Filthy restrooms.....and of course, True Blood!!

Working downtown, we get a lot of homeless people coming in. In the summer, they come in to get a cup of water. In the winter, they come in to get a cup of coffee.


I have no problem with that at all. I feel bad for them and I get mad when co workers complain about it. It's sad to me. But it always seems that they start taking advantage of it.


One man was coming in for a while, getting water, using our bathrooms. I would talk to him when he would come in. Or if I was outside taking a break and he came over to talk, I'd talk to him for a while. But then he started getting creepy. Telling me how my smile made his day and I was so friendly, which is fine....then he told me he hadn't been with a woman in 20 years. Ugh, yeah.....that's when I got scared. We ended up calling security on him, we had him barred. He came back and we eventually had him arrested.


Then we had a man coming in to get coffee. He would come in everyday. But then he started taking two cups of coffee. When we didn't say anything about that, he started balancing three cups of coffee on his way out the door. We had to finally tell him that the coffee was for patients only. If he hadn't started taking advantage, we never would've made him stop. He would come back and we ended up having to bar him, too.


But it is now just getting ridiculous. They come in and practically shower in our restrooms. They leave it so dirty, our patients are afraid to sit on the toilet!


After our latest incident, we're to the point where we want to lock the bathroom doors and have patients ask us for a key. Which sucks for our patients.....and for us.


The other day, after I had already left for the day, a patient came to the window and said,"I really hate to tell you this, but your restroom is filthy."


So, the girls said they went in there and there was hair all over our sink. Someone actually shaved in our bathroom. We are a medical facility! And not only was there hair everywhere, but they had actually left the razor on the sink. With the hair on the sink and floor.


That is just disgusting. I feel bad for them, but come on! Seriously???


People just don't care anymore and seem to have no respect. It's gross!!

Anyways, on another note.....I just watched the latest True Blood. OMG. I love Eric. I really, really, really love him! I want him and Sookie to hook up so bad!!


I made me a picture of me and Eric together....


Enjoy!


I know I will.............

Eric Northman

Meet my new love of True Blood. Eric. O. M. G. I just finished Season 1 and Season 2 of True Blood. Yes, I love Jason Stackhouse. He's dumb, he's hot. But, Eric....Ohhhh, Eric. So sneaky, so manipulative, so freaking hot.

I love getting addicted to new shows! I love new loves of new shows!!!

First I loved Sam for Sookie. Leah said,"No, just wait until Eric." Then I loved Bill for Sookie. And Leah said,"No, just wait until Eric." I loved Jason Stackhouse. Leah said,"No, just wait until Eric." So, I finally got to Eric. He was cold, unemotional, seemed to love nothing and no one but himself. And then you get to know the soft side of Eric. Ohhh, he's still manipulative and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. But he has a bit of a heart....even if it's not beating. :)

My favorite line so far........When Sookie and Eric are looking for Eric's maker who they believe has been kidnapped.....

Sookie..."He was your maker, wasn't he?"

Eric..."Don't use words you don't understand."

Sookie..."You had a lot of love for him."

Eric..."Don't use words I don't understand."

Ohhh, Eric. I.Love.You.

I'm excited I finished the two seasons. But now I'm sad that I have to wait each Sunday for the new episodes. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! It's madness.

New Obsession

When you came in,

the air went out.

And every shadow

filled up with doubt.

I don't know who you think you are,
but before the night is through.....

I wanna do bad things with you.

Ohhhhh, True Blood.

Ok, so my sister finally got me watching True Blood. And I love it. My new crush is Jason Stackhouse. He's a filthy, dirty, sex fiend. And he's freaking hot. haha.

I'm just on the first season, but it is sooooo good!! Leah has Season 1 and Season 2 on dvd, and I'm recording Season 3. So I can just watch it straight through. :) Good stuff.

Empty glass, last cigarette.....

I told myself that I would quit smoking when I returned home from our trip to Chicago. Here it is, two weeks later....and I'm still smoking. :(
I came home from BWW last night, smelling like smoke. My throat hurting from smoking and talking over all the loud people there. I came in, sat at my computer to play Spider Solitaire [I play it every night before I got to bed, it makes me sleepy:)], and lit my last cigarette out of my pack. And I thought, is there anything good that comes out of smoking? I smell like smoke, I waste a ton of money, I will get wrinkles faster, look older, possibly get lung cancer, mouth cancer, along with many other medical problems that come from smoking. Plus pass on the second hand smoke to my children!
So, I smoked that last cigarette out of my pack. And as of right now, the next day at 5:26 p.m., it was still my last cigarette.
Quitting is so hard. I've done it many times! Once for about 5 years. The last time for about 3 months. But meeting up with friends for a beer, makes me want to have one. In order to take breaks at work, you pretty much have to smoke. I enjoy my smoke breaks with my co worker. And if I were to take breaks with her after quitting, would I be able to resist smoking a cigarette?? Driving to work, I always smoke. Driving home from work, I always smoke. Sitting at my computer, playing Solitaire before bed, I always smoke.
I know it's only been about 16 hours since my last cigarette, but seriously, everywhere I look I see it. Everytime I turn on the tv, someone has a cigarette hanging out of their mouth. Driving my nephew home today, every person I passed had a cigarette hanging out of their mouth.
It's not an attractive thing to see. I've always thought that. When I see people driving with their window cracked, smoke coming out. But seeing it, still makes me want to do it.
I'll probably smoke a cigarette tonight, when I meet up with my friends. I'm going back and forth in my head,"You don't have to!" "But you want to." "You need to quit!" "You don't have to today, though." Oh little angel on my shoulder.....oh, little devil on the other.....we shall see.
We shall see. Am I ready to quit? Hmmmm, we.shall.see.

Back to life. Back to re.al.it.y.

Oh, it was so nice to go to Chicago. It was a much needed vacation.
Of course, upon arriving home, Marianne finds out her poor husband is in the hospital (he's ok now). She has to go straight to the hospital to stay the night with him there.
Leah comes home to find out that the sewage was backed up in her backyard and her toilet overflowed. Jack loved it, of course. He flushes the toilet and says,"Oh look!! A waterfall!! A waterfall!" haha.
I came home to total perfectness. :) Nothing wrong here. That is, until I get in my car Thursday morning to drive to work. My key will not turn. The ignition is jacked. I try for 30 minutes straight to start my damn car and all I got out of that was a blister on my finger.
So, my dad calls around to see how much it's going to be to get fixed. He calls me back. It's going to be $170, that's for the parts and labor. I'm like....awesome! I thought it would be way worse!

My sister gives me a ride to work Thursday morning. My bff picks me up from work.
My bff gives me a ride to work Friday morning. My sister picks me up. It sucks not having a car.
Leah lets me borrow her car some during the weekend. Then gives it to me Sunday night and I've had it since. I'm thinking how much it's going to suck giving her her Durango back when my car gets fixed. It was nice driving that nice car. :)
So, today my dad calls to tell me my car is ready. Oh, and by the way.....it's going to be $330. Whaaaaat??? That's like double what they quoted!!!
Is it just me, or does anyone else think they should've called and told me it was going to be more before proceeding?? Ridiculous.
Hello, single mom here. Luckily, my dad had given me $100 to put towards the amount due. And my awesome sister was sweet enough to pay the difference until I can pay her back.
What would I do without my family? My sister is the best. Letting me borrow her car for almost a whole week, lending me the money, being there for me to comfort me when I'm crying in her car over the whole ordeal. haha.
I'm such a baby.
Thank God for sisters and bffs. :)
But my crappy car is home now. All is well.

If he brings you to it, he'll bring you through it.
