You know what lights a match to an already tense customer service call? When you act annoyed that I’m calling, that you claim that what is happening is not happening, and more than anything when you interrupt me.
Also, please don’t write anything down and make me have to repeat my information.
Selt-pitting: hey, dumbass, if you’re going to garden the lazy way and not mark anything, learn what delphinium seedlingslook likeso you don’t pull them up as weeds. Those weren’t weeds, dumbfuck.
I’d say lesson learned, but I think I did the same thing last spring. . . :smack: At least I’m not all gung-ho (see above: lazy) about yanking up every last weed. I pulled up … five, max, I think, before I saw something shiny and wandered off. Still … dangit!
Also, I have a sneaking suspicion I have an email coupon to the store we went to yesterday. It’ll probably amount to lost savings of about four bucks, but … dangit!
We went to Wal*Mart again yesterday - I go about once a week, and can’t get out of that store without spending $100. I sincerely hope it’s just a case of running out of EVERYTHING at the same time.
I am 33 weeks pregnant and I spent last night throwing up.
I really don’t want to go to the ER. I spent three weeks in the hospital because I was unable to keep food down the last time I was this pregnant. Please don’t let this happen again.
One would think that the person taking an order at a take-out counter would be at least halfway familiar with what comes on the hot dog that said locale is known for. “Well, it comes with a lot of stuff.” Yes, I know dearie, that is why I’m telling you what I do and do not want on it (or more specifically, what the person I’m ordering this for does and does not want on it). Perhaps you should try listening to what I’m telling you so you know what “stuff” I want on it. If special orders upset you so much, perhaps working a shift at Burger King would help you out.
I will concede this position if you can advocate with a straight face that it would be equally acceptable to cut $1,000 off the price of one dress, convert it to $20 bills, invite over a few homeless people, and then have them watch as they tear the money to shreds in front of their eyes. Hell, you could even save two of the $20s so you could hand the bums some sandwiches.
Hot glue on the dress, toss a few handfuls of broken glass… sounds pretty encrusted to me!
The paperwhites that I halfheartedly planted in the front yard a couple of years ago have started emerging. I really could have done a better job with the placement – they’re clustered very strangely – but they look nice once they’ve sprouted.
I hope you feel better soon. I would say, “Hey, just 7 weeks and you’re done!” but I know that 7 weeks can be an eternity. Instead, I hope your experience is better this time than it was last time.
If you want, you can come down here and plant and weed to your heart’s content. We have a fine crop of some sort of weed in the front yard, and I need to get some flower seeds planted, and next week we’re gonna put in a largish magnolia.
And if you’re gonna visit Texas, you need to do it SOON, because in about a month or so you’d melt.
What I didn’t expect was a bunch of emails and texts from other trainees after my former superviser (who likes to check in on my progress and accessed my results in their supervisory capacity) told my mark to their new trainee, who then told everyone else.
Yes I got a good mark, but no, I really didn’t want everyone to know, so, you know, thanks for that.
:smack: Sounds like your former supervisor could go hang out with my fifth grade teacher, who wrote the highest and lowest scores from that year’s ITBS on the blackboard.
My nausea seems to have abated within the last 24 hours. Thankfully I can eat and drink today without throwing up. My biggest problem right now is that I am incredibly tired. I swear I need at least ten hours sleep eat day and another hour’s nap at night.
Hey, Mr. Bus Driver - you might be ahead of schedule and dawdling down the road to kill time, but the traffic trying to get to work behind you would really, truly like you to get up to the speed limit. And the school zones? Not in effect until 7:30 am - it’s 7:15. HAUL ASS!
Sincerely,
The driver of the Corolla that you probably can’t see behind you.
For the first time in almost ever, I woke up this morning to the first alarm (I usually hit the snooze twice), listened to the radio for a minute or so before it congealed beyond a bunch of annoying noises into coherent voices, then considered turning it off and going back to sleep.
By that time I was awake enough to realize that would be a Bad Idea™.
