Coco Off the Grid
Let's go off the grid and get silly with today's headlines, work dramas and the unexplainable actions of others.
Close your blinds, shut off your lights and put your phones on airplane mode because it's time to join me for another episode of "Coco Off the Grid."
Coco Off the Grid
Naked Handstands
What if a simple name change could set the stage for a whole new podcast experience? As we embark on this rebranded journey, we unravel the stories behind the fresh identity and share a glimpse into the humorous world of remote work and virtual training, courtesy of the ever-entertaining antics of Jamar. We’ll also discuss why we can’t have nice things during a night out on Halloween in Orlando.
Switching gears, join us in our gaming adventures, where we navigate the quirky world of The Sims and the late-night thrill of Silent Hill 2. Gaming culture shines through candid anecdotes about GTA role-playing, “The Babysitter,” movie series, and a nostalgic return to Gamefly. We also tackle the frustrating art of communication and delve into workplace dynamics, including an accounting debacle that spirals into a tangle of miscommunication. Amidst laughter and serious revelations, including a shocking incident at Hacienda Healthcare, we offer a full spectrum of stories—both entertaining and poignant—that shape this episode's engaging narrative.

All right, welcome to another episode of what used to be. Here's the Thing, where now we're rebranding okay, we're doing something different, going into, obviously, close to the end of the year. I chose to rebrand because everybody has the same fucking podcast name on Spotify and I'm just over it. So to try to be different and to try to be the only thing that pops up when people search for this fucking thing, um, I changed the name and the branding of it. I might have to fuck around with the album work, I guess what they call it. Who the fuck knows. I might have to fuck around with that and change it a little bit, but I think we should be okay. So I have a lot and a little to talk about.
Speaker 1:So who knows how long this is going to be? In the interest of staying consistent, I'm working from home today, obviously. Otherwise you would hear a lot of noise behind me and I'm not going to record me talking to myself at work. So I've decided I'm going to work from home today because I'm not feeling too great. My head feels a little foggy and my nose a little congested, which you can kind of hear, and talking and kind of like doing anything is putting quite the damper on trying to breathe. So I'm home chilling. I told my manager last night. So we good, and that's what's happening.
Speaker 1:I think I might just do it for the rest of the week because, honestly, I'm okay with training and shit, but the way they do training for this position is not how they did it when I started as a new hire. So when I started as a new hire, you sit in a classroom and some idiot. Well, no, I really liked my trainer, my new hire teacher, whatever. I think they're enterprise learning representatives. I don't know what they're called exactly, but I think that's their business unit title. I just don't know what they are called specifically.
Speaker 1:So she was very cool. Her name's Ashlyn. She was awesome. But if the heart's tired, the heart is tired. You know what I mean. So I used to fall asleep, regardless of how interesting the topic was.
Speaker 1:Like a lot of people would be nodding out in class my favorite coworker so far, jamar so fucking funny. He used to be lounging on his couch Like he was posing for the picture in Titanic, you know, when Rose lays down with the fucking jewel of the ocean. And she was hilarious every time. They used to focus on him because, like I guess, the camera would travel around to whoever's talking or wherever the noise is, and whenever it would come to him I would always be laughing because he had a do-rag on a white beater and would just be laying across his couch. All of us would like side message each other like what is he doing? But he was the funniest one. He's still around.
Speaker 1:He's one of the few that are left, because a lot of my class left, um quit, obviously, because you know it's it's hard to work under pressure and feel like you get nowhere. I'm finally at a point where I'm like, all right, I've gotten somewhere and I've I have time to chill. But it's like during training, when you're doing a lot of self-studies by yourself and not having to pay attention, really you can fall asleep. And not having to pay attention, really you can fall asleep. And I would rather be nodding out on my couch while rewatching shit, because that's all I can really do, since most of the instructor led courses don't have sessions to sign up for and we're approaching year end, which means that all the educators are teaching year end shit like W-2 stuff, like, uh, placing holds on w-2s, uh, direct mail of w-2s and 1099, shit like that. So they're not really fucking with us regular people right now that need like other training.
Speaker 1:Like next week I'll be doing some fundamental training, which is cool. I don't know that. I'll be in a classroom. It'll probably be more video shit, which is fine. I don't have a problem with that. One of the trainings I signed up for is like three days and i'm'll be in a classroom. It'll probably be more video shit, which is fine. I don't have a problem with that. One of the trainings I signed up for is like three days and I'm going to be in pajamas two of those days. I already know it because if it starts on a Wednesday, I'm an office Wednesday, even if it's Tuesday, wednesday, thursday. One of those days is going to be in pajamas, which is fine. Like I said, um, but that's good. So that's enough of that.
Speaker 1:I do have some work shit I want to talk about, which I think is fucking hilarious, and if I've spoke to you about this already, you already know what this is about. But let's go through. Let's go through a couple other things first and we'll end with that bullshit. So the first thing that happened we all know Halloween already passed the time I'm recording this. This is on a Tuesday. This is going to drop. I could drop it same day, but I don't want to do that. We're going to try and stick to a schedule of Wednesday, thursday, latest Friday for a new release, but I'm trying to go back to Wednesdays. Only thing is, though, is that it works out better Thursdays, because I work from home Thursday and I can fucking edit and everything else same day and drop that shit. So you might get a little early one this week, since I'm in the mood and I had stuff to talk about and I don't want to forget. So, as I'm trying to not forget, let me just pull up my notes here, all right? So, as I was saying, we just had Halloween recently pass.
