Cow Day 2012: Great Success

Posted on July 14, 2012 by purrrentice

When life hands you lemons, most people make lemonade. F*ck that. I make it rain lemonade and chicken! This is the best use of my time unemployed yet:

My fridge is never this full. Wow.

Unless you live under a rock…or haven’t known me for very long, you know that every year I celebrate Cow Appreciation Day. In the Osledge abode, this holiday is like Christmas and Halloween put together. On this magical day, if you dress like a cow “head to hoof,” you get a free combo at Chick-fil-a. Now, most normal people dress-up and visit their local Chickie for a single meal and post cute pics on Facebook. My herd, however, goes Chick-or-Treating. This means we hit as many locations as possible and store the delicious food for later consumption.

My Herd! Love my boys!

Since I’m jobless, this was the first year I was able to really take Cow Day seriously, like for realsies serious. In years past I had to be Business Cow-sual and work around a lame-ass job, but this year I am proud to say that my stampede had a need to feed and a moo-d for food! We hit a lucky 13 stores and obtained over three hundred dollars worth of food AND a sticker! We were also featured on two different FB pages! Woot!

I know a few of you are giving your screen the stank eye and saying “But Prentice, this is going to ruin your hard work with Insanity. For shame!” Wrong! I have dubbed all the fries and nuggets Hippy & Husband Kibble (Boys are expensive to feed. This was a bargain!). While they nom on chickie chunks, I have a bunch of Spicy Cool Wraps. I remove the excess bread and use hot sauce instead of dressing. Instead of fries, I eat half of one of those with healthy sides from home. Thanks for your concern though. I wanna get skinny!

Gotta Have More Gay Cowbell!

Another thing you may be wondering is “Prentice. You are a solid supporter of the LGBTQ community. How can you even go to Chick-fil-a? Ummm…I didn’t pay for anything. On top of that, I wore a homemade, gay pride cow bell to each store. It was both loud and proud. Don’t you think foraging three hundred dollars worth of free chicken whilst dinging and ringing around in a rainbow cow bell is hell of a fun and effective protest? Besides, Willam liked my idea on his fan page and is always down to Chow Down at Chick-fil-a:

So, the only reason you have to be hatin’ is you wish you had thought of this! Word!

Oh Yeah…I Almost Forgot This is a Writing Blog…

Posted on July 11, 2012 by purrrentice

Holy crap. It’s been over two months since I wrote a poem. I know I’ve written other things since then, but I also know that I’ve been slacking in the writing department lately. I guess I’ve been depressed since getting laid-off again. I’m not necessarily sad about it, but I have been stressed, a little lost and unmotivated. I’m pulling out of it little by little.

Today, I felt inspired to write the next poem in my archives! I already knew what I wanted it to be about. Recently, somebody who I no longer associate with tried to reach-out to me, and I couldn’t decide what to do. Being polite and reassuring this person that I’m fine and dandy was one option, and being a jerk and telling this person off was a more tempting one. In the end, I decided to not respond, so that person can just stew in silence and wonder if I forgive him/her and want to be friendly. Muahahaha. Anyways, I combined those feelings with this poetic form I made-up for a fridge poem back in February 2011. I even used the exact rhyming scheme from the original poem AND was more strict about the number of syllables per line. Yay me!

Ambiguity Confetti Grenade

Hostility has bred,
like Kudzu and no machete,
its roots sowed deep from being once betrayed,

A moment comes of dread,
an encounter when unready,
how will this awkward social scene be played?

So, silence is basically a passive aggressive party cannon of death! BOOOOM!

The high road’s just ahead,
to be kind, polite and steady,
but there’s no satisfaction in charades.

The urge to rage instead,
like a rabid, seething yeti,
will leave false joy that poisons you then fades.

Leave words they seek unsaid,
don’t assure, and don’t be petty,
Silence is deadlier than a grenade.

Let thoughts burst in their heads,
ambiguity confetti,
blockades the truth and slices like a blade.

Dame Dodging: Yeah, Lady. I Know What Ya Doin’!

