Bleh-hurg.
Wow I so like.. haven't had time to update since.. whenever last time I did was. Monday?
TUESDAY
Also Tuesday, the ASUCD Supreme Court met with the Student Affairs Assistant Legal Council, an attorney. She informed us of our jurisdiction and authority, basically saying the exact same thing I had said in my official opinion. It was like I was having "I told you so" being told on my behalf by a LAWYER. Ah good times. No wonder famous people keep lawyers around them constantly; having a lawyer say things for you is so much more satisfying. (= Or maybe I'll just become a lawyer.. hmmmm
. Then I'd say Things to people all the time .
WEDNESDAY
Customer of the Day award: While I'm working in The Bakery, the part of The Coffee House that actually sells coffee, this girl comes to the register with a thermos of coffee and two chocolate-filled croissants.
` "That's four dollars please" says I
` "What?" says the girl disbelieving, "I thought the croissants were $1.50"
` "They are," I respond. The girl thinks for a minute..
` "Oh you didn't include the coffee did you? Because I didn't get that here" says the girl. Now mind you, not only is COFFEE the primary product sold in The Bakery, but people filling up their own themoses constitutes a significant portion of the business. This girl I think exemplified the many similar incidents that occur every day, of customers assuming we can somehow sense that the apple or bottle of water they happen to have did not come from the stack of numerous similar items five feet behind them.
Runner Up: Woman comes to the register with a breadbowl filled with something. My x-ray vision kinda disfunctional that day I point at it and ask what it is.
` "A breadbowl" replies the woman.
` While this was a fantastically dumb response, she is summarily disqualified from the Customer of the Day award because she ignored all previous precedents and was actually polite! For some reason it is a very well established and dependable rule that the most foolish customers are invariably rude. Its in interesting philosophical question: are they rude because they tend to get themselves in these situations and therefore are preemptively rude in an attempt to hide their foolishness; or do these situations happen because they think they have some reason to be in a hurry somewhere and are therefore both rude and moronic? The situation of astoudingly obvious responses also occurs on a daily basis, usually in the form "excuse me what's that?" "pasta" (or "soup"), whereas it is abundantly obvious that it is either pasta, or soup, respectively.
Also, I've been in the paper the last two days. Mentioned by name in an article today (Wednesday, the 12th) about the Student Court situation, yesterday I was in the front page picture of the Ozma show... well.. you could barely distinguish which was me.. if I pointed it out to you... yea. (=
THURSDAY
` Things tend to go wrong on Thursdays I think. Lets see... I slept through my alarm or accidentally turned it off in a comatose bid to hit the snooze button, meaning that I didn't have time to do any homework AND was late for work. Good times. Five years working at Wild Rivers I was never late ONCE. A few weeks here and my record is already shot to hell . Also I discovered my pass time was not today as I'd thought but YESTERDAY. So... so much for decent classes.
