These people don't realise the freezer freezes, either.
Customers are idiots. This is not news. A man watched as the oven went off and I, wearing oven mitts, opened it up (he was close enough to the counter that he couldn't possibly have avoided being hit by the heat blast) and removed the baking rack. I closed the door, pushed the rack a safe distance away, and asked how I could help him. He wanted bread off the rack. He was baffled and annoyed when I told him it was too hot to package.
(The subject is another true story, with more repetitions than I like to think about. I have actually had to expand my offer to, "I can check if we have any in the freezer, but it will be frozen." Sometimes they are still surprised.)
30 Days of Video Games
Day 28 - Least favourite game
There have been plenty of games I haven't liked, and even a few I've declared unplayable and walked away from, and also it is really tempting to answer this question with Ecco just because SCREAMING AND VIOLENT RAGE, but instead, I am going to go with this:
See, first off, I don't really like Mario. I also am not a huge fan of fighting games, though, as Dissidia and a few others will attest to, I will still play them if people want to, or I find them entertaining enough, or if the characters are awesome enough. (hahaha back on the Genesis, after the system was old and off the market, my parents would pick up sets of games – which usually came with an additional system, we have at least four of the damn things now – at yard sales! And one such set came with some fighting games, so my brother and I would play them and race to see who could lose first. We'd race to the edge of the arena and fall off and all sorts of stupid things. It was pretty awesome fun.)
But Super Smash Bros. Melee… well. Maybe it could be fun for other people. I've only ever had miserably lousy experiences playing it, though. When you dislike or are mostly unfamiliar with the character cast, it is hard to pick a character to play as, for one. And then the times I've been roped into playing, I've always managed to have at least one fiercely competitive sore loser in the group. I've only ever won by accident, but the last time I played it (back in late 2004), after I somehow managed to actually kill someone else in a four-way free-for-all and thus won the round through some freak fluke, they went after me mercilessly the next few rounds (despite the other two people telling them to relax, already, until I said, 'hey, this sucks, I'm done, find someone else to play', and walked off) so literally all I could do was die. (Also, I was/am entirely unfamiliar with Nintendo's controller set-up, so I was just blindly button mashing trying to figure out what was what, half the time while confusing someone else playing the same character as me. Why am I jumping I thought this button did something else??) Basically, it sucked hardcore, and after that on top of so many other bad experiences with it, I have no problems declaring this my least favourite game.
Everyone is doing awesome stuff with their summer. I know someone who's going to Vietnam for a few months, I know someone who's going to the Amazon, I know someone who's going to Australia (as well as the person already in Australia), I know someone who's planning a month-long journey across the continental USA to visit friends (but not including me, 'cause I am too far from Boston and have no car)... Is it too late for me to reroll my summer to at least include other people...? Everything keeps falling through. I had some plans, too, for someone to come visit for a long weekend, but, surprise (no, not really, at this point), they had to cancel.
I mean, not that I am not excited about BotCon, and omg omg omg Chicagoooo, but, y'know. AND NOT THAT MONEY TROUBLES ARE NOT TOTALLY LEGIT BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND. But it makes me sad, anyway, and my paranoid brain is beginning to wonder if it is some bizarre conspiracy (I should very much like to be able to drop-kick my brain sometimes).
Basically I am sore and whiny 'cause, wah, yet another attempt at hanging out with a friend I never get to see anymore just withered and died. Angst angst angst, no one talks to me, my life are hard, angst.

As for summer... thats sucks that so many people are doing fun things. Around here its the same. And it does suck that one person going cross country won't visit you WTF is up with that? And that the other person canceled. :( It's lame... I'm still annoyed/sad about botcon. I think it is a conspiracy. What do you think is a conspiracy?
And people talk to you. I poke you on messenger all the time =p ok not the same as real life but.. still its something right? :)
no subject
Ugh, seriously, I wish we had a way to get you to Pasadena. I am so bummed. And, I dunno, just sometimes it feels like people go out of their way to avoid communicating with me. I know it is (probably??) just me being oversensitive, but a lot of the people who do it should know by now (I know I've told them...) that I have issues with that stuff. And I know it shouldn't be their problem, having to deal with my problems, but that doesn't stop my brain from reacting badly, you know? I can go around and around and around with this subject, so I'm just going to stop here now.
Yeah, I talk to people on AIM, and it is something! And also fun! But, you know, sometimes it would be nice to have a voice conversation, or, heavens forbid, speak face to face with people, you know?
no subject
Me too... I try not to think about it cause it goes between being sad and anger at my roomie and her bf.
Well... I will say I feel like that sometimes too.. and my solution is to ignore it as much as I can (I know that's not really a solution). Then I remind myself that people are probably just busy and isn't not me but yeah brains can be mean sometimes.
Yeah voice convos are better and in person is even better! I've been lonely lately too and have talked to people over the phone (btw I have called you but you are always at work? the voicemail comes up, lately instantly so maybe phone off? so... yeah :( ) but yeah hanging out with real people would be nice. I get it sometimes but.. tis like when you needed it the most it's not available. Or maybe that's just me and argh angst I'm trying to cheer you up and failing...
ok change sooooo I called you recently you ask you something but you didn't answer and... I'l tell you about something cool in a store if you want but.. dont know when I'll go back and it may not be there next time. It's something you may want me to buy for you let me know if you want to know what is it.
no subject
Ah, yeah, if it goes straight to voicemail, it's 'cause I'm at work. That's the only time I turn it off. (2-8 pm my time is usually not a good time to call in, 'cause those are the hours I'm usually at or walking to work during.) I am sad to have missed it, augh! (Like, right now especially, with the pills and all, I wish I had someone around I could be like, yo! Could you be my mood-watcher and just help me out a bit, let me know if you notice me seeming better or worse?)
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT ISSSS. Curiosity!
no subject
I thought as much =X and yea if we didnt live so far away from each other I'd at least notice it by looking over the top of my computer sometimes (papers everywhere all the time @_@)
FFXIII figures Vanile and Snow $24 each...
no subject
Oooh. Though, I already have Vanille (she is, oddly, the tallest of the ones I have), and Snow is near the bottom of my list of characters to get figures of (though, didn't you really want one of him?). But, man! If I did not have Vanille already, I would be all over that. @_@
no subject
I thought about it but... see ever since I saw a close up of the FFXIII characters I've been undecided... something about the faces... and I dont know why they had them at all at TRU. They were hidden in the bottom of an aisle... if I ever see other characters I'll let you know.
no subject
Yeah, some of them have really weird faces. I have Lightning, Fang, and Vanille, and I got lucky and they all look pretty okay, but I've seen a Hope figure who was, I don't know, maybe he fell face-first off a motorcycle or something, poor kid had some seriously bad paint aps.
no subject
yeah exactly... I've seen those a lot and it drive me crazy. Although the Snow I saw wasnt bad... but... money and all. Plus the face still want great so meh too.
no subject
Ah, too bad. I was gonna say, if you wanted to get him, I still haven't got you a birthday present, go buy him and I'll send you the money for it.