Posted on July 3, 2012 by purrrentice

One of my Freelance Prentice services/skills is promotional work (sales model, promo model, brand ambassador, booth babe, etc). Some people may find the idea of approaching strangers and talking to them while scantily clad in a short skirt and branded camisole unappealing or intimidating, but I love it. I’ve worked all kinds of venues, from bars to concerts to liquor stores to drug stores to festivals to strip clubs. It’s fun.

Oftentimes when I work at a store, I run into employees who ask “How can you deal with ‘no’ so easily? That would make me feel awful.” Well, I just don’t take it personally. As a matter of fact, I am amused by how far people will go to avoid me, especially when I’m toward the front of the store. It reminds me of how I avoid Girl Scouts during cookie season! It cracks me-up, so I will share the most popular ways I’ve seen people Dame Dodge:

The Aisle Dodge
“Oh shit. It’s one of those girls,” some huffy, cranky sow seethes to herself. She scowls and immediately turns her cart into the first aisle possible, even though there is nothing on that row that she needs or wants. To Aisle Dodgers, it seems worth while to circle the store in the most time consuming, inefficient way possible just to get past that promo gal and her kind words and swag and coupons. “I showed that hussy,” thinks the jerk who just turned a five minute errand into half an hour.

Deliberate Refusal to Make Eye Contact
“Oh gosh, there’s one of those coupon ladies,” some shy lady panics as she makes eye contact with me for a nano second. “Maybe if don’t I look at her, she won’t notice me. Look straight ahead…oh golly…lower your eyes to the ground…I think I can still see her in my peripheral vision…ouch!” She accidentally trips because she wasn’t watching where she was going.  And yes, I always see you, even if you try to use lack of eye contact to become invisible.

Fake Cell Phone Call
I highly doubt so many people suddenly get a phone call the moment they step in the door and see me. Don’t worry, bro. I won’t tell anybody that you’re chatting with your imaginary friend via cell. You might want to see a doctor about that though…

Sneaking By
“Oh no,” says a gentleman who only wants to buy a single, pint of cheap whiskey. “I don’t have time to listen to that beer chick…Ooh!” He exclaims as a couple of women are ensnared in my marketing trap. “This is my chance!” He tiptoes around the conversation and darts to the mini bottles.

Sneak a Peek From Afar
Moneybags McCheaperson wants to know what I have to offer without talking to me. Understandable. So this person will go into creeper mode and Pedobear my table, peeking from afar. If the swag, samples or coupons look worthwhile, McCheaperson will come out of hiding and approach me, usually from behind a display, and say “Hey little girl. What do you have for me?” Creepy.

GET YO ASS OVER HERE AND BUY MY BOOZE…THEN I’MMA EAT YOUR BRAINZZZ!

Run Away
This is a smart move. The average, power walker will likely be faster than a girl in stilettos who is stuck behind a table, so unless I decide to jump my station hurdle-style and sprint toward customers like a zombie stripper, this is a solid choice. Kudos.

Be a Dick
Honesty is the best policy, and being mean just makes it all the more satisfying and effective. This is the Dame Dodger that makes cashiers cringe and ask the question at the top of this post. Some customers can be honest without being dicks (“I’m sorry, Sweetie, but I’m in a hurry,” or “Not today, thanks.”), but lots of these people snap, bark, growl and give the stank eye. I honestly don’t mind because A) It saves my breath, and B) It makes other customers feel sorry for me.

Receptionist Ass, Meet Insanoflex!

Posted on June 18, 2012 by purrrentice

Spoiler Alert: This is my formal announcement that I’m back to the occupational drawing board. Yes, I was laid off again. If you’d like to hear the whole story, buy me a beer. Otherwise, let’s move on to something more interesting: The Prentass.

Being a 4’10” tall girl who has subjected herself to the beauty, acting and sales modeling industries, I have body image issues. Add on fifteen pounds from two desk jobs, and it skyrockets to my current state. Now before you start bombarding me with “Prentice, you’re not fat,” “You look great the way you are,” and the ever-so-popular “But Prentice, you’re so little,” I know I’m not fat, but I’m at my highest weight ever; and I wanna be thevery best, like no one ever was. I need to get my groove back, get some confidence, enjoy looking in the mirror again. I need to cleanse myself of the dirty, receptionist inside me, like an exorcism, and I feel the best way for me to let go, move on and return to normal is to finally lose that weight: The Receptionist Ass. After months of regular workouts and such, I’ve had little luck, so…

Receptionist Ass, Meet Insanoflex!

