People take advantage of nice people like me

So Im at work today, and my manager pulls me aside…and i hear the ever popular phrase, “your in trouble, lets talk.” It seems like lately this is happening all the time anymore. Ok, so she tells me there is a customer complaint. The complaint is this. This customer called in to complain about a teller that wouldnt give her, her daughters account number so that she could get her daughter out of the negative on her bank account. Its the law…we cannot give any information away.  Why is it that people are still shocked that we can’t do this?????? So the customer comes back in a couple days later with her daughter and all the other Von Trap kids and wants to complain how now her daughter has overdraft fees on her account. So of course being the nice person I am, I help her. I do know these customers on a personal level as well. After opening up the moms and the daughters account, I started seeing them every where…including my gym where I work out weekly. So thats why the only one they wanted to see and talk to was me. They say that I am the only one who understands them, and there needs to be more people like m. I said how sorry i was about the fees…yadda yadda….you should keep a ledger….blah blah…why are you in this situation again…blah blah…got the manager involved customers are upset….yadda yadda…customer still upset and we will not wave the fees…..ok..ok…so here is where the major turn comes in. The daughter says “well i dont want this to happen again, put my mom on my account.” I suggested against this, (mom is still learning how to use the account herself, single mom, 5 kids, poor poor poor), and anything the mom may do on her account, could in return hurt her daughters account being a co cowner. I was trying to protect her. So the daughter changed her mind, and with the two of them, they decided to just let mom have the account number that way, she would never have this problem again…….DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!! 

Couple weeks later a.k.a……TODAY!!!  i get the “your in trouble” talk to find out, that the mom tells all of my above bosses about how i am giving the account number away, and that i have done this all along, and that I have known this family forever……JUST SO THEY CAN GET OUT OF FEES!!!!!  really?? The first time I ever met either of them is the day they stopped by my office, and then just like i do with all of my customers I talk to them, make them feel important, and find ways to help them financially….and i do a great job with this.  I did all this for them??  and now…..they totally have no idea what they did!!  and Im prob getting fired now! Prob…is more..like…a just waiting for the day when district walks in that door…and I get another, “your in trouble” talk….and I the sad thing is…i didnt do anything…and she is just saying that to get out of fees…..bullshit parade.  My word against a customers….and how am I to prove my innocence??  Im not…..so I guess I am just going to be on the unemployment train once again……I just want to move away.  And never see that horrible family again.

And now I have to join another gym.  shoot….more fees… and another job

Pregnant or an Alcoholic?

I cant believe people sometimes….seriously!!!!  Yes this has happened before…but ususally people when I tell them…”nope sorry not prego…im just fat” they at least back off and feel stupid and change the subject….but not norman, I will call him Norman to protect his identity…he looks like a Norman, but Norman says to me “so when are you due?” “im not Norman, Im just fat…no baby.” “No baby….but you look pregnant.” “I assure you I am not pregnant….Im just fat!” And while I am telling him this….he is staring at my stomache…..just staring…….and wont stop. So I ask, “what else can I help you with today?”  And at this point…i thoght he would just back off…..but oh no….not at all. What he says next will really make you laugh…..”You know what they call that dont you”, he says while pointing at my stomach, “They call that a beer belly! haha.” As I stood there looking at Norman, who just first called me fat and that I look Pregnant, but now he is accusing me of being such an alcoholic that I have “beer belly”, I couldnt help but notice how everything about him was absolutly gross as hell. Norman is a man about…50 ish…..60 ish…bald, fat fat fat, has random huge ass moles on his face, smells like the urine that he bathes with, and not to mention the chewing tobacco that was spitting out of his mouth when he talks, pieces where flying on to my destk…that was already on his lips and his teeth(you know it makes you want to puke). “no Norman, its not a beer belly either, I hardly drink, and I have never been a big drinker, not a beer belly…I am just fat.” And here is where he had his chance again to quit…but not Norman….”So you like food them huh(as he winks) stuff yourself full daily? Never leave anything on the plate? Yeah you like food.” ” No norman, like everyone in the world I like food….but ask those who know me, they will tell you….I eat less then anyone.  (and by the looks of it, it looks like he has always had more then his share. Have you ever seen Seven, the glutton guy….thats Norman.  So here is where I walk away and say goodbye to Norman, the man who obviously couldnt keep his mouth shut, and his opinions to himself.

Another Katrina out there? Someone who is claiming to be me?

Identity theft is America’s fastest-growing crime.

Last year alone, more than 9.9 million Americans were
victims of identity theft, a crime that cost them roughly $5 billion.

