Green is not me huh?...hmm The only thing I have against green....Is that it was my mothers fav. Color...Everything was green ...green ...Green...But I like this green...Why do I have to be blue???...Not everything can be blue...kinda depressing anyhow...Besides everything else in my life is changing...Why not my fav. Color?..I kinda am growing fond of orange and yellows too which is rather odd for me...Even more than green...But I want bright and cheerful things...Not boring and dull...Blue just Feels BLAh....
for some reason I feel the need to be original with myself...Like I'm slowly finding pieces of me and who I really am...kinda like putting a puzzle together, I no longer feel the impending desires of my mother forcing me to mold and contort myself to her wishes and how she'd like me to be...
Speaking of my mother *doing a dance* the house sold woo woo the house sold...Know what this means???...I do!!!... They are staying on the other side of the country woowoo...I probly shouldn't be so excited..But It means it will be a long while before they make it back to Alaska...I Miss my Dad dearly though...And I often worry over his health and his mental state...While being the only one around to put up with my mother...*sigh* can't win them all...

Returned
Nice to see pooki has shown his wonderful writing talents again...
good to know ya still think about me *grin*...Wow...It's pretty cool..I feel liberated...To know I really have no desire for him...I care yes...But that desire is gone...And I don't mind...It's amazing what someone else's outlook on life can do for you. Makes me feel good about me anyhow...
As for your Chips Pooki..I could care less but I'd assume that when the shelves are empty...That be good reason to get a phone call but those are up to my manager..I'm only a lil peon short and stout...Can't sell product that isn't there...Most people know that...So id then assume if your "driver" is getting commission he'd want product there as well...But maybe I shouldn't assume those things...
anyhow figured I'd blog this one guys...Made my evening brighter...

This years festivities
So I have some concern about this years festivities and my new job...Not to mention being promoted to asst. Manager...Apparently I'm one of few who take my job seriously and follow through. I have gained much respect for some from this job including myself...And feel sorry for a lot of people...However I don't let that keep me from doing my job....Seems as though I burst a few bubbles every day...I do what I must....Rumor has it though I'm the biggest Bitch in Anchorage to buy liquor from...Have a feeling this summer it's going to be a very small world
I wonder if maybe I should place an add...

BS anyone?
So last night was totally awesome I hope everyone had at least as much fun as I did...I'm glad we all had the opportunity to sit down and have fun for a change I miss hanging out with everyone. LOL and I'm glad we didn't have a fire pit around cause I'm sure Baxter would have been perched in the middle of it LOL. Anyway thanks again everyone...It was a blast I hope we get a chance again soon.

