Horror Stories, Chicken Rice and Humans.

Can you watch horror/supernatural flicks on tv or at the movies? 

I can't.. or rather I won't..

I've actually never watched a horror film (I think) Unless you count Psycho and The Shining which I was forced to watch in Uni for Film and Television... Hated every minute of it!!! 

Imagine needing to do research on them after that.. gave me nightmares for a good week or so.. 

I know many people who love horror films.. and then have trouble sleeping for the next month.. and going to the toilet requires a whole bus load of followers "just in case"

Why? Why do people do that to themselves? Then start sleeping with the lights on, and paying double their electricity bill?!!!

Is it the thrill of getting scared? Kesian your heart wei....

Anyway, this morning I decided to go tapau  some chicken rice for the kids and also The Husband.. There was this lady before me who wanted 3 packs.. BUT!! 

"3 packs, separate the rice, the cucumber and the chicken.. oh the chap also separate ya"

Okay.. weird but fine.. I guess...

When the seller asked me my order, this woman proceeded to say  "Oh add 1 more pack, but put the chap on the rice separate the chicken and don't want cucumber"

My face went from Oh you crazy woman to WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??!! in 0.2 seconds.

The seller noticed the change in my face and told her "This one considered another order you wait for your turn"

THANK GOD!!
If not we would all be there till probably 10am waiting for her to complete her weird orders and requests.

Then another lady comes in and says "Chicken rice 1 pack, no skin, no bones"

I looked at her and in my head I was screaming "WHY YOU SO WEIRD?! WHO DOESN'T WANT CHICKEN SKIN???!!!"

My cousins would have had a heart attack hearing her say that.

No skin? Damn. We LIVE for chicken skin.

I have come to realize that humans are becoming weird obnoxious creatures. Gone are the days when people order 3 packs of chicken rice, take it as it is, and go home. 

Now? separate this, separate that, don't want this, don't want that. 

Are we misusing our buying power by making the sellers lives difficult? 

I think we are. 

Come on, I mean you know there will be a mad morning rush, people want to get their breakfast, or lunches packed and head on to work but it's people like these who kinda hold up and waste everyone's time.

Sigh, humans.

Then there's the FACT that every company has at least 1 idiot, and if another one joins them they then form a union of stupidity.

The Husband has had his fair share of idiots around him.. Cousins too.. And have you realized that every time there is an idiot in your office.. it tends to be your boss?

I'm lucky in a sense that when I was working, I had just one bloody irritating boss that thought he could get away with being a prick. He clearly hadn't met a Mackenzie. He bossed everyone around and after a week, I told him to keep his job as it was not worth giving up my soul for something that might have been a success for me, but having a boss like him just didn't seem like anything I wanted to do for a long time.. so 5 days was all it took for me to up and quit.

People may say, oh at least you had a job... to me, I can't possibly do something I hate. I would only end up hating myself and having to drag myself out of bed for a shit job with a shit boss, which included teaching children... not a good idea.

That was the one job I did not have any regrets leaving.. so much so that when I quit and left the building, I was smiling and did karaoke in my car.

The relief I felt was beyond any emotion I've ever experienced. 

Although a week later, I had to go back to that building to collect my cheque.. and of course, being a Mackenzie, I gave my former boss the Death Stare from Hell. He shrunk and retreated back to his office.. I swore to myself that morning before leaving home that if he uttered a single smarty pants comment at me I would give him a pow wow so bad just to let him know he doesn't own everyone working for him.

Thinking about it, I can't even remember the name of that place anymore. That's how insignificant it was to me.

These days however, it's harder for jobs to come by... and like I tell The Husband.. you've got to rough it out till something else comes along....

It may take a toll on your mental and emotional state, and you can talk to me about it.. but in all honesty, I don't help much.. as when he tells me what's happening in the office, the crazy Asian side of me gets flicked on and I get all violent.
Need-To-Punch-Something or Smash-Their-Stupid- Face kinda crazy.

To all those who are in a job they hate.. Keep sending out applications!! You may never know when luck decides to strike.. and if you don't throw yourself out there, how do you expect to be found?

Alrighty then, think that's enough rambling for today..

Take care!
