TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

ah yes, i remember that. freshman year of college i came home one day to melted orange popsicles leaking EVERYWHERE. ew.

xpost Well, we know how to draw lingbert out, and perhaps how to mollify him now!

xpost, part II I can't remember, but you might be right. I have got to buy myself copies of all three seasons of that show. I know I missed a lot of funny stuff because I was distracted by laughing.

Hmmm, odd little night. Nothing major, just a variety of small things.

Hi Ned! I hope odd doesn't mean bad...

REALLY going to sleep now (I hope) bump

Night Sara :)

Why Oh Why Oh Why did I watch the goat thing? :(

Internet hardman's birfday thread seems to have been...removed? Did he try to eat the bacon roll I posted?

Whenever someone says "internet hardman" I get the same feeling as when a girl I used to date refers to her new boyfriend.

Internet hardmen, I imagine, don't post bovril and marmite between continents. Or use emoticons.

True. The Bovril gets posted tomorrow, after I finish beating myself up for throwing away those small pieces of bubble wrap which I'd never have any use for.

i have lots of bubble wrap, maybe i should post you some and then you can use it to post the bovril, this scheme should work because i am a champion at mailing things.

home, tired, bump

sympathetic r-r-rebump

dude have you called the girl?

hi you two

hi estela

are you getting more and more excited every day miss ruby? i hope so.

yessss... but more and more stressed. the list of THINGS I MUST DO is seemingly endless. i don't like having to do stuff. and i swear to god that both my jobs are about to kill my spirit. i die a little inside every day i have to go.

actually, that's not totally true: it's just the shoe store - the restaurant ain't so bad.

oooooooohhh! this woman called me 'FUCKING RUDE' tonight! awesome!

i almost told her that i thought SHE was also fucking rude. but i bit my tongue instead.

what was the lead up?

you should memorise some civil shakespearean retorts to hurl back for such occasions. e.g. "I bite my thumb at thee.... b-atch"

she wasn't even in my section, but the slack fucks doing the front room needed my help. her and her 3 middle-aged drunk cronies were being loud and obnoxious and i was rushed. i put their plates down and as i was walking/running off one of them started to ask for cutlery and i cut her off and said yep, cutlery and napkins are on the way. apparently (i was outta earshot) she yelled out THAT GIRL WAS FUCKING RUDE which was followed by THEY'RE ALL FUCKING RUDE.

then my boss kicked them out.

ok, not really... they continued being assholes, a whole bunch of ppl left out of disgust, one of my bosses told them to leave, while my other two bosses totally chickenshit themselves trying to make amends. it was quite a farce.

i have never been tolerant of assholes and i'm no good at biting my tongue when people are downright rude. fortunately the customer service jobs i've had have been in places where i was actively encouraged to tell the customers to go fuck themselves if they were unpleasant.

and no, have not yet called the girl. I'm in Brighton tomorrow and Sunday so if anything happens it won't be til next week/weekend anyway. also still a bit O_o over the late night phonecall but i can get over that. hothothothothothot

i'm always way too slow to say anything sharp and cutting. it's usually not until the moment has passed that i think of something.

oh i was never sharp and/or cutting. sample dialogue b/w me and wanker customer:

Customer: I've been standing here for fucking ages! Why the fuck won't you serve me?
Me: Because you're a cunt.

ah the power of the barman. loved that job.

(btw, for other itr-ers, I am nicer than that usually. angry period of my life that one.)

i had never seen chickenshit used as a verb before

Customer: I've been standing here for fucking ages! Why the fuck won't you serve me?
Me: Because you're a cunt.

wow

it's a kiwi thing

As vicious and unpleasant as that exchange seems it was just the way things were at that particular club. It was the absolute scummiest of rock venues and the customers knew what to expect and quite happy to put up with that kind of treatment. The manager was always downstairs in the office mainlining vodka and hoovering up coke so the bar staff pretty much had carte blanche to handle things as we saw fit (within reason).

irritable because show that i really wanted to see tonight is sold out, and if i hadn't been such a lazy shump i could have easily gotten presale tickets bump

Wow my former jobs seem so dull and lifeless now. xpost

Also, that sucks John - sorry.

I really do think you need a naggy secretary in your life to take on these tasks for you.

It would give you someone new to complain about, too.

A fun afternoon of reading about viral hepatitis and cancer awaits me bump

two minute study break bump

I SAW A WORM bump

KRAFTWERK show planning afoot for robotic funtime tomorrow.

I wish they would turn people into cyborgs at their shows. ;_;

they kind of do if you start dancing!

o_O

happy weekend guyz!!!!!
and happy spring break to me!!!!!

Oh John, you're getting a sex change AND you're getting a tummy tuck! You'll be a very beautiful mommy.

Good lord, that book!

But yes, John will look very pretty, I am sure.

It reminds me of the story a friend who worked at a publishing company told me about one of the submissions they got. It was a similar type of children's book, only it was called Daddy's New Hair. They passed on the manuscript.

Daddy's Little Blue Pills

I invented a new word.

EMONEBRIATION

That is all

i am liking this.