I felt pretty defeated before the Insanoflex, but then I realized Rome wasn’t built in a day; my weight gain was built over three years; and therefore it would either take more time or more effort to lose those pounds. I decided to upgrade my workout routine to the Insanity Beach Body program. I’m on week three, and so far it’s been…well…insane, hence the reference to the Insanoflex. It’s a real-life Insanoflex with hardcore cardio, and it really pushes me. I sweat buckets and look like death on a cracker afterwards. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? I also started a new promo job with Cayrum the same week I started this program (It’s great stuff. You should buy it and drink it and buy some more!), and I can’t wait to see the differences week-to-week in my photos.

So far so good. Look at my buff freakin’ arms!

People have been asking me about the Insanity program, so for those of you who are curious, here are Prentice’s thoughts on the matter:

  • First, you should only consider this program if you love exercise, are masochistic or are super determined and/or disciplined (At least 2 out of 3 would be best).
  • The workouts are very intense. I mean, just the warm-ups are brutal, so if you are seriously overweight or out-of-shape, you may want to start with something easier and build-up to this.

  • Gotta Love Shaun T!!!!

    Shaun T is the man! He is a great instructor in these videos. He’s upbeat and is a great motivator. He isn’t a drill sergeant but still pushes you. I want to get his kids workout video because it looks ridiculously fun!

  • Speaking of fun, Insanity workouts ARE NOT FUN. They are repetitive and painful, but effective. Each different workout has a focus, but you see a lot of the same motions and moves over and over again. Shaun T and the people falling over in the video are the most entertaining parts.
  • Speaking of these videos not being fun, they have a timer at the bottom, which I love. There is an overall timer for the entire workout and mini timers for the current interval. So as you’re trying to push yourself, you can see your progress or countdown until the cooldown!
  • I have not been following the diet plan. I mean, who has the time and money to prepare five small meals a day? Not me. Also, beer is not incorporated into the menu, so screw that. Still, the concepts of the meal plan are very basic, simple and balanced, not some kind of funky fad diet. I’ve just been watching what I eat and trying to keep my alcohol consumption to a reasonable level.

I’m already seeing results. I don’t have a scale at my house and never plan to. Since I’m healthy and not super overweight, I’ve been judging the results by how I look, feel and improve with the fitness test. My upper body has improved the most thus far. Hopefully, the Insanoflex and I will stick-it-out until the end and destroy the last fat cells that are holding my pre-receptionist self hostage.

I have to say, the music in this program is alright (especially the final stretch music that sounds like a Rockymontage), but if I could hear the “I Like Your Booty, But I’m Not Gay” song, I would rock Insanity like an Insanoflex!

♫♪I like yo booty but I’m not gay! ♪♫

A FEW MORE Things to Know About Being a Receptionist

Posted on June 2, 2012 by purrrentice

Check out this old Receptionist On The Verge post I found. Past Prentice is a funny lady! Since life has thrown a wrench in my motivation to write with all its bs (I may or may not write of this later), I just cleaned this up and added pics. Enjoy:

Let’s get re-Tardis and do a little time warp…and…Receptionist On The Verge!

This week I thought of more chapters to add to my list of things to know about being a receptionist. Just in case my first lesson and my advanced advice didn’t suffice, here are a few more super duper advanced “Oh my God! You are an office Goddess!” tips to really give you and edge in the amazing world of receptionist-ing:

Pretending Your Boss Isn’t a Dumb Ass

OMG WHY YOU SO DUMB?!?!

Let’s be real. (I promise I won’t tell on ya) Your boss is an idiot. You have no clue how he/she got ahead of the game and became a boss of anything, let alone a business, and it is your job to do damage control every day. I mean, that’s why before Receptionist on the Verge and Reception Perception my blog was called Pam Beasly Moment of The Day. Take a deep breath and know that when your boss screws-up and looks like an ass, it is an opportunity to look saintly by comparison. Turn those lemons into lemonade!

