THE TRUTH

Majority of my posts consist of rants and stories about my customers. Some of my readers have informed that I am lacking some information that may or may not be critical. To me, it was a slap in the face only because the person giving me constructive criticism, was right and I should have known what he told me right from the start. What did this reader tell me? I have yet to write one good thing about my job. He is right. I went back to read a couple of posts and I come out to be (in my opinion) this angry type of person that doesn't like to be bothered. Truth is, I don't like to be bothered by people's stupidity but hey, it comes with the job; however, there are many other things that come with the job as well.

Well, for one I love the fact that my laundromat is diverse. It is diverse in the sense that I have so many different cultures coming as well as personalities. It is hard to keep up with majority of the people and know who is who, but the nice ones and the ones that I actually have convos with stick out the most. I love the fact that I can do whatever I want in the laundromat because I am trusted. It feels as if I have a job but with the freedom to do as I please. Rarely do I get in trouble and when I do, I shrug it off and go on my merry way. Is it because I know I won't get fired? Nope. It's because I have the balls to tell someone "NO" or "Stop that" and even "Get the fuck out now". Believe it or not, I have met a couple of friends through the laundromat and they are great. We would do a "happy" hour for me after my shift was over at the local bar and play Guitar Hero/Band. Even though majority of my posts are negative, they are for a reason. This is my daily life at the moment and I truly believe that at the end of the day, we can all relate to my story one way or another.

On a side note, a van stopped across the street to collect a mattress. This dude has FOURTEEN mattresses strapped to the roof of the van. People, that's how bed bugs get spread. Make sure you destroy the mattress before you set it out on the sidewalk. People DO pick them up. -sigh-
