Hey awesomesauce,
Don't come behind my bar. Don't. Ever. I am working fast-paced and everything is precariously placed. You wanted the lights to be brighter so you came behind the bar to touch their switches? They're set at the level my manager chose three months ago and have been running at that level ever since. Nothing, nothing, NOTHING excuses you walking behind my bar to "brighten up the joint." Don't come behind my bar, and don't touch the light switches. We're not insured for your stupidity.

Title: What the Long Road Entails Fandom: Gossip Girl Pairing: Blair/Serena Rating: NC-17 Disclaimer: I don’t own anything from GG, I wish! Summary: Their friendship always seemed to be a love-hate type, but Serena and Blair were destined to be best friends, during times of love or hate. Throughout the years their friendship had withstood many hardships that strengthened it further and further, but if they can prevail through what is about to become of their friendship next, then the word “friendship” will have a whole new meaning! A/N: I am so very sorry that it has taken me so long to update! Don't be angry at me. School has just been kicking my ass, and LJ doesn't work there either. But now since it is winter break I will have a while to write and update!

Hi! Real women have My Place of Business.
Just a couple of things for my less-than-favorite members (and would-be members):
[1] We ask that you carry in your work out shoes. This is because the dirt, water, debris, whathaveyou that you track in damages our work out equipment, specifically our "boards" (rest stations between pieces of equipment.) And that shit ain't cheap, let alone easy to clean. So when you wear in your sneakers on a rainy, muddy day, and we ask if you (a) would mind working out in socks, (b) have another pair to wear, or (c) could please work out in front of the boards, we're just trying to save ourselves money, which in turn saves you money. Quit bitching about being picked on. You're not.
[2] When we have donation deals that say "Bring in x [school supplies, turkey, non-perishables, etc] and get the service free waived," guess what? You need to bring in x to get the service fee waived. No, we won't just waive it for shits and giggles. You aren't that special.
[3] No, I didn't put your birthday up on the calendar (which, by the way, I came up with and put together and update and make pretty all on my own, not because it's my job, not because I get paid more or praised, but because I want to enhance the experience). I didn't put it up because I don't know it. I don't know it because it's not on your sign-in card or even your membership papers. You didn't put it there. Don't get mad at me for not being psychic.
[4] Stop. Coming. Behind. The desk. ffs.
[5] I know I look pretty young--about 17 instead of 24--but even if I was 17, I wouldn't need you to talk to me like I'm a widdle girl who wants to grow up to be a pretty pretty princess. Even if I was 17, I'd be mature enough to not need you to be SO EXCITED or SO SAD over what's going on in my life. Specifically the "Awwww, that's GREAT!" and "Ohhhh, that must make you unhappyyyyy," and the "Well isn't that EXCITING! :D :D :D" kind of stuff. I don't need your tone of voice, hand gestures, body language, or facial expressions to guide me through the proper emotions. I appreciate the good will behind it all, but...please stop. You seriously talk to me like I'm five, but you'll talk to the 18-year-old member as if she's, well, 18. Wtf. I'M TWENTY FOUR.
On a happy note: Thank you to the mother & daughter work out buddies who gave me a present! Every Friday they ask about my "pub night," a weekly gathering I do with my friends...and they gave me a Christmas card with gift card to the pub inside! :D :D :D :D

| Invisible items! |
[18 Dec 2009|08:51pm] |
as the title suggests, items in my game have suddenly started turning invisible.
wait, let me explain better.
I'll place an object, and it works fine, and then I'll resume playing the game somewhere out of the line of sight of the object and after a while it'll just disappear, but my sims can still use them, although only by themselves, I can't click on it.
So far it's happened to two objects, the expensive Maxis microwave, and the expensive Maxis telescope.
my hood is fairly new, and all my hacks are up to date, as is CEP.
I have all expansions except Uni + holiday stuff, H&M, kitchen and bathroom, mansions and gardens, family fun stuff...I think that's it.
Any suggestions?

H-D Dealership.
We got this Rocker Powerwheels for kids. We assembled one for display on the floor, and being the idiot that I am, I connected the battery.
Woman,
When I ask you to please not you let your child do laps around my fucking department on the Powerwheels, fucking listen to me.
The woman your hellion hit was WALKING WITH A CANE!
DO NOT scream in my face that I eventually skip you entirely and ask your snotty brat to quit.
Thanks,
Me

| Dear Customers, |
[19 Dec 2009|12:17am] |
Please don't throw your money at me. I am trying my best to bag your items with limited space as my co-worker is attempting to use the card machine on my till due to the other having technical difficulties. I do know you are there and I fully intend to take your money as soon as I have rang up and bagged your items. This also leads to you dropping your money down the gap at the front of the till and me having to get out front to collect it for you. Which leads to you being at my till for longer than necessary. Waving your notes in my face also does not make me ring you up any faster, it just annoys me and means you are probably going to drop your money and have me come rescue it.
Yours,
Till Lady
PS
To the small child enthusiastically singing jingle bells the whole time he was in the shop and receiving death glares from the other customers:
it made my day to see someone who was clearly enjoying themselves, admittedly at the expense of the other customers and his own mother but still.

