Stuff
We went to Best Buy this afternoon to see if we could find a mouse for Bruce. Bought one, but after trying it out, he decided he didn't like it. ;_; So we'll be returning it sometime this week. *sigh* We also got Wii Play. Thought about getting a nunchuk as well, since they are cheap and just include the regular controller, but we figured so far nothing much needs it, so it's not a priority.
I also saw they do have a volleyball game! It's called Big Beach Sports and it's got soccer, football, volleyball, lawn bowling, frisbee golf, and...something? I don't know, there are six sports, so obviously I'm forgetting something. Anyway. Volleyball! I think we might actually go down to Blockbuster and see if we can rent some games to give them a try first. (I wonder if our account is even still good anymore...)
When we were at Fry's I saw they had a program for Wii that allowed you to transfer Miis to your computer, but it was $19.99! I would really like to post Bruce's and mine, but not for $20. I tried to take a picture of the TV, but it wouldn't work. :(
This evening we walked up to the neighborhood market to buy some more lunch meat (they have such a good deli, and this time the roast beef was even better than before, so red it was practically mooing...mmm...). Everything was going well until about halfway home, when Bruce accidentally stepped off the sidewalk onto the parkway, which is about two inches down and stumbled and fell flat on the sidewalk. Thankfully he didn't sprain or break anything (including his glasses) or even tear his clothes, but he skinned his elbows and palms and chin (though his beard saved him from a worse skinning) and jarred one wrist pretty bad. He managed to hobble home and hopefully will feel better in the morning.
It's been pretty warm lately, which means sandwich weather! We've been having so many delicious sandwiches. Today I had three, one for each meal. :D Egg salad (with tomato and sprouts on toasted whole grain bread) for breakfast, BST (bacon, sprouts, and tomato) on toasted sourdough for lunch (I used a whole tomato which was actually a bit too much as I could barely get my mouth around it), and roast beef (with tomato, sprouts, and muenster cheese on egg bread) for dinner. Mmm...sammiches!
Oh, and speaking of warm weather, I cut my hair again the other day. I hadn't cut it in a couple months, so it was getting long. I buzzed it at 3, which is almost to my scalp, and I keep forgetting about it until I see my reflection or my shadow and then I'm like "oh! I have no hair!" XD

I really don't know where to start with you.
First, you decide, hell, you could really care less about the game. You, being the mod, are going to just concentrate on your smut threads and never mind posting with your plot-essential character in the plot-advancing threads. Then, when the whispers of discontent with your shitty modding start, you decided all the fun has gone out of the community. You repeatedly hold off on posting and drop not so subtle hints about deleting.
( The sadface continues. )

Yes! The sign in the window says "Up to 90% off!"
It also says "While supplies last."
Today is the last day of the sale.
STOP BITCHING THAT THERE ARE NO 90% OFF ITEMS.
*praises God that today was the last day*

Don't launch into a twenty minute spiel about your life, giving me every horrid little detail despite the fact that it is busy, and then when I say, "Could you hold on just one minute, I'm sorry" say, "OH, am I BORING you?" as if I am such a bitch for needing and wanting to do my job and help other people and not chit chat with you about non-work related things.
No. Before you were amusing me. Now you're annoying me. But please, continue to go on and on about how your sister just doesn't understand the concept of credit card debt. If we take this journey together, I'm almost positive I could arrive at Bored out of my Fucking Mind very soon. I sense you're an experienced leader and it would not be your first time guiding someone on that particular adventure.

All is fair in love, and we're in--- wait, what?!
Mmmkay, so, I'm in this forum RP. It's a canon and OC mix game, which I don't have a problem with, most of the time, since I like interacting with new folks, too.
Important facts: I am not a mod in this game; my character is not involved in this situation himself; the canon for this game is a sci-fi TV show (currently running, but I'll let you guess what it could be).

Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a smoking wank.
If you have a reservation at a hotel and your company is paying for it, make sure before coming that the hotel allows smoking. Otherwise upon arriving and learning the hotel is non smoking, don't go off on a rant about how you're a four pack a day smoker and you need to smoke.
As for the woman who I talked about last night? Yeah, she's scamming the hotel alright.
Turns out the credit card that I made an imprint of last night when she checked in, declined when the AM shift ran it to get payment for a phone charge
Claims she is a Priority Club member and has enough points to stay for a few nights but the 'Public Relations' people don't know it. I'm beginning to suspect the 'PR' she used was just a friend calling in an English accent.
Refusing to offer any forms of payment.
I don't know why we're allowing her to have another night here, but tomorrow when the General Manager gets in, he's going to have a long talk with her.

