One of the pallets delivered to us today collapsed under its own weight while in transit. Says it all.

I'm fucking furious. Just had to miss out on a meal with the lads because a bus didn't arrive. Stood outside in the cold for half an hour waiting for one. In the end had to cut my losses and let my mates have their meal without me. Been looking forward to it all week, although I did forget when and where we were going earlier.


Edit: And a bus has just gone down the road. On time. Are you fucking kidding me.

No idea what either of us were doing, her vagoo smelt awful so oral was unpleasant, mostly just fumbled around.

I've been venting the past couple of months in other threads, if I didn't I'd probably have gone insane. I'm happy about getting the hours but in return for getting a decent pay packet we have to deal with a load of bullshit.

• Customers being twat ends. Anti-5pbaggers, ones who take their sweet time paying or packing their items so they hold up the queue, those who get shitty with us when a technical problem with our tills arises, ones who leave their rubbish strewn about the shop floor (bottles and cups - full or empty - are the most common. Though a few weeks back I had the lovely job of scraping fresh gum off the cover of a book), leaving our baskets in the middle of the shop floor, those who stay after closing, ones who claim that we have no excuse to look or feel tired (I wish I could say "try working here for 2 weeks during Christmas and see if you feel the same"), that kind of thing.

• Most weekends the shop gets crammed. If I'm not serving people I'm trying to tidy up behind them because they ruin everything. I say trying, soon as I leave my post someone else queues up.

• Getting ridiculous amounts of stock in. Small stock room and shop floor = bad. We've had to sacrifice our one table and chair to the elements just to make room for it, so other than sitting at the computer we have to sit on boxes of stock as makeshift chairs. It got so bad we had HR down to voice our concerns about the safety risk of getting in more than we're selling, to which they told us we can cancel deliveries if it gets too much and if Head Office say anything, ignore it. Despite this, we still have 9 pallets to go and it's now Christmas week. Just, why.

Fuck the Christmas period. Not getting paid enough for this shit.

1) I can just look elsewhere,
and 2) I hold out hope the content will come back legally. Only reason scanlation exists in the first place is because until now it's been exclusive to Japan.

I came for the porn and stayed for the forums.

I'm not hugely into it but have watched the films, including the new one.

Yep. Problem fixes itself then it comes back again.

Friend asked me whether I found her attractive and I told her I did a bit. Not my best decision ever. Now she's gone off on one saying she's made things awkward and didn't want to lead me on, and she always fucks things up etc etc. I told her she hasn't to either of those things but won't listen. Ended up with her lashing out at me telling me I care too much, so I left it at that.

Urgh. This is why I don't tell people how I feel.

Not into all that. Bit of a dumb tradition if you ask me. Why wait until the end of the year to change yourself?

Nowadays I don't read very many, mostly come for the forums. But I read the odd one if the art on the thumbnails piques my interest.

You forget how much effort goes into making a game model from scratch until you watch an hour-long timelapse.

My cat parks her butt on my laptop keyboard.

Today I got asked whether I wanted to be a keyholder. I said yes. It's not a definite yet due to having to stick to a budget but she said she'll "Keep that in mind". So with any luck, I'll earn a bit more money fairly soon. It also means I won't have to use other people's numbers for authentication to perform the simplest of tasks.

Whether I'll be one depends on whether someone gets the sack (and freeing up 30 hours of the budget to go elsewhere) for continuously breaching the part of their contract that specifically states they can't leave messages moaning about people or saying they should be sacked for whatever reason. Turns out she's also been fiddling with the rotas a bit to benefit her. I like the woman, I get along alright with her and she knows what she's doing but she causes a lot of problems with other people and half the shit she does that gets her into trouble is on impulse. She behaved for a while when the last Manager upped and left but she seems to have gone back to her old ways.

Kinda feel bad that I would benefit from someone losing their job but she's been saying for a while that she wants to leave. I dunno.

Told a customer in passing conversation I wasn't sure where everything was since I hadn't been in since Thursday. Her response was "You don't have an excuse to look tired then"

Bitch I've been up since 6 and I went to the charity shop before I came to work. Every day I'm in next week is an 8 hour shift if not more, and I've had 2 much-needed days off this week. To you Christmas started in maybe November or December but for us it started 3 months ago. We've all been working our socks off because of the christmas period which has brought in ridiculous amounts of stock and has resulted in much unnecessary stress for everyone that works there. Fucking judgemental cunt.

Munchkin kittens and Scottish folds > all

Dec 15:
Only this week and half of next week until the Christmas period is over. Fucking finally.

As far as retail is concerned Christmas lasts 3 months. That's way too long. I've taken to considering January a much-needed holiday since all our hours get dropped to minimum.


Dec 16:
Found out that TMs are renewable on PokeMMO now; most can be bought from Pokémarts. Each one has a small selection to choose from. This means I don't have to worry about "saving" my TMs and never actually using them. Just a shame the game uses Gen III TMs, most of which are shite.

I've never had one of my threads raised from the grave before.

Edit: Who has since deleted their post. Looking at you @nkzy.

Why did it take you so long to try it?

You OP are specifically not allowed to view it because the universe is against you.

We're the third planet from the sun.

I've seen James and the Giant Peach enough times to recognise this.
