I really hate working retail during the holiday season. People are jerks. Though once in a while I’ll get someone who amuses me. This lady calls my work to ask about our return policy.

Customer: “Is it true that I can return something with just my driver’s liscense?”

Me: “No ma’am, we require a sales receipt dated within 90 days.”

Customer: “Are you totally serious?”

Me: “Yes, I’m totally serious.”

Customer: “Well, why would someone tell me that?”

Me: “I don’t know ma’am.”

Customer: “Well, isn’t that illegal in 52 states?”

Me: “I don’t know ma’am, but it’s been our return policy for 3 years.”

I do still wonder what the other two states she was referring to though.

The other night at work, this lady walks in the exit door and comes up to me at my register (while I’m ringing a customer up) and asks, “Who’s going to help me? Where’s the bathroom?”

“The bathroom’s right on the other side there, left when you walk in the entrance door.”

“Well, who’s going to help me?”

“Uh, go to the service desk when you’re done in the bathroom and someone there will be able to assist you.”

I go about my business and eventually the night quiets down and there aren’t a lot of people in the store. I see Joel who was working electronics this night, walk by holding a plastic bag for the lady I saw earlier. He puts it down by the service desk and the lady walks to the bathroom again. Talking with another one of the cashiers, she tells me that the lady started yelling at her and a customer (Whom she assumed worked here too, even though we have a uniform of red shirts and the lady was wearing green) that someone needed to help her our to her car (with her one bag).

Well, I get volunteered to escort her and her one bag (which has a foam baseball bat and a deck of playing cards, which weighed maybe two pounds at most). I try to make small talk with and she asks how old I am.

“19.”

“Oh. Do you know Jesus yet?”

“Uh, not personally.”

“God can help you do your make-up, pick out your clothes and even pick out the man you marry!”

“…Uh, yeah, my grandma goes to church she knows about God. I’ll have to hang out with her more.”

“Christian?”

“Yeah, Presbyterian.”

“Well, that’s good enough I guess.”

Than her husband pulls up and gives me a business card so I could download him singing the ten commandments.

It was hard not to just burst out laughing at them.

I got into a car accident on October 14. I was turning left after coming home from work and the guy ran the light and slammed into the passenger side of me. Fortunately, I didn’t have a passenger. I spun 180 degrees and came to a stop. I have two witnesses saying that he ran the red light, and one witness saying I ran the red light.

That’s my poor car which the insurance company totaled. Luckily, we had full insurance on it, and got around $6,000 for my ‘98 Ford Convertible Mustang. It went towards a 2000 Toyota Camry. I’ll have pictures of that later.

Dream Host is upgrading their servers and I volunteered to be one of the first on the promise of unlimited bandwidth. As if I need it. A girl can dream right?

So, if things look buggy, it might be because of that. Unless you have termites. Than it might be that.

I went to San Francisco for my 19th birthday last Friday with some friends. The aquarium was the best part. It satisfied my fish infatuation. Not to mention we got to pet starfish, leopard sharks, and manta rays.

I bought myself a Ped Egg.

I don’t know if I found this more interesting or weird. Isabella Rossellini donned bug costumes for the Sundance channel to act out the mating rituals of various bugs.

Sundance Channel : Green Porno.

Thoughts? Cool or creepy?

Yes, I have a new layout. Eh… something about it doesn’t look right, (besides the amount of space between the navigation and the content, but I can’t figure out how to fix that) but I can’t place my finger on it. I think it’s a combination between the ugly background and ugly header, but I’m too lazy and lack inspiration to do anything about it.

I did get my new mattress. Which has led to redecorating and a ton of stuff being tossed out of my room. Which is what I’ve been doing the past view days. I’m also getting a 10 gallon fish tank tomorrow to transfer my two fish into.

Lately, I’ve been in the mood to get some late spring cleaning done (Very late, as it’s averaging 90 degrees F outside) and I’ve found I usually just make things messier. I’m the type of person who cleans behind the scenes first; meaning, I’ll ignore the growing pile of clothes on my floor to organize and clean out my closet first. Of course this makes perfect sense to me. The container must be clean before it can actually contain anything, right? So, typically by the time I’m done cleaning the container (closet, dresser, whatever) I’m bored and never put the things away on my floor that the container was supposed to hold.

I cleaned out my make-up bag the other day and was amazed by some of the wonders I found. Some of which I recognized as gifts in… 2002. Such as a stick of green lipstick in a big make-up set, which I believe is meant as a gift to an eight year old. I don’t care who you are, unless it’s Halloween, no one should be wearing green lipstick. Next to this was a stick of pink lipstick, so I guess if one were to wear both of them at the same time… no, it still wouldn’t be chic.

My latest task is to clean out from under my bed, as I have been told I can get a double bed. Most likely this bed will take up half of my room, but this is acceptable as it will than fit two people comfortably (single beds fit two comfortably if you like lying on top of one another). Though I haven’t finished cleaning yet, I have found about six Care Bear VHS tapes, three Princess Gwenevere VHS tapes and a trunk full of clothes for my “Just Like You” American Girl Doll. Ah, memories. I’m unsure what to do with all this crap, as I don’t want it, but I do wonder if I should at least keep the doll stuff for when I have a child.

Either way, I want my new bed.
