pione

Two billions people have been calling my phone today. Normally I'd feel flattered that I'm so popular, but I already know that it all has to do with moving, car wrecks, and family problems. I want a spam filter on my phone...

confirtable

A woman called my department today asking if we had a particular comforter in stock, which we did, then started harping at me to set it aside for her until she got back in town. I told her why we couldn't do that but she was insistent, as if I just do things like that in spite of my manager's plans for setting up a store wide inventory. With other people trying to check out through me right then and there I've got to admit that this woman being stubbornly persistent at me over the phone for a sale which may or may not happen and even then may or may not count towards my quota, I couldn't make myself really care too much. Lesson of the day: beating stringy promises out of strangers is pretty much pointless.

traps

I've been meaning to go buy fly paper for my kitchen, which is now overrun with fruit flies, but I ended up feeling really lazy when I woke up. Instead I wasted time on the YouTubes and found a fly trap design. I spent a little over an hour reading about it and dragging stuff out and getting it to fit together, so really it didn't save time or effort at all. I hope the damn thing works.

sheesh fly

Flies have taken over my kitchen! Sheesh you'd think they were invited, the way they've moved in. I try my best to catch them all but really I look like a stupid idiot clapping excitedly alone in my apartment. The fact I have flies for company and no people means that I have to pay the utilities bill all on my own. If flies don't do one thing, they don't help pay energy bills and they do that very well.

boiled hardcore

A working environment begins to affect a person. After spending hours upon hours wondering around the vacant housewares department I found certain thoughts and preoccupations starting to root themselves in my psyche. I think that's why I cannot craving hard boiled eggs. Eggs and their hard boiled cousins get so much package picture placement its unavoidable! And all the ridiculous and over priced devices we sell that deal specifically with hard boiled eggs. I just want to eat hard boiled eggs!

four sides

People tend to depict hell as a fiery pit of pain and agony. I have a much easier time picturing it as a huge waiting room. I just spent a good two hours in a waiting rooms today trying to get my social security stuff fixed. Let me tell you, I almost forgot the pure torture of sitting there in a waiting room while thinking to myself: "man I want to just get this all settled and have it over with... but this is taking forever! Should I just leave and come back later?!" The place had some incoherent priority listing. People of all sizes, pixels, and polygons dropped in the seats on either side of me like I was in the middle of Tetris and then were called up to the counter before me. We all had a random number between 1 and 999 and a letter, but the order in which they were called didn't seem to follow any pattern. Talk about a tedious day, it reminds me why I don't like dealing with government. It also made me want to play Tetris... someone has to help those shapes get out of there!
