Gettin freshy freshy

Yes kiddies, I'd like to talk to you today about a little discussed issue in the world.

This is the world of halitosis. Say it with me...ha-lit-TO-sis. I emphasize the toe sound.

Breath that is so strong as to sink the titanic all over again.

It sends village folk running faster than godzilla (gojeela!)

Faster than a speeding bullet and can take down even superman.

Really, breath like that is something only someone would really love you would even try to handle. Kind of makes me think that really...the spouse might have even worse breath than they do and thus is grateful that they have someone who is willing to kiss them.

There needs to be a support kit, maybe a group. Proper brushing habits 101. Comes with floss, a toothbrush, possibly an electric sander. A little mouthwash and perhaps some bleach.

Adventures in bookland

Before this past November, I had never before entered into the land called retail.

Since then there have been many life lessons learned like...

• using a cash register without wrapping yourself in it with a headphone cord
• when someone is running out the door...tackle. Actually you're supposed to step aside and call security but I like the idea of tackling someone and taking them out! Look at my little muscles go :)
  
• If someone uses a bouncy glitter ball to avoid actually working, feel free to take them out with a tennis ball machine and those same previously mentioned glitter balls.
• Plastic bags are all the same. They will NEVER open no matter how hard you try until the customer is looking at you like a dink. So instead, suggest they not be selfish creeps and save the environment instead of using a bag. Points if you mention saving some random animal at the same time for extra guilt.
• If the customer argues with you for 15 minutes trying to get you to make up a coupon/discount, feel free to direct them to the competitor. Double points if you know someone obnoxious who works there to direct them to.

Latest learning curve?? Merch. Putting up new displays, taking down old ones using strange maps and diagrams and spreadsheets. I spent a good 3 hours mostly moving Twilight books this week from one table to another. It seemed like about a million of them but who knows it might've only been a couple hundred. Maybe. I only did about two tables but at least I'm learning! Witness my prowess...






Yay vamp books!

Things we know

I've been thinking about what to write about for days since I decided to restart the whole blogging thing. I wanted to write about something super cool or fantastically exciting but really, I do best when writing about what I know so thats whats gonna happen. Sometimes pouty, other times excited, its all ok. This is mostly for me anyway.

Do you know what I'm good at? Being loving, excited, happy, caring and impatient. Lately its been quite a bit more impatient. With this recession going on, its just hard to make ends meet without going in deeper so it seems like barring any miracles this girl is moving home in a month. Its ok, I've come to terms with it mostly. It just feels rather like a failing instead of just another step which it logically is. Ever notice how our feelings are often so different from the logical world? But on the plus side, my impatience is apparently not enough to make me take a bad job so yay me.

More impatience...2 jobs. Getting enough hours to fit one full time job. Figuring out if I'll ever sleep again. Enough said.

A beautiful thing? I don't have to work again for 18 hours! I can sleep in. What a blessing!
