Customers suck!
Hadn't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd stop in and post something before it gets insanely busy in these parts...
I always shudder and dread in advance the first Monday and Tuesday of every month...because it's Customer Appreciation Day at work. Now I think most customers are rude and obnoxious even when it's a good day, so imagine my frustrations when these vultures want to capitalize on every deal known (and sometimes unknown) to man. My tongue is sore from biting it so much! I'm tired, my feet ache and my back is sore...quite possibly from carrying the staff ;)
Exams are coming up real quick (Monday and Tuesday)...they shouldn't be that difficult this time around, but it sucks that they're on back-to-back days at 9am. I suppose it's good that I'm getting them out of the way quick though. I also have a term paper due a week or so later, which is essentially an "interim report" of my thesis research. It appears as though my supervisor and I are on the right page, and we're both happy with the results I'm uncovering. Still lots of work ahead, but I finally have some momentum and it feels good. I'll probably work on that some more tonight and then leave it alone for a week or so.
Here was a pleasent surprise: I won $20 bucks playing poker last week. I made it to the final two, went all in on my 2nd hand with a pair of jacks, and still lost. Still, I'm happy I won something!
Bought the Neverending White Lights CD last week, because I heard a a cool song called "The Grace" featuring Dallas Green on the radio...and because they're opening for Our Lady Peace next month. Unfortunately, it's the only song I liked on the CD. I did buy "As Far as the Eye Can See" by People in Planes, and it's awesome. It's like Queens of the Stone Age and jazz music at the same time. Oddly cool.
Question: Do any of you have products in your home that one would normally use, but aren't allowed to use? Example: My mom bought new bathroom towels...they look just like our other bathroom towels, but we're not allowed to use them because they're "decorative". Same goes for pillows, candles, plates, etc. Is this a accepted trend? I don't get it...why buy it if you're going to do jack squat with it? I thought my dad would agree with me, but apparently he's been brainwashed ;)
Live long and prosper.

I agree with you Ev. I burn my candles. And I use my towels. They look prettier once they've been used. Mom's do that sorta thing though. At our house, you're not allowed to put your feet on the coffee table. What's up with that? Isn't that what coffee tables are for, I mean, besides coffee? By the way, I'm in town, we should hang out.

The coffee table, in the abscence of a water cooler, is the central hub of discussion. Moms have baffling policies.
Yes, we should hang out...let me know what your typical week is like! Mine's pretty much open except for Wed-Thurs night.
