Next time I have to deal with smug, entitled customers I'll totally use this as a comeback.

Customers. Especially MALE customers. Fucking STOP barging into the counter when I DO NOT invite you in. When you do that I feel so violated and don't look so miffed when I have to yell NO YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE after I say no politely. I'm a girl whom when I say no I meant FUCKING NO ( Read more... )

Holiday! (and work, unfortunately)

'Tis the season! I know I'm Muslim and all but god I LOVE Christmas! I love the carols, the decorations, the tacky Santas and their elves, the carols, the special Christmas episodes, gingerbread houses, the carols and the Christmas spirit. And the carols.

I told my dad that I'm considering continuing working at Kinokuniya in the Merchandising Department full-time after I finished my Masters, and instead of a show of support (my aunts were excited for me when I told them, thinking that it's the perfect job for me), my dad said, "Yes, but can they pay you befitting your MA level? If you work in a ( Read more... )

Work generally sucks, and yet despite my wailing and moaning, I feel kinda sad leaving my teaching semester behind. Those brats caused me unending grief and headache, but they're good students really. Except for the truly apathetic ones, who grated on my nerve. But overall they're not that bad. One of my classes even organized an iftar and invited ( Read more... )

I am a teacher now, and sometimes...er, most of the time, it's hard to summon up the strength to, you know, teach. However, there are some characters that help and motivate me in my teaching. While I respect Gruwell and Braithwaite, these two are my greatest inspirations:
