"These are my 'I have new boots' boots!"

Okay, to quell the flame that was surging within me yesterday, fueled by frustration of work e-mail, I went shopping! And I spent a teensy bit too much money, but I'm worth it goddammit and ... YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU! *nods emphatically ( Read more... )

shopping, work, videogames

Sometimes when you're major stressed the only thing you can do is.... shop!! I've used that remedy myself a time or two, and it usually works quite well. The guilt I feel about spending the money (do I really NEED it? No! But I WANT it...) is usually a lot less than the stress relief I get from what I bought. And you're right; you can't take it with you. I always remember something somewhere said once: how many ladies, that last night on the Titanic, waived away dessert because they were watching their figure? How could they know that that would be their last meal? You just never know, do you?

But I definitely feel your frustration, dealing with assholes. I get that every day. I'd like a job where I didn't have to deal with people. Ever! I would be so much happier.

Yeah, and these could've been my last pair of boots! No see, if I didn't get them, I would've been hit by a bus or something and I'd be muttering something about 'boots' to the paramedics and then they'd tell the doctor and he'd think I was talking about boobs and give me a new rack (of course Ray would probly sign for it) and I'd die....with no boots, but a nice rack. *sigh* So, I'm glad I bought my boots, saved my life they did! And my sanity ( ... )
