SITUATION LOL
UM, so there's recently noticed development. jehh, just recently noticed, because i can't quite put a finger on when this all may have started. for a while now i've been talking about becoming a lady and fixing up my crazy ways. i maaaybe at one time in my life could be regarded as somewhat spontaneous. LOL JK LOL I WAS NEVER CALLED THAT, BUT OHHH, YOU KNOWWW. but relatively spontaneous as in, oh, you know that i'm sometimes weird, and will say stupid things, or as ian would put it, "ho, you jus say any kine sometimes ah, ms. sandra?"-- so yes. yes, ian. i do say any kine. not the mean kine any kine, but a grip of stupid things to make the minutes pass just a big faster. if you ask me, it's one of the best ways to live.
oh, but i digress.
and is this a thing of old age? or maturity?
(like, i know a number of the elderly population, who routinely go outside to pick a mayan lemon to squeeze on a halved papaya, slowly spooning away while taking intermitent sips of their black coffee.)
because i've noticed that i've become a creature of habit.
or maybe just that of comfort.
rarely yielding, putting a more grounded foot down on what is and what is not acceptable.
at times even taking charge q-_-p omingiah
it's a common trait of the youngest to force the issue in order to get their desired way.
but it's a better trait of the growing woman to yield when necessary, to keep your mouth shut when words will not help the situation, to remember that some things are better left undone and unsaid, to refrain from rehashing past incidents in order to keep the peace, and to keep in mind that SAYING you're going to be the bigger person in an argument will automatically deem you the loser in any situation, and is almost equal to announcing yourself the most humble.
i digress even further. just cause this blog was not at all about any of those things.
this blog was mostly to discuss my current situation with the routine i've set for myself.

hahaha, but what happens when a routinely seen worker has, on 3 consecutive occassions,
CALLED YOU BY THE WRONG NAME.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
DO YOU BREAK ROUTINE?
i refuse.
DO YOU FIND A DIFFERENT VENUE?
DO YOU CORRECT THE PERSON?oh, but it's r i g h t there, and with gas prices and....
DO YOU SEND A DELEGATE TO DO THE DIRTY WORK?well, it's a little late for that.
but really, who would?
and man, what a time to be lacking tact.
lolol, recall the FRIENDS episode, where Chandler was being called Toby by that character played by Chris Parnell? Chandler, failing to act fast, was relegated to the most awkward of positions, being forced to answer to an incorrect name.
well, the nicest jamba employee has called me both Sherry and Sharon, and on some days, a variation of the two. (and for those visiting, my name is SANDRA.)
lolol, well the other day, i pay by card, and a baby-convo is struck up with another employee (we'll call her employee B) over the AZ-ID i carry, with the whole blabhlahblah, oh i was in Surprise... oh, Scottsdale is kind of far, blahblahblah. I pray that the 3rd non-involved person making my acai cup (she'll be employee C) doesnt say my name out loud, and she doesnt. before i leave, the misinformed employee (original employee A) bids me farewell
the events are as followed:
A: BYEEEE SHARON
sandaronia: oh...um BYE!
B: hernamesnotsharon,itssandra
*pause*
*sharonerry slowly grabs a spoon*
A: NO ITS NOT HER NAME IS SHARON
*sherryonydera bolts*
*sandersherona dies inside*
so yeah, i didn't really BOLT, but i speed-walked out of there, not saying a word. i'm hoping that this is the last of the wrong names and that she'll correct herself, never again bringing up this incredibly awkward situation. im hoping that she doesnt ask why i didnt correct her. how was i to know that her schedule perfectly matched mine?
since this incident, ive been thinking up more lies to cover the truth i failed to tell.
like maybe if she says "oh why didnt you tell me that i was calling you by the wrong name,"
i'll say, "oh, i didnt notice,"
but then im the idiot with a hearing problem.
or maybe i'll say, "sharon? nah, it's a nickname, i think you heard my sister call me that once"
oh but CREPE, i refuse to be a sharon.
anyway, im an idiot and this was a whole bunch of crap.
OH, HOW DO YOU PRESERVE ONE'S DIGNITY?!
OH, WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE.....

my my my. that's a doozy. but things are easily fixed. you see, it's all about our culture i think. especially since we're the youngest girls. cuz usually for us, (i assume this is how you do too) if someone says the name wrong or something i'd much rather leave it be. Kinda just watch it all go by. are we lazy? maybe, or maybe its that we would willfully carry that burden of being called the wrong name instead of correcting someone.
BUT ANYWAYYS thats not the solution I was suggesting but rather the possible reasoning so that was TOTALLY unnecessary but ANYWEEESSSSS!!!!
Its up to you man. If you see her again hopefully she'll be cool n just laugh about it with you. And she might ask you why, but the truth is always the best, and there are a few ways you could go about it. I know you'll think of something! hahaha
s-s-seeee yaaa!
still love jews.
one time this girl at the warehouse started calling me phil.
she called me roy for 6 months, but for some reason she starts calling me 'phil'. so i answer her as if my name was phil. 1 year later, she's like, "I've been calling you 'phil' for about a year, and your name is roy. why did you never correct me?"
so i says, "i just thought you were calling me 'phil' cuz it's short for 'phil-ipino'."
don't you hate it when somebody tells you a true story, after which the storyteller says, "true
story!"
i will smack you....
ok...actually i will only wish to smack you.