(BEWARE OF LETTER FORMAT) Dearest RPers,
If you're going to play a pre-existing character, PLEASE actually read/watch/play the source material. I know, this seems basic, but nowadays many RPers seem to have the logic that Wikipedia will tell them everything they need to know. It's creating a character only from a few vague ideas, and then playing them without ever fleshing them out - you'll just make things up as you go along, and generally have no clue what you're supposed to be doing.
Let's face it - you saw a pretty character design, and thought you'd snag it without caring who the character is. It's not against the law, but you shouldn't be too surprised when you don't actually do a remotely good job.
Yes, yes, I get that "RP is just for fun, you don't need to know much", "I've been doing this for years and no one notices", "Kingdom Hearts is too haaard for me", and "I play them better than people who know the canon anyway"- Wait, how would you know that? YOU DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE CANON.
I just think it wouldn't kill you to put forth a little effort, because even if you think no one notices, trust me, THEY DO.
Sincerely,
A Fellow RPer Who's Tired of Seeing Characters Who Have No Freaking Idea What Their Own Motives, Ideals, Fears, And Abilities Are, And Fumble Cluelessly When Interracting With Characters Who They Canonly Should Know How To Deal With

A bit of a wtf
Okay. I work at a southern food restaurant, but it's ALL OVER THE US. :D
Script FO-mat.
Me = promptly seating you with friendly service :D
L = Lay-dee (Lady, lolzzz)
LF = Lady's friend.
Me: Hello, welcome to southern food restaurant, how many will it be today?
L: Two.
Me (gathering menus and utensils): Right this way.
So I show them to Table 1.
L: It's dirty! D:
Me: Oh, ma'am. I apologize. Let me get something to clean it off for you.
I come back with a cleaning cloth.
Let me just go ahead and say it now; today was Sunday rush, and we only had one busboy. It's possible that the table was a bit dirty. Some were, and I wiped them down. It's no big deal; I don't mind cleaning up.
BUT this table wasn't dirty. It was spotless. However, our tables are artificially distressed, in some cases, more than others. The surface has no dips or things, it just looks beaten up. It's supposed to be somehow homey.
I wipe the table down anyway.
L: D: It's still dirty!
Me: Ma'am, I think it's just irregualrities in the woo-
L (interrupting): It's dirty. *scowl*
Me: I'll get someone here to take care of the table, but let me seat you somewhere else.
So I show her to Table 2. It's one of the less distressed ones.
Me: Will this be fine?
L: Yes. It's not dirty
I do the menu spiel and try to mention our special and get back to the host desk.
L (as I walk away): *glare* Just clean the tables better next time, okay?
D:
So, later, I'm standing at the host desk; it's a little slow. L and LF are exiting the restaurant and LF comes up to me while L is in restroom and says that the first table was spotless and she apologizes if L inconvenienced us. I told her it was my pleasure to help them out, and to be sure to come back soon.
TL;DR Ma'am, the tables are distressed, not dirty.

Right, so I found this community and, being one of those hourly-wages customer-service-type workers, found it so delightful that I had to join! I figure I might as well put in my own little story as an initiation. It happened over a year ago, but it's still, uh, "fresh".
Considering how many males attend our overnighters, I can't say I have any clue as to who was responsible for this, but ALL the men who went in there afterwards, especially the ones who (FOR SOME REASON) threw more and more paper towels or toilet paper into the broken toilet, and did not tell us? I hope this comes back to them threefold.
Fuckers.

This one is a little old, but after thinking on it for a few days, I decided it needed a post. I wasn't involved in the suck, but I was told about it after it happened by a co-worker who'd handled the suck.
We were out of our homestyle potato salad we sell in the cold case bar and we wouldn't be getting any in until the truck with it on it came. Cue this man who wants the potato salad we do not have, but does not want the substitute in the pre-packaged containers, priced at $2.50, we sell out on the floor when offered.
So my co-worker says to him she will open one of our big tubs of the potato salad we also sell and weigh it under the price as our homestyle salad that we do not have. He agrees. She scoops out the roughly two pounds that he wants in a large container and weighs it up. It's a little over two pounds and the price comes to $4.98 before taxes.
The man then proceeds to explode; "That's too much!" My co-worker kindly points out if he'd gotten two of those pre-packaged containers it would cost the same. The man pitches a royal fit; "I don't want those! I want that!" (the potato salad he claimed was too much).
Then came this little gem "Well, I guess I just won't have any potato salad for the 4th of July!" and stomps off without the potato salad.
Me: o_O *brain melts*
The pre-packaged containers are $2.50 for two pounds. *headdesk*

Stupid customers and poop.
Two stories.
1.
My sister works at Borders and recently there was a huge commotion on the headsets. A customer complained about poop on the floor in the men's room. The employees started arguing about who would have to clean it up. When they finally found a poor victim to send in, he approached the messy stall only to find a customer inside it already. He hurried out of the bathroom and hid in the back room where he could peer out the window and wait for the man to leave. It took what seemed like forever and the whole time the employees continued speculating on their headsets. When the man finally left he walked right out, not seeming to notice that he had stepped in the poop until he looked down, realized his shoe was sticky, and wiped it all over the carpet in the kids section of the store. o.O SOO disgusting!!
2.
