Your Day

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.

If you have a Barnes and Noble near you, stop by and enjoy it while it lasts.

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.

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.

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.

No. I have two jobs at two bookstores.

That’s cool. At least, you’ll have a job if B&N completely collapses.

Not that I wish you any inconvenience but I hope they do crumble completely.

Dude I'm so pissed off at the company right now that I'm right there with you.

The people that work the stores however are amazing. Great people.

Obviously I'm talking about this scenario.
You die. One or more of your dogs is or are still alive. Do you have it in your will that they will be put to sleep and cremated, even though they could live a happy life without you?

Having them put to sleep isn't part of the process, just the cremation.
