So life is going ok


Hola.
So I really like making videos, I'll probably make a video of my amazzzing sixflags voyage which will be taking place in a couple of days, right now.. i've been swamped with work which is cool because I do need a way to pay for books next semester.

I was going to make another video blog but I feel kinda icky because I just got off work and I'm a little sweaty in the sort of way that would stick you to the fake leather interior of a jet black sedan.

I'm sure you needed to know that.

My day went by pretty intensely.

An elderly man decided to raise his voice to me because an item he believed to be buy one get one free turned out to be full price.

"Um sir. Where did you see the sign that says 'Buy one get one free'?" I ask in the politest way I could manage.

"It was right next to the vitamins!" He shouted, the fire's in his eyes and the words are really clear.

"I'm sorry sir, but that sign goes to a different product..." I pointed to the item which was a laxative, "Is this the item you would like?"

By this time there was a lot of customers waiting in line, I called for a second checker but I really wanted to say, "This is my message to you, the customers are linin' up, we're bringin' brighter days. They're all in line, waitin' for you. Can't you see?"

But I didn't, instead I just smiled as he began his tirade of how I should honor the sign even though it was clearly not for his product and I should be ashamed for offering him a laxative.

I apologized and smiled and rang the other items and bid him "Have an amazing day!"
I tell myself,
Don't try to fight it,
There ain't nothin' you can do,
Relax your mind, lay back and groove

So tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
and just enjoy yourself

Toodles. =)

Extra helpings

So, In a previous post, I was worrying about getting laid off from work.
Well... the tide has turned, in a most tumultuous way. (I really like the world tumultuous, it's pretty magical. Anywho)

Our staff sheet went from the length of Santa's beard to the length of the creepy flesh colored beard of Spencer from The Hills.
So very sad.
Because the staff sheet has been cut, I'm getting MORE hours. More hours than I think I can handle.
I really don't want to fail my college classes. Especially chemistry. I hate chemistry so much.

I guess I'll spend Thanksgiving getting ready to dive into my chemistry book.
Aww, chemistry and turkey, a very good combination.
