The decades disappear like sinking ships but we perverse.

Oh, people. There are some I meet that I don't know if I want to punch them in the face or give them a hug because they're such a sad, miserable person that they have to take out their frustration out on everyone around them. Including sales people, you know, the worst people in the entire world.

Today at the end of my shift, I end up attempting to help this lady. Long story short, she was angry for some reason or another and wanted to talk to a manager. So, she did. I guess she was angry about out lab closing early and wanted to whine and complain, like the awesome person she must be. Only awesome people whine and complain. The manager went to see if the lab could possibly have it done. Not even 2 seconds later the lab tech stomps out of the lab, looks right at me, "Is that HER?" I almost felt bad saying yes.

The lab tech sits down in front of the lady and not so calmly explains why the lab is closing early. That she actually has a family to get home to, so no, she isn't going to stay an extra hour and a half just for her. The lady just sat there, kind of stunned someone would actually be so direct and almost mean to her.

Then she demanded the district manager's number to complain some more, and the lab tech gives her her name to give to them. I love her. I'm so sad today was her last day.

I'm not one to do many memes and I think this is actually the first one, but I like this one so I'm going to. Pictures are pretty. Stolen from soixanteetoiles!




1. I wear a Tardis key around my neck. I think this one is from the 7th doctor, since the more recent doctors have all had normal looking keys. This is a secret because I actually keep it hidden. My coworker thinks it is because I don't want people to see how much of a nerd I am, but the reason I hide it is because it is there for me and the selfish part of me doesn't want to share it with anyone.

There were two little girls at work that reminded me of my sister and I that asked me what it was, much to the dismay of their mother who I guess doesn't like them talking. I told them it was a key and since they still have the curiosity of children they asked what it was to. I just told them it was to the most magnificent thing in the entire world and they had fun trying to guess what that thing was.

2. I love yoga, but I only do the more fluid practices. The practices that you hold the poses bore me to no end.

3. I watch episodes on My Little Pony on YouTube when I've had a long day.

4. I want to move to LA and make my living off making videos on YouTube. I've never even made a video before, and I still want to do it.

5. Whenever I'm attracted to a stranger, I'll make up this elaborate love story between the two of us. Mostly out of boredom, I think. They're normally pretty crazy too, like that stuff you see in romantic comedies. I'd be an awesome writer for those.

6. I park in the back of any parking lot. My sister think this is because I'm awful at parking, which is true, but that's not why I park in the back. I just like walking.

7. Whenever I see an old person walking alone, I want to go over and give them some company. They're probably not even lonely I just hate seeing them alone. Just old people though, everyone else I don't notice.

8. I do word searches when I'm drunk. Only when I'm drunk, I don't do them sober.

9. I don't wash my clothes after each time of wearing them. Say I'm sweaty or been in them all day, then yeah, I'll wash them after wearing them once, but if all I'm doing is sitting in class for a few hours I'll just throw the clothes I was
wearing into my closet to wear again before I wash them.

10. If I buy a box of Cheez-Its I eat that whole box in one day. Every single time, so I don't buy them often.

Ahh, I almost put 9 as one of mine too! If it's not dirty or doesn't smell, I will definitely wear it more than once. I wash my jeans embarrassingly rarely.

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I'm actually the same way with my jeans or work pants. I won't admit how long I go before I wash them at times. Shirts I just have so many that I go a few weeks before I wear them again normally.

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

Exactly! "My time is so much more important than anyone else's!" It's like get off your high horse and realize that no, you're not actually more important than anyone else. It isn't the last we'll hear from her, I'm sure.

I know right. I'm really going to miss her.

[gandolforf.livejournal.com]

These secrets are charming.

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[kateywilkinson.livejournal.com]

Some customers are just annoying/horrible :/ I definitely don't miss them. People used to look down on me and assume I couldn't count change when I worked in a cafe. Used to drive me insane! But glad she seemed to have been put in her place :)

Your meme is lovely. I love the one about your necklace- its nice to have things that mean a lot to yourself, and to you alone. And ha at drunken rituals :) I think everyone has them. I may steal it and do it myself, although I'm struggling to think of 10 secrets :)

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to get out of retail. I have met some amazing people there, but then you have the people that come in and try to ruin your day in whatever way they can. I really think everyone should work retail once, because then maybe they wouldn't be such jackasses.

Yeah, it's a comfort thing. Anytime I'm upset or nervous, all I have to do is grab that necklace and I feel a little bit better.

Do it! :O I would love to read it. It took me a while to come up 10, truth be told.

9. Same!

I follow some people on YouTube who started out vlogging years ago and are now all well known and make tons of money doing it. So jealous lol

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

I know! The money would be nice, but I think it'd be fun just to talk about life in general on a daily basis. Those are my favorite videos to watch -- the ones people make daily that they don't edit or change anything. They just talk.

Video game commentary would be awesome too, but there are tons out there and I'm afraid mine would be part of the not so good end of the spectrum lol

Ugh, I hate entitled people who get angry and decided to take it out on the employee.

OMG I totally do #5 as well. I get bored and it entertains me for a few minutes at least. I do #6 as well, but because I'm still not good at parking lol. #7 as well! I just feel bad when I see them out alone or struggling to walk.

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you have to wonder if they don't have something more productive they should be doing. Maybe that's why they're so angry.

Haha, yep! It's better than just sitting there starrring off into space. Oh, old people struggling to walk breaks my heart. It really does.

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I love those people that can't call places by themselves. "I only pay for the insurance, I don't actually know what benefits I get from it, but I am going to yell at you about calling them!" Those are my favorite people, especially when they try to argue with me after I call. They also don't understand there are certain things the insurance companies can't even tell us, but oh man, we get to hear about how we aren't trying to help them.

Do it! :D

Awww the tardis key story :') So cute.

You should make a youtube video. I'd adore you. I'm certain others would too.

I relate to your No. 9

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

I normally avoid little kids, but those two little girls were so adorable. <3 I hope they come back next year and I haven't quit yet.

I may one day. I'd have to find a camera first, wonder how good the one on my phone is.

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

I wear a TARDIS key all the time, too. I think it may be the same one you do - the one with the constellation of Casterboras on the back?

[duskyn.livejournal.com]

Mine has the Seal of Rassilon on the top of it, so it's a little different. I'm a big fan of that one though too.

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

Oooh that one's cool too :) My key only comes off when I have a bath or go swimming. I guess because my partner bourght it for me too, and he lives four hours drive away so its like having something of him nearby :)
