At first one feels remorse for feeding live mealworms to a hungry plant, but it isn't long before those feelings turn to joy at watching it being eaten alive. I got up several times the first night to watch it eat those bastards. Seriously good times. My only complaint is that mealworms like to shit. A lot. It's gross ( Read more... )

Hating my job more than usual, I used my break yesterday to wander into the jewellery store next door to look at shiny things. I go in there a lot to browse, and talk to the girls there, so I was asked by the manager what was up.

'My job blows,' I said. 'Forever.'We're hiring!' she said. 'Does ear-piercing make you squeamish ( Read more... )

Dumbledore was gay announces J.K. Rowling. I can't say I want to know much of anything about Dumbledore's sexual interests. I'm not surprised he's gay, but I never considered it. The last thing a student wants to think about is their headmaster's sexuality ( Read more... )

I was able to speak to my manager about the other day's situation. It took guts to do, but I let her know what had happened and that I was sorry. While she'd already written up a reprimand and put it in my file, she said she'd figured out later that night that something was off with my ( Read more... )

Wow, yeah, work.  This morning was a bit terrible, as a new woman decided to tell me and two newer girls that we'd never been taught how to set up a table.  Years ago she was a manager and was just re-hired, but dude?  I've been working at Fabricland for over a year.  I know how to set up a table.  You do not have to degrade me, us, or anyone ( Read more... )