Speaker 1:I don't know what's going on, but I have to say that I'm really sick of people trying to go out and have fun and someone bringing a gun and shooting shit up. Okay, so there was a shooting on Halloween in downtown Orlando, on Halloween night, like Halloween overnight, so like in the AMs. So let me just pull this article up, because I could not have been more pissed off at this person. Where are the fucking parents? Where are the fucking parents? Where is this kid's fucking parents. This kid already had a record and somehow. How did he get a fucking gun? All right, how did he get a fucking gun? Let me just pull this up. Let me pull this up. I know I pulled it up somewhere. So hang on. Halloween, motherfucker, there we go. Halloween, let's see. Or did I send it to my mama? Florida, florida, what the fuck's wrong with me? It was WESH 2. Let me see, it's somewhere. Bruh, I sent it to the family chat, so let me fucking see. I hope we didn't talk enough shit where. What the fuck? Hold on, it's here, there it is. There it is. It's the craziest fucking thing. Okay Says.
Speaker 1:Two men are dead and at least seven people are injured after an overnight shooting in downtown Orlando. The city's police department said. Orlando police confirmed on Saturday that the two men killed in the shooting were 25 year old Tyreek Hill and 19 year old Timothy Schmidt Jr, the alleged shooter. By the way, this is what made me even more mad. 17-year-old Jalen Dwayne Edgar waived his appearance in juvenile court Saturday morning. Police responded to a shooting call near East Central Boulevard and North Orange Avenue just at 1.07 am, friday. Minutes later, police said they received another call about shots fired south of Washington Street on North Orange Avenue. Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith said eight people were shot, two of the victims died and a ninth person was trampled in the chaos. Victims' ages are between 19 and 39.
Speaker 1:The video is crazy as fuck. I only saw a snippet of it, okay, and you basically see everybody partying, having a good time and then fucking, I guess shots fired and everybody scatters like roaches literally Sorry, if you heard that I needed to take a bite of something has been fucking dying. The video shows a large crowd dispersing in a chaotic scene. Police said 50,000 to 100,000 people were in the area for a Halloween celebration. That's a lot of fucking people. Talk about crowd control. I'm going to go through the list of the people. Sorry, I'm trying to chew and talk. I'm going to go through the victims list because this is insane and I was reading this to the boyfriend while he was driving was reading this to the boyfriend while he was driving. It was fucking crazy. And there we go.
Speaker 1:Nine people were taken to the Orlando Regional Medical Center. Police said two of them are in critical condition. Ormc released updated conditions. This was as of last week. I don't know how they are now. This was as of last week when I looked this up. I don't know how they are now. This was as of last week when I looked this up.
Speaker 1:Victim one Tyreek Hill, 25, deceased. Victim two Timothy Schmidt Jr, 19, deceased. Fifth victim three white male 18, shot in lower left leg. Victim four white female 39, shot in left hand. Victim five Hispanic female 24, shot in left leg. Victim six black male 20, shot in head graze in parentheses. Victim seven Hispanic male male 20 shot in head graze in parentheses.
Speaker 1:Victim seven Hispanic male 26 shot in right foot.
Speaker 1:Victim eight Hispanic female 19 shot in upper back, lodged in cheek.
Speaker 1:Is insane. Victim nine Hispanic female 26 injuries from being trampled. Victim eight and victim six what the fuck man, that's crazy. Victim nine obvious because she was in a crowd. Okay, someone was going to get trampled, because the way everybody moved if you look up this video, the way everybody moved someone was getting stepped on. That's not even a joke. I'm not even trying to be funny, but that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Victim eight shot in upper back and lodged in cheek. That shit went diagonal up. Like that's insane, like, oh God, like I just think about these things and I'm like yo. That shit is going to hurt forever. Anytime it rains, like you know, you get like that arthritic pain, that soreness, anytime it rains. This lady's just going to call it a day. I'm not trying to be funny, but that's how I feel about my knees and my feet and my hips. Okay, too much dancing back in the day. My mom would blame it on twerking. I think it's absolutely incorrect. I don't think those two correlate. But it's fine, this lady's just going to call it a day. I really just don't have. I don't.
Speaker 1:Here's the thing they don't even mention the parents whatsoever. This kid already had a record. Okay, I don't even know how he got a gun. See, it says OPD said Edgar has been charged with two counts of first degree murder with a firearm and six counts of attempted first degree murder with a firearm. So the problem is is that how did he get this gun? Who has it in his house that he was able to get it? This kid already had a record of assault, I believe before this, and somehow was able to grab a gun from somebody, steal it, run into a crowd, shoot. The way they tackle this fucking kid is crazy, necessary and crazy. Like they tackled him, like Stabler did on SVU. I was like oh shit when I saw it, but I was like good, good for him, because fuck you, and this is the thing, so I don't want to get into it. This is not what this fucking podcast is about, but shit like this is why they're stereotypes. Okay, because this was a young African-American kid.
Speaker 1:What are you doing, bruh, if we're trying to save the country, one person at a time, what are you doing? You're making everybody else look bad in your category. Okay, stop doing this shit. What were you trying to prove? Did you just not want to be out with civilians anymore, cause this is a good way to go? I don't understand. How angry do you have to be? How many journals do kids like this have to have with crazy shit written in it before somebody stops them? You know, this kid has probably the craziest search history in America. Probably was trying to figure out how to make pipe bombs and shit Like. These. Kids document shit everywhere and with technology, we should be a little bit more on point with this. Not that the NSA has to watch everybody, but like, don't y'all have trigger words.