Ok...So back to the drunks...
This has become the new routine for the day shift at the new store...Not quite as event full as the night shift but hey I get to have a little fun..."The regulars"
So this morning I open the doors...Ready for the awaiting crowd... I get the usualls that get off work @ 8am and are headed home ( I find these things out..Think being a hair dresser is bad?...)they are cool I see them once a day...Good peoples...Steel reserve 211 40oz...
Then as the hour strays on I have the "couple" that come in every morning who are...hmmm...Members..Of *anchor house...White male age 50 6'4"150lbs maybe long hair...Native female age 35 4'9" 150lbs...GPC 100's, GPC king, reese's king, paid separately.
Any minute now "the buglar lady"...Or "the flip flop lady"(she likes to show up at -10 with no coat wearing shorts or a short dress and flip flop fall on my head dress shoe kinda things.) She is now presumed our recent fire bug suspect...A week ago someone lit the trashcan on fire and shattered a window and charred up the side of the building pretty good. Come to find out she's a member of *anchor house as well..And has a criminal background of arson...Single Dr. Pepper in a 12oz can 3 muskiteers 1 package buglar rolling tobacco.
the old man in the orange coat...heh..I can't describe this one I don't know if I can...But he as well is a member of *anchor house...1 camel filter king 1 package top tobacco..Paid separately must have receipt and bag...
oh and don't forget the deliveries that are coming into a store with no back stock space...600 hundred's cases of beer on the wall ...Take one down pass it around 600 cases of beer on the wall...
hmmm here's a new one...ohhh pause at the "out only " sign(new inebriation technology...Arctic entry way..Entrance from there is to the right and exit from the store to the left..With large white signs and big black bold print that say in and out only all automatic sliding doors...If consumer pauses at out only door and takes more than 10 seconds to realize they are in the wrong place and that door really isn't going to open...We have to wonder...)oh that was long sorry...Any how only a slight pause...5'10" native male straw hat long hair jean jacket and boot...Not worried but I'm cautious...12c natural ice...
3 hours later...Same native male...Oops almost ran into the out door this time...hmm...oooo 24 can natural ice...heh oops watch out for that big display of beer sir...somethings different though...It's the hat!. This time it looks like it was sat on crushed and ran through the garbage disposal...I don't recall that.. Knowing full well this man is well over 45..."Do you have ID sir?"..."YYYes"..Whoa...My daily does of beer in one breath..."Have you been drinking already today sir?" .."Yea you just sold me a half rack"...Trying to hold in the chuckle.."Sorry sir I cant sell you any more liquor today"..And well I probly should repeat the words he mentioned on his way out the door....
And the day was only half over...HAPPY MONDAY!
* Anchor House.. the local I'm a nut job half way house...only alowed to purchase tobacco and food ..refused liquor sale due to psyciatric medications and some other reasons.

Okies... I'm feeling nice and organized about my life...Things are going very well...And I'm feeling proud of myself...Both my jobs are awesome...The liquor store wants to make me assistant manager...But I refuse to leave my store...Ok so my manager won't let me leave...My nanny job is definitely trying at times but I like it...And it makes it self worth while...Specially when I get to go to Hawaii for Christmas...hehehhe...
I have some concerns since everything its going so well I'm wondering what's going to come smack me in the face next LOL...
I'm on my own and stable...Sometimes I wondered if I'd ever make it this far in life..
.And as far as boys I really can't say I'm too worried about that situation...Yea I'd like a half decent boyfriend...Not just a toy...But I can't make that happen...So I will suffice with the things I do have and when it happens... Well then I guess I'll have to pursue.
only thing that I'm still uneasy about, is my parents house selling...It has to! Guys they cant come back! I love them dearly but I love them most on the other side of the country.
Anywho I had an awesome time today it was great to get to see everyone all in the same place...Summer bbq's Soon!!!

