I'm sorry to hear that, it's shouldn't be a serious illness!
I remember how worried I had been about the operation of my dog back in 2012.

Bentley looks almost like mine, I assume he's a true Yorkshire-Terrier?
Anyway, hopefully he'll be on the road to recovery soon.

I asked him what was going on, and he said he was doing a science show in a little while if we wanted to stick around to see it. The daughter was pulling on my pant leg whispering "Dad! Thats Bill Nye!". I had no idea. Nice guy though, and a good show.

Unloaded approximately 6,000 pounds of cloth and miscellaneous items out of trucks today at work. I am tired.

My day will be summed up in 4 stories:

Spoiler for Bob Geldof:
Our jewelry case has a very important rule: one customer at a time. If you're in line, shut up and wait your turn like an adult. Well, one guy was having none of this. He happened to look a lot like Bob Geldof (he even had some ridiculous hair and five o'clock shadow) and he was pretty angry that I couldn't break the laws of physics to situate a ring's tag to be visible from the tray. He was a major assclown; he snapped "well if you people could make the tag visible, I wouldn't have had to bother you" - as if my presence was somehow irritating him, and I inconvenienced him somehow by giving his rude ass the time of day. Idiot.


Spoiler for Suicide granny:
I was telling one of our senior customers about another senior customer who said (when declaring his senior status for the discount) that he wished he wasn't a senior. Well, this lady felt free to tell me that she was ready for death and even her "daughter is waiting for a call from the coroner". WELL then.


Spoiler for Abercrombie & Bitch:
I was rolling a full rack of unwanted clothing from fitting rooms, back to their respective spots. I'd left it just barely in the way of a very posh blonde woman, wearing a ponytail, a white scarf, and a very nice peacoat. I apologized for being in her way (though she could have walked around it, but chose to be a huge bitch about it) and she just hissed "exCUUUUSE MEEEE". Drive your ass back to Abercrombie; we don't want your kind here. Bitch.


Spoiler for Special family:
Toward the beginning of the last hour of my shift, I noticed that the racks were pulled away from the otherwise-blocked handicapped-accessible fitting room. I thought it was a little strange, and that someone had opened it willy-nilly for an impatient ninny, but I was pleased to find that a family had used it for the right reasons - I assume one of their many children had cerebral palsy or cystic fibrosis or some other tragic illness. I waited patiently for them to exit the fitting room, and figured the cleanup would be minimal to zero.

I have never been so wrong.

They trashed the entire thing. Hangers everywhere, clothes on the floor, clothes inside-out, random objects from throughout the store just laying on the bench and floor. It was a nightmare. I understand that they have a huge responsibility but I'm also convinced that the parents were hardly competent themselves. After that I watched their many able-bodied children throw hats and scarves everywhere. Goddamn breeders.


Also we were severely understaffed and my overall feeling toward my clientele was "please go home and kill yourselves".

is there such a thing as "death with dignity" there?

there are a few states in the US where if you have a severe illness (and you're not expected to live more than 6-8 months) and your pain is so unbearable that all you're doing is suffering, you can sign for doctor-assisted suicide.

there are other places (I think one is Switzerland) where anyone found to be of sound mind, with clear reasoning, can choose to die with the assistance of a doctor.

Similar sort of thing, the top review - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Thr.../dp/B002DGFYFA

Superb. There was another, a Manchester United jigsaw puzzle of the Director or some other obscure board role, but I can't find it.

I have seen that before, and I laugh so much every time I read it.