Speaker 1:This kid had to have searched for something to figure out how to get this gun, unless it was already in his home. Which, first of all, parents. Where are they? Where are the parents? I'm not blaming the parents, I'm just asking where they are, because if they let this kid like, the parents aren't even brought up in this initial article, they're left out of it Like he's I'm sure he's not a foster kid that would be crazy. That would be crazy. That would be crazy If a random foster kid was able to get a gun.
Speaker 1:In any case, that's what fucking happened in Orlando, because we just can't have nice shit, we just can't go anywhere. We just got to stay inside. Good thing I stayed inside. My sisters went out. I was like, oh, am I at that age now? Good thing I stayed inside. My sisters went out. I was like ew, am I at that age now? I turned around and looked and was like ew, I'm indoors and they're out. I do remember, though, every year in New York when there was Halloween, I was out. I was even out for Christmas in July. Christmas in July was great, the one that I went to. I'll tell you a story about that, because fuck that kid. And that's all the time he gets from me 10 minutes. So Christmas in July was not only fun, but Santa was fucking drunk. They had a guy looking like Santa sitting on the throne whatever you want to call it and it was hilarious because he was drunk as shit and tried to hit on my friend Laura. Laura was on my other podcast.
Speaker 1:I don't know if any of the episodes I think the episodes were saved. I somehow unarchived them, which is crazy. They might be on Spotify still. It was Cuckoo with Coco, if you find it. If not, maybe I'll bring them back out, because I was like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1:I did a lot of these. Like I scrolled through the whole thing and she was on an episode. An ex-boyfriend of mine was on an episode. Um, my mom was on an episode. It's fucking hilarious. I should just pull that one up Cause that's fucking hilarious, like as an inter, as an intermingling one, not as like a. I don't want to record, so I'm going to use this one to replace it.
Speaker 1:Um, so Christmas in July was a lot of fucking fun. I didn't even know what I was getting into. The first one I went to, but Laura and I went out, cause I guess that was her phase at the moment Trying to, you know, trying to get out of the mood of an ex-boyfriend. This guy was the funniest fucking Santa I've ever seen, drunk, trying to hit on us. I was like this is so sloppy and gross. What a great holiday. It was July 25th. It's Christmas in July. I don't know why. I can't even tell you where this started. It was fun, though. I had a good time. We would drink and hang out. It's always at this place called Billy Joe's Ribworks. Their food was so fucking good. I always used to get the mac and cheese balls. Those were great Anyway. So Christmas in July, halloween was always at the same place, same people, kind of like fucking cheers. In any case, I had a good time. It was good.
Speaker 1:Another thing that grosses me out like I almost threw up looking at this word just now because, like I said, I try and keep myself organized Nasal lavage, dude, just the. My God, I'm about to throw up. Um, just the word is disgusting. If you've ever seen neti pots and shit, that's what nasal lavage is. I'm so about to throw up. Um, sorry, I was reading the rest of my notes and I was like, oh yeah, that's going to be fucking good to talk about. So nasal lavage is disgusting to me and here's why you're basically pumping water into one nostril and flushing whatever's in your nose out the other side, and I want to vomit right now as I talk about it, because it's disgusting looking and depending upon what's in there.
Speaker 1:I cannot be a participant of helping someone do that. That's all I can say. I can watch surgeries of people removing shit and there being blood and guts everywhere. I cannot watch mucus come out of someone. I think that's gross. Excuse me, I didn't mean to cough, but this is what's happening now. Okay, I'm sick, but yeah, that's so disgusting to me. Why the fuck is that a thing? Why the fuck do you know? I don't even care.
Speaker 1:Um, disgusting story though my grandfather used to suck the boogers out of baby's noses Like not random babies, obviously, that would be fucking weird, but like when I was a baby, that's how he used to deal with it and I was like like I seriously can't talk about this anymore. That's disgusting, ew. Um, I would never, I could never, I don't want to, and just don't ask, because nasal lavage turns in my stomach every time, like they even call it. Right now, there's a machine out and this is the only reason why I'm talking about it that showed exactly what happens, because I was watching my favorite comedian do his podcast on YouTube and I have commercials because I'm not paying for YouTube red. I paid for it once before. Didn't make sense. It's 10 a month, youtube. Just bring your price down to like five and maybe we'll talk about it. So, um, yeah, so nasal lavage is gross. Speaking of stupid and gross things Um, remember that kid Ryan I was telling you about a couple episodes ago where he acts like a woman.
Speaker 1:I don't even care if he hears this because, fuck you, how about that? Um, he's not a bad guy, he's just so fucking. You know how they say when you know someone gives you the ick, he gives me the ick 25, eight. So I said hello to him and I was like hey, I hope you had a good Halloween, whatever. You know, trying to be friendly, chilling. Um wasn't really expecting a response to that and spoken to him in like over a month. It's like okay, whatever, um, friendships depleted. But I went, uh, I messaged him. I was like hey, I hope you had a good Halloween, hope you gave some kids some good candy, whatever, whatever.
Speaker 1:He sent back a picture of him and his staff and he was dressed like a leprechaun and had a huge coin in his hand. I have the picture saved. Okay, dan, I'll send it to you. Calm down. He sent me to one and he said makes him look less tired. I'm like doesn't take away the fact that you're wearing a fucking leprechaun costume, buddy, like what is wrong with you that's what I'm supposed to be focused on is that you look more energetic in a green outfit. Like shut the fuck up, dude.
Speaker 1:In any case, I asked him how shit was going. He asked how stuff was going with me and the boy. And I told him and I said how's stuff going with you? Because I want to make sure he's good not that I really care that much, but I'm trying to be friendly, whatever. Um. So he said let me read this shit.
Speaker 1:I still didn't answer this text and it's been like three days. Oh, sunday, yeah, so three days. Um, this is what. Um. So he thinks that, uh, he's like I hope that he's the one for you and I'm like guys, don't say this shit anyway. So I said how's work in such? I know you've been busy he goes yeah, I've been training the new manager and next week I finally get a piece of weekends off. Today is also the New York city marathon, so New York is packed. It was Sunday, so, yeah, typically after Halloween New York city marathon happens. He works in a hotel in New York city, so I said, oh goodness, he goes. What else is new with you? How's the new apartment treating you? It's awesome, big getting my steps in for a mayo, you know trying to be cute. Um, oh right, right, right, hold up. Uh, oh right. So when I said how are things with you?
Speaker 1:Earlier in the conversation, he was great. To be honest, I got myself a Haitian girl that I've been talking to for a few weeks. She's really nice. So I did Ooh, like, oh, like, oh, cool, whatever. And, um, he put a question mark on it. I kind of didn't even answer that, like, what the fuck is the question mark for? Because I don't give a shit. So he said Anne likes to talk to me every day. Like bruh, that sound was just for me. But like, let me tell you something. So after I go, so after he asked me all that at 6 o'clock.
Speaker 1:So we started this conversation, this text conversation, at 1230. So six o'clock that evening he goes, by the way. Why did you say ooh earlier? Oh, dude. I said I didn't even answer him till four and a half hours later because I was so angry that he needed a follow-up from ooh. So I said, because you said Haitian, and I didn't expect that dot, dot, dot question mark L-M-A-O. That's word for word, my text, and he goes. I kind of figured that was the reason. And then he goes. Why, though? Actually, this is it so I don't even know if he's asking me. He goes. I figured that was the reason. I kind of figured that was the reason why. Though, what? What do you mean? What do you mean why? I answered your question in the previous text. I didn't expect you to mention you're dating a Haitian girl. Just the fact that she's Haitian blew my mind.
Speaker 1:This doesn't have to be a long drawn out drama. We could get past this, and this is why I don't talk to this fucking kid right here. We could move on with our day. We don't need to even address the fact that I said ooh, we could have just went our separate ways. And it's been Monday, tuesday, today makes the second day. I have not answered this fucking thing. I don't have it in me. This is why I'm not nice or friendly. You try and do a good thing and it comes back and smacks you in the face Because he should know me well enough by now, since he knew me like 10 years ago that when I just say Ooh, it's kind of like end the conversation right there, that's what it is. The Ooh means nothing, the Ooh means Ooh, I'm interested in what happened. Or the Ooh means ooh, that's cool, it's that ooh. What does she mean by ooh? I hate people that do that.
Speaker 1:George does this shit at work too. He asked me two weeks ago about an email. If I wanted to like fucking. This is the gist. Let's sum it up. He got an email from a client and he asked me the opinion of what she said because he didn't know like he wanted to know how he should respond to it. So apparently she said something snarky in the email and he thinks that I'm going to woman like woman-splain it so that he knows the appropriate way to respond. So he read the snarky shit to me and I've already learned how to you know. Boom, email bounce shit.
Speaker 1:So I'm just like no, and he was like yeah, but what did she mean by that? And I'm like who the fuck cares, george? Like I didn't obviously say who the fuck cares. I said no, but who cares? And he was like yeah, but you don't wonder what she thinks about that kind of stuff. And I'm like cares. And he was like yeah, but you don't wonder what she thinks about that kind of stuff. And I'm like yeah, but no, who cares? Like who really even cares? It's not even a big deal, you don't even need to answer it. He's like yeah, but what's she trying to be sarcastic? I'm like George, who cares.
Speaker 1:I couldn't have said who cares more in a sentence than that one, because I think all morning I told them who cares because it doesn't matter when people are being like that and I have the tendency to be that way who cares is the best response. Actually, no response is the best response. So me not answering him is doing him the favor, because his feelings are going to get butt hurt when I answer him, which I'm going to answer him today and I will tell you what he says next week, or maybe I'll do a mini episode to let you know what the response was. But I'm not doing this with you, ryan, this was like 10 years of you knowing me and then stop knowing me because you dated someone and then coming back on the scene to be friends again. I don't care about re-returns, bruh. What I care about is the fact that you act like you've never had a conversation with me in the entire time we've known each other.
Speaker 1:Okay, cut it out, grow up. Stop thinking everyone needs to have an opinion on something in your life. I think that's what it is Like. He has a lot of family issues, which is fine, but also, don't overthink my friendship. It's very cut and dry. I'm at a point in my life I'm 35. I'm not fucking arguing with you on anything.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm not doing it at work. I'm not doing it with anybody, anybody, not even friends, not even this guy, not even the boyfriend. I don't even fight with him. You know why? Because I'll just take care of it. If I see something that has to be cleaned up, I'm not going to tell him about it. Well, I might. I might tell him later, but I'm going to clean it and I'll be like hey, you know how you did that thing earlier that I had to clean, I did it. That's just like you know, put you on notice a little bit softly, but you want notice softly? Put you on notice and be like hey, the thing you did, I took care of it and it's fine. So, anyway, that guy pissed me off. He acts like a woman. Still, it's like the Chronicles of Ryan just some woman shit. Um, I'm telling you I probably have a little bit of like masculine energy because I was raised as a tomboy, but there's certain things that guys do that I just don't get it Like.
Speaker 1:I don't care if you want to be Metro, but don't be reading into my conversations as if there's more. I really do not have more. I'm really a face value person. If I tell you something, that's it. I say I'm going to do something, I do something. If you need me to help you, I help you. If I say ooh to something, it's just ooh, it's not ooh. What does she mean by ooh? I feel like saying, bruh, I hope you were not stuck on this for two days that I didn't answer you. But this is what my ooh means. It just means ooh. Are you happy with that answer? Did that upset you? I'm upset, too, that I had to fucking entertain this shit. Anyway. So that's me, that's me in a box. Okay, I'm very face value and I will disagree with you on anything, and not care if I'm right or wrong, because that's what I do Anyway. So I grinded out. Over the weekend. I grinded out Silent Hill 2. I'm not done with it yet. I think I'm about halfway through, according to what IGN said. And, don't worry, I grinded out Silent Hill 2. I'm not done with it yet. I think I'm about halfway through, according to what IGN said. And don't worry, I'm not using the walkthrough unless I need to. I was just looking at the chapters to see where I'm at, and right now I think I'm at Toluca Lake Prison, so it's about halfway.
Speaker 1:I played eight fucking hours of that game Sunday, just to be halfway, and I started this shit Saturday, friday, saturday, no, yeah, I started it Friday. I don't think I played any of it Saturday. No, because I ran around, did errands and got on the computer. I think I played 20 minutes of it Saturday because my friend Hunter from the UK decided to get on and bother me. No, I'm kidding, he, uh, he got on and wanted to show me the GTA role-playing shit he does, which is cool, but he was trying to get me to play it and he goes queen, you would fucking love it, cause my, my gaming nickname is queen. So, um, he was like you would love it. He goes. I don't understand you. He goes. You're fucking lying to me, if you, if you don't believe you would love it. And I'm like bro, look, I believe you. What I'm saying is that I don't want to work after work. This seems like a lot of work. He seems like he's doing a nine to five. After a nine to five, I don't want to do that with video games.
Speaker 1:I fucking sat my happy ass after work yesterday because I went home on work because bitches be coughing in the office and that's probably why I got sick Fucking. I got my happy ass on the computer at 4.30, 4.30. And I played Sims until 11.30. Okay, I sat for seven hours. I designed my Sim, I designed the apartment and then halfway through I said, fuck this, this is not a big enough home for her. Then I switched it up and I moved her into a house. Boom, what the fuck's up. Okay, so by the end of the night, me and Julio were watching fucking. We finished the babysitter, uh, killer, queen.
Speaker 1:Really good movies, by the way, the babysitter movies, holy shit, I forgot how fucking crazy those movies got so fast, so fast. Um, so we watched those movies and then we started watching Casper. This guy, casper site, is hilarious on YouTube. He makes fucking videos, um of commentary on, uh, people who go and do ghost hunting shit, or people who post videos about creepy ghost shit. It's really good. I enjoy it. We laugh because there was a Halloween compilation he put together where he fucking jumped out of his chair so many times. It was hilarious. Oops, shit. Okay, that fell over there.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I'm trying to eat breakfast and do this at the same time. I know it's obnoxious, I'm trying not to chew and talk. Blah, blah, blah. Thank goodness I didn't catch the chomp. My shit's getting cold. Ew, okay, where's my notes? Oh, let me tell you something. Gamefly, you win. Okay, you win again. You got me back. It's been years, but I'm not paying money. I'm not paying. So here's the thing with games. Now, for some reason, games are coming out and acting like they didn't have a beta Call of Duty 6, for example, I'm sorry, black Ops 6. Let me not say that. So Black Ops 6 is crazy. It's good. Nobody else I know has it. If you have it, drop me a line, we'll game together. This fucking is so funny.
Speaker 1:So this one chick that's just started with ADP. I was working with her as like a new hire kind of thing, just to get her acclimated to part of the process of being an account manager before I switched over to implementation, and she told me that she plays video games too and she said, hey, um, let me know whenever you get on. She's like, and I'll pick up the sticks. What girl? What does that mean? I know what it means. We'll just say I'll get on and play, pick up the sticks. I don't know if I'm older than her or if she's older than me or what, but that's crazy. Nobody says that, excuse me. Nobody says that.
Speaker 1:I've heard of getaway sticks as fucking legs. What does pick up the sticks mean? Because in Call of Duty you're picking up a controller to pick up a gun. Okay, it's not sticks, but anyway it's cute, it's funny, it's whatever.
Speaker 1:I'm not making fun of her to be mean. I'm just like that's a little cutesy way of saying I'll get on a game with you. And I'm just like that's a little cutesy way of saying I'll get on a game with you. But I looked at it and just cause I was like what, excuse me, I'm gonna have to cut that out. Actually, I'm going to leave it because I sneeze and I'm a human, anyway, so I think that's so, that's good. So, yeah, pick up the sticks. By the way, so sorry that I'm sick, but I'm leaving everything in because I want you to know that I'm a real person. And whatever you hear, you hear and that's it. It's getting worse by the day, Excuse me. So yeah, gamefly got me.
Speaker 1:I'm not paying $70 or $60 for any games unless I actually know that they're good and worth it. So, like with Gamefly, it's like 18 bucks a month, get like a game a week or something. No, you get a game, you play it, you send it back. They send you the next one in your queue. They got me back. They got me back. I don't know what I was doing without it. Only problem is that they don't do computer games. So I'm basically on the couch falling asleep playing games on my PlayStation, because Silent Hill 2, I'm playing on my PlayStation. And you know what's funny is that I never thought I would get to this point. But playing it on headphones is so much better than playing it through with volume through the TV. I can hear so much better with headphones.
