Hey Guys, Kick Me a Phat Beat.

Greetings and Salutations....
I had a extremely entertaining weekend. Before I get into it however I feel it necessary to explain that I have an appreciation for some of the seemingly random things in life. Some random things and some funny things occured this weekend.
Late Saturday afternoon Brett and I packed up his truck and headed into Portage to see Terrin and her band that was playing there. They were very good!
Funny occurance #1- How Terrin introduces me to her bandmates. "This is Becca, she is scary". Ah, I always feel so appreciated!
After their practice Saturday night we hung at Gail's and had an amazing supper and played games.
Random thought #1- Why would 6 people opt to play a game that none of them have ever played before, and don't really know how to play in the first place?
The next morning the band played and were very good from what I heard, and then the new president of CPC spoke.
Random Thought #2- If a speaker is going to open up the service with how much he misses the kids in the band while he's gone, he may want to learn their names...
After church I managed to eat my entire luch with chopsticks! I slopped some due to the Daley clumsy gene, but I think I did pretty good.
Funny Occurance #2- A Chinese Cafe called Dick's Cafe! that just seems odd somehow...
After lunch Becca and Brett's Winnipeg Adventure began...
Funny Occurance #3- We got lost on our way to Portage Place, I am so useless in that city!
Random Occurance #3- We randomly ran into Brodie and Karyn at Portage Place (after we eventually found it).
At Calvary Temple we watched the band again, and Terrin got embarrassed by the pastor being in awe of her drumming skills. Good times.
Final Funny Occurance... After Brett dropped me off his truck not only ran out of gas a block from my house, but he also locked his keys in it! So we were cruising in my heap of a car in search of keys and gas at one in the morning!
A perfect ending to a very fun weekend! I hope you all had as much fun on your weekend as I did (but I doubt it, teehee)
'Til next time...

No You Shutup Please!

This post is for anyone who has ever worked in the customer service biz. And for those of you reading this who have never worked in some sort of customer service maybe you should take some notes so you know what NOT to do next time you walk into a store. I've been working in the service industry in one form or another for almost 4 years. In those 4 years I have learned one very important thing... people, in general, are stupid creatures! It's true! (now if some of you take offence to this, it's probably because you are one of those idiotic people I complain about, so instead of being insulted, pull your head out of your rear end and continue reading!!!) For the most part when people need assisstance with something at work I am more than willing to help, I mean that is what I'm there for, however, if you insist on calling me over to help you with a whistle, snap, or calling me "girl", you will be lucky if I don't pull out my utility knife and cut you! I am not a dog, I don't respond to whistles or snaps, and my name is not "girl", it's Rebecca, and it is clearly printed on the name tag that I detest wearing.
Now I also understand that it is hard to find a babysitter every time you go shopping, I really do, but if you insist on bringing your children out into public keep them under control! Don't let them run around screaming, if they have to go to the bathroom, find them a bathroom so they don't urinate on the floor (oh, it's happened). The best however is when the kids are behind your counter messing around with your til and scanner and the incompetent mother is standing right there watching, yet doing nothing. Oh wait it get's better, and when you try to stop the child, she yells at you!!!!! Now if this happens you will be lucky if I don't throw you and your hellion child into the dumpster behind the store. (also known as the customer complaint office)
And finally (my personal favourite) if it is 3 or 4 minutes before a store is about to close, don't come into a clothing store and start trying things on, and don't come into a video store and ask for a new membership. The people that work at these places, DO HAVE LIVES outside the store!!! Just because you only see them at work doesn't mean they live there and love being there 24-7. Do you sleep on your desk at work? No? I didn't think so. We are people too, and we probably have plans to go out with friends or sleep or study after work, so don't keep us at work longer than we have to be.
Now if you realize that you are one of these ridiculously stupid people, I beg you, change your ways before you end up in a dark back alley with utility knife cuts and smelling like garbage.
Well, til next time!

This is an old pic of me, hope to find an updated one soon. This was taken at Terrin's old apartment, the one practically next door to Brett, back when they would flirt shamelessly and never admit that they liked each other.

The Tree, The Whole Tree, and Nothing But The Tree...

of evil that is.
That's what my friends call me anyways. You see it started as a quote from my friend Kevin McAuley. For some reason (unbeknownst to me of course) he stated "Money used to be the root of all evil, now it's Becca". Who would've thought that it would stick? I sure didn't. Not only did it stick, but less than a year later it was upgraded... to the entire tree of evil. Apparently just being the root wasn't good enough, now I was the tree. And man did that ever stick!
So this being my first post I think it is necessary for anyone who intends to read my somewhat biased and opinionated thoughts that I post in the future, to understand my infamous reputation.
So much like Terrin, Brett, and Brodie I intend to use this site to publish my various rants, mostly I am doing this because my dear friend Terrin won't let it go, it's not like she'll read something here that she doesn't already know. She once called me extremely wise, I think she is full of it... But you can decide that for yourselves.
Til next time kids...
