Every time I hear this song, it makes me think about a young Valentine Morgenstern, recruiting people to the Circle.
Lyrics:
Whatever you're hiding from my eyes Whatever it takes to get you by And all of those lies that keep you clean Are really beneath your plastic wings Turn out the light that keeps us blind Holding believers under your thumb Pulling the veil over their eyes Speaking in fables With your electric halo Pray or be guilty and confused Burn all the bridges that you've used To cross any lives you fill a hole You'll say anything to keep control Turn out the light that keeps us blind Holding believers under your thumb Pulling the veil over their eyes Speaking in fables With your electric halo You don't think it's hard for me No one knows you better You don't think I'll set you free No one knows you better Turn out the light that keeps us blind Holding believers under your thumb Pulling the veil over their eyes Speaking in fables Turn out the light that keeps us blind Holding the levers under your thumb Pulling the veil over their eyes with your electric halo
Dear Human Race:
If you ever shop anywhere ever, there are some things that are not acceptable.
1. If you decide you don't want a perishable item, please don't leave it sitting on a shelf in the back of the store. That costs us money, and in turn makes prices go up.
2. Don't pile all your crap up at the register and then run off to the back of the store because you forgot an item. Seriously. It's in my way and makes it hard for me to wait on customers that shouldn't have to stand there and wait on you. Take your crap with you. Especially if it's in a cart or basket.
3. Whistling at me and waving from the other end of an aisle is not an acceptable way to get my attention because you need help. I am not a waitress. (Come to think of it, though, that's not even an acceptable way to get your wait staff's attention, either. Try being polite and not a self-centered twatwaffle.)
4. The lead register has a belt. That means you don't have to try to cram everything right up beside the register, in a pile that if I so much as look at it too hard, is going to collapse. This also means you don't have to fidget with your stuff and keep creeping it closer and closer to the register... I will move it with the belt. Give me a second, okay? I need time to press the button. Stop being so damned impatient.
5. Stop getting mad when I ask for your birthday when you buy tobacco products. We HAVE to put in a birthday or the register WILL NOT LET us sell them. And no, I can't just put mine in. Corporate has a keystroke logger on all of our registers, they know what buttons we press, and if we repeatedly put in the same birthday - i.e. our own - they will know and we will get in trouble. Yes, I realize that you have gray hair and look like you've been rode hard and put up wet, I still need your birthday. It's got nothing to do with you being too young and everything to do with me wanting to keep my job.
6. If something doesn't scan, for the love of whatever deity/tree/being/whatever it is you worship, do NOT say "Oh well it must be free then! HA HA HA!" I assure you, it is neither free, nor is that funny. It stopped being funny after about the 8374th time I heard it. I've been doing this type of job for 14 years. You are not the first person to think of that joke, by any means. And every time you do it, your cashier has vivid daydreams about beating you violently about the head with whatever item it was that didn't scan. So KNOCK. IT. OFF.
Now that those are out of the way, some minor facepalm-worthy things.
Customer: Do you work here? Me: Yes... *thinking: No, I'm just dressed in all black, wearing a nametag, and stocking shelves for fun.*
Someone stole one stick of butter the other day... and left the other three on a shelf in the back of the store. I mean... what? Why just one stick? Why not just go ahead and steal the whole box? The hell?
The most frequently stolen item in my store is probably - are you ready for this? Cause I don't think you are - Fixodent. Yeah. Figure that one out.
For the love of - seriously folks, store brand medications are exactly the same thing as the name brand counterparts, but at a fraction of the price. Why on earth would you pay $5.50 for a 5-pack of Claritin when you can get a bottle of 60 store-brand Loratadine tablets for $7.50? Why pay $9 for 100 Aleve when 100 store-brand naproxen sodium tablets are $5.50? It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who flatly refuse store brand medications.