And I am one of them. About 9 months while I was working at Sprint. Someone had stolen my license,debit visacard,and my check book, while I was at work.I got up to goto a meeting…and it was gone. Actually I didnt even notice until later that day that it was gone. But then charges starting appearing on my card. BIg 5, Fred Meyers, Mcdonalds, Grocery Outlet, Walmart.Equaling up to $800+.I told my bank and they issued me a new bank card, but not before 2 bad checks were wrote to local pizza places in the area. My bank had no proof that I was not that one actually doing this. So Icould never prove it….so I was stuck paying the bill. So 9 months later, Iget a call from a collection agency, asking for a Yolanda. Apparently….I went with this “yolanda”girl,and took her to the doctors,and signed for her to have the bill sent to me….BULLSHIT!! First off, I dont know anyone by that name…and I am poor, so I couldnt even afford to pay someone elses bill. Then Thislast friday. A lady calls me,and tells me that she has my license….Im a little confused at first…because I have my license…its in my wallet. So she explains, that her neighbors were just evicted, and the place is thrashed and she went through it with the landlord, and they found mylicense sitting on there counter. So I went to this place…that was in the ghetto…seriously! And thereit was….the license that was stolen from me,I now had. Luckily I had my camera,and took pictures of everything, I got names of wholived there…everything!! This place smelled soooo bad…thanks again Michael for going with me. It looked as if they were insuch a hurry to get out. things that were brand new was left behind. Baby clothes, food, family pictures(and I never seen any of them) doctor bills, School papersfor the kids, dirty diapers every where….seriously I came across one that was just lying there completely open….yuck!!  They even had the front door open to air out the place….eeewww. So with this new evidence I go down to the Police Station and File a report. And just so you know, when you go there, you have to pick up the most awful gross phone ever, to tell a policeman that you need him…And afterwards I will need a doctor too because now I will have hepattis. It was sooo gross…so I explain to the officer everything. And as soon as I said that address….his exact words were “Oh yeah, I know that address…very well…I have arrested them quite a few times. There are a lot of people that live or lived there…yeah thats bad.”  Great! Now I feel great!  So I have no idea since there was like a million people that were living there,I dunno if I will get my money back….or what….i guess we will see….I wonder what else they used my identity for?? It was just so weird to see my license in a foreign place…and now its all bent up and falling apart…grrr……Stupid people……they prob left it when they left, because they realized I had nothing else for them to steal.  I wonder how many other “bad checks” they had wrote with my name on it. GRRR

He Said, She Said…Blah Blah Blah

Its frustrating to me.  When you think you know a person, and trust them, and then they stab you in the back. Why is it that people have such an urge to talk about other people. Is it programmed in our heads, not to be trustworthy? Is it sooo fricken important to always have something to tell someone????  Obviously, I am leading up to something here. Yes….I was backstabbed. Yes it has happened before, come on we all were in high school. But I have been done with that for sooooo long now. So long.  Yeah we all say something that we shouldn’t, even when we are 100 years old. We will always find the need to talk. But, when someone says, I promise!!  Im going to hold you to that! And if I wanted to tell you something I would!  Ok,so recently someone who I did trust, was in my car, and saw something that she shouldnt have. Yes it was my fault for not hiding my personal better, but she now knew something about me, no one else did.  Not even my best of friends. It just wasnt something that anyone needed to know.  So I trust her and she says, ” I promise”.  So about a week goes by, and messeges on myspace start comming in, and when I would go to the mall, people would ask me about it.  They all knew the truth, because they were all told by her. But there I was pinned in a corner. The rumor wheel as exposed and I ….its target.  Of course when one person tells another who tells another who tells another, the story starts to change a bit. People add in what they would want to hear, and pretty soon, I become a pregnant slut. Which Im not at all!!!  I just wish that before more rumors are spread, people should come to me, the actual  source. Dont tell people. You dont even know me. I bet you didnt even know my name, until it became the hot topic to talk about! I dont hate or angry with the one who started it all. I’m just dissapointed that it had to come to this. So what Im saying, is instead of continuing the mass rumor chain, come to me, ask me, I will tell you the truth. Im done with High School.

The Lost Jogger (for Misten)

 Things a girl would do for her best friend!!

“You want me to pretend that I am lost, and go to his house, knock on his door. Just so you know what he is doing? Doesnt that seem insane to you?”

“Yeah but he is so cute though. Just do it and we will hide here in the bushes. Plus its kind of a fun prank. Here put on Miranda’s Nikes, and Elizabeths track jacket and put your hair up with this.”

“Why do I have to be the one????”

” Because your the craziest one!!  And your the only one who can keep a straight face!! Now Kat go!”

“(ding dong!) Hello….Im lost….can you help me?’

Things we will do for your friends. A tribute to my pal….back in the day! High School was crazy!  And I was
