A friend I used to talk to a lot used to be some sort of teacher in a GED program. And he told me horror stories of essays on tests being written in text talk and homework assignments being written in the same. Term papers using the word lol.

It was Nightmare Fuel.

I really wish I had money to spare. But unfortunately, I don't. Odd how that works out. Feeling like I'm working all the time and never any money that isn't tied up in bills/food/etc.

I do?

The store where I work is more about family. The store owners refuse to have it open on Christmas Day and we have shortened hours on Christmas Eve. He's gotten calls asking if we're open on Christmas Day and he always says the same thing: 'I'd like to spend at least one day out of the year with my family. As would my staff. We'll be open 8am on December 26th. Have a Happy Holiday.' and then he hangs up.

Sometimes I'll use the German phrase since there's a big German population out there. It took me a while to get the pronunciation down. But no one's complained since then.

It really depends on where you work and the policies in place. I usually switch it up just so I'm not saying the same thing for a month.

I just want to say that the stores/the employees don't decide when to put merchandise out. It's the corporate offices that decide in the case of the big names like Target and Walmart. And they know that Christmas stuff will sell and it isn't perishable. So why not get it out on the shelves where people will buy it because holy crap, they're going to need it eventually?

And the cashiers are likely told to say something akin to 'Happy Holidays'. Since, yeah, we have to be PC about it lest we offend someone and ruin someone's day/make us lose a sale.

I thought this was going to be a thread about trying to send Pokemon via FedEX or UPS.

Boy, was I wrong.

It would only become an issue if she were sexually assaulted. Then what she's wearing/not wearing is the only thing anyone cares about.

holy frelling busy day at work. I like it when it's busy because the day goes by quicker. But then again I don't like it when it's so busy I can't keep up. It's the start of gun + deer hunting season and our Thanksgiving ad is running. So people are getting their turkeys and whatever they need for Thanksgiving.

I just know someone is going to ask me for capers. It happens every year. No, we do not stock capers.

Just another holiday season in retail. I got this.

So glad I don't have to worry about Lake Effect snow. I don't like hearing 'feet of snow' anymore.

Then again I've started to shake my head at the phrase 'Polar Vortex' too.

I would feel uncomfortable. I just don't like a lot of attention my way. I don't know how to react to compliments. I don't know if I'd be able to distinguish between a guy hitting on me or a guy just generally paying me a compliment. Since I've grown up in a culture that objectifies and sexualizes the female body. I don't know if the guy is being genuine or if he has an ulterior motive. And I have been conditioned from a young age to think the worst.

And what should happen if I don't acknowledge their 'compliment'? Am I simply called a '*****'? Or are they going to follow me to my destination? Are they going to drag me into a secluded alleyway? Do I need to make my keys into mini-Wolverine claws? Do I need to get my pepper spray ready? Should I get my phone out and call my girlfriend? Should I duck into the nearest store until they lose interest? What happens if they follow me into the store? Can I ask someone working there to call the police? The police are going to ask me what I'm wearing. Is the neck of my t-shirt too wide/too deep? Is it too snug fitting? Are my jeans too tight? Is it because my hair's in a ponytail? What if I need to press charges? The judge is going to make me say what I was wearing to encourage their behavior. What if, in the event of an assault, the case is thrown out because I'd be damaging their reputations because they're the stars of the college football team? What if I'm pressured to not press charges because of their reputations?

It might seem paranoid but these are the sort of thoughts that go through a woman's head when she's walking. Or at the least the thoughts that go through my head.

I see a Rinzler figure. I have the Clu one.

More sickness related whining but I'll put it behind a spoiler tag so it doesn't bother anyone.

So my fever kind of comes and goes. And it's usually around 99.3. I'm having really intense stomach cramps that seem to get worse after I eat. Even when I eat soup since that's what I had for lunch. I feel like my stomach is trying to escape through my ribcage at the moment.

I made it through 2 hours of work today before I was sent home. So I must look sick.

Nah, I think we can let her grow up this year.
She's 13 now.

He's nice to look at and he makes me happy. Shhh.

I think this is something new.