| Expansion Packs/Furniture troubles? |
[18 Dec 2009|02:40pm] |

Hi guys. I posted here a few months ago about not being able to use custom furniture, but that's fixed thankfully! However, I recently got a few expansion packs and I installed them (If it matters, I have Pets, OFB, Uni, Seasons, and Nightlife) and I go into the game and I want to use the custom furniture I have but I go into the sort by room and sort by function folders and none of the furniture is there. It's not in its collections folder either. I DO have Custom Content turned on. The downloads folder says that all the furniture is still there. Any reason as to why it's not showing up? TIA!

| NY Post: ‘5 Reasons Vampire Diaries is better than Twilight’ |
[18 Dec 2009|06:58pm] |
The NY Post throws down the gauntlet and ticks off five reasons why Vampire Diaries is better than Twilight, citing legacy, violence, sex, a strong, independent female lead, and how Vampire Diaries is the under-dog:
“The vampires, while pretty, are still sort of vicious,” explained Lindsay Soll, editor of MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog. “When they’re hungry and about to feed, their fangs come out — they don’t even have fangs in ‘Twilight’ — and their veins stick out. They’re not afraid to make pretty people ugly.”
They’re also not afraid to make pretty people die.

| Help finding a couple of outfits? |
[18 Dec 2009|10:17am] |
I figure this is a long shot but I've spent hours now searching for a couple of toddler outfits and I just can't seem to find them, so if anyone recognizes these outfits, can you please point me in the right direction? I'd love you forever!

This is not so much a specific incident, just a note I wish I could put up at work covering the usual sucks that come with my (normally lovely) job.
( Sucks of my job not caused by the regulars )
Tl;dr: A list I wish I could put up in the pub to be rid of the weekly annoyances. I can dream.

Dear Caribbean Stud players, in particular
Two things, First of all, the rule is, ONLY ENGLISH may be spoken while the hand is in progress. There is a reason for this rule - we cannot allow you to talk about your cards while you are all looking at them. This would let you know what others had, and in turn know more about the odds of your hand winning - in short, it is cheating.
If we cannot understand what you're saying, we cannot allow you to say it. The government has mandated this. So no, I don't particularly care that you don't speak more than a few words of English - you're a lovely lot the rest of the time, and I really enjoy you all, but while the cards are out, you have three choices. Either use the English you do have, don't speak at all, or get thrown out. The rules are the rules, and they are not changing for you.
Second thing - and this is aimed at someone who I know spoke English very well, since he and I had been having a conversation prior to this. If you need to buy more chips to finish a hand, i.e. you don't have enough to bet, you need to give me SOME SORT OF INDICATION. Don't just throw cash on top of your cards, obscuring them from view. Yes, I admit that I should be keeping track of who has folded, but when I look around the table, and I see no cards in front of you, only cash, and you're sitting there having a chat to your partner, I'm going to assume that I have already folded you, that the cash is to buy in for the next hand, and I will open my hand.
There was no need, sir, to berate me for my mistake. It was your sloppiness and inattentiveness that directly led to my mistake. Everyone else manages to throw their cash to the side of the cards. Everyone else manages to give me some sort of indication as to what they want to do. Even the non English speakers manage very well with hand gestures and the few words they do know. In short, sir, you were the one acting like a twatwaffle, so don't take it out on me. Oh, good, look, you've now got the rest of the table involved - they're all shouting you down, telling you to sit down and shut up, because everyone knows you're wrong, and the game can't go on until you stop kicking up a fuss.
Furthermore, there was also no need to keep increasing your bets to, as you said, "finish. I don't want to play here anymore." No one is holding a gun to your head sir. If you don't want to play anymore, pick up your chips and walk away. Stop muttering under your breath and giving me evil looks, because I could care less about whether you stay or go.
No love,
Me.
EDITED, because apparently perfection is still expected and as yet unattainable.

[17 Dec 2009|10:39pm] |
I work at a calendar kiosk for the holidays. Two of my first customers were a married couple. The man asked if we had any plain blotter-type calendars. I replied that yes, we did, and they were only $4.99.

