i have to work 12 pm to 9 pm on thanksgiving, which sucks so bad because walmart doesn't even DO black friday, they do fucking black thanksgiving. the black friday sales start at 6 pm on fucking thanksgiving. they've moved it up two hours every year now. fuck capitalism.

 

otoh, as a consolation prize for having to work thanksgiving, they're giving me 25% off one purchase. gonna get either a 3DS or a PS4. yay capitalism!

I worked at Walmart during the last holiday season (I got stuck guarding and selling the iPads, oh my God the chaos), I feel your pain disp. You'll want to donkey-punch every asshole who says 'screw thanksgiving dinner' and shoves their way through the throngs to get that 'once-in-a-lifetime-deal-on-the-brand-new-foot-massager-that-will-complete-their-miserable-consumerist-life.' But it's survivable. We didn't start until like 9pm or something last year, 6 is just ridiculous.

i missed out on a nice vinyl copy of Oversteps because i wasn't paying attention to my ebay account. DOH!

i'm pretty sure that woman i was tutoring has dropped her class and is avoiding my calls

More details please.

that's about it, really. i posted about her a few pages back, basically she just wasn't trying, was calling me only when she was in distress, expected me to be on call, and was getting a tutoring rate of about $3/hr after all was said and done. at this point i haven't heard from her in over two weeks despite trying to get ahold of her numerous times. she will pay, oh yes. she will pay.

Fucking menacing tutor, you are.

Damn right, I put a lot of effort into this and by the blood of a whore, I will have my retribution.

3 bucks an hour sounds very cheap. how come that rate?

fwp: I got a little excited with my shaver yesterday and on a whim/out of frustration at maintaining my hair and never being happy with how to style it, I shaved it all off, head and face. when I was done I looked in the mirror and was all "fuck yeah, you're the man now dog". then I woke up this morning and was all "wtf have I done".

I don't have too much regret because it's nice to get re-acquainted with my chin every now and then, but... seriously, I'm not shaving my facial hair off completely again. I just look much better with it. now to wait a couple weeks for it to come back.

^word

usagi, I just agreed to accept a lump sum for the tutoring before it all started, that's how I got into shit wage territory. she's a friend of the family, so I was trying to not stress her out by making her pay hourly. it meant a lot to my relatives for me to try to help her. in a way I'm relieved that she dropped this class, it was seriously stressing her out to do arithmetic, lol. she had to pass it in order to get a raise from her job, but my thinking is, if she legitimately cannot pass this class, then she just doesn't get a raise. not a big enough carrot on the stick i guess. i wish people didn't have to be coaxed into learning, lol

btw im having the exact opposite facial hair problem as you. i'm shaggy as fuck all over my head and face but the end of no shave november is still two weeks away.

fwiw, i've seen the shoops and you're a classy looking hairless ape, don't sweat it.

ah. well, you got your money, and she dropped the class/tutoring herself, so just fuhgeddaboudit. it's annoying when you want to help someone get something and they don't put in the effort though, I am well familiar with that problem.

I just realized I ran out of spine labels for my minidiscs. I'll have to start using the front labels now.

My dog has begun howling in his sleep nearly every night and it scares the shit out of me. Hella scary sound when it wakes you up at 4 am.

Got a new laptop with Windows 8, which is ugly as shit plus the UI is a pain in the ass. I should just wipe the hdd and install Win7, but it's too much of a hassle... urgh

Mouth breather sitting next to me on the bus.

Rottweiler. Sounds a bit like an air raid siren.

There's this friend of a friend at my class that follows us everywhere and just won't shut the fuck up. He thinks out loud. He narrates all of his thought processes. He's doing an exercise, he's saying the operations out loud. He finally understands this math concept, he starts telling you what was so confusing and how he finally understood it. He's listening to the teacher, and he repeats everything the teacher says verbally. A friend at the bus asked me something about Breaking Bad and I haven't said 3 words when he cuts me off and starts replying to me friend. He doesn't even know this friend, he hasn't seen him in his life. He's explicitly talking with me, yet he just physically can't shut the fuck up. Jesus fuck this guy really gets on my nerves

So I finally dragged my sorry ass into the space age, and bought a Nexus 5.

Except I don't have a micro sim card so my existing card doesn't fit.

Definite 1WP.

I had to get a sim cutter (£2/3) because Virgin refused to give me a small sim unless I buy the phone from them. Fuckers. It's not the small change that I was bothered about, it was the fact I had to wait an extra 5 days for it.

You can cut it down yourself but I didn't trust myself.