Humoring

As a receptionist, you have to pretend to endorse stupid ideas, policies and tasks, even if they are really, really dumb. I hate this piece of advice I’m about to give, but it’s the best I have: Don’t let it bother you. Now, I know you can’t control if something cheeses you off. That’s why I get pissed when people say this to me when I’m handed something ridiculous. You can’t control your emotions, but don’t get your panties in a twist over these things. Just roll your eyes, do the job, and if it’s particularly dumb, rant about it later.

Dealing With Absolute Chaos & Absolute Silence

Perhaps I should keep the Elements of Harmony with me to prevent chaos…

From my experience, I have found that being a receptionist has two settings: Absolute Chaos or Absolute Silence. I’m either frantically throwing a lot of stuff together at once while dealing with the phone and visitors, or I’m all alone for hours and hours. Why there is rarely an in between or gray area? Who knows? That’s the nature of the beast, so be prepared to either need a Xanax to get through your sudden, million-point checklist or not go mad while in solitary confinement.

Dealing With Data Entry

I know I’ve explained, whined and complained about how much I hate data entry in the past, but unfortunately, it still happens. Bribe yourself with treats to get through it, or have a game going behind it and take way too many breaks.  If you like or can easily tolerate data entry, God bless you, and maybe we can work something out next time I have to type a bazillion names  into a spreadsheet. Would high-fives, beer and pizza be enough?

Drawing The Line

Even though the next nugget of knowledge below this will void-out this one, it still needs to be said and done. Try to draw the line if things get out of hand. Even receptionists deserve the same basic respect and treatment of other employees. An hourly wage is not an all-you-can-eat buffet of tasks and responsibilities, and even though fighting inner-office bullies is like one knight against an army, it must be done…FOR HONOR!

Nobody Cares

It’s sad but true. It does not matter how good a job you do, how assertive you are or how you feel. You can express an opinion or ask for assistance or bring-up a problem or have a great idea, and more likely than not, nothing will come of it. Don’t take it personally. It’s not you. It’s them.

Getting the Spark Back in My Marriage…With Puzzle Quest

Posted on May 17, 2012 by purrrentice

And no. I don’t mean I improved my marriage with Nicholas by way of Puzzle Quest. Our relationship is fine as wine and dandy as candy. I am saying that Puzzle Quest and I have rekindled that gaming flame. Nick is in no way involved, except for waking me-up, prying the controller out of my sleepy hands, and sending me to bed when I pass-out while playing.

Adorable and deadly…yup. That’s me!

Puzzle Quest is basically a love child of Bejeweled and an old-school RPG. It has traditional story elements that resemble Dungeons and Dragons more than your modern RPG video game. No Tidus or cheesy plot or party here. Hell no. Instead, you pick a profession and save the the world pretty much highhandedly.  My character is a knight named Printess, and she’s a bad ass.

Because this game is more focused on battle than plot, I get a little detached from the story. Normally, I would think this is a bad thing, but not with Puzzle Quest. I actually love this about the game. With many RPGs, if you get busy and don’t play for a while, it can be impossible to jump-back-in from where you left off. You’ll be like “Shit. I have no idea what’s going on! What’s going on!?!?!”

Puzzle Quest keeps it real and keeps it simple. I am on a journey to save my people, and low and behold, I have to help lots of other lazy or helpless jerks to get to that end boss, who no surprise here, wants to take over the whole world (not just my peeps). After months of not playing, I can start slaying orcs and zombies and griffons and not miss a beat. When I get back into Puzzle Quest, I go all the way, playing for hours at a time, zoned-out and completely unaware of time and space, and when I stop I  see the gems and skulls on the board when I close my eyes for the next few hours. It’s awesome.

What I Like About This Game

  • The battle system is easy-to-learn and addictive
  • You can jump into this game even if you haven’t played in months.
  • I can capture creatures like pokemon and ride them and use their spells!
  • There are variations to the puzzle game to keep it fresh (Researching spells, forging items, battles and capturing enemies)
  • The replay-ability is high, and there are tons of extra quests
  • You can battle friends, and it’s hella fun!

