Apparently a customer complained about me today, saying that I have "the personality of a cobra."

...I wish I knew what that even means. I wasn't aware that cobras had personalities at all, much less that they're bad.

Also, I lost my umbrella last week, so on Saturday I bought a new one. Today, being my first day at work since then, was the first time I used it. I forgot to put it in my locker when I got to work, instead leaving it in the break room. When I got off of work, though, it was gone. Completely. Not anywhere in the break room OR the locker room, which even has an "unclaimed umbrella" spot. Somebody at work took my goddamn umbrella. Fucking hell, I had just bought it! I used it ONCE! And now I have to get ANOTHER! Gaahhhh...

1:16 am - finish (/give up on) doing computer stuff for grandmother. The new printer is simply not going to work. Oh well. Fuck it.

6:00 am - time to wake up so I can catch a bus to catch another bus to catch another bus to catch another bus home, so I can have three minutes to drop off my extra luggage, so I can catch another bus to school. And take a test. That I haven't done the reading for. I was planning to do it around 6 pm when I finished all the computer stuff.

5:00 pm - time to go grocery shopping after school at the really cheap grocery store that is only open during school hours, and only Wednesdays until 7pm, because it's the only place I can afford to shop.

7:00 pm - the next opportunity I will have to be in a bed.

3:00 am tomorrow - the next time I will actually finally fall asleep.

That is AMAZING. I am going to call you cobra-girl from this day forward. Someone should change your title.

Dear voices in my head:
I know. I know. I even acknowledge that you are right. But constant repetition clearly isn't having any sort of positive impact. Shut the fuck up and figure out how to do something that works.

Also: maybe help me sleep at a reasonable hour so I don't go to my doctor's appointment looking like a hungover zombie?

I always try to look my absolute worst when I go to the doctor, so they will take me seriously when I whine at them. However, I wish you pleasant sleep and successful restedness tonight, because I know how much it utterly sucks to be sleep deprived.

Does this mean we have to call you "commander" now?

Fucking insomnia. Usually it comes AFTER I've had some sleep, but not tonight. No, that would be too easy. *grump*

Suddenly, 'was once.... a man...' has stopped being Quotable Hilarity and has gone down a different path...

Apparently a critter of some kind has gotten into the house between the living room ceiling and upstairs bedroom floor, and cant get out. Its making scritchy noises and my cats are looking confused.

I dont want this thing to die in the walls, nor do I want it getting into the actual house. How am I supposed to get it out?

Not that I am at all agreeing with this, but I think it's possible that after five years, the contempt you have for working in retail might just be seeping out through your pores in a seethy fog.

This has occurred to me, though I always strive not to let my displeasure with my job show through to the customers. At this point, I really am intensely curious as to what I did that made this guy compare me to a cobra.

...unless he was comparing me to a Shelby Cobra, which I would take as a compliment.

My roommate is having a bad week. He should be enjoying last week at this job, but events are conspiring against him. Last week the VP of the site had issues with a routine dental procedure involving a bad reaction to the anesthesia. After a Monday with an absurd call volume he, and everyone else, finds out that the VP had been in ICU the entire weekend and subsequently passed away. Little gets done during the time people in small groups get pulled aside to be informed of the VP passing away. So since he is a manager he gets to juggle things while the other managers went to the viewing Thursday and the funeral today. He is in limbo as to what he is going to be doing his final day. Little things like who is he going to turn in his badge to when he completes his last shift.

You know what? If I actually thought the anti-abortion movement was actually about the "unborn" I would credit it some respect. But you know what? It's not. It's about punishing women for having sex. So shut the fuck up before I damage you.

Headache and nausea and I just wanna go back to sleep and I'm insanely thirsty such that I feel hungover.

Only 4.5 hours of class to go X_x

I have no water and no Advil. I hate being rushed in the morning.

No, it's even worse. It's about punishing women for unlicensed sex.

In about the same way that the Christ they claim to act in the name of, died for unlicensed preaching.

"Let he without sin cast the first stone." is oft forgotten by the zealot Christians.
