The Poke-athon - Disney style

Post by BirdMom » Tue Oct 03, 2006 5:56 pm

So, I'm starting this so that there is an everyday place to do a short sweet vent on something that happens to you, maybe online, maybe at work. Here's the idea - you're giving a metaphorical poke with a cosmic/karmic pitchfork of doom to whatever and whoever it is that is getting to you at the moment...

So without further ado, I hereby inaugurate the pokes by imagining one in the posterior of a certain know-it-all who is poking her nose where it doesn't belong because she never worked there in the first place. Wherever you are, you are annoying and redundant. Don't bother doing the search when first-hand experience or information is what is required...

More pokes to road construction - enough already! I am sick to death of detouring to get where I need to be!!!

Rats,I thought was going to be one of those,"Who got laid"? at D/L threads.I will agree though detours SUCK.IMHO,they will NEVER finish any road work in Cali. Last time we were there,I thought to myself (no it didn't hurt) "If you build it, it will be congested". :cool:

Can we poke not parks relate matters such as teenagers whining because I am mean for not allowing them to post r-rated stuff on a g-rated site then say they are going to move to a nicer site but that site is tougher than mine.

I got a long list so hold on and heat of the poker.

Brent for banning me from his site and then begging me to divulge the secrets of another site owner. He never even thanked me for dragging him from he irate hotel security guard who was about to put him in jail.

Nick who banned me from chat and now sent me gifts in ToonTown and is my friend there.

the dude at the pharmacy who talked down to me and treated me like an idiot.

The head of Disneyland need a big poke for the way I was treated by them mean pin traders who stole from everyone including the park.

The people who smoked in the waiting area for the Monkees concert at DCA.

People who do not devein shrimp.

People who stand there and have to have the entire menu explained to them. I want the usual hamburger, grilled onions, fries, salad no croutons and iced tea. why do they have to know what salad dressing, soup, bread, options, on and on.

And next last of all is the people who drive in Sourthern California. I got a lot of poking to do there.

Last and gentle poke to Zazu just for the fun of it.

Ugh, if I start on this I may keep coming back and poking folks until they're dead but here goes:

my GM for never being here on time and who expects the rest of the f'ers to.
my staff for treating work like their personal lounge.
all the stupid guests who ask me the same q's my entire shift.
the idiots who are withholding my raise.
the boneheads who thought a Disney marathon was a good idea.
narrow-minded fools who take one look at my regular attire and ask me if I worship Satan.
Disney (again) for raising their prices and leaving us poor saps to listen to guests bitch about how expensive it is.
Whoever schedules an Angels game and a concert at the Grove or Arrowhead Pond the same night.
Every teenager (or half-wit) who registers on a forum board to spam or just be totally obnoxious and never on subject and then get pissed off when spoken to or banned by Mods.

ARRGH! I have more but someone else needs the space. Thank you for that.
:goes back to her decorating: Ooh, pumpkins are pretty!

I hereby poke the people that thought Meal vouchers were a great idea. I also poke the people that thought corny puns in the "Pumpkin Contest" would make great entertainment -Example -Pumpkin Pi. I told her my own corny joke later before I walked offstage :D , What is a Ghost's favorite pie? She goes Boosenberry and I told her it was Booberry.

People who want to return a CD, Movie, or game after it's been opened because they didn't like it.

Extra poke for the idiots who get pissy when I tell them no!


"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Ok girl you can stop poking this stupid guest.

Today's poke is to the hacker or whom ever is responsible for a site losing everything for the month of October including members, threads, and PMs.

I'd like to offer two pokes:

One to whomever turned off my network access at Disney and refuses to turn it on, even after my managment has directed them to do so.

And another to my managment who scheduled me to open all by myself when I didn't have network access and couldn't get into any of the computers -- on a day when there was no manager on duty at opening.

Pokes to the Dean of the College for deciding that our (not quite ready) troupe of players can do a scene from the play they've been rehearsing for the student body at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. We haven't finished the damn costumes yet, so there is an all-nighter going on in the costume shop. I have had 4 hours sleep and I guarantee you, those seams and hems are going to be mighty crooked when all is said and done...

Oh yeah - opening night was supposed to be a week from Friday...so much for sticking to deadlines. :mad:
