Nope! You did okay, Wolfwood. So how do you feel today? Hope you drank enough water last night.

Hungover, but feel amazingly relaxed. Like a hazy dream.... - I can't think and I like it.

Yet to watch Waking Life, time I gave it a go. Seems everyone pretty much enjoys it.

Inject complaint: my fingers and tongue hurt for some reason.

My uncle is an absolute piece of shit of a human A fortnight ago, one of the chefs at the restaurant we own's family member passed away. Ever since he has been back, needless to say, he has been pretty spacey. My uncle comes home complaining that the chef done virtually no work - if he didn't cook fast enough, my uncle would have to do everything. He also continues on saying he has parents too, and they also passed away, etc etc etc. Come on dude.. really? The chef's FATHER passed away. Have you considered the chef actually has compassion for his parents unlike you? Really now.
This guy also dribbles absolute shit. I really find that more shit comes out of his mouth than I am will to bet comes out of his backside. On a similar note, we are renovating our house - putting tiles in throughout the house and putting in a new kitchen. Which means our old kitchen has been torn out as well as a shit storm of smoke throughout the house for the first few days. Having no kitchen, we can't cook from home. Mother has been working at home moving and packing stuff to certain parts of the house while the other parts get tiled. Not once does my uncle offer to bring food back from the restaurant or anything like that at all.
How am i related to this guy?

Time for a massive rant on being a cashier. I've been working at woolworths for about six months now, and I've just about fucking had it. Here we go!

1. Control your children.
Chances are, if you're under ten, cashiers fucking hate you. Stop opening the loading area! It's not fucking narnia, and I really don't see why doing this for a good ten minutes, while I attempt to place bags onto the area, is so amusing. Look, I don't want to hear about why you have a cut, or why I should become an astronout, or any other random shit you're planning on bombarding me with. There are very nice children! Don't get me wrong, sometimes they're nicer and more intresting than adults, but it's very rare. This brings me to my next subject; adults.

2. I'm a human being.
I'm not sure what's up with people these days, but apparently, it's everyone's mission to make people's lives difficult. I'm a normal person, just like you! Please don't abuse me because the item you wanted was priced wrong, I didn't do that. Please don't tell me I must have scanned it wrong. I didn't. Please don't sware at me when YOUR card is out of funds, I purchased everything I own with my own money. And trust me, I know you think you're tough, but the truth is, I could fucking shred you up. I could own you so bad verbally it's not funny. You're stupid! I have a combat to every insult you can throw at me, and thousands of perfect slanders I could use on you. You know why I don't? I want my job. So, be aware that you're just making a fellow human beings life difficult, because you're an asshole! (Not saying you, by using the word "you" just for people in general, who behave like this)

3. Unload your basket.
I get $10 dollars an hour. To put this in propotion, I need to work ten hours, to get $100. That's about what I earn a week. That's not that much. Please don't make my job anymore difficult than it is. It's common manners to unload your basket. It's really hard to reach over the counter, take a single item, scan it, place it in a bag, and repeat this process about twenty times. Also keep in mind that I can't pack bags as efficiently as I could if I had access to all the items in a situation where you unloaded the basket. So I hope your eggs have fun getting the shit crushed out of them by that two kilogram can of peaches you bought.

4. Get off your phone!
"Can you do a price check on these?"
"Can you tell me if this is the one on special."
How would you react if I totally ignored you? You'd flip your shit, wouldn't you. So understand how I feel whilst you give me a shocked look when I attempt to ask you something, because you're to busy on the phone. I'm quite happy to leave you to converse with your friend, as much as possible. But I need to communicate with you at times, to ask how you're paying, or what account you were using. Don't act like it's an important call either. If you use the phrase "Yeh brah, I'll get the beer when I finish shopping" Chances are you're talking to your dying grandmother.

5. Don't flip out when I ask you about a rewards card, or other promotional item or card.
It's my job, I have to, under risk of getting fired.

6. Don't bitch about the way I pack bags.
Nearly nobody has a problem with how I pack, even elderly people (the pickiest of the lot) praise me. So don't bother attempting to tell me that I'm terrible at packing, simply because I put an apple with your cans, because I have to save bags. I'm a cashier, we don't have emotions. 'Nuff said.

7.If you want to change a product, or don't want it, use your mouth to alert me!
Please tell me when you want to put back an item, I'm not sure why you've suddenly decided to leave it now, but that's fine! I understand. Just tell me, don't leave it at the end of the conveyer belt, and then pretend it's not yours. I watched you put it there! You know what I have to do then? I have to go pick it up, and give it to my manager. While the customer behind you waits, and then I have to deal with them being pissed off because of it! Give me the product so I can simply call a supervisor over to put it back, or get off your arse and do it yourself! Simple as that!