Rage against the homeless
Alright, so I know I haven't blogged anything meaningful in a while so I might as well it's my day off and I'm procrastinating doing laundry. I've mostly been working..So yea that's about all I talk about now...Hey maybe I'll have another job soon! *rolling eyes*..But anyhow
So, company policy says we can't serve the homeless...Lots of reasons...Valid ID..Drinking in public..Shoplifting,begging..And the list goes on....
So it is a constant battle...Always..
Day 1...
I'm behind the counter just hangin out...My coworker is sitting out front smoking...Still withing eye line (coworker signals)...homeless lady walks into the store...Native, late 50's, about 6 layers of clothes on and in serious need of a bath...Not a shower a good soak...Ok maybe a few soaks...As she walks past the counter and my watchful eye...I noticed she'd peed her pants..hmm...The stench follows...She comes to the counter..
Ah yes.. I think to myself..hmm this should be interesting...Where's the lysol..
Ok so she comes to the counter..Big less than toothy grin... The stench of urine and booze waifs over the counter..I politely smile and ask for id as I look over her shoulder to see my coworker outside shakin her head and giving me the tap on the nose...I was one step ahead..
hmm no ID...Well mam to be in our store your required to have ID...Well I'm 57 she says can't you see that...Well lets try this...mam have you Been drinking this evening...mm well no I I was just getting done babysitting I want a beer now...hmm yea well have you been drinking already?
no..hmmm well I can smell liquor on you...Well I just woke up I had a few beers last night...Oh I thought you were babysitting...(damn who's letting her watch their kids)...hmmm well company policy says I cant serve you because I can smell liquor so ill have to ask you to leave...She left not very willingly ...But a quick threat to Call the police or CSP hurried her out the door...
Mind you it took three days of this before she gave up it was to the point she wouldn't get but two steps in the door and we'd have to tell her she was 86'ed and was trespassing...
There are a few here and there that we just know...All we do is ask for ID when they walk in and they turn around and walk out...About 4 or 5 of them anyways...
There is this one...Tend to stand across the street and beg money from bar goers...ID guess he got kicked out of the local mini mart / liquor store now though...He's started to ask people to just flat out but him a beer... There has been a couple times he's had customers ask up to watch them walk across the parking lot with their stuff because he'll follow them...Now come on dude your standing across the street so drunk your puking between begging patrons...Priorities I suppose...
so Christmas rolls around and they all think the rules don't apply...I saw every one of them that day...They were gathered around the street in herds. This one man in particular caused quite the mess..The one I mentioned earlier...He'd worked his way around the block and managed to hide on the side of the building we didn't have a camera on and next to the restaurant...Cause they all know if they aren't on our property we cant do anything... He's coaxing customers over to him and begging beers from them because its Christmas...Well they get a drunk guy to come in...And well he was drunk I picked up on that one rather quick like...However since the intoxication had set inhe decided to share his knowing...He started off with "you know what I'm really up to huh?"...Well yes indeed I do sir...I'm listening...I'm buying for homeless....I said awww how nice cause its Christmas huh? Yea its really nice of me huh.... Well that's too bad sir cause I cant sell to you anyways...But thanks and have a great night...
black guy comes in buys a pack of phillies...2 min. Later walks in again and tries to buy the same 2 40's that the other guy bought...hmmm well this is interesting lets see what happens...He bought them...Walked across the street and dropped them in the snow...NO WAY...Well he just got himself 86'ed...And the rage against the homeless goes on...

no..hmmm well I can smell liquor on you...Well I just woke up I had a few beers last night...Oh I thought you were babysitting...(damn who's letting her watch their kids)...hmmm well company policy says I cant serve you because I can smell liquor so ill have to ask you to leave...She left not very willingly ...But a quick threat to Call the police or CSP hurried her out the door...
Mind you it took three days of this before she gave up it was to the point she wouldn't get but two steps in the door and we'd have to tell her she was 86'ed and was trespassing...
There are a few here and there that we just know...All we do is ask for ID when they walk in and they turn around and walk out...About 4 or 5 of them anyways...
There is this one...Tend to stand across the street and beg money from bar goers...ID guess he got kicked out of the local mini mart / liquor store now though...He's started to ask people to just flat out but him a beer... There has been a couple times he's had customers ask up to watch them walk across the parking lot with their stuff because he'll follow them...Now come on dude your standing across the street so drunk your puking between begging patrons...Priorities I suppose...
so Christmas rolls around and they all think the rules don't apply...I saw every one of them that day...They were gathered around the street in herds. This one man in particular caused quite the mess..The one I mentioned earlier...He'd worked his way around the block and managed to hide on the side of the building we didn't have a camera on and next to the restaurant...Cause they all know if they aren't on our property we cant do anything... He's coaxing customers over to him and begging beers from them because its Christmas...Well they get a drunk guy to come in...And well he was drunk I picked up on that one rather quick like...However since the intoxication had set inhe decided to share his knowing...He started off with "you know what I'm really up to huh?"...Well yes indeed I do sir...I'm listening...I'm buying for homeless....I said awww how nice cause its Christmas huh? Yea its really nice of me huh.... Well that's too bad sir cause I cant sell to you anyways...But thanks and have a great night...
black guy comes in buys a pack of phillies...2 min. Later walks in again and tries to buy the same 2 40's that the other guy bought...hmmm well this is interesting lets see what happens...He bought them...Walked across the street and dropped them in the snow...NO WAY...Well he just got himself 86'ed...And the rage against the homeless goes on...