What I Don’t Like About This Game

  • The battles take a long time, so don’t expect to play this game for just a minute or two.
  • The music track isn’t annoying, but it is short and therefore repeated A LOT.
  • All the names of places and people are weird, and I don’t remember them.
  • Researching spells is agonizing.
  • I wish the sequel was more like the original

So, now I’m off to sit in that amazing, over-sized, pillow chair that my roommate brought into my house, and I’m going to play Puzzle Quest until I either win or fall asleep, whichever comes first! I lie. I’m actually playing D&D with my crew tonight, but tomorrow night it is on!

Thanks to All of You!

Posted on May 14, 2012 by purrrentice

In case you didn’t know already, the results of the Mother’s Day song contest on Voice123 came-in this afternoon, and I won by five votes! That means if a few of you wonderful people had decided not to take a moment to click a link and type my name, I would have lost to that Chris guy. I am so excited, and I want to thank all of you who supported my dope rhymes and ghetto beats! Your votes helped me win a six month extension to my membership with Voice123, which means I can continue to audition on the site without having to renew my subscription for $295! I’m set until February of next year! Thanks so much!

This is all thanks to you!

I learned a lot while working on this project, like how to make beats in Frooty Loops and how to edit and put-together a piece in multiple track view, but I soon learned more than just a lesson about computer software and sound waves. I learned a lesson about friendship, just like Twilight Sparkle! Spike! Take a letter:

Basically, a few friends asked me “Why didn’t you let me help? I could have made some bangin’ beats for you in a jiffy!” DERP!

Also, if you haven’t already, you should check out Voice123’s blog. There is a link in my blogroll!

Oh My Life: Gummy Pigs & Mommy Raps

Posted on May 13, 2012 by purrrentice

I so gangsta!

I was going to write a poem this week, but voice over took over, and I think you guys and gals would get a bigger kick out of what I have to offer in that department today more than a poem about…I don’t even know what I was going to write one about. Whatever. That’s future Prentice’s problem.

Today I got my first check for a legit voice over job in the mail! Yay! I still haven’t received the video from Secret Deodorant, but when I do, I will post it for the world to see/hear!

My best buddy Joie Brown had to do an animatic for her artsy-fartsy grad school classes, and I recently did voice overs for her. I did all three voices for the piece below (Hansel, Gretel and a Gummy Pig), and both of her professors who viewed the animatic said ridiculously nice things about me. They were impressed, especially since they have not previously experienced that that is The Prentice. Heck, if two professionals on that level think that highly of my character work, I must be on the right track!

Now, I need your help. I don’t ask for a lot on this blog (at least not from my readers), but this is super important. Voice123 is having a contest. I had to write, record and mix a song about Mother’s Day. It’s on their Facebook page now, and the song that gets the most likes and votes wins six months of Voice123 for free! If you want to help me get ahead in the voice over game but don’t have or want to give cash, this is perfect for you! Just go to  THIS LINK and write PRENTICE’S SONG WAS THE BEST in the comments area (Hell, you can even copy/paste it if you’re lazy). You don’t even have to listen to it…

but if you do, here is a link!

Disclaimer: This song is SUPPOSED to be crappy and ghetto. I have never used music mixing software or edited in multiple tracks, so I went with a silly, rap song (I also love writing retarded rap songs). Granted, I think the rhymes are fly as hell, but the background is a bit…well…ghetto and kinda bad. Because I do not have a home studio, I had to record this Friday night, start editing the audio, find and download Frooty Loops, learn how the hell to even use Frooty Loops and try to pull awesomeness out of my butt this morning in less than five hours. So, don’t hate. Just vote!

The Ten Dollar Poem

Posted on May 2, 2012 by purrrentice

While looking for an image, I was thinking about how cool it would be to get paid to photograph money. Talk about easy money!

