They say that rats are the first to jump ship when it starts to sink.
Now you can take from that what you want, but me, it means its time to save my own skin, and I shall try just that.
Things at work are shall we say slow. so slow that over the weekend we managed to make $10 NZ over 8 hours, now things have been slow for a while now, were in a recession an all. But things are getting especially tight here, cost of products are going up, the boss is spending more than he can afford on product that doesn't sell and will more than likely never sell, customer counts are way down etc etc. now this may not be cause for alarm, but when they're looking at knocking down my hours by say half instead of addressing the real issue (over spending), well that gives me cause for alarm.
So now I'm wondering If I'll even have a job come the end of the month, which would be interesting given that I've planned to take 2 weeks off come the end of march.
So like any good rat, I'm planning my escape from this sinking ship.
Sink or swim, i gotta try, I'm guessing rats can swim?, lets hope this rat can.
Not really a humorous story like I'm used to posting I know, but maybe this will get a chuckle.
I checked my horoscope on Friday, it said that I'm having financial issues, that not to worry in a few weeks/months that will all disappear and I will be significantly happier.
Now lets get this out of the way. I don't generally buy into horoscopes, but this is one of those instances that could be true, I mean, lets face it, If I aint got no job and no money, then what financial issues could I have right ?

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!
another update, and so soon after the first.
So I tried setting up speech recognition on my PC at home.
I figured it would be faster and easier than typing out all the bullshit I want to put on the blog, I mean shit what could go wrong ?
So I begin the setup process, and wow it could not be easier, after about 20 mins of tutorial action I was good to go. Sweet I thought, lets get this fucker sorted and use it on the blog, an shit, it was easy to open the browser and blog, no issues at all, even logging in was simple.
So then it came to actually dictating to the blog. sweet lets give it a go.... yea na didn't fucken work, the recognition tab kept coming up "what did you say?" or it would just type out gibberish, after an hour or so of complete and utter failure, i said ...
"fuck it"
"what did you say?"
"oh fuck off"
"what did you say?"
"fuck, stop listening"
"what did you say?"
"say again"
"now ya just taking the piss ya fucker"
And I clicked that fucker closed, fuck that shit.
Now ya probably wondering, why the shit did you bother trying to set it up in the first place, well like I said I thought it would be easier, sometimes these events at work an what not happen so fast and my mind starts working fast and furious on how to word these stories that my typing cant keep up, and i end up getting shit muddled and it turns into a cluster fuck of fail.
Things like what I've just written are a lot easier to deal with, I can go back and add things, change things, it doesn't effect the outcome of the story. Does that even make sense ? I cant tell anymore..

It's the end of the world as we know it
So it's Jan 2012, and apparently the year the world ends, and you know what, I believe it.
As A new years resolution, i thought I would try being more tolerant, understanding and patient with the customers, 2 days back at work, and yea, na that went right out the window, tonight's had nothing but fucken morons
a couple of guys come in and want to play LoL (if you don't know what that is, then google it fucker(i will say it is a game though))
so they're on the PC's and one guy has no problems, the other, well fuck, comes out, "oh I cant play"
I go in to check, and hes using the windows start button, you know, the small one in the bottom left hand corner, and well there's nothing there, that's because we have a timer with bold lettering saying "CLICK HERE TO START"
so i show him to click here to start and hes all
"but but there's already a timer"
"yea that happens when I start the machine"
"but but I cant play!!"
I quickly show him to the shortcut for LoL, exit the room shaking my head, hoping for the end of the world real real quick.
Now I know it doesn't seem so bad, but imagine a whole night of these sorts of things and you start to get a small understanding of what happens here, these things are never just small events, they're snow ball effects, google it if you don't know what that is either.
Another example is the Indian lady I had in before, god nothing went right for her, oh and each an every time it was the computers fault aka my fault, In the end I had to just tell her to deal with it, as the chances of the 6 machines she used all having the same issue is just not possible, (family couldn't hear her) of course it couldn't be on there end, no no that's just silly, it was the machine she was on.
and just now some guy comes up.
"oh the machine just locked"
"yea that happens when ya timer is up"
"oh can I get 15 more minutes?"
"no, what I can do is just restart the machine for you without a timer, hows that sound?"
"I only want the 15..."
"yea well you see mate, we set a timer once, after that if you want more time, you have to watch it yourself. See it stops people getting up and asking for 15 after 15 all the time, so yea"
he just walked away.... thank fuck
anyways i'm fucken sick of typing
welcome to 2012, also I might try updating this more often, I think i'll have too

