(After going through the pitch with a nice Print/Scan/Copy/Fax that weighs about as much as I do and retrieving it from the top level on a not-so-sturdy ladder, lugging it to the front of the store…upon asking if she needed a USB cable for it…) “But that doesn’t fit in my computer.” “Yes it does, [...]
This is just a list of some of the things I encounter. I’m not even going to comment on them because I don’t have to.
“How do I turn this on?”
“I thought computer viruses were biological, like other ones.”
“+Points to a computer (just the tower).+ I need to buy this internet.”
(From someone claiming to have [...]
I haven’t posted since my first week here in Pennsylvania. Oops. Thirteen and a half weeks in to living here, things are peachy. I’m glad our local laundromat has a Mega-Touch machine. I hate waiting for things to dry… I look forward to having my own washer and dryer again, as well as a functioning [...]
I don’t feel like writing a huge tl;dr type post right now, so I’ll try to keep it brief.
On March 23, there was a misunderstanding over a plate of food at work [it was cooked dark, but I said it was okay and that I'd see what the customer would like--if they'd have it or [...]
I assume all restaurants work this way, because all the ones I’ve heard of do, but if not, I’ll explain rotation anyway. Basically, it is just the “system,” or order by which customers or groups are sat in order to maintain both fairness in terms of money-making but to make sure that no one is [...]
On Veterans Day [so Tuesday prior to the one that just passed], I was sat a deaf gentleman and .. hm, I don’t care to assume, but it could have been his mother, wife, just a friend…I really have no idea who wasn’t deaf and I suppose could have helped. He can read lips and [...]
Another rant, as per my usual.
Let me preface this that there is a writer for my local newspaper who ridicules the part of workforce that relies on tips [eg: waiters!] because he himself is notorious for being an ass in such establishments, and people who have waited on him have gotten fed up and called [...]
Now this is the *real* post concerning money and its effects on whatever.
So as soon as I got this job back, my dad, instead of coming and talking to me about it, just decided to be an obnoxious little prick and bitch about me to my mother. Apparently I’m expected, now, to shell out for [...]
So I’ve been filling out a maddening amount of applications, both online and on paper. Unfortunately, our vehicle is…moody, and I haven’t been able to turn in the paper ones yet. >.<
For those of you who generally haven’t experienced the wonder that is the online application process for most places [in which a seventeen-year-old could [...]
Otakon 2008 was a great success. It raked in 26,500+ people [I can't remember the specific figure]. Otakon 2009 has been scheduled for July 17-19th and will be held, of course, in Baltimore, Maryland, at the illustrious B(altimore)C(onvention)C(center).
There was lots of Caramelldansen-ing. Lots. In the car on the way there, in the snazzy hotel room, [...]
