Chewed Up Nipples

What a week. Let's see, the drama has really been going down at work. A new girl started about a week before I came back to Kroger (or about three weeks ago), and has been really stirring up trouble. More specifically, she's been accusing just about everyone in the pharmacy of having "bad attitudes," and has in general been acting cocky about how she's "fifteen times too qualified" for this position. Now, I pride myself in keeping neutral ground in the workplace, and life in general. I learned long ago that drama isn't worth the headache. So, I listen to people when they need to vent, give a little advice if asked, but mostly just call doctors, take scripts, and talk to patients to avoid it all. But even I was getting a little peeved by this chick, especially when she started calling a small handful of community college credits which focused on pharmacy technician training "pharmacy school." Bitch, please.

The other night she wanted to leave early, family emergency, but wouldn't ask anyone to cover her shift (as she was closing alone, and couldn't just up and leave). Finally another of my coworkers agreed to stay, saying that all she had to do was ask. Upon agreeing to take over said shift, the Newb had some sort of meltdown, snapping about how she didn't want to "catch attitude" from anyone who covered her shift. I'm writing a note to a patient a few feet away, and I swear to God, it was like a reality TV show. I could not believe this chick was attacking a coworker who just agreed to work an extra two hours for her sorry butt. Heated words were exchanged, and the Newb left. Left, and apparently quit. ??????! Wtf? I later learned more horrible dirt about her, like she was fired from her previous job, she was trying to take over the job of our head trainer (who's been working for Kroger about 10 years longer than her), and she's pretty much mouthed off to and accused everyone of having an attitude. Whatever the crap that means.

Uuugh. And I still haven't gotten a paycheck yet. Like I'm a monkey in this circus for free.

In other news, I visited with the Always Hilarious Beth tonight, which was as awesome as I knew it would be. She made me a delicious dinner of chicken tacos, and gave me a grand tour of her lovely new house in Swartz Creek. I was very excited; I love it when friends buy houses and give me tours. Especially slightly older houses which have interesting little tid-bits of character here and there I can squeal about, like the stained-glass mirror in the bathroom. :D OMG, and her kitties are so cute. I can't even stand it.

She's over seven months pregnant now, so among the usual hilarious quotes I get to enjoy are various gross things about how her body is all jacked up now. For instance:

Me: I'm brushing the cat hair off my boobs.
Beth: I know you just want to touch them.
Me: You know me too well. *jiggles boobies*
Beth: Yeah... I can't do that. Mine leak.

And....

Me: So, how long do you want to nurse?
Beth: Probably until he starts teething. After that, no way. I don't want my nipples to look like chewed up pieces of gum.

Good times, good times.

Had a great time last weekend with Mike. He took me to the Jazz Festival in East Lansing, and on Sunday for Father's Day we invited Mom and Dad out to El Azteco to eat on their rooftop patio. By far the best Mexican food ever. I think they had a great time. :)

Next weekend is my birthday people, so get your spankers ready. ;-D
