Mellow Yello?

Work was interesting today, as this little old lady rolled in with her husband. She couldn't get out of her wheelchair and was on oxygen, so I felt very 'high-end store clerk', picking things out and bringing them to her based on her taste. Demanding she definitely was, but it didn't really faze me, as I've been treated like worse shit for no reason. Of course, she loved every freakin' napkin we didn't have a mate for. EVERY. ONE. But, that's life.

After I had made this fiesty lady happy with her napkins and candles, she left. No sooner was the door closed than the other lady who had been shopping while I was busy being a personal shopper spoke. She was all "That lady was very bossy (ie a raging bitch, probably xD), her tone was really annoying."

I was like "Um, if she were nice and soft-spoken then no one would notice her or help her as often." Sad but true in the world of stores. It's just REALLY easy to not notice patrons who need a little extra help if they stay all quietlike. Of course, if it's slow we do notice, but she came in when it was quite busy. I added "It's also very frustrating to have everyone else have to do everything for you instead of being independent." In my mind that would add an edge to anyone's tone. Then the lady looked at me all funny and was like "I never thought of it that way, thank you."

So yeah, apparently reading HH the Dalai Lama's The Art of Happiness has affected me. WOO COMPASSION!

I'mma go stock now, and posties will be up tomorrow~!

It's a very Amy Winehouse morning here...[Rated Arr]

To make things easier on everyone, I'm dividing my walls o' text into sections. This way if you're not in the mood to hear a rant or a paean to my kitty, you can skip and save yourself the nap. :P


On with it, shall we?

KITTY: He was a crazy possessed kitty Thursday ALL DAY, and so I have begun to sing him that 80's song Psycho Killer, except edited to PSYCHO KITTY QU'EST-QUE-C'EST? Bun-buda-bon-budda-bondabum! It's far too much fun. :3 Then later I went to make delicious redneck foods (ie: shells and cheese with peas and tuna mixed in), and the kitty mistook the tuna can for his wet foods and went BESERK when I started adding it to my food. Goofy ass cat tried to paw at the hot pan and everything. -_-

WORK: Well, volunteering, but still awesome! It's a fair trade store called Peacecraft that has a little bit of everything. It's abslolutely pouring the rain outside, so I'm fairly certain I'll be customer-less until it lets up. Wednesday kicked my butt though, as I'm like the only person here that's not too lazy to break down a box. Or twenty. Got home at like 7:20 and the joint closed at 6! I got to put out nummy coffees today though~! They're roasted locally, it's all microbrewery-ish. There was a bit of a sad earlier. I had to help a lady pick out a guestbook and basket to hold cards for a funeral. I tried my damndest to be kind. She seemed to really appreciate it, plus I talked her into some delicous 70% Dark and 70% Dark with RASPBERRIES chocolate. Hopefully that helps everyone out a bit. :/



OTHER LIFE: The fucking pilot light to the water heater went out last night. Refuses to light as far as I know until now. So guess who was up all last night due to paranoia? Me! I was trying to rationalize it to myself, but every time I was almost asleep I was like MUST SEE IF KITTY IS BREATHING! By the time my lovely BF got home, I felt like Miss Winehouse looks. About five kinds of a trainwreck. And THEN the heater still refused. I poked my head into the shower and washed my head in water so cold I gasped involuntairly, and subsequently choked on the water! Doublefail! I will say it DID do wonders for my headache. Also, got one honk and a whoop on the five minute walk here. My fellow busty gals, try out the menswear plaid shirt belted just under the bust with slightly rolled up faded jeans and cute, uber-femme flat sandals or just ballet flats. It's verry nice. :3 Hides my belly, I'm ALL for it.



THE INTERNETS: Cielamara pointed me to a nifty little site, postcrossing.com. Be warned, best not undertaken with paranoid people living in the house. :P It's a site where you can send postcards to people all over the world and get a ton back~! Simple, no age limit, and I'm really excited to see how this goes once I waylay some postcard postage stamps! Thanks Ciel!



Well, I *may* try to wrangle a posty over the weekend, but if not, see y'all on Tuesday!

*taptap* Is this thing on?

So yeah, I'mma try this blog thing. My main computer is falling apart, and hence I have not blogged until this point. I love y'all, and I love writing, but not enough to do entire posts with an on-screen keyboard.

However, I do have the great fortune to have access to a computer at my volunteer work. Don't worry, work before blog!

So yeah, is there any sort of thing you all really wanna hear about? Otherwise you may get random reviews. And me holding myself accountable in my learning of my path. And life. And kitty. No poetry! Possibly a rant, though I'm not a fan of writing my own. Reading them is fun, however!

Hmm, I could talk about my life, but what would y'all like to hear? :3
