Asshats

They were at my mercy.

Yesterday morning before retiring to my bed to slumber I had some interesting phone calls that were left on the answering machine. Apparently I was supposed to start my cashier training yesterday, on my day off… First the trainer called wondering why I wasn’t at work, then my boss who wrote my schedule called telling me I was late (what a laugh), and then about 30 minutes later she called again telling me there was some sort of “scheduling conflict” and that I “was right for not coming in” and “if I could, come in ASAP for training” which I then proceeded to raise my middle finger up to the ceiling, make a pot of tea, and promptly went to sleep. They want me to come in and clean up their mistake? Fuck them.

When I did wake up in the afternoon though I called about a half hour after the training ended for the day (because timing is everything) and they told me that I have my regular schedule back and will have to be rescheduled for the training which can take some time. I’ll have to thank my boss for the most epic fuckup ever witnessed. This buys me some time to write more applications to other places. I even managed to get a hair appointment in finally. Today was just a really, really good day.

The Overlord is on the warpath again.

I was approached yesterday afternoon by my boss. According to her I will be trained to be a backup cashier, which I have written in the past about declining… constantly. My opinion hasn’t changed on the matter, in fact it’s been getting worse. They’ve been cutting people back even further to the point that the entire store is a skeleton crew. So somehow everyone becoming cashier trained will fix this…?

I already told her that I would be putting in my notice, but having gotten home tonight to think things through I decided that was a little bit much. I’ll talk with her tomorrow, give her some choices. If I get trained I’ll stop working with them and become a pure cashier. At least long enough until another job comes along. I’ll be picking up some job applications tomorrow before work.

Considering I’ve worked there for 7 years and am only making ten cents above minimum wage… what have I got to lose?

These in game items will cost you your first born child… and second.

Hmmmm, next time I want to buy hats in TF2 I might just have to pop out some babies and sell them on the Chinese market.

A young unmarried couple in China are accused selling not one, but two of their children to human traffickers. The money they got was used for gaming.

The first son was an accident, the second one seems to have been planned specifically:

The mother got pregnant again, and, in an interview, explained that the father “likes buying items in online games, and he likes staying out all night at internet cafes.” Because the couple was apparently using their money for the father’s gaming, the parents then allegedly sold their second son to traffickers to avoid a financial burden.

It’s rather sad as well as mind boggling that they would go through all the trouble just to purchase in game items. Basically the mother allowing herself to become a baby factory just to honor her husband’s gaming habits. Sickening.

What a day…

My attempt to sleep last night was met with failure due to some aches and pains. I only managed to sleep between moments when the painkillers did their dirty work. So for my first day back I was already exhausted.

Then afternoon hits and while I’m on my first break I heard there was an accident in our parking lot (and later on I heard it was on the crosswalk in front of the store so I’m not sure which location it happened in). Apparently a pedestrian got hit by a car, and from the sound of it the person in the car didn’t even stop because they really wanted that parking space. To make matters worse they blamed the pedestrian for not moving fast enough… An ambulance arrived on scene to take the poor guy away, but it was too late. We got a call back stating that he didn’t even make it to the hospital, he died not long after the accident. If all of this is true then this is downright manslaughter and hopefully this asshat gets their just desserts. It’s pretty sad that some people value a parking space or an object over the life of a living person. How we’ve fallen as a society.

Then I passed an asshole I didn’t really want to talk to (not to me but to people I do care about). But on the brightside I got off work early, but I couldn’t call home because our answer machine wasn’t working. So I ended up cruising the web waiting for a ride. I would have walked but it was pissing down rain and I didn’t want my laptop to get wet.

The first thing I did when I got home was jump into some PJ’s, make some berry tea and boot up Linux. I just finished eating a very bacon oriented dinner and now I’m contemplating some rest to make up for what I lacked today. Sleep away the terrible things and try to move in a more positive direction.