Speaker 1:And then I was going back to when I played, when I had my PlayStation 3. I don't even know what happened to all those things. Oh, game GameStop happened. That's what happened. Um, cause, I would go to GameStop, trade my system in for a better system, like for the next one. It's like the PS3, I probably traded in to get the PS4. No, maybe, I don't know, whatever. Um, I probably traded the PlayStation in so that I could have. Oh right, I traded the PS3 in so that my sisters could get a system, because I was getting the PS4 for Christmas. Anyway, it doesn't matter. So game fly got me back. So, good job with the marketing. Zero for the first month, fuck yeah. Or is it zero for two weeks? Don't remember, but that 18 bucks is coming out and I'm keeping it Anyway.
Speaker 1:So, as we come to the back end of this episode, there's two things I want to talk about that are work related. One such thing happened to me yesterday all morning, and the thing is is that I know the level of efficiency I provided in any position I've held with ADP. Being an account manager, I have to say, made me a better note taker, receipt keeper, all that shit, because with core you don't have to keep notes like that. You might have to if it becomes. If you feel in your gut that this is going to come back to bite you later, then yeah, save that shit. But being an account manager, you have to because it's your client. And if your client makes you look stupid, you have to point it out that hey, no, you're stupid and hold up the piece of paper that says it. You're dumb and hold up the contract of how stupid they are, with all the read receipts, all the emails, all the threads, all the people involved. So this lady, this is what happened to my client.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I mentioned this before, but there is a client of mine who was apparently sharing a bank account with a client of another product. So I'm in, I was in majors. The other client was a run client, so they're small business. Apparently, the small business company was getting charged for the major accounts stuff like their bills, whatever was getting paid by this other company, like their bills, whatever was getting paid by this other company. Now, this representative who works in I don't, I think she's GSO, that works for GSO is a pain in the dick, okay, because she doesn't know how to talk to people and I had about enough of her yesterday when I was dealing with her originally on this, and yesterday. So we were trying to figure everything out by the.
Speaker 1:By the time I left my position, everything had been handled. Okay, I'd reached out to the client, we discussed it, we changed everything to remove the direct debit of fees. Then the second part of it the last part of it was to reach out to accounting to send new invoices. So I made that clear to the client and then, a few days later since I kind of dropped the ball on it, which is fine, I admitted it I reached back out to the client and was like hey, so I'm going to have to uh, I'm still partnering with accounting on this to make sure that we get all the documentation out to you. And the client goes yeah, you don't have to worry about that, we're just going to use the invoices, the old invoices that we had to, you know, settle everything.
Speaker 1:So I said okay, um, do you know when abouts that's going to be sent out to be paid? Because you know that my client owed and the other, the small business company, was supposed to be credited. So, um, they sent me an email back. They're a finance person sent me an email back and the date it showed is supposed to go out this week and it's like date stamped 10, nine is the week pay ADP reconciling, um, past due balance, whatever. So there's a whole bunch of notes on it.
Speaker 1:So this motherfucking bitch hits me up yesterday with this nonsense and I'm going to pull it up because I want to read a word for word. So I do this whole stupid situation justice and I'm going to pull it up because I want to read it word for word. So I do this whole stupid situation justice. So let's see, so September 23rd was the last time I heard from her. So today, I mean yesterday, at 10 51, she reaches out to me and goes good morning, corinne spells it wrong, by the way. Can you please respond to such and such email he sent a few minutes ago? I guess you were not copied. I'll forward you and you can respond back to me. And I said I'm probably not copied on it because I'm in implementation.
Speaker 1:And the message she sent me was I believe that the credits had been issued to the side-by-side client. The client is reporting to service that this did not occur. I said I can tell you who the new account manager is. And she said she goes that one is a mass upmarket client. I said okay, but I was in charge of, like, the majors person. I'm not in charge of the side-by-side run client, I'm a side-by-side small business um run client. I said Tyler Schultz is the new AM. She said Corinne spelled it wrong. Again, it's right in front of her, by the way. So every time someone pings somebody, their name is there. Okay, this is not new. She's worked with me before. This is what irritates me about people. We've worked together on something before and this is don't be fucking stupid. Okay, don't be stupid about shit. So she said Corinne spelled incorrectly.
Speaker 1:Did you engage the accounting department to make sure to make each client whole again with debits, credits? At the time you were the AM. And she sent me a screenshot of me saying, like I don't know what I said that I was going to reach out and partner with that, with that team, to get that done. I said I reached out to the client, by the way. So we went from 10 55 to noon is when she answered me again. So I'm thinking again. So the time she's taking, the time in between responses, that she's taking to answer me makes me think that shit's fine. And it's not fine obviously because she goes. Uh, I reached, so I responded back with her.
Speaker 1:Having asked me that stupid fucking question, I said I reached out to the client and let them know that I'd be working with the account team. At that point. They stated they had found old invoices and use those to pay ADP. I have the email on this as well. She goes can you please forward it to me? I sent it to her and I said sent. Their finance person was the last person to respond. According to the email, the payment should have been sent out the week of 10, nine. So she goes.
Speaker 1:Did you ever connect with our accounting team? I said I didn't. She goes, she goes. Okay. You stated that you were okay, bitch, but I didn't. So I said I made one attempt to connect but didn't get through to anyone, which is when I updated the client stating that I was working with the account, with accounting, on this.
Speaker 1:When they mentioned they were paying with old invoices, I wasn't sure if the proper process was to connect with accounting again or if it was okay to just have the client pay with the old invoices. She said a case should have been created, been sent to accounting to issue credits to side-by-side client. So here's the thing Nowhere did she ever mention that that was supposed to happen, nowhere In the previous conversation we had in September. By the way, hadn't spoken to her in a full on month, oh gosh, I said if I misunderstood then that's on me, but I don't recall that being mentioned. I thought I was connecting with accounting to have them draw up new invoices to the client for the past due amount. I don't recall a credit being mentioned as an additional part of connecting with them. I can send the case over now if you provide me with the details of what should be included in the case. I also don't have access to small business accounts in CEH, which is our program that we use to access different companies and send a case over for that she goes. The SR or service request would have mentioned the involved and impacted clients and accounting would have corrected there's an SR in side-by-side side-by-side God damn it in small business. That will be sent to accounting to issue credits to the client.
