It Makes Me Want To Scream
Yesterday at work was so incredibly frustrating. For one thing, I got paid, but I only got paid for one day of work 'cause I didn't work on Saturday. So the grand total of my paycheck was, drum roll pleas, $28.29. Whoo. Big fucking check. I was so pissed. So, now I have to ask my parents for some money. Damn it.
Then, this old woman came through my line and her total for her groceries was $10.99. So first she handed me a 5 and 3 ones. I corrected her, and she handed me a 10 dollar bill. And nothing else. So I told her .99 cents! Trying to talk loudly, but can't cause of my voice. So she pulls out her change purse and begins placing coins on the counter. A quarter, a few dimes, a nickel and a bunch of pennies. "Is that enough?" she said. And I said, no I need 99 cents that's only 71 cents. She said, "Oh" and then pulled out more pennies. I said, "Do you have a dollar bill?" which I knew she did 'cause I saw them in her wallet earlier. But either she didn't hear me or didn't care 'cause she didn't do anything. So then she puts all the pennies away and pulls out 2 dimes. "Is that right?" "I need 8 more cents." So she pulls out about 5 pennies and then starts pulling out dimes. And I say to her, "That's a dime. I need 3 pennies." That happened about 3 times. Then she gave me 2 pennies and stood there. And I said, "I need one more penny." And she pulled it out and gave it to me. Oh my fucking god! That took way to long. Especially when there was a line of people behind her!
Okay, then there was the lady who thought lemons were limes and I had to correct her.
Then there was the guy who wanted to by at lest 25 5lb things of ground beef 'cause they're on sale.
I swear I wanted to scream by the time the night was over.
Then I call my dad asking for some money and I get a lecture about how I need to be more careful with my money.
Then I go home and see there's this "boil water" advisory sign posted outside the apartment complex. So I go back out to buy some bottled water.
I just had a very frustrating day!