The United Racists and special snowflakes of America

We’ve been playing Mexican music at work every other song as part of a Mexican food promotion, and it’s interesting because it has annoyed certain people. To an extent it annoys me because a lot of the songs are the same with not much variety, but to one lady I helped today she felt it was unamerican to play such music, and when I tried to lightly jest that “Well, America is the worlds melting pot” she blurted out “Next we’ll be playing Iraq music”. I promptly shut up. It would be funny if we were promoting middle eastern food after this though. 😛 It would be such karma.

Then I had a woman show me her friends ass on her smartphone when trying to locate a particular pair of underwear that we didn’t even carry. It was halfway down her ass. She also screamed a lot and on top of that she kept throwing things down on the ground. Her friend looked rather embarrassed and kept saying “Lets go home I’m tired of shopping”.

Oh, I probably won’t be around later today. After I get home I’ll have to wind down and hit the rack early so I get go to work for an early shift. They’re making sure I’m exhausted before my vacation starts.

Special Snowflakes in May

As planned there were a bunch of customers and hardly anyone around. I have to say I got the nice tourists tonight. After closing though I passed some guy who was complaining that he wanted to go inside to buy batteries after we’ve already been closed and claimed that it was bad business to not let him in… and that he should be let in since there is already a line. I love people and their first world problems.

Speaking of first world problems I’m sure quite a few have already heard about that virgin dude who got upset about how women didn’t throw themselves at his feet.

He’s handsome but damn that attitude is just disgusting. Calling yourself “the perfect gentlemen”, “the perfect guy” etc etc is… disturbing. If you have to tell yourself you’re “the perfect guy” you have some serious problems. Enough for ladies to look at you and go “Helllll no”. Not so perfect anymore is he?

At least the parents notified the police ahead of time that he might have been up to something. But nothing really got done until 6 people got killed… I imagine if he were of another color/race things would have been nipped in the bud far sooner.

Wow, talk about a sore loser.

Have you ever been so pissed off at losing a multiplayer game that you call in a SWAT team? You should probably have your computer/console taken away…

Long Island police dispatched helicopters, emergency vehicles and an army of cops to a home where someone called in a bloody rampage on Tuesday.

They arrived with guns drawn and ready for war — only to find out the call to cops was an act of revenge by a gamer whom the teen who lives inside had just beaten in an online Call of Duty battle.

Amazing what happens when you let children do whatever they want.

Birth Control: It’s for ladies who can’t control their vajayjays

Do you suffer from wandering vagina syndrome? No? Well, apparently some people think it’s for women who can’t control their labido.

“I think it’s time Republicans no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a ‘war on women,’” Huckabee said during a speech at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting in Washington. “The fact is the Republicans don’t have a war on women, they have a war for women, to empower them to be something other than victims of their gender.”

Yes, they want to empower the ladies… by telling them they can rule over the entire kitchen with an iron fist.

Huckabee said Democrats rely on women believing they are weaker than men and in need of government handouts, including the contraception mandate in Obamacare.

I wonder how these guys would like it if women attacked Viagra and Cialis as much as these guys attack Birth Control. Sounds like fair game to me. 😛

Huckabee said Democrats tell women “they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government.

Oh god…. when I got to Uncle Sugar when I was reading this today I almost spat tea all over my monitor. I mean, Uncle Sugar? Someone needs to make a pimped out Uncle Sam with the title “Uncle Sugar wants yo fine ass to have birth control”.

But in all seriousness why do these guys make women the centerpiece of this war? They always make it sound like the woman is the sex crazed monster and the man just kinda accidentally gets his dick stuck between her legs.

Slept in on Black Friday

I slept off a good turkey coma. Woke up today with feeling happy that I didn’t have to endure this kind of shiz:

That was all to be expected. He got kicked out because he wasn’t buying anything or attacking anyone! I like how the cops didn’t do anything either. How is this even fun?

And finally a fight over a TV…. a fucking TV.

Of course. Right now as I speak I am shopping around online for some cool deals. Unfortunately Newegg doesn’t really have anything spectacular. But I am getting some nice presents from places like World Market and Amazon. I think I’ll hit up ebay next.