Speaker 1:I said, all right, after I read that. It doesn't like in my mind. It doesn't sound like there's anything you need me to do, so what the fuck? So I said all right, is there anything I need to do, or is this to be handled by their new account manager? At this point I'm trying to understand my role in this. At the moment she goes as long as the major's client is good, then there's no further action needed. I said, okay, just wanted to make sure. Thank you for letting me know the misstep. I do appreciate your time and efficiency on this. I hope you have a great rest of your day. And she didn't fucking answer me, because that is a professional. Go fuck yourself, because you've just wasted so many hours of my day with this drama which could have been sent as an FYI. And I fucking sent this.
Speaker 1:I fucking screenshotted this conversation that I had with her yesterday to my old manager, and he even agreed with me and that's very few and far between. So basically what he said is I was like oh my God, let me see. I said, boss, tell me how that rep reached out to me again asking me about the credit from those two clients that shared a bank account. I had a whole convo with her about it, just for her to tell me that I don't have to do anything else with it and he goes LOL in caps. He goes today question mark and then he said new roles Sorry. I said yeah today. I was like this can't be.
Speaker 1:She was trying to say that she told me to create a case for a credit to the small business client. I was like, if you did tell me that, then I misunderstood because I was under the impression that I was speaking with accounts receivable to get new invoices. I don't ever being I don't recall ever being told about a credit, which is true because, like I said earlier, if I'm asked to do something, I do it. Okay, I do shit that I'm asked to do, whether or not I want to do it. I didn't want to be talking to this bitch. I did not want to help this bitch. I didn't even want to help her yesterday. Okay, I don't want to help her yesterday. And she got me out here looking all foolish and shit trying to do Nancy Drew and like bending the knee for her. Foolish and shit, trying to do Nancy Drew and like bending the knee for her. So she'll shut the fuck up and the end result is that I didn't need to do anything. So that's even worse. So after I said that to him.
Speaker 1:He was like absolutely facts, why would you ever create a case for a small business client? I said exactly this. And he said small business should be handling their client. I said so she like screenshot me saying I speak with accounting but couldn't find where she told me to submit a case on a client, on a credit. I said I'm just going to show you the screenshot. So I sent him both because it wasn't that long of a conversation, but her tone is absolutely ridiculous. Um, I told him I was like I legit just wanted her to tell me word for her word where she wants me to go with this. And then he even screenshot part of the conversation.
Speaker 1:Like he screenshot the screenshot, inception screenshot and goes why would you reach out then in all caps with like question marks and then all caps, why would you reach out then? And I said in all honesty, why did she bother me? I'm like she made a whole drama this morning to end it with that. And he goes that's my biggest pet peeve. If you need something, be up front with it and if you're just giving me the FYI, say that if you're not going to ask me for anything in caps, the FYI part, hey, fyi, I thought this happened. No worries on your end, thank you. Like okay, cool, it makes sense. And I was like this was at least an hour waiting on her to answer, also thinking everything is fine because she took forever to answer, and it was just crazy.
Speaker 1:And then we had another client who's still playing with these fucking invoices and I told them I was like bro, neither of us are working with your, with this client, anymore. Like, go away, bruh, go away. And then, of course, so, speaking of shit that's going on with my ex clients, I had to fucking reroute so many emails yesterday. I'm washing this blanket Cause it's probably why I got sick. Sister was coughing all over it.
Speaker 1:So I was fucking, um, I had to deal with a client who decided that she was gonna she was gonna try and play me to my team. My co-worker, like my co-workers, don't know how I work. You know what I'm saying. Like my co-workers know that I do what I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do it. So the fact that she goes well, she was helping me with a Roth thing and then just dipped out. Oh no, she said I peaced out. Bitch, I didn't peace out. You don't fucking answer me. What do you mean, bitch? What do you mean? Like, I messaged her and she takes a week to answer me. So I closed shit out. I closed shit out, I closed shit out and I peaced out. Of course I peaced out. You know why I peaced out? Because I'm not your account manager anymore. I'm not holding onto any dead weight. Okay, I'm onto bigger and better things. I'm floating Like Pennywise. We all float here, bitch.
Speaker 1:So I was talking to Allison, my coworker this morning, and we were talking about her. Her name's Kelly, the client, not doxing with the last name, speaking to Kelly, speaking about Kelly, and I was like you know what? She's funny for that? Because she don't answer shit, this, that and the third. So then I was discussing.
Speaker 1:I had had a conversation with her one day. I was working on a 401k thing with her and I'm not really paying attention to whatever she's rambling in my ear. So she goes. Um, she goes. Ooh, I don't want to get too personal, cause I was telling her you know, child, um, having a child is going to be in my soon future, I hope. Um, excuse me, in my immediate future. I'm hoping.
Speaker 1:Um, I was telling her about, you know, trying whatever. And she goes. What did she say to me? She said, oh, you know what helped me. She goes. Oh, I hope this isn't going to get too personal. And I'm like, I'm like clickety, clacking away on the keyboard. I said to her that we've been through enough together. Just go for it. She goes. I hope this isn't too graphic or anything. I'm like, nah, we've been in the trenches, we've been working through so much together. Just tell me she goes. You know what helped me get pregnant? And I was like what? She goes? A handstand.