Happy Wednesday, Everybody. I know it’s been a while since I wrote a magnificent poem for this blog, but that’s changing today. I’ve been toying with this idea of my ten dollar poem for a while now. It started when I was compiling a list of the things I do at work and breaking down each job, defining how much per hour/year each job paid. Then I came across this article in Forbes: College Degree = $10-Hour Job. I laughed until I cried, or maybe I cried until I started cackling like a deranged weirdo.  Everybody knows I love to laugh, especially in the face of crazy times. My dad calls this “laughing to keep from crying.” Pinkie Pie calls it “Giggle at the Ghostie.”

Either way, I thought it would be fun to do my next archived poetic form with this theme of things I can buy for ten dollars. In the Receptionist on the Verge post, What’s your Sign? Well, I’m a Horny Fish, I wrote a poem in an interesting form. It is in ABAA, but the second stanza becomes the first, third and fourth of the next. And the last stanza sets the poem-up to begin in the same rhyming scheme. I have trouble believing I made this form-up, but I can’t find the name or description of this anywhere. So anyways, here is my ten dollar poem, in mystery format:

The Ten Dollar Poem

On certain days just like today,
my bank account looks quite malign,
and if this certain day is payday,
my sanity quickly floats away,

But rather than whine,
about how ten bucks an hour will pay my bills,
I make a game of guess and rhyme,
listing what is worth my time,

If I need a thrill,
after an hour of busting my ass,
I can buy a pack of my birth control pills,
or go on a shopping spree at Goodwill,

I could buy a gallon or two of gas,
or forty, rubber, bouncy balls,
or pay some kids to mow my grass,
or screw it! Just fill my wine glass!

For sixty minutes of taking calls,
I’ll get a student, matinee movie stub,
some cheap art to hang on my wall,
or a fuzzy blanket on which to sprawl,

I could eat a yummy, turkey sub,
or eat two and a half happy meals,
or buy half a lap dance at a club,
or drink one craft beer at the pub,

but what may be a better deal,
is instead to buy a cheap six-pack,
and pizza rolls! That’d be ideal,
to deal with any angst I feel,

I could download a game or six music tracks,
or buy some kibble for my cat,
nail polish, a coffee, or a trading card stack,
some flip flops, socks, or 396 Tic Tacs,

So instead of being a brat,
when feeling underpaid and cast astray,
I’ll make this joke and not fall flat,
because someday my time will buy more than that.

Les Miser-admins! Happy Admin Assistant Appreciation Day!

Posted on April 25, 2012 by purrrentice

Wow. I really dropped the ball this year. Last Admin Appreciation Day, one person at the office remembered. This year, I didn’t even remember. I even went to an office today, and now feel terrible that I didn’t remember to at least say something sweet to the ladies at the front desk. SHAME ON ME! I suppose this holiday has become so pointless to me that I can’t even remember to care that nobody remembered.

Strangely enough, I was planning to write a blog today about Les Miserables (seems a fitting enough crossover to office peasantry). Once again, I got to be arm candy for my friend Angie, and we went with her family to The Fabulous Fox to see this wonderful play. Our seats were so amazing! I’m getting spoiled!

To be honest, I’ve never really seen Les Mis before. I performed songs from it in high school, and I watched a bit of the 1998 film in class…I think. I can’t remember because my movie day memories in orchestra and chorus are mostly filled with the first half of Grease.  I know. It’s terrible.

As soon as I knew Angie was taking me along, I was super excited and searched for the play on Netflix. The only thing I found was this old, black and white film with no music. I’m still glad I watched it because the musical is fast paced, and it was good to already understand the plot.

The musical was amazing! There were so many strong voices, and the set was really cool. There were some great effects with projectors, too. My only qualm is the well-known fact that English is not the best language for operatic performances. I wanted subtitles for a language I speak. I loved the combination of grit, power and beauty in some of the vocals. It made me realize what an awful job my chorus did of the music in high school. We were not actors singing the characters’ grief and love and despair and hope. We were singers trying to sound pretty. At first the harsh tone of some of my favorite tunes took me aback, but I immediately realized it’s supposed to. Goodness, I make a learning experience out of everything now, especially for my voice over and acting skills.

Basically, this performance of Les Miserables was nothing less than stunning and beautiful, and to celebrate/correlate this to poetry, here is the fridge song I did to Castle on a Cloud.

Break room on a cloud!
