I'm starting to think I should just name my journal that... Too bad nothing else is really going on in my life at the moment ( Read more... )

People really annoy me sometimes. And I really hate that customers are allowed to use the kiosks to look up books for themselves. They come and browse sometimes, and then I can't get much done, because I can't look anything up. By this point, I've worked in the section long enough that I do have a pretty good handle on most of the popular books, as ( Read more... )

The day started far too early and far too grey, and involved almost missing my bus, due to leaving my lunch in the fridge. Sigh. Made it to work on time, but then had to sit through an interminable morning meeting. I don't mind manager John, but his meetings go on forEVER. Then I spent my morning playing with stickers, as regional managers and ( Read more... )

So I just talked to Gill about the resolution of out damage deposit issue. She sent the landlady the court papers, and then promptly received the cheque, made out for somewhat more than anticipated, but still not the full amount. Would any of you who read earlier posts about this woman's communications methods care to guess what happened to make ( Read more... )

That's it. I'm not having any more. Pretty much no one even notices when I do have them, so I might as well just stop. Of the people who actually wished me a happy birthday at all yesterday, one lives with me, four were members of my immediate family, one only did after I called him (twice), and the other is more Fuzzy's friend. Not a single one of ( Read more... )

... you find yourself wandering around in a mall and biting your tongue to keep from asking lost-looking people if you can help them find anything ( Read more... )

OK, so you know how I was bitching about parents who let their kids run amok and rip stuff in stores? Well I just encountered even worse. See, we have these big plastic jars of foamy letters for small children, and they're not left out like an invitation to play with them; they're stuffed neatly in the shelf where all the other toys for sale are. ( Read more... )

So I was on the bus, and this kid gets on with her sister and grandmother, and this kid is decked out in a fuzzy turtle costume, and looks decidedly displeased about something. Maybe the costume. I don't know. It was odd ( Read more... )

Fuck, I cannot wait for my lease in Halifax to be up. This summer has been such a bloody pain in the ass. As you may know, since I may have discussed it earlier, Gill and I were not able to fully get rid of the damn apartment for the summer. All we could get was one subletter, so we had some of our rent covered, but unfortunately, still had to deal ( Read more... )

Today's observations focus largely on inconsideration. For starters, exactly how inconsiderate does one have to be, I would like to know, to park your baby-containing stroller right under the hand dryers in a public bathroom while you change your other baby? I was extremely tempted to use the dryer anyway, and sprinkle the baby, no doubt earning ( Read more... )
