3 things that irritate me as a cashier

1. People who spin the carousel when I'm still bagging. This irritates me for two reasons.

a. I spend effort planning my bagging job to make it as good as possible. When you interrupt, it frustrates me- it also lowers the quality of my work.

b. When you hit my hand because of this, it irritates me. STOP HURTING ME! wait for me to at least move my hand, geeze.

2. People who make the freaking "so, that means its free, right?" joke.

 "oh, you can't find the barcode, that means it's free, right? hahahaha" "there's no barcode, that means it's free right? hahahhaa" "oh the upc isn't working, that means it's free right? XDD HAHAHA" STOP, PLEASE! The person before you made that joke, the person before HIM made it and the person after you is probably going to make it. PLEASE stop the cycle. It's not funny, it's not clever and it's deffinately not origional. It just irritates me.

3. People who put no effort in making their greeting comprehensible.

I say "Hello, how are you?" a billion times a day. I say it to every costomer no matter what. I say it when I'm tired and have been working 9 hours, I say it when my legs are in excrushiating agony, I say it when I'm irritated and have had a bad day, I say it when I'm starving, when I'm sick and when I am absolutely miserable. I also seem to manage saying it nicely, comprehensibly, enthusiastically and sometimes even make it sound authentic. The least you can do is manage to not slur your words together in an incomprehensable mumble.

I'm not really a whiny, ranty type person but I thought I would share the top 3 things that make my day sucky. Please don't spread the suck. Treat your cashier nicely. XD

I saw something interesting today when I was walking to the library. I saw a CBS news team getting ready to shoot in front of the West Metro Fire Rescue building that I walk past every time I go to the library. They had the camera man and a giant, bright light pointing to the building. The news spokesperson guy was reading through some papers so I guess it's what he's supposed to read or somethnig. I walked right behind the camera man and continued on my way, thought I couldn't help but to stare a bit. The spokesperson guy noticed me and gave me a "I notice you" nod. and I waved. lawl. anyways. that was an adventure.. . I thought that was interesting.

 Gah it burns!

 Well, I walked to the library to use the comp right? Well, I got there and I... uh.. whats the word..... well I sighned up for a comp or whatever and then went to look at books until my turn came. Then I noticed that my legs were EXTREMELY itchy. so I was like wth. I went to the bathroom to find out why and I found that my legs were bright red and it looked like a swarm of mosquitos feasted on them. There was lots of swollen bumps and I was like wth I wasn't around any bugs. Am I turning into dad? Can I not handle walking in cold weather or something? Cause even right now... well, they're not really that itchy anymore but they BURN!

 gah I hate skin problems =(

 Well, two days ago I had a mild panic attack. 3 weeks of living in Colorado and I STILL don't have a job.... so yesterday I went a-walking with Paul, handing in 4 of my applications and then I dragged him onto a bus and we went job hunting around. Came home with a bunch of applications. I feel a little better now but still a little freaked.

Umm.... what else is new? Not tooooooo much. I'm a little sick... everyone at home is.. I got the good end of the deal. =/ but it's inconvenient to feel too sick to go anywhere when your already freaking out about lack of time to go find a job. =( but so far I am clearly good enough to go to a few places. some days are worse than others though.

I still haven't put together my bike.... I guess I should ask Steve to help me with that today. I keep forgetting to ask. =P

Um.......... went to a writing workshop thing last Sun. and it got my psyched about my books. 3 times I've told Chris to email my stories to me and he hasn't yet.... Gah. Chriiiiiiiis.

Besides that? not much is really up. I've been hanging out with Paul more often than I have ever hanged out with anyone in my life (not counting the times Micky spent like a season at our house) but yeah. I see him about 2 days a week. I feel a bit guilty when we spend too much time at home though because I don't want to annoy Steph and Steve.... so I guess I'll hang out at his place more. =P lol

but yeah. besides a little bit of panic and mild sickness... things are going good. I really like it here, it's pretty, most everything is close by and yeah. nice people. =P yeah, I do miss my old home... but I'm doing pretty good.
