Went to express.com to buy some stuff. Ended up applying to work there.
And aren’t you glad you went on for your Master’s?
I did everything “right” and am still applying for jobs I could have gotten at 18. Worst decision I ever made.

I like that term “wilderness years.”
Wilderness years. I’m so glad...

I seriously turned this book around on my shelf so I couldn’t see the spine and get scared. One day I’ll be brave enough to finish it.

1.) Because I am aware of my surroundings and my own weaknesses. I fit the “comic relief” and “token minority” roles, but I know this and can use it to my advantage. The comic relief is never the first death, so I just have to be aware of the people around me. If the group’s skank goes missing,…
Keeping this in mind for when the Apocalypse comes again in October.

When I graduate, I don't know where I'm going.

New York is a good city for entertainment journalism.
But then there’s also San Diego, which I miss something fierce. Plus also, Comic Con. I want to go to there.
And I feel Seattle would be good for writing and stuff.
But I’ll probably end up in Charlotte because my financial inability.
Pleh.
This has been a post.
Raleigh is very premium city. Just sayin :)

Things I Witnessed Today
AKA: Why I Hate Everyone Sometimes
Today in the store, I saw an old man run over a little girl’s foot with his shopping cart. Her mom told him to be careful. He proceeds to tell the little girl to stop being “such a pain in the ass.” Dude, she’s 8. You ran over her foot. Get over yourself.
So I told him that he didn’t need to use that kind of language in our...

PS: Sometimes, you might catch yourself thinking, “When is it appropriate to call this Asian girl a mama-san?”
The answer to that question is NEVER. NOT EVER. Do not tell me that I look “exotic” or that I have a “sexy, little Asian voice.” I’m not even sure what that means, but I know that it makes me feel like I need to take a Silkwood shower.
Another customer atrocity against...

Dear Gentlemen Shoppers,
1. Instead of saying you “appreciate [my] burgundy shirt,” just go ahead and admit you were staring at my tits. I know they’re nice, whereas I bought this shirt at Target and it has a hole in the arm.
2. Please do not tell me I am “so beautiful” and ask if I have children when your young daughter and son are STANDING RIGHT THERE. Also, you are 50 years old and I...

When I was counting down the safe, Janice was just suddenly THERE, and I flailed in surprise. I quickly noticed that Janice was judging my life, so I stopped mid-flail and turned it into a snake. Booyah.
Janice judges everyone’s life. And then she says that God tells us not to judge. Bless it.
levstrong asked: Sally.
I miss your face. Tonight at work was hellacious, and several times I found myself asking, "What would Sally do?" I am proud to report that the answer was generally, "Show that bitch the error of her ways and send her out the door cause we don't carry no biscuits with the cheese already baked into them. What the hell she think this is? Red...

I just watched Paula Deen make what looked like a ham sandwich lasagne.

So, we play this Muzak music at work and its always the same songs. So, I decided to inquire what this playlist entails. I went to the Muzak website and discovered that you can look up what a certain station is playing now. After some careful digging I discovered that our station is FM1. If you go…
My life is complete. When I die, this station will be played at my funeral.

Because it’s about a servant and she’s ugly.

Well, okay.

Apparently my brother didn’t do his laundry, so my dad is driving him up, and my mom is flying to the Philippines.
What?
My mom used to go on long drives whenever we didn’t do chores because she’s cray-cray. I admire your mother’s dedication.
