Hello Readers!
I can only describe Monday and Tuesday of this week by a photo. See Spawn above. Truly. I had a "Manic" Monday. Today, wasn't too much better. It seemed today that customers just annoyed me. Maybe I was just irritable and their customer-chismo, had a bad interaction with my Manic Monday hangover. Go fig.
I guess the two that truly mad me wanna cast "green balls of hell spawn" fury was the cute little old lady that wanted to return a bible she purchased yesterday because she needed a large print one. That was cool until she demanded that we honor the 25% off coupon she used yesterday to purchase the wrong print bible. Okay, let me say it again. She wanted, no, DEMANDED that we apply the coupon she used yesterday. I called a manager over. They are soooo much better at dealing with these types of people. I'm heartless. I would have told Little Red Riding Hood's Grandma to fuck off. She was already getting 20% with her membership card. Why ass rape us for an additional 25%? Whatever. The guy that came up to help me is completely awesome. He is really down to Earth and shares my total dislike for dumb asses. I respect that in a person.
Coupons are little sheets of paper shit out by the devil, ( If you believe in Satan, of course). For every one else, coupons are shards of void that will suck the Summerlands or Nirvana out of the reach of your soul forever.)
The second incident didn't happen to me, but to one the other employees. Her first call this morning was from a disappointed customer. Apparently the customer waited for a couple of weeks for the DVD version of the book The Secret. After finally getting her copy on Monday, she watched. She didn't get half way through it. She call late this morning to see if she could get a full refund because she was dissatisfied with the DVD. Not the condition or service, but the content. The subject and substance that was boasted about on Oprah's show not once, but twice. The woman felt ripped off because Oprah promised this book would change her thinking/life, but the information was basically what someone else has said before without all the hype. So she felt she deserved a full refund for her dissatisfaction. I'm sorry. Again, I would have told little miss "I believe everything The Oprah says to be true and just," to fuck off. Thank Goodness someone else got that one. Nope. I would have held in my fury like I did with the little old lady, then transferred her to a manager so he/she could get a full dose of WTF.
That outta the way now, I feel so much better. I just wanna say, the 2 chapter I read out of The Secret wasted the 10 minutes it took for me to digest them. I think I gained two pounds of stupid from opening that book.
So what's going on with Wall Street? I guess the Dow Jones has been having some shitty moments over the last couple of years, but doing well since July . Today, I read/saw it was the worst since 9/11. I think there was something to do with what happen in China.
So one of my faithfuls was curious about my book choices. I guess favorite books of the "Not-so-smart" demon. Trust me, if I'm reading, you can too. I usually pick books that can hold the interest of an adult with the IQ of a wet sponge. Sorry if I just offended anyone. I choose books that are catchy and easy to get into. Usually. Some have been rough, example: Memoirs of Cleopatra, by Margaret George. It was a great book, but hard to start, continue, and finish. Six months later, I finished it.
makes the day so much more Is it weird to be known by your co-workers as the person that likes Vampire Romance books? I guess stereotyping sucks, but, I am hardly ever disappointed by a modern themed book with some sort of paranormal cast of characters. I love a little romance and some modern day wit. It brightens my day. Put those all together for me; even better day. I guess because my alter's daily life is so bland, over the top brain candy is so palatable. So if you are ready and want some title that are non threatening, and could use the ego pick me up (Have no fear. Very little learning goes on. Just entertainment.), here are some suggestions:
- Any thing by Christopher Moore (Lamb, Coyote Blue, Stupidest Angel, Fluke)
- Any thing by Chuck Palahniuk (Choke, Fight Club, Survivor)
- Any thing by Dean Kootz ( Intensity, Shattered, Velocity, Odd Thomas, The Husband)
- Any thing by Gregory Maguire (Wicked, Lost, Confessions of an Ugly Step-Sister)
- Anything by Katie MacAlister (Girls Guide to Vampires, Corset Diaries, Aisling Grey Series, Men in Kilts)
- Max Brooks's World War Z
- Stephanie Rowe's Must Love Dragons (there is one before it, but I forgot the name.)
I shall say "Adieu." My knight in a shinning Mazda Tribute took me to work today because we deemed it too much for my limited snow driving skills for me to get out of our driveway this morning. Little did we know after about 3 blocks, the main road was well salted. Just my luck, when I got out of work, there was no trace that it even snowed. Only the remainder on houses and yards from the last snow a week or so ago. So it's cuddle time. Scrubs is on and I wanna read a couple more pages of Lamb. Oh, I also pushed my tat date back to that Saturday, (17 March) for financial purposes. I don't like to give weak tips for good work.
If you cannot hold eve the mind and
body you use, how can you expect to
cling to other things and hold them?
