Not Cool

[synapticjava]

Not cool:
1. Christmas Break. My BF is gone for 15 more days. Ugh.

2. Christmas Muzak. God please make it stop.

3. Biff. Nuff said.

4. Carmelites. Man, I thought Lake Foresters were bad...at least they were sometimes intelligent. These people are just rich white trash. Sometimes it's amusing, though. I give to you an actual conversation with a soccer mom (seriously, could not have been older than 30) from the end of my shift today:
her: "No, I want an mp3 player."
me: "Okay, here's our selection."
her: "But these are not iPods."
me: *blink* "um...you're right?"
her: "but I just said I wanted an mp3 player. you told me you have them."
me: "Um. We do. This is our selection."
her: "Where? I don't see any iPods."
me: "again...you're not wrong. but this is what we have."
her: "so do you have them or not"
me: "we have mp3 players...we do not carry iPod, though"
her: "oh...they're not called iPods?"
me: "an iPod is a make and model of mp3 player made by apple. we do not carry them."
her: "oh. what's the most expensive one you carry, then?"
me: *hands her a $400 piece of plastic crap and a replacement warranty brochure* "this is "best" one we carry."
her: "oh I won't need a replacement program - they're gifts, so if they break, they break. but I'll take three of these iPods."
me: "um...great. i'll meet you at the register with them"
her: "okay. wait. do these play music?"
me: *headdesk*

5. A night o' nightmares. No really. I can remember at least 5 different nightmares from last night. One of which involved a giant squid in my bed that pretty much tore me apart and ate me when I rolled over. Squishy strong tentacles. Naturally I got tangled up in my bedsheets at the same time, so when I woke up screaming, I kept screaming because I thought it was real. Fun times. Incidentally, today I look and feel like CRAP.

Oh my goodness. I think there were twin moons of retail INSANITY shining over Iowa and Texas tonight. I have several stories comparably bad but that "iPod" thing is perhaps the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I hope you hired someone to follow her to her SUV, punch her in the back of the head, and take all the excess money she clearly doesn't know how to spend properly.

*sigh* I did not.

But thinking about that makes me laugh.

I heart you, Cassandra. I heart you hard.

I ♥ you too, Brad! Should I go apply for an assistant-manager job at this maternity store in the mall where I work? The store manager gave me her card tonight, told me she's recruiting, and said I provide good customer service so I should check it out. Should I check it out? Make my life decisions for me, plz.

I'd say if they're offereing you a ton more money, go for it. If it's only a little bit - unless it's a huge hours boost - it's pretty much not worth it. Management's pretty easy in retail. Fill out some reports, keep the customers happy, boom you're done. So in short: yes. At least check it out.

Decision made. Next.

Sweet. You don't want to let me sneak a peak at your resume, do you?

Hrmmm....I suppose. *exasperated sigh* ;) Of course, anything for the almighty Cassandra!

Not very good though, apparently, because...you know. Still where I'm at. But it's here:
