a_bit_of_wit_2: My face in grid form, colored with the bisexual pride flag colors. (seph)
I'm telling you, I'll look like Gene Wilder before long, with the way my hair is going. It's getting quite big and long, probably the longest I've ever had it. Mom wants me to get it cut. I refuse. Now I know how Dan feels. Unlike yesterday, customer stupidity wasn't high like yesterday...maybe it was the fact that Uranus wasn't in retrograde, or the Moon wasn't in a penumbral eclipse or something. Or maybe because I was being followed by a Moonshadow yesterday, who knows? But, you know what? Do you see the care on my face? Well, if you're looking for it, you won't find it, for I just don't. It looks like I may just squeak by with getting into college with adequate funds, but I'm not in the door yet. Keep the faith, everyone. It looks like Brian will prevail, but I'm not certain yet.

With my contest now heading into its last rounds, what with the last of the Summons Quarterfinal due up tomorrow, the top 5 players are jockeying for position--Link182, C&T, Chaos, myself, and Eyes. Oh, this could get interesting.

I find myself alone now, Rob not in yet. These last 3 days, I have felt homesick, feeling myself being beckoned back to New Paltz. I'm half tempted to go back to NP, if only to be in the company of April, Wyatt, Michelle, Nick, Julio, Tom, Jill, Ben, Kate, Tryn, and everyone else there. Just hop on a bus and go. However, I must ride out the last week and a half of Wal-Mart and this house, hoping to navigate my sanity through this. I've made it this far. I do make one request: April already has my strait jacket. Now, Wyatt, I need you to get me some of Edward Roivas' fine drink: Liquid Courage. I may need it, should I decide to investigate the Ruins of Ehn'Gha located beneath my basement...or just survive the next 2 weeks.

Here's the funny part: even though Wal-Mart has known since I've been hired (and I've reminded them about this) that my last day is August 31st, I find that I'm scheduled through September 10th...well...ahem...I'm in college by then. Funny, too--this happened with all the college students at Wal-Mart.

Well, time to update my contest. Nighty night, all. Much love to all...and I miss you.

So I ended up staying up a total of 40 hours straight before heading to bed. I don't think more than 2 minutes passed from the time I hit the pillow to the time I passed out. 9+ hours later, I woke, refreshed. Went to work, and because they needed help in the photo lab, I obliged. However, customer stupidity was at an all-time high.

Customer, female: Will this battery work in my camcorder?
Brian: What kind of camcorder do you have?
C: A Sony Mavica.
B: (looks at package, Of course. She didn't read the packaging. If she did, she would have found the obvious wording saying Mavica compatable. ) Yep, this battery will work.
C: Ok, great. Um...is this battery fully charged?
B: Probably not, ma'am. They tell you that because it probably isn't charged, you should charge it for a full day before using it.
C: Well, if I buy this battery, put it in my camera, and find out that it isn't charged, can I return it?
B: (What the fuck are you saying? Did I just hear you correctly? Return the battery because it isn't charged? ) Um...I don't think that the Service Desk will take it back, since it isn't defective at all. It just needs to be charged. Do you have a charger?
C: I did, but I lost it.
B: I recommend you buy another one, then, so you can actually charge the battery, for those things will last.
C: But I'm already spending $60 for the battery, and I don't want to spend more money for the charger.
B: (Oh, so you're just very lazy, and I'm getting pissed at you. ) Usually any rechargable battery, whether it's regular AA or anything, will usually come not charged.
C: But can I return the battery if it isn't charged?
B: (Apparently you don't get it, woman. ) Let me see if I can have a person from Photo to help you.

Yeah. I told Vickie (who was in Photo) the situation, and she almost burst out in laughter. Later on, I get reported to the assistant manager by a customer, and get threatened to be reported to the District Manager. So I went on my break pissed. I chatted with Sarah on my break, and when I returned, the next part of the day flew by. So, I got home, chatted with April, and just sat here unwinding.

Nighty night, all.
