"Canadian moose during mating season."

I realized last night that I was sorely lacking in the great ace inspired subject lines - so it all you see is Ace quotes for the next week, you know why...


I really don't have much to post about tonight b/c all I did as work today, but there are a few things I wanted to talk about...


First, before I lose the oomph to do it, I HAVE to rant about the thing at work today that makes me GLAD I'm heading back to school in a month. There are certain days when I work inside that I really cannot STAND the other cashiers. It's not something they do specifically,  like say something bad or act horrible. It's just almost all of them are selfish, spoiled, south louisiana raised brats. Kylie and Gabbie are probably the only two I never have an issue with. Take tonight, for example. Whitley and Janice were working (we always have three cashiers on Friday nights, since it is the busiest night of the week for us) with me. I know i've mentioned it before, but these girls tend not to talk to me because they think their hot high school shit and i'm not important. It's no big deal, really. I've taken to bringing my notebook to my register and writing to taraleesg1 or working on fic when I don't have customers. And of course, i ALWAYS stop writing when someone comes to my register. Well, these girls (and it's not just these two - most of the other cashiers do it) will get caught up in talking to each other, or with one or more of the floorboys, and not be paying attention to customers. So I'll end up with three people lined up at MY register, when registers 2 and 3 have no one at them. And of course i always say, in a kind manner, to the customer that 'she can get you on register 2'. I shouldn't HAVE to say that - whoever's ON register 2 should be paying ATTENTION and let the customer know HERSELF that she's open. If i see someone standing in line at another register, and i have no one, I always let them know I'm open... And it's not just happening once. It's happening OVER AND OVER. At one point tonight, I was in the office helping Madre and Kylie walks in saying 'Mandy, there's someone at you're register...' I was like 'I'm not AT MY REGISTER, WHY is someone there?!' Because Janice and Whitley had let her put her stuff up on my register without saying anything. And Whitley had NO customers at the time! I was pissed, to say the least...


I actually prefer working with one of the floor boys on register than with any of the actual cashiers! I mean, at least the boys will let a customer know he's open. Jessie is the best to work with because he pays attention to customers and he makes me laugh and talks to me... But Jessie is off until after tomorrow. *sigh* So i've had to deal with annoying cashiers and mostly annoying floor boys. 


Yeah, I won't be missing my job when I go back to school. Knowing that it's waiting for me when I get back here isn't looking as good as it did last year...


Okie donkie - enough about Hebert's for now....


So my tongue is still a little irritated. It's not as bad as it was last night, but it's still annoying me. I listerined again tonight, and it has helped. I'm hoping it'll be gone by tomorrow morning...


OH, and I've figured out why I was feeling a little off last night. I got my FRIEND today (didn't i say I hoped that's what it was??). And surprisingly, even with getting it today, I was in a good mood all day. I've been bouncy and perky and...bouncy. I think the pics from the Continuum premiere at Comic Con helped. Oh, and I'm gonna get to see it in TWO DAYS, and Chicago is less than a month away!!!! And having all these people give such lovely reviews on ff.net! (even though i still feel horrible for spamming like i did. I really wasn't posting back to back to back like it came up...i mean, there were time gaps in between a lot of the fics being posted...but ff.net just put them all up like that!)... so i've had lots of things to keep me in a good mood!


Burn Notice is made of win - just thought I'd say that.


Also, taraleesg1 and dvshipper both saw it today, I've been thinking about Wall-E. It reminded me that I wanted to try and find a possible list of all the Disney/Pixar cameos that they always throw into each of their movies! They're always fun to look for when you go back and watch it! I can't seem to find just a round-up of the cameos and I was wondering if anyone happens to know where I can find one?  (There is ONE cameo I saw on my own, and that was seeing Chomp from Toy Story in a section of Wall-E's earth junk collection. I tried to see if the Pizza Planet truck was in there because it's the ONE thing in ALL of the movies, but I never saw it! I'm SURE it's there though!)


Okie donkie, i think that's it for now... my PLAN (you know how those go *snirk*) is to work on Ch.13 of CoL.... hoping to get it done tonight!