| You are not right- You are rascist, stupid and a liar. |
[18 Dec 2009|02:28pm] |
I work for a commercial refrigeration company. (Big refrigs/freezer for large restaurants, morgues, food shops etc). I just want to say the following:
1. Referring to our mechanics as niggers, 'those blacks', lebbers, pakkis etc is NOT ON. Because someone is from another ethnicity does not mean they are not highly trained and qualified for their jobs. Also, you got them all wrong. They aren't Lebanese. One is half Portuguese and one is Korean. If you are going to insult people's race at least get it right so you don't looke ven more stupid.
2. OPENING THE CONTROL PANEL AND PLAYING WITH SWITCHES and ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT when there is a large sign stuck on that says don't and us telling you not to touch things as it is dangerous doesn't mean our product is broken, it means YOU tampered with it.
3. Yes, those wires in there ARE dangerous. Thank you for pointing out that is a safety hazard. That is exactly why it is labeled and sealed of with screws you people don't open the panel and touch things.
4. No Madam, that is not a gas leak and no, you can not smell gas. Claiming we are ripping you off by making gas leak from your cool room on purpose and making it leak out so we can set your shop on fire is... beyond stupid.
-a: R404a is a gas which does not have an odor. At all. No, it doesn't have a colour either.
-b: Rotting fruit smell doesn't know like any asses I've ever smelled apart from my dad farting after eating a whole pineapple.
-c: We aren't ripping you off so we can come back to get your money. We want everything to go well so we never have to see or talk to your snobby, racist self ever ever again. Srsly.
5. No, you can't report us to the food health and safety people because you TOOK THE VENT COVER OFF THE FAN EXAUST THINGY AND LET A MOUSE IN WHOS HEAD GOT CHOPPED OFF AND GOT STINKY. They deal with people who serve food, not people who deal with idiots who void warranties. Maybe I should report you to them. Thanks.
GRUMBLE.
UPDATE: Then refuse to pay your bill because your room stunk because your fruit is rotting because the cool room was hot because you adjusted the settings illegally and had a rotting decapitated mouse because you removed a cover and your shop is filthy. You can blame it on a 'smelly gas leak' and 'faulty coolroom panel' all you like. Report YOU signed says other wise. I will have your money, and am going to request we put you on our never to go list. EVER.
*I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors. Raging :/

| Start-up Problem? |
[17 Dec 2009|09:48pm] |
|
I keep trying to start my Sims 2 game, but it won't load past the screen that says something about "Genetic Modifiers" (or something to that effect.) It should be the last thing or so to load, but it takes FOREVER to load, and I've waited 30 minutes before shutting it off and it still never loaded past that screen. Does anyone know why this could be happening? I do have a lot of cc downloaded... but would that do anything to it? I do have a pretty slow computer, but it's never done this to me before, just the past few nights I've tried.

| No reason to get huffy |
[17 Dec 2009|08:26pm] |
I do mostly show grooming, but also work afternoons at a boarding kennel.
Ma'am, Scotties are not a popular breed, and honestly yours are the first I've even seen in the area, this includes shows. All the Scotties I have seen, have been black. So when I see your wheaten (cream) colored Scotties and see your card that identifies them are "Wheaten Scotties," it was a perfectly honest mistake to think they were Wheaten Terrier/ Scottie crosses. There is no reason to get huffy, and announce they are registered purebred Scotties and flounce out.
Notes: I looked it up, AKC does in fact recognize wheaten colored Scotties.

[17 Dec 2009|06:52pm] |
If you say 'This Saturday' my brain assumes you mean this upcoming saturday, which has yet to occur, which will be the 19th. I do not read minds. I am not going to assume that 'this Saturday' means the 26th. If you tell me 'this Saturday', you're getting tickets for THIS Saturday, not NEXT Saturday. Furthermore, do not get angry with me for making a logical assumption.
No love,
The Ballet Wench who has since decided that she will ask for the specific date from now on when told 'this upcoming (insert day of the week')

#1. I cannot transfer your call. I can't. I can transfer you to my pharmacy desk, to my nurse desk, or even to my rooms if necessary, but I cannot transfer your call to the grooming salon, to specialty, or to the manager of the red bouncing ball. It can't be done. When you call the main number, you can pick me as a service and it will connect you, but that's the extent of it. I can't hand my phone to anyone. They're all corded, and it would be a QC issue to even try to do so.
#2. Along with being super convenient to get all of Fluffy's services done at once, there is also a bit of confusion associated with being right next door to the grooming salon. The number of times I get the "MY DOG COMES THERE ALL THE TIME! HDU NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE ME AN APPOINTMENT" etc etc. No, I can't transfer your call there, see #1.
#3. Yes, I know to you we're expensive, but it's not because we're just money hungry--you get what you pay for here. We do a pre-exam, run a full panel of bloodwork before we put your pet under anesthesia, catheterize, intubate, use quality anesthesia, provide fluids, a preventive antibiotic injection, and a pain med injection. It pisses me off to get bitched out every day for providing people with price quotes. No, we won't not do the bloodwork or the injections. I get that this isn't the best option if you're just neutering/spaying the neighborhood stray, but I'm more than happy to provide you with the name of low cost facilities. Which brings me to #4...
#4. NO, I WILL NOT PRICEMATCH THE MOBILE CLINIC'S NEUTER PRICE. I've already explained to you our pricing and why it's so high. Give them a call and see what the $40 includes. Yeah, that's why we're different, so STFU!

used cd/dvd/game store
Kind of a wtf, kind of a suck.
So a man walks into the store, I say "Hello!:D" and he sort of just gives me a look and keeps going. Okay, lots and lots of people do that. Whatever. Well after a while he comes up to the counter with three cd's he wants to get. I say "okay, just give me one second and I'll get your discs" (we pull all discs out of the case to avoid theft). He just throws them down and says "No, no you won't get them." and starts walking out the door. As he is leaving he yells "What, am I Russian or something?!".
I... just....what?
