Look at this monster

Does she let you rub her tummy?

Usually. (And then she grabs my hand with her big floof paws and gently gnaws on me while purring. She prefers to chew on wires and purse straps though of course)

‘Retired’ is a very generous way to put it. I basically lost my temper one time too many and walked off the job. If you had an acupuncture patient who had been stuck thousands of times and one day was given just another regular poke and said ‘wtf fy stick me again and I’ll smash your ****ing face in’ that’s what I did. I was going along more or less plugging through and then with a blink of the eye I said you know what **** this and left and didn’t come back. No plan b, no nothing.

So what do you do now?

Barnes and Noble just laid off so many of my friends it's insane. ALL the old people who have been there for YEARS got let go in a company wide spur of the moment lay off. My managers have been crying all day and night. They were just told with no warning to fire a list of people on the spot. They called my friend up, who has been home with the flu, and fired him over the phone. 19 years and he gets it over the phone.

If you have a Barnes and Noble near you, stop by and enjoy it while it lasts. Be really nice to all the employees because we all lost a lot of friends in the last day and a half.

Whoever made this decision to do it like this can eat a huge sh*t sandwich. This is not how you save a company. This is how you save money for your corporate severance pays. They're tanking the company and trying to salvage what they can for themselves.

C*nts.

It won’t stop without violence.

Besides my pm jan I’m trying to create a new narrative for my life built on a semi-fictitious past.

Luckily I live in a place that has an abundance of smaller book and record shops that I'd rather go to than B&B.

Some news from my job: the obnoxious ****boy salesman that sits next to me quit! Yay! It's going to be so much easier to work without that mouthbreather derping on the phone all day.

Shopping at Barnes and Noble is about as fun as getting a root canal.

Is that where you’re doing your record store?

As long as you keep an ipod of your music on you at all times, you can threaten them with that. I guarantee you, even Mexican Cartel hitmen have their breaking points!
Even if they're not dead?
I just wanted someone else to take notice, not just ignore it. I forgot we'll all heartless ****ing bastards.
The important thing is, you tried...
Terrible news. One of the massive bookstores (massive for Ireland that is) here shut down a few years ago - Waterstones. Nobody expected it, but I guess with online book sales, Amazon, Kindle etc, it was coming. But yeah, **** way to treat your employees. Hope the **** gets a heart attack. Preferably while reading his favourite book.
