Borders employees suck...
Why is it that Borders employees are either massively creepy or complete condescending asshats?! *grumble*
Okay, gotta tell you about my day to get this in motion.
Mina called me this morning (which woke me, sadly, from a very strange but cute dream). I tried to roll over and go back to sleep, but 30 minutes later, Paul called. He was apparently in the area for an appointment and had one more to go to. So, he asked me if I wanted to join him for breakfast. Hey, sausage and coffee? I'm so there!
So, I met him out. I had a nice chat with him, offered my services for any remodeling help he and Tony might need in the future (I love painting walls and laying floors, go figure. lol), ate my sausage, and drank mucho café. He went to his appointment; I decided to go to Borders.
Okay, here's the thing. I have a new purse. It's a real simple, long-strapped dealie that has three rings going down one side. In an effort to make sure I stop with my incessant, "Where's my keys?!" every time I go out, I've been clipping my keys to one of the rings. Now, my ignition/door key to my car hangs from a little attachment that you have to squeeze to connect. But if you don't push it on hard enough, it can work itself off.
Which is apparently what happened. I knew I walked into Borders with my keys, and I remembered trying to attach them. Apparently, I didn't push the thing on hard enough. My key, invariably, slipped off. I perused the manga section, made my selections, and paid at the counter. Then, I realized I couldn't get into my car. I looked around the store for a while (knowing that it had to be either in an aisle or in the parking lot between my car and the door). Not in the aisles, not in the parking lot. So, I figured somebody picked it up.
Here's where I get annoyed. I went to the customer service counter and asked if anyone had found a key. I was laughing at myself, trying to make a joke of it, but that stupid BITCH behind the counter made me feel like a twelve year old.
"One of our employees found it quite a while ago," she tells me. It couldn't have been that long ago, you little pisser! I've only been in here an hour or so!
"You're REALLY lucky someone found it..." Again, I've only been here an hour! My car is still out in the lot, so no one took my car! And don't act like I'm panicking about it, because I know one of your dumbasses has it, or will have it in a few moments!
"What, were you going to go shopping or something?" Shopping?! WTF, mate!!! It doesn't require a key to go shopping! LEAVING your damned store requires a key to make my car go! And I already did my shopping here, if that's what you mean! I have a FUCKING plastic Borders bag on my arm, you blind bat! Push those glasses back up on your damn wrinkled nose, too!
"He's the one who found it," (pointing to the clerk who rang me out). "You ought to thank him." Well, no fucking shit, Sherlock! Thanks for finding my key, weird guy that was looking down my cleavage and hitting the wrong keys which made his register BEEEEEEP horribly. (I really think he's going to take my email addy home with him... *grumble glare sigh*) And thanks for your help, you psychotic, condescending, frizzy-haired "just-brushed-through-my-perm-even-though-it's-in-a-ponytail", "I'm-oh-so-important-because-I-work-customer-service-at-a-bookstore-even-though-I-DON'T-SERVE-CUSTOEMRS-WITH-THE-COURTESY-I-SHOULD", frumpy-dumpy BITCH!!!!!
*screams in frustration before pouring kerosine on her soapbox and watching it explode in a fireball of doom*
Fucking people. I mean, really! C'mon! God, I hate stupid people. I seriously, fucking HATE stupid people!
On the upside, I got my third volume of "Yellow", a book called "The Science of Anime" which explores the philosophical/scientific workings of mecha, robotic, and technological anime, and Samurai Champloo (vol. 1 & 2). Yeah, I spent alot. Bugger off. My paycheck was cushioned by a full week of full-time pay.
So, now that my rant is over, I'm going to veg and read. And maybe, JUST MAYBE, I'll later figure out how to beat Orichimaru in my GBA Naruto game. Fuckin' snakehead....
