Yes I said Merry Christmas and not Happy Holidays. Deal with it.
Ugh! I went to the Tacoma Dome/Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center Christmas party, which was more like a party for the head guys to pat each other on the back then a multi-faculty Christmas party (Blah, blah, yes you are all the shit). It had everything you would expect to be at some rich business party (Waiters, Rich people food and full dinner place settings.) I stayed long enough to eat; talked to some people from work; found out I didn't win anything in the raffle and then I bailed. Maybe next year I should wear a suit and tie so I can fit in.
Any freaking way,

I am finally done with all the high school events for this month. Well that pretty much covers how it went (also known as slow, boring, cold and annoying). The only good part of the night was after work a couple of us went to The Strap and stayed until the place closed.
Wednesday is the Tacoma Dome Christmas party being held at the new Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center. Lastly, I have to work the Mega-Liquidation sale at the end of the week. This show is slow and most the stuff is either broke, ghetto or sold out in like three seconds. the only good thing is it is the last event of the year (YAY!!)

My Favorite statement of the week "It is snowing like it is winter", (Umm... isn't it winter?)
For
about the last month I have been addicted to Magic Online and Grand
Theft Auto: The Trilogy, so it is good that there isn't much going on
at work (but it also means the paycheck sucks).
Thanksgiving
was quiet, just chilled at home. I almost did the Black Friday early
morning shopping spree to grab a cheap laptop, but at the last minute I
came to my senses (Wow, I am glad I did.)
Last week and this week is High School football, which isn't totally a bad thing it is basically the fact that of the people who come to these event are the *cough*"Cool"*cough* people who think that they are the greatest thing in life and think everyone needs to know that.
Anyway,

Yes, I know it has been a little while (oh come on your not really surprised). So since I posted lasted I have worked two country concerts, a gemfaire and a baseball card/coin show. The first concert was a Firefighters Concert (you know, they call and ask for money and in return you get tickets to this) starring Joe Diffie ( Don't worry I got no idea who he is either). The worst part is this event always brings out the dumbest people ( I am not kidding, I was standing in front of the Tacoma Dome and someone asked me where it was).
Then there is the Gem Faire whose customer base is a cross between Cheap Hippies and Housewives (who all think I care about their thoughts on parking prices and how evil it is to be charging them. Of course the fact that I at sitting in a booth outside with no heat or power seems to totally elude their common sense, which should be alerting them to the fact of I CAN"T DO SHIT ABOUT ANY PRICE THEY HAVE TO PAY).
Next up was the Rascal Flatts concert (can anyone explain the extra T to me?) , who fan base seems to be a bunch of beer taste tester with self important issue (Because the "I'm too sexy for my 4x4" crowd was pretty much drunk before, during and after). Lucky me, though I work in the Premium Parking so I get to listen to everyone try to stuck their way in for free (Story of the Night: Chick drives in and tries to pretend she just lost her parking pass, after pretty much shutting her down she then tries to fake turning around and she parks and starts walking away from her car. I just simply grab my cell and said "I'm going to have you towed", she ran to her car so fast I couldn't help but laugh. As she left she called me an asshole and flipped me off. HOW RUDE!)
Finally there was the Baseball card/Coin show. The way these people act you would think they were carrying millions of dollars in merchandise (just a little tip: The 90's called they want their hobby back). Honestly, barely anyone shows up for this show so there isnt much to say about.
So now you are all caught up!!

My long week of working the Dome is finally over. My week started by selling parking passes to the vendors for the first two days. (Which always results in whining and moans about how they just spent 3,000 dollars on their little 8x8 booth square and they shouldn't pay for parking). The next five days were spent outside in the lot setting up the parking lots, parking cars, taking money from customers (man, it is so hard to be nice and polite to complete assholes and self-rightous people) and training new employees. (This job is basically everything your parents told you not to do: Don't play in traffic, don't talk to strangers, don't play in the rain and etc., etc., etc.). The show in general has been better in previous years. (Better food, more booths, more customers and certainly nicer vendors.) Sunday was the worst day, evryone is tired and it seemed like every customer was pissed about something. (Price of parking,ticket price, parking availablity and the weather; fucking rain). It was the last day though, so you can't complain to much.

Ugh, I have survived a week of the RV Show, it wouldn't be bad except that the customer base is made up of two types of people. The first type are old white men drives their diesel truck/Cadillac (basic gas hogs) coming to buy a over priced item and then bitches about 6 dollar parking (Can you explain the logic in that). The second type are the people who assume that anyone who works in a parking lot can't count, so they need to tell you how much they are giving you and how much chance you need to give them. (sheesh, because I didn't learn basic math in the SECOND GRADE!) Of course then there is the people who actually work the show. (They all think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but in reality they is just one step above a used car sells man.)
So I got about four days off and I got no idea what I will be doing either.
I will keep you up to date.

So I have been back for about a little over a week now and I thought I should catch ya up.
The first half of my plane ride wasn't to bad, except for being smash by being in a seat to small. (Can anyone explain to me how most of America can be overweight, yet everything seems to be made to fit short, skinny people.) So my plane lands in Houston during the time when everyone is trying to leave because of Hurricane Rita. The Plane was packed and the ride went on for FUCKING EVER! There was a movie and some t.v. show playing but you had to buy their $1 pair of headphones for 5, so I didn't get to hear what was going on. I got in about 11:15, came home and passed out.
I have worked for most the time I have been back spend three days working an Antique show and last Monday I worked a Green Day concert, all was pretty quiet though.

Ok, maybe I am the only one who finds this creepy. I was reading a magazine and I got to a pictorial of a woman (I think it was Kelly Monaco, who may I say is HOT!). I noticed she had no nipples, they had been airbrushed away (It just looks freaky, because with the clothes she is wearing you should see nipples not just skin).
So what is the point in taking pics of women in these clothes if you are just going to airbrush away anything that shows through?? Seeing what is under the clothes is kind of the point isn't it?