And while we're on the medicine subject, the active ingredient in things like Tylenol PM, Advil PM, Unisom, store-brand sleep aid, and ZzzQuil that makes you sleepy? That would be diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine is also known as Benadryl. So again, why pay ridiculous prices for all this stuff when you can get 365 generic diphenhydramine tablets for $6.50? The only difference between generic Benadryl tablets and sleep aid tablets? The sleep aid is blue, Benadryl's pink. That's it. Food coloring. That's the ONLY DIFFERENCE. Same drug, same dosage.
Okay, I'm gonna shut up now.
A few things I need to say
All brought to you by my job in retail. Mostly things I would like to say to the customers when these problems arise, but I can't because I would like to keep my job.
Dr. Pepper is not a Coca-cola product. Since when? Since FOREVER. In the area where I live, Dr. Pepper is distributed by Coca-Cola, but it is not in any way, shape, or form produced by the Coca-Cola company. Thus it is not a Coca-Cola product. And that is why when the sign says that Coke products are 3-for-$10, you don't get the discount if you get a Coke, a Sprite, and a Dr. Pepper. Yelling at and/or arguing with me about it isn't going to make it work. Telling me that your brother used to work at Coke and you know Dr. Pepper is a Coke product also won't work - one of my best friends CURRENTLY works at Coke, and we've had this discussion many times. Coca-Cola distributes many things that they don't produce - Monster energy drinks and Peace Tea come to mind. Here's a hint: If it's a Coke product, it will say somewhere on the package "Produced by the Coca-Cola Company" or "Product of the Coca-Cola Company."
Quick, everyone that has a checkbook - grab it and open it up to your first unwritten check. See that line where you write out the amount in word form? Look at the end of it. It says "dollars." That means you don't have to write the word 'dollars' when you fill out your check. It's already there! Of course, you could just save us all some trouble and get a debit card...
To the person who opened up a Febreze candle just to steal the coupons out of it: You are a twatwaffle.
To the people who keep leaving refrigerated foods out on the shelf and letting them ruin: you're all assholes. That is a HUGE contributing factor to making prices go up. Knock it off. (I've found sliced cheese, a DiGiorno pizza, and a gallon of milk, all on shelves nowhere near the coolers, all hidden behind other things and not found until they were already warm.)
Rule of thumb for shopping ANYWHERE: If the cashier tells you they can't do something, then guess what? They can't do it. Yelling at them, screaming at them, arguing with them, whining at them... none of that is going to accomplish anything. They are just doing what they are told, and seeing as how jobs are so hard to come by nowadays, they don't want to lose theirs. If you have a problem with a company policy, then the cashier is not the person to take it out on, because in the grand scheme of things, they're just flunkies. Also, policies change - just because something was allowed last week doesn't mean it will be this week. Take a deep breath before you start pitching that hissy fit and think about whether or not you're yelling at the right person.
The Journey of the Fellowship
1 frame / day traveled.
What I really want is some kind of Google calendar alert that tells me when the date corresponds with major milestones in the Fellowship’s journey. I know somebody must have already set that up.
I just want to wake up in the morning and see
"Today the Fellowship is in Moria."
"Today the Fellowship is in Lorien. Gandalf is atop the highest peak above Moria."
"Today Merry and Pippin will meet Treebeard. Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas will meet Eomer."
"Today, Faramir sees a vision of Boromir’s body drifting down the Anduin."
on my phone.
Right???
Guys... TheOneRing.net has got you covered.
"Since we’ve set this up as a Google calendar you can set reminders, subscribe and share with your friends."
Tomorrow would have been my beagle's 7th birthday. There's not a day goes by that I don't think about him and wish he were still here with me. I doubt there will ever BE a day that I stop missing him.
Rejected by mother - cared by a golden retriever
My heart
I think crowyote is trying to make me cry... this reminds me of the relationship my beagle Hemi had with my cat Mo. Mo was a scraggly little flea-ridden fuzzball with a hurt leg when we found him. Immediately upon bringing him in the house, he limped his way over to Hemi, and wrapped himself around Hemi's head. Hemi showed more gentleness and patience with that rambunctious little ball of fur than I ever thought possible, and I know Mo misses him just as much as I do.
Heee!