8. Personal Hygiene
You smell really bad. That's the only way to put it. The personal care aisle is right there, it cost $1 fucking dollar for a homebrand deoderant roll, that will last you a month! I don't get paid enough to have to hold my breath, for the length of your transaction. I understand if you've came back from the gym, but it's the same people everytime. Please!

9. Compulsive whistlers.
Singing, whistling, and humming, will personally garauntee you a "go fuck yourself" stare from every cashier on earth. Just stop, we're not a music store, and I don't want to listen to you sing country. Once again, simple as that.

And last but not least, lucky number ten;
10; Put the divider down!
Seriously, I'm not psychic. And if I do accidently pick the other person's shopping up, just politely inform me. Don't freak out, it's no big deal. Don't look at the next customer in line, and shake your head in a dissaproving manner towards me. I will climb over my fucking counter and beat you to death with the divider. Just kidding, I can't do shit while I'm at work T_T

Anyway, that concludes my list, cbf writing anymore, pretty much vented now.
I know this sounds pedantic and picky, but it's really just a matter of common sense and manners. There are some amazing people who come through your checkout, but the majority are dickheads :/
Remember that you can turn a cashier's day into a really great one, just by being polite. Peace out

What people don't realize is this is our jobs. We do the things we do for a reason, the same way they do at their jobs.

A pet peeve of mine is people who think they are special. I dunno if you get this yuppie, but while working as a computer tech, I see this all the time. People who think they are better than everyone else. Realistically ,unless you're will to A) Act nice, B) Shut up about how you need this to show you're parents pictures of cats before they leave in 2 weeks. C) Not bitch about the 3-5 day wait, where as in other stores it's a 2-3 week wait. Them maybe I'll consider working on your computer as soon as I can, instead of waiting 3 days before I even decide to look at it. Unless you're a business, and you absolutely cannot work without this computer, Shut up, I don't care. You're like everyone else. Wait. If you didn't "need this shit right now", then maybe you shouldn't have watched all that goddamned bondage porn on your computer before your parents came down.

For the record. I'm not quoting any one of my experiences with computers. I'm just making this up to get my point across. Moral of the story is be nice to the people you are buying stuff off of. Don't get mad at them, it's not their fault. They are the "front men" they do what they are told, and you are putting unneeded stress on them for something they can't change. You may complain that "This product sucks" and think, "ok that's it, after I leave it's not my problem, I let that guy know and everything will work out" Cause no. it won't. "front men" have no power, and they hear this a million times a day, and they truly do not care.



I have no idea why I wrote this all out, lol. Like yuppie, I think I needed to get this out. Especially after the past few days.

No motivation! All I want to do is sit on the couch and play my lame RPGs.

Should go to the gym, go grocery shopping, then go biking... and I want to do all those things. But it seems like I want to not do anything more.

The TAs, or whoever the hell is in charge of the activities in Chemistry lab can be so full of shit!

The IA, she's one of those bitches that just needs to get fucked already. I mean, she does have a heavy role in managing things, but at least don't make these activities and quizzes where we have to google instead of using the lab manual as a studying tool. You want everything out of us, and yet you are using previous documents to try and be efficient when you're only fucking things over for us. It's no wonder I can barely get a freaking A in this class, not even a B!!!!

This was supposed to be an EASIER version than Chemistry 111, MUCH EASIER, and how they are just being a bunch of bitches with not synching in properly with what we're supposed to do.

Is college built like this so no mater WHAT you do, and no matter how LONG you try, you can't reach perfection? And they have the mentality that you should at least be near it? Are you kidding me? Just............SUCK A DICK YOU BITCH! Making this shit difficult than it should be.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to go against women, if it was a male, I would have been just as pissed off. And because she has had several qualms with my TA, I think she grades our shit even harder, because there's no way that our TA can write properly. When I give him this paper to sign in for lab data, his signature is like "FASDAHJFKDASHJDFHJADKFHJDH"

You useless piece of shit, you can barely spew proper English, and speak so quietly that I have to close my ears only to get fasdkgjdfkjagkdflgfjdklgdjikgjkgjfk

Why are you my Chemistry lab TA.....and god...the fucking practical that is coming two weeks from now.....the fact that this TA just stands around and goes "HERP DERPA HERP HERP" all the time makes me speculate if his competence is going to help him sustain a role as a TA for the next bunch of undergraduates who will grow to hate him even more for his adlskfgjflvkgdgkjfk......

And when we did an evaluation on him online in lab, one of the queries asked if the TA was helpful and improved my knowledge of the course....





PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT FUCK YOU.





I HATE it when we get some fresh meat for labs.........I WANT SOMEONE EXPERIENCED, even though those are the ones that are bitchy, AT LEAST that type of mentality forces us to remember a lot more concepts than those who are passive and considered "cool" because of it.

I just.....I can't even.............how am I going to get a fucking A in any of these labs??? Fuck.....what the fuck do I have to do now? Cut my dick off or something!?!?!?


