Ok now is it me or is flirting way over rated. Maybe I just don't know how to do it? Ok so your in line at the grocery store. You see a person of the opposite sex and you make eye contact and smile. They look back return the same and make their way over to talk. Is that good flirting? For me it doesn't work like that. I see someone of the opposite sex looking at me I turn my head, pop my lips and give them the what the he** are you looking at look. I mean really you have anti fungal cream in your cart not to mention generic cereal. I mean really it could never work!!! Or am I wrong?
Your riding in your car down the street and a person of the opposite sex roles up on you. You glance over, smile, look ahead turn back and give a wink. They motion for you to pull over in a lighted parking lot and exchange numbers. Is that good flirting? For me it doesn't work like that. I see someone of the opposite sex role up on me I look over there turn my noise up, roll the window down and say "Honey I'm hoping that's your mother's car cause a man in a pink PT cruiser can do nothing for me. & I just hope that you know they recalled that car seat last month so you may want to investigate that before putting your child back in it and pull off" I mean really it could never work!!! Or am I wrong?
Your at the sports bar just having a drink and a persons of the opposite sex sits down next to you. You speak, strike up a conversation, giggle a little, smile a lot and then exchange phone numbers. Is that good flirting? For me it doesn't work like that. I'm at the sports bar just having a drink a person sits down next to me, they speak, try and strike up a conversation, giggle and smile I can't help but to say, "Honey did you know you have broccoli in your teeth, also I am so sure that you knew that was a smedium shirt when you bought it. That is not muscles sweetie those are breast and on a man they shouldn't sag. Also you've been sipping on that drink for way to long. When the ice melts it's time to let it go. I mean really it could never work!!!! Or am I wrong?
Moral of the story: To all my people the odds of you ever getting an invitation to my wedding is slim to none. I mean really it could never work and I know I am not wrong.
VENT: Ok seriously the mechanic tells me my car is $1500 to fix. I explain to him that I bought this designer outfit from Ross's and that I really don't have money like that. I mean really his thing is labor is what is taken it up. I said Honey I don't see you guys working diligently enough to me that you should charge me for your slowness. Really do like an attorney and have a clock set up to record the correct amount of time you spend on my car. I am so freaking mad that I left out but not before I had to talk myself out of not swiping the entire shelf items on the floor. Jeez

What is bad Customer Service or Drugs or no Drugs Whitney is the Bomb
The rule of thumb for good customer service is the customer is always right. Ok I am going to give this to you from two stand points:
Your the customer: Ok the girl at the counter is talking to her friends while your standing there. She then turns to you and say "yes can I help you'.....before you get a chance to say anything she bust out laughing and says "boy you stupid'. Ok so you cut her off and tell her what you want. She sighs a heavy sigh and then says "can you repeat it"...... you do. She says just a minute walks away finish her conversation and then comes back and say "sorry we don't have that". Well that's pretty much it so you snap, explain to her that she should get use to making minimum wage because with this type of attitude that's pretty much all she'll ever make. And because your really pissed you begin to explain to her that split ends do not qualify as long hair and painting her nails electric blue is not cute cause that's the color of the uniform shirt. Are you wrong or is she?
Your the customer service person: A person calls and says "how much is your apartments?" You say "$900 a month". They say oh it's $900 a month? You answer AGAIN. They say "what does that include?" You say water they say "oh that includes the water?" sigh You answer AGAIN. They say "what are your requirements" you say "we do a criminal and credit background check." They repeat what you say and say "oh so that's what you do?" sigh sigh. They say "what are you looking for on credit"? Now common sense to me says your looking to see how a person pays their bills because that's all credit is for but you have to answer with a smile. Finally they say "ahhh well do you have to be working cause I've been calling around for 2 hours and everywhere I call they want you to have a job". So you snap and say "well actually yes but for the time you have spent calling around apartment communities you could have went job hunting. Or maybe since you obviously like talking on the phone you could get a telemarketing job. As a matter of fact since you like to repeat what someone says you should apply for a mocking bird gig damn it." Are you wrong or is she?
Just Curious
Vent: Ok for real... I know Whitney Houston had her problems in the past with drugs but there are lots of people who have had habits and we still supported them. Even in WH highest days she still remained a lady and a diva. How many of you have relatives that have used drugs? Did you not still invite them to the family reunion? Did they not be put on paper products for Thanksgiving? People purchase Whitney's new cd don't download it. She is and always will be the #3 Diva... behind Pattie and Aretha.

Friends How many of us have them or GROW THE HELL UP!!!
What is your take on friendship? I'll give you a second to think about it.....................
Well mine is this. I prefer to hang around people with like thoughts, interest, and hobbies. I do not believe opposites attract. I enjoy laughing why would I want to be around a serious person, I like to read why would I want to be around someone that doesn't, I enjoy current events why would I be around someone that never watches the news or read the newspaper. I am not a slut so why associate myself with a slut. What would we have in common to talk about. NOTHING. I adore travel why be around someone who has never left the area. I eat at nice restaurants why be around someone that feels eating out is a waste of money.
Basically my point is what would we have to talk about. We would be on separate sides of the spectrum. Now I'm not saying you can't be associates but I am saying we can't be friends.
An associates is someone that I know and I am cordial to on a as needed basis. I respect them just because they are human.
A friend to me is someone that you can have good conversation with.... laugh with and enjoy life's simple pleasures.
A super close friend is all of the above in addition to I can share very personal information about myself and my life and know that the person will not judge me but try and help me as much as possible. They genuinely have my best interest at heart.
You know which one you are.
Vent: Who or why at our age goes backwards? I know a person that is willing to settle just for the sake of saying she has a man. WTF that is crazy to me. Is it that serious? Ok look at it like this. What do you have to offer someone, what signal are you sending, what is your expectation. If you can truthfully answer those questions and change the behavior if need be do you really have to go backwards to an old FLING? You would be able to move forward and get a brand new man with your brand new attitude. Jeeeezzzzz