Another year, another moron..
so its 2011, a new year, a new start, a new life blah blah blah...
so i haven't updated for a while, and its not because I've had a lack or stupid customers, oh no nothing that drastic, I just haven't been arsed I guess, but I'm hoping that will change this year, I'm also hoping that the posts on here will be more positive towards my customers...... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yea fucken right.... ahhh i crack myself up.
so anyways story time,
a few weeks ago, just after new year i had an Indian gentleman come in, now hes been in a few times and been OK on the PC, this time was a little different, he comes up, we exchange greetings, blah blah you know, and i ask if he needs a PC
Him: "No, No, I need this letter typed up"
hes holding a stack of about 4 pages worth, as my norm I cock an eye and stare at him blankly and reply
Me: "well then your going to need a PC aren't you"
Him: (smiling like the dumb fucker he is) "No, you type for me"
Me: "I'm not typing that for you mate, that's not my job, I'm not a Secretary, I can put you on a PC and you can do it ya self"
his smile fades and hes left with that stupid blank look they all get.
Him: "No, you do, you"
Me: "fine I'll do it for you-"
his dumb smile comes back
Me: "For $60 per hour, minimum charge of an hour"
Him: "No, no, you do for me, no charge"
at this point I piss myself laughing, at the pure stupidity of it, yea sure ill type your dumb fuck letter up for free, no worries, fuck the other customers I'll have to serve, your more important... ahhhh
Me: " yeaaaaaaa no, not gonna happen mate, I can put you on a PC, and you can type it, but I'm not going to do it for your, that's not my job"
he looks around fr a bit and asks
Him: "is there anyone else that can do it for me??"
Me: "No, You either use a PC, and do it ya self, or you leave and hope a friend will do it for you"
so after all that shit he walks away defeated, that of course made me fairly happy.
I ended up mentioning it to the boss and he was all ohhh well maybe we should do it but under these circumstances... and I saw his point and thought yea fair enough OK, we'll try it, then he said him and I had to try being nicer to the moron's, i was like omgwtf no way, well no promises at least, a few days later i mentioned the whole typing letters to the other boss, and surprisingly his answer was completely different from what I had expected, he was all oh fuck no, I'm not typing for anyone blah blah blah, and after listening to his reasoning, i saw his point of view as well, and mentioned it to the other boss, and we were all in agreement, fuck that shit.
anyway, lost my train of thought, customer interrupted me so ill end it here

The kids are our future...
so been a while, and long while in fact, since my last post, my place of employment has relocated, like 10+ meters up the road... doesn't sound like much but its a much better place, it has a great harbour view and is like 3 times bigger than the previous store, but enough about the good stuff lets get into the shit fest that is the morons that frequent the establishment.....
so yea I've had a few morons in and out since the last post, but nothing that has made me go fuck this shit, this is going on the blog, i attribute this to the fact that most of the truly dumb fucks still haven't found the new store, lets hope it stays like that... anyway, last night, was the first night that I've gone oh fuck that is going right on the blog so lets get into it.
so were told, the kids are our future, our future leaders and decision makers, the ones that will run the country some day, the ones that will help make our world a better place for all, i was in that position many, many moons ago, and instead of doing something grand, i chose well this. but you know id like to believe all that about this new generation of kids, i really would, but if last night was anything to go off of, well all i can say is, were fucked...
so this kid calls me about an upcoming yugioh tournament were running in the school holidays, im not gonna name this child cause i simply cant be fucken bothered, he'll be SC (small child), so it goes a little like this...
me: welcome to the ******* ***** speaking.
SC: you know the ygo (yugioh) tournament on Wednesday
(and yes he jumped right to the question didn't say hello or even give his name, fucker assumes I'm a mind reader...well hes right i fucken am!! (not really))
Me: yea, what about it mate?
SC: it says on the forums that its 5d's format but Saturday was meant to be the last 5d's tournament what format is it going to be is it 5d's or not?
(seriously he didnt even pause once)
Me: check the forums, it says advanced.
(i know this cause the little shit asked the same question on Saturday and i gave him the same fucken answer like 3 times!!!)
SC: i did it says 5d's..
Me: ohh??? so if i go on the forums its gonna say 5d's huh (if ya wondering what 5d's means don't worry about it, it only means shit to ygo players, and if ya play ygo you know wtf it means anyways, so anyways i get on the forums and triple quadrupole check the format, and yes it was advanced)
Me: well will ya look at that, it says advanced constructed deck, no 5d's anywhere
SC: oh......
Me: you didn't even go to the forums did you?
SC: yea i did
Me: oh??? then how did you not see this, you just didn't even check did you, you just couldn't be bothered checking it could you!! you didn't even read it did you!!
SC: no.......
Me: well now you know, again, its advanced...
SC: OK than-
and that was that, i hung up on the little fucker, how fucken lazy and dumb can you be, ya told multiple times in one day, you have the means to find out the information yourself, and yet ya do nothing and waste someone Else's time, ffs if these little fuckers are our future, its looking fucken bleak

Just singing in the rain
Just when I thought things couldn't get any dumber i look outside and across the street I see some guy cleaning glass, on its own that's not news but i should mention its 9:40pm and its raining, and the glass is on the outside of the building.
yeah its that stupid...
Ive even got a video of the guy cleaning and while the quality ain't that great you can tell whats going on.
I was also gonna do some commentary about it for the video but i was like fuck this is so stupid I'm lost for words, i could say something, i should say something but dammm
video to come....
