"The customer is always right"

wrong: The customer is literally always correct, in factual matters, and cannot be disputed. correct: The customer is always right in matters of taste. If they're here to spend money and want to buy the ugliest thing you've ever seen, you must not argue them about it. correctest: In every person there are two souls locked in eternal combat - one is the disciplined, good-willed, and financially responsible one, and the other one is The Customer, who will always yearn to buy some stupid shit. Your job is to side with The Customer, and do your best Emperor Palpatine "do it" to persuade them.

[obsessingoverthisandthat]

The question only remains whether u, the worker, feel like it's worth putting in the energy into convincing the customer to buy more stupid shit when u already know that because the customer already entered the shop with the goal of buying something, they will buy something in the end regardless of whether u do anything or not and if they're just browsing no rhyme or reason will convince them anyways but their own.

The answer to that question depends on the variables of how much u get paid, how much ur manager gives a fuck and whether u personally give a fuck either regardless of the other two factors.

Doctors are like: ughhhhh. You're confusing. Come back if you die

anyway once i start my new job and the insurance kicks in, i will have more options for therapy and wont have to rely on random independent teletherapists i found online that work from home 50 miles away. not that theres anything wrong with that necessarily, im sure lots of great therapists have this kind of setup. but in ghosting situations, itd be helpful to at least have an office to call or another point of contact, so i can ask wtf happened

[h0wlcastle]

hmmm. new therapist was supposed to call me 48 minutes ago. she was on time for the intake appointment, but now nothing. not a great sign

[h0wlcastle]

still nothing. the only thing i could think of is that i got the date wrong & she meant thursday instead of wednesday. but still no call, no email, no indication that she intends to continue communicating with me at all

if i dont hear anything by next week i think its safe to say ive been ghosted. which is wild to be ghosted by a therapist lol

[probuccalfat]

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

"warm, shallow seas" is one of the most beautiful phrases in paleontology and it's everywhere... these mollusks lived in warm, shallow seas... scientists think that photosynthetic life evolved in warm, shallow seas... in that era the Earth was covered by warm, shallow seas...

I wish I was resting by an antediluvian warm, shallow sea