Has My Job lost their mind or Stuck like Chuck
Wow... I didn't realize that it has been over a month since I lasted posted. I'm sorry people. I am so sure you have not be able to keep up.
Well to bring you up to speed..... I just found out my job said that I am doing such a wonderful job that they don't want to move me to another property. Like really are you serious. Just to make sure that I am clear. You think I am doing a great job and that I have brought the property around but you don't want me to move to another property and do the same because your worried that the property I am at may go down...... Wouldn't the new manager just have to keep up the work?
Hummmmmmm. Ok so I gave you the impression that I am slow and stupid and I am going to settle for that. Well just for the record NNNNOOOOTTTTTT. So it's time to make something happen right. I mean I refuse because I live in the south to be shucking and jiving. I mean do I favor a woman who would wear and Aunjie Mamma scarf and sing old sprituals while shucking corn. Nope. Watch how I put this together people.
Vent: I really hate the the media didn't do a better job of getting the word out that slavery is over. I mean it's been like over 150 years since we'ze been free. I think I will stand at the top of the tallest building and yell it out so that people will know we live in an equal opprunity country.

How Drunk are you? or BET has gone plum ghetto
I was talking with a love one today and we were discussing drunks. What makes you a drunk? Well if you have to have a drink a day then that would make you a drunk. If you drink just on the weekend then your an weekend alcoholic/drunk. If you drink socially then your a social alcoholic/drunk. Bottom line: true story,. A drunk who is considered handicap and normally resides in a motorized chair was so drunk he lost his chair. Now how in the world do you lose your chair. Not once but twice. LOL LOL the moral of the story.....don't drink and ride.
Have you seen the trailer for Tiny and Toya. So I take it there is not requirements that say once you get so much money you have to take an ethic class. That is ridiculous the way they talk and carry themselves. We are already label and the only Black Network helps promote that kind of behavior. Outraged I tell you.
VENT: Why do grown people still lie. I mean honestly if you don't have anyone to answer to other then God himself why tell unnecessary lies. Let's get it together people. I'm a need for you to be accountable for what you are saying. Effective today I am putting all liars on BLAST

Am I cynical? or Property Managment sucks
My bested friend Karla a.k.a Pooh told me today that I can be a smart-ass. Now of course I never knew this but after several rounds with her I only agreed 30% of the time. I think the other 70% I am provoked. Ok like my job. They expect for me to have good customer service right. How can a person have good customer service if the customer is 51/50 (crazy-stupid)?
Well this guy calls today and this is the conversation:
Me: ******** this is Carole, how can I help you?
Idiot: Is the pool open today?
Me: No it's not
Idiot: Well it was open on Thursday
Me: Ok and you asked me was it open today
Idiot: *sighs* (like I said something wrong.)
I don't think its fare that i am being accuse of being a smart-ass when people make it so easy for me to comment. However that was the debate: Do I have to comment on everything that I think is stupid? HELL YES
VENT: You promise I was nice enough to give the girl at Borders book store some of my MAC lip gloss and she rubbed it in. Ok first of all I thought I was doing her a favor and all since she had on turquoise eyeshadow and burgundy rouge and needed lip gloss to top if off. HOWEVER she rubbed it in. rubbed it in. YOU DO NOT RUB IN LIP GLOSS. HELLLLOOO has she never heard about her lip gloss is suppose to pop. NO CLASS. before you ask I drop it on her fingers from a distance.

My 1st blog post or I have to lose this weight.
Ok I decided that I needed to lose weight because it's just silly now. I joke a lot and send out text messages regarding my weight but I have looked at a recent picture and.......
When I first moved to Georgia I was 124lbs..Now by all means that wasn't cute. I can remember being extremely skinney and wanted so bad to be "thick". Then I moved here and Derek was taking me out to steak houses what it seems like ever week and before I knew it I was 136, 142 Then I got a job making a little more money and I was eating out on my own daily. Next thing I knew my pounds were 162, 172 and I won't even go any further.
The Doctor has said that I do need to lose several pounds as well. I just don't know where to begin. People give you advice but hunny they don't look like much their selves. I have to do what works for me.
I have decided that today...June 24th, will be the beginning of the end of fatness for me.
Oh I didn't introduce my blog did I? On my blog I will be discussing parenting, current events, men, women, relationships, sports, music, motorcycle riding, and what ever pisses me off for the day. I do hope you come back daily as I think this will be therapeutic for me. A place to release my frustrations. Any comments I feel I don't like I do plan to erase. My format will be the blog then my vent.
On another note. I had a decent day at work. I convinced my staff to join me with losing weight. I didn't have to yell at any of them. None of the Residents got on my nerves. I read 3 more chapters in the book I am reading. I can say it was a good day. I mean Ice Cube did.
VENT: What makes your children who you know for a certain that you set an example for not take heave to anything you taught them? I mean really.....I have had extra grown women tell me that I will be able to see my teachings when they get about 25 years old. NOT I need to see some of it at least 30% TODAY.
