SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY CALI PEEPS!!!
I got a message from an OG...I know my Cali folks know about that acronym...
ORIGINAL GANGSTA!!!
Tawn Tawn!!!!
She told me that she was shouting out Aggieland at work and 1481.68 miles away my blog got recognized!!!
A team member told her..."Wait...Aggieland...does your old manager have a blog?"
In the words of Fogell...

You Missed the Point
People have different styles of communicating.
I would say that I am a get to the point kind of person. If you ask my sister I feel comfortable with people before I meet them...so it makes communicating easier.
I used to have a room mate that would write notes.
Different strokes for different folks. I guess if the point is received then all is well.
Even the best communicator can deliver a great message, but the recipient just doesn't get it...I will give you some examples...
First we will go with the straight shooter method.
I had an employee attempt to call in yesterday.
She used the correct verbiage...she told us she had been vomiting all day.
Because she is not one of our know drunkards we didn't think anything of it...oh...and the fact that she told me that she was "not bullshitting...she really felt bad."
Bullshitting = I had way to much to drink last night and am still hungover
Unfortunately she had already called in too many times for our liking and knew that she was puking on thin ice.
We made her come up to the restaurant and then sent her home. This way it was on our accord and not hers. Because of how she worded it she would have been at risk of getting other sick.
Soooooooooo
This was the Saturday of Chilifest Weekend...and EVERYONE was hungover.
EVERYONE
When everyone noticed that they were working a little harder than they should have...they asked why...the answer was that we were running one short...and then the laundry got aired.
She had been out drinking with her coworkers until late...and they were all here.
The chick who had to cover for her is the one who drove her home the night before.
(She was not the spot blower)
So today I confronted Miss Castillo about the rumors...
"word on the street is that you were out drinking with your peeps last night and couldn't handle your hangover...and that was why you weren't at work."
Blah blah blah....Blah blah blah
(I have heard it so many times that this is all I hear)
She continued to speak...and comforted herself by saying, "but you guys sent me home because I was throwing up..."
SHE MISSED THE POINT
So I put it in plainer English...
"If I knew it was a hangover I would have told you to suck it up...and be more responsible about planning your partying...but more over...suck it up"
So the next form of communication sort of speaks for itself.
I was in the middle of the above conversation when Mr. Whatthehelldidyousay showed me this...
The note is pretty self explanatory, but the message was totally lost in the fact that the girl writing it was a total bitch. I mean really...you are going to take the time to write out this bullshit...and expect the person reading it to give a SHIT what you think, Good luck!!
The point of this was totally missed.
I mean in all reality...his service could have sucked.
He could be a horrible server, but you lost credibility with this bitch move!!!
And the best part is yet to come....
What she probably missed in her attempt to better Whatthehelldidyousay was that HER NAME IS ON THE CREDIT CARD RECEIPT...her FULL name!!!
I bet this dumb bitch gets a few random friend requests of facebook...
This is what you call a paper trail...NEVER LEAVE ONE!!!
That was a point that this Biatch missed!!!
