Very Important Question™: do you think Quinn asked Cassius and Roque to kiss like maybe once or twice?

...and at some point

When you least expect it, they will cross your mind.  You’ll think of them.  Not in a wanting or a caring manner, not from a place of love or even hate…

…but, a place of Freedom.  Of gratitude.

You have finally moved on, finally let go. Rebuilt yourself, found your strength, and used it to close the door heavy with memories of your past.  Promise yourself to move only forward.  Promise yourself to stop looking back.

Don't Let Miserable Pricks Steal Your Joy...

Here we are again…I know…it’s been a little while, forgive me.  I have been busy doing that whole questioning life and my existence and what it all really means.  I thought I knew what the meaning of life was, I had a simple concept, nothing crazy.  Just to better yourself by bettering others…life is weird though.  Let’s set the scene, shall we?

Like a good chunk of people who walk the Earth, I work in the hospitality industry…I feel it is a good fit for the type of person I am.  I love working with people, I like to make people happy, and I like for people to enjoy their experiences.  Some people, those I like to call miserable pricks make the job difficult at times. 

Picture it…lobby of an upscale restaurant… No problems, smooth night, people smiling, laughing, having a grand old time. Until…

Here she comes…a miserable, crotchety, looking for someone to take her misery out on, we’ll call her Linda. (not her real name).  Linda has decided she is already mad at the world because she can’t sit in a specific area that has been rented out for a company Christmas party.  Linda does not have a reservation, a party of 5 needing a highchair…she gives me a little bit of attitude when I explain the area is closed for a private party, I then proceed to offer an outside table in a different area of the restaurant.  Linda does not want this, so I send her party to a table, Linda is not happy with this table. (Using her name a lot, because Linda seemed to be very full of herself).

She asks to sit in a room set with 6 rows of 4 top tables…I explain to her that I can not place a highchair in between the tables as it is a fire hazard (my understanding), I offer to pull the two 4 tops together (which I am not a fan of doing, because it is kind of a smack in the face to the server)…Linda does not want “such a large table for a small party” and proceeds to push the highchair going in between these tables.  I offer another table in a room with a panoramic view of the outside…nope, not having it. I then offer a table in an area with the same view she would get in the room she is demanding, only there isn’t a table next to it, and the highchair could sit in harmony.  Linda is not happy.  Go figure.

Linda grabs a manager’s card, asks my name, calls me a “fucking ridiculous asshole” and makes her way out the door of the restaurant dragging her 2 children…what a wonderful delight of a mother. 🙄

The point of my post is for a moment, I actually felt like an asshole, I had failed to make this woman happy…but, then I realized it was out of my hands.  I couldn’t go against company policy, I offered 3 to 4 other (better) options, I did everything at could to make her happy, but this woman had already made the decision that she was going to argue everything that was offered and I then made the choice to not take it personally…she was taking an obvious bad time she was going through out on me.  It’s easy to brush off, but I just wanted to share my story and to lend the advice:

Don’t let miserable pricks steal your joy. 

Until next time…

Awkward Compliments

On today’s episode of #adventuresofcassiquinn, we’re going to share the story of how I was awkwardly approached in the less than five minutes I spent in Dunkin’ Donuts. 

So, I woke up slightly early (for me…it was 1 in the afternoon), to get the bags of sheets and plastic wrap from the bed my Puddin’ (the most amazing man I have ever met) helped me put together after helping me take my other one apart over the weekend…I decided to do an On-the-go order at my Dunkin’ Donuts because it is a pretty popular one and always has a long line.  Who doesn’t want to run on Dunkin’? Order is in, I’m a sweaty, probably smelly mess from moving the heavy bags and cardboard (down stairs at that)…in track pants and an oversized t-shirt. I run in, grab my just finished order, turn around to grab a straw, and I hear:

“Excuse me, can I ask you a question?”

Me: “Um, sure.” I only said yes because I live in a pretty high touristy area and people need directions a lot of the time…

“Is your butt fake?”

Me: “Um, excuse me?” 

"Your butt, is it fake?”

😒 “Nope. My butt is all natural.”

"Do you do anything to make it look like that?” 

"Not sure what you mean…looks like a normal butt to me. I’m pretty active, but no, I don’t do anything specific to make my butt look like this. Enjoy your Donuts and coffee.”

And, I left…as I was getting into my car, same person walks by and yells “It’s a great butt by the way.  Hope you weren’t offended.”  I just give a half hearted wave and smile.  People are weird. 

I am very awkward when  it comes to compliments, but what has happened in the world that people can’t just give a compliment?  Lately there is always something that goes along with it…

Until next time…

Odd Things My Roommates Do...

Came home to the kitchen sink full of ice, I ask my roommate who is sitting on the couch what happened to it.

Roommate: "It expired."

Me: 🤔

Who is this kid? The little girl from Signs?

Hey Instafam! Haha, see what I totally just did there?! So, I have had people telling me that I should set up a blog about the crazy everyday life of...well, me...You guys are just too sweet! So, I did. I actually went a step further and set up 2 blogs! Because I'm that person, 😁. The links are below and as a bonus, I added a picture of Young Groot because he is just the cutest and I couldn't really think of what to put as a pic. adventuresofcassiquinn.tumblr.com adventuresofcassiquinn.wordpress.com #adventuresofcassiquinn #cassiquinn #whyicanttakemyselfanywhere #readaboutme #yesitismyreallife #blog #blogstagram