Here I am talking shit behind the IAs and TAs for this Chemistry lab course, but you know what? If you're going to be condescending pricks and not try to establish some form of enthusiasm when we need help, FUCK YOU AND BURN IN HELL.

However, I wasn't running on 4 hours of sleep + old Chinese takeout. When you add physical activity to that equation, you're asking for a bad time!

Usually by the END of summer I am in good enough shape for 11 miles to my cousin's and 11 miles back, but this was my second ride of the year >.< I'm in "winter" shape (which is turrible).

And I'm pretty sure now that it wasn't asthma, now it feels like I eternally have a really big piece of food stuck in my throat; so either it's ulcers (not fun) or I legitimately have something stuck in my throat. Either of those makes sense to me right now. GAAAHHHH (Or I'm allergic to something and my throat is swelling up. Probably not good.)

Just bodge jobbed my own curry, and it tastes like crap. Spent a bloody hour on that thing.

It's the middle of the night, i'm very tired but i cant sleep. Why? There is a NIGHT CLUB right under the hotel room.
Who. The. Hell. Puts. A. NIGHT. CLUB. Under. A. HOTELROOM?!?!? :@

Link has very...colorful metaphors.

I'm tired of the noise.

Now, I'm not talking the noise from the TV, or the kids, both of which need their own rant. No, I mean the noise outside.

I live in a big city, so some noise is expected, like early in the morning when I can hear cars going over the seams in the freeway two miles away, or the cars going by with increasing frequency on the street I live on.

But now, not a weekend goes by that my days aren't filled with noise from my neighbors. And you know what? It's not limited to the weekends. For six days now I have been listening to the neighbor cut tile for some flooring project (I assume) and the sound of the saw drowns out all conversation when outdoors, and penetrates indoors as well. If the air conditioner wasn't on right now I would still be listening to it.

Now, if that was all, I could probably get by. But the noise doesn't end there. This is the same neighbor where crews spent 11 days powerwashing the house. Yeah, that's right, they powerwashed the house. And the walls around the house. And the roof, and the driveway, and possibly the trees...

But again, even this isn't all.

The city has been tearing up the roads in the area for the last three years. It began when they replaced all the water pipes to replace them with new ones, the intention being to increase the pressure. The project began during a drought. When the rains came, the soil shifted and nearly all the joints have had to be replaced due to massive leaks, some of which have shot water 40 feet into the sky.

The last two days AT&T was outside, operating a machine of questionable nature, and doing something underground.

At the beginning of the week the city was purging the sewer pipes, and using the Super-Vac truck to suck up gunk. This lasted all day long, and where did the truck park? Right outside my living room.

The neighbor's clients parking and walking through my yard, the stupid crossing guard yelling to his buddy in Spanish at 6:58 in the morning (Hey, PACO!!!), the constant stream of people, dogs, and machines, it's all getting to me.

I want a break from the noise. The constant noise.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the benefits of all the services I receive, and the hard work of many.

I just want a weekend where I don't have to be assaulted with 80-100dB of teeth-shaking noise.

And maybe a nice drink...something fruity, with lots of alcohol in it.

This may seem random, but when I went to a lecture for my Sociohorticuture elective class, if you have some trees or some kind of elevated type of greenery, it can help with noise reduction. I don't know why, but it has to do with the how plants exhibit certain processes like photosynthesis etc.

It's probably with air and how it moves in a city that's pretty spacious, and having plants and/or tree can help reducing the spacious flow. But eh, just wanted to tell you that.

More likely it's just that I live at the corner of a T-intersection, so city trucks all park outside my house to work on the pipes, the sewer, or the power/cable lines, because all of these things intersect outside my house.

As for my neighbors....well...they just suck.

I have as much green as I can on this property, including a dense bamboo forest that I never wanted, courtesy of the previous neighbor who thought it would be a good idea to plant it along the property line.

Asses.

omg 2 dozen tornadoes reported in Kansas, October Wind is in that area right now D:
WHY IS IT THIS DARK AT 5:30pm!

</3 baby come back, you can blame it all on me.

Looks like Des Moines is about to get some heavy storms.

Wish they were here instead. It wouldn't be so...bad if it was here.

D : are you a... tornado wizard?

^ Where in PA are you (if you don't mind me asking)? I'm on the east coast, in the lehigh valley. And Agalloch is awesome.

While riding today, I hit some thorn branches. Normally, I might just get a quick prick or a little scratch. But this particular branch got me good. Four "needles" actually stuck in my arm. So as I was riding, my arm started bringing the branch with (this jabbed the thorns in deeper). By the time I realized this and was about to stop moving, the already did their damage and broke leaving just the stubs for me to pull out.

Little buggers hurt!

Sorry, it was an example. It was meant to be more of a porn related thing, but in my mini rage, I sorta blew it out of proportion.

what? nothing wrong with a little bandaid porn.
