart up in my area is super Hill Billy, and full of scary rednecks. The Spanish music section was small and I couldn’t find the CD. So I decided to go to the other Wal-Mart, the scary ghetto one.
I figured I could go there and stop by the McDonald’s near there to surprise Paco. He still hasn’t told me which McDonalds he works at, so I was just guessing. I know it’s close to his mom’s apartment, so I assumed it was that one.
I went to the McDonalds first and circled the parking lot, but his car was not there. I also noticed that the employees were wearing the blue uniforms, and Paco always wears the red, so obviously this is not his McDonalds. He won’t tell me which one is his, because he knows I will go up in there, and because he knows it makes me crazy and he likes to torture me like that. So now I’m thinking it’s the McDonalds at Capital Plaza. The investigation continues!
So I went to the Wal-Mart. OMG. That Wal-Mart is SCARY. I had to park an unsafe distance from the door and I was sure I was going to get stabbed on my way in. The sad thing is that the kind of people that shop at this one wouldn’t not stop to help or call the police, they would probably gather around and watch a stabbing.
The Spanish music section looked like a tornado had hit it, and there were like 10 Latinos riffling through the CDs and making it worse. I found the Paulina CD, but it only had one of the songs I wanted. ARRGH! Why did I even bother? So I went home and downloaded it online instead.
When Paco came home I told him I had gone to the McDonalds looking for him and he just laughed. I told him that I think he works at the Capital Plaza store and he just laughed some more. I will find him, and when I do, I will go in there and make him regret it.
It’s ON!
Thursday I left work on time because I had more than my fill for the day. I went shopping. I needed to buy birthday presents for Paco. I went to Circuit City first and got him some things, including a ______________. I wanted to get one for me too, but they only had one in stock.
So I went to Best Buy next to get the ___________ for me from there, but they were also out of stock. So I called over to the Best Buy in Cedar Park. That’s where things went all kinds of wrong. This idiot answers the phone and when I asked him to check stock he asked me to hold, but didn’t actually put me on hold, so I could hear everything he was saying. He was just chit-chatting with his coworkers! He got back on the line and said, “We don’t sell those.” NO. “Yes you do, because I was just at the other Best Buy and they had them there and they told me to try your location.” So he asked me to hold again, and still I heard him chatting with coworkers, then he gets back on the line and says, “Yeah, I just asked my manager and he said we don’t sell those at THIS location.”
WRONG. I was pissed. I hadn’t let out any frustration on any of my customers or coworkers that day, so it was all still in me and it was about to all come out on someone at the Best Buy. So I called Xoch because I knew she would be at her desk still. I had her check online at bestbuy.com to see if they had the model I wanted in stock at that location, and sure enough, they had three. It was on now.
I had planned on going over there during lunch today, but now I was pissed and someone needed to get cussed. I stopped by _________ first to get this _________ that Paco wanted, and then off to the BB. I walked in the store and went right to the _________ section and grabbed the one I needed, and they had MANY OTHER MODELS. Then I went to the customer service desk and asked to speak to the store manager. The girl there asked me what it was pertaining to, so I told her my story and of course with all the dramatizations I could muster. Well it so happened that the manager was standing right next to her and heard it all, so he said he would speak to the employee and he gave me 25% off on it. SNAPS for me!
I felt so good after leaving there, and what a release! That totally made my day. I did some more shopping at Target and Hobby Lobby afterwards, then went home and chilled out. Today work is not as bad as it has been. Hopefully it will be a good day. I’m so happy it’s Friday!