Speaker 1:I was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, like that, like whoa buddy, like, first of all, it's not graphic unless you make it graphic. And it got graphic really quick because naked handstands, bitch, naked handstands. Okay, that's crazy. That's crazy and funny Cause I was trying to figure out how would she think this would go. Oh, this is where it got graphic, okay, but I was like yeah, no, I mean, I'm not. I like giggled with her, but I was like, yeah, no, we're good. I'm like we worked with each other almost every other day, every other hour. I feel like we know each other way too well to play this stupid noble holds bar shit. So that was like the craziest conversation I ever had with her. And then of course you know I'm laughing because I told Allison that and she laughed and I said, bro, I like stopped in my tracks, forgot what I was doing, almost forgot my name for a second, like I was like.
Speaker 1:This lady did not just tell me subtly that after her and her man did the, did the tango um, did the, did the tango Um, she fucking would do a handstand to make sure that you know the things got where they needed to be. That's hilarious. Could you imagine trying to fucking a handstand Not that she did that, I'm just I'm moving away from that. Do you imagine trying to fucking a handstand and then just be chilling just in silence, like, okay, blood rushing to the head, and just pass out? Imagine you just pass out and then you wake up like nine months later did it work? And you just hear in the background it worked, but you went into a coma afterwards. A coma afterwards, oh shit, that's crazy. Oh man, how about those fucking ladies who were, um, those comatose women who were getting like sexually assaulted and like becoming pregnant? How fucking crazy was that? Does anyone remember that? Hold up, I got to see when's the most recent thing there was of that. Because that that shit blew my mind. I was like, ew, please don't ever let me go into a coma. That's disgusting. Okay, hold up. Yeah, fucking nasty bruh. This was in Phoenix, hold up.
Speaker 1:It's a story that shook the valley years ago and now, for the first time, we're seeing video from inside Hacienda Healthcare. Back in 2018, after a patient in a vegetative state had an unexpectedly given birth, especially since no one knew she was pregnant. Eventually, investigators arrested a nurse who worked at Hacienda Nath in Sutherland and would later be convicted in court of sexual assault. Before it seemed like an eternity, staff and the patient's family had no idea who could have raped the victim. One of Arizona's family sources from inside Hacienda has also revealed more details than ever before. You can see in the video, it's a chaotic and emotional scene inside Hacienda Healthcare On that December night. Christmas decorations were still up to spread joy while unexpected terror unfolded, and when I looked it was an inaudible I guess the baby coming. A nurse tells an officer on the body camera video.
Speaker 1:Phoenix police and other law enforcement officers responded to the care facility after nurses called 911 when their patient gave birth to a baby boy who, at first was not breathing. A former employee and longtime Arizona family resource remembered what happened with the staff member who first discovered the victim in labor. When she opened the diaper there was a head and that poor aid didn't work for a month. She was so distraught, so traumatized by the whole thing. Video also shows Phoenix police officers trying to determine who had access to the room All of her medical records, primary care physicians, nurses, visitor logs, tracking.
Speaker 1:About nine months back, only female care nurse. A Phoenix police officer asked a staff member only female care only. And nurse told the officer okay, so no males ever go into her room. Allegedly no, a staff member said. But we now know one of the nurses one of her nurses, nathan Sutherland, was the rapist convicted of sexually assaulting her after the baby's DNA matched his. Our source explained that the caregivers were all women, but not other staff. When they say caregivers, they're talking about people who bathe you and dress you and feed you, but the nurse is something different. That's on a different level. The nurse gives out medications and stuff like that, jesus Christ, the former employee said. Not one person suspected Sutherland, so much so there was relief he was working in the days after what happened. This was before it was revealed who he was. One of the parents approached him one night and said I'm so glad you're working tonight. I know my child is always safe when you're here. Fucking heartbreaking bro. The employee we spoke with has struggled with the deceit from someone they all worked with and trusted and has even considered reaching out to him in prison. I have thought so many times about writing Nate and seeing if he would write me back to the former employee. Oh God, nathan Sutherland pled guilty two years ago to two felony charges of abusing and sexually assaulting the patient. It was sentenced to 10 years in prison, where he remains. The victim's family attorney told Arizona's family the baby boy will be five years old December and is walking and talking, but that he's still too young to know about what transpired. As for the boy's mom and the victim, the family attorney said she's healthy and lives in a different care facility.
Speaker 1:Jesus, fucking Christ, man, oh, how disgusting people are, so disgusting. This is why I don't read the news. This is why I just don't be watching the news, like adults watch the news and all they have is bad shit to say. That's it. That's all adults do. They fucking I should say older adults because I am an adult kind of I function. I guess Unsupervised is very, I guess, unsafe for me. I feel like like who, let me be an adult, I can't. I feel like like who let me be an adult? Um, I can't, I can't fuck with the news. My grandmother this is a perfect example. My grandmother in this family chat she never has nothing nice to say and it's because she watches the news and I'm like well, you know why don't you watch the 800 DVR shows from the seventies you have from the game show network, instead of this bullshit Like, just watch something else. Lady, you have like so many different channels. She is one of the only people I know who still has cable.
Speaker 1:I have cable because I don't have a choice. It comes with my unit. If I had a choice, I would have better internet over fucking cable. I think I've already said this I don't watch nothing on that cable box. You know what I watch on the cable box, what time it is. That's what I'm looking at. When I look at that cable box, I want to know what time it is. I don't care about nothing else with that TV, with that cable box, but in any case, let's, let's find something funny to fucking end on, because I don't want to end on that shit.
