  • Had a dream that went something like this:

    *It is a Paper Mario environment in something that looks like Gusty Gulch, but not quite. Mario was there and he's vaguely supposed to have a partner, but I don't recall seeing Bow.*

    Gusty Gulch Boo (Stanley most likely): Aaaah! Mario! Tubba Blubba is coming, and he's specifically coming to eat YOU! You need to hide somewhere before he comes and eats!

    *Ray Trace is an NPC who follows Mario in his adventures similar to Kolorado. He was there, and he was bold.*

    Ray Trace: Never fear! For when that monster comes around and asks, I shall call myself "Mario", and you will call yourself "Ray Trace", and I shall proceed to fight him!

    *This is a reference to when various NPCs ask for Mario's name in the Paper Mario games, such as when Buzzar asks if you're Mario, Luigi, or Peach, but this time, it's Ray Trace the one doing the selection.*

    Stanley: Tubba Blubba's invincible, though! You'll get eaten!

    Ray Trace: I'm doing this mostly to cover Mario, while he goes around and finds out that monster's weakness.

    *Mario eventually hides, and Ray Trace was bold. Tubba Blubba eventually comes around.*

    Tubba Blubba: I AM HERE LOOKING FOR MARIO! Which one of you here is Mario!?

    Ray Trace: I'm Mario!

    *Tubba Blubba then proceeds to eat Ray Trace.*
    Dear Ray Trace,

    WOAH, YOU GOT A PROMOTION! You really are the bestest most handsomest MarioWiki member ever!

    At work I had customers who:

    *Got mad at me because we surprisingly don't keep a secret warehouse of their free shit on the coupons and that I can't scrabble around the store looking for it. If we don't have it here, we don't have it here. Go get the bloody item yourself.
    *Got mad at me because I gave them 8 dollars worth of change entirely in quarters because they paid a >10 dollar item with a 20 dollar bill even though I told them I was out of one dollar bills, and they DID have money they could have used instead to pay for it. They try to get me to go to another desk, but it's something I simply cannot do: I can't open another cashier's till and handle their money, and because it's a weekend, they're already very busy. By the way, here's something you should all know: accept the change cashiers give you, because they WILL get docked for variance if you decline the change and try to give it back to them.
    *Got mad at me because of a 5 dollar electronic waste disposal fee for an item they were happy to buy for 3,000 dollars. They said the sales people lied to them, I told them they're not aware of this, and then they accused me and salespeople of lying and being deceptive and thinking that we at the customer service department and the sales department know each other well and communicate frequently, when....that does not happen, and I was too polite to tell this moron off who clearly has never worked in a retail store in their life. Also, it's fucking five dollars, if they can pay thousands of dollars for a fucking laptop, then an extra 5 dollar disposal fee is nothing....also welcome to living in California.

    I'm so glad that out of the hundreds of customers I deal with, these guys are the stark exception but good god they can help make you feel worse. I'm very glad it's very easily counter-balanced by the friendlier, chattier types of customers who ask you about their day or try to strum up small talk, I enjoy those people.

    I also wear my Baby Luigi necklace to work and quite a few people complimented it, get those daily, one dude even said, hey Baby Luigi, and I was happy.
    Schedule for week

    Monday to Saturday, 9-11, commute, work, commute, some breaks interspersed.

    Then I sleep.

    ;P
    Okay so, I won't be available literally all week. I'll be working 11 am - 9pm until next Saturday.

    That's the holiday rush for you in retail.

    You do work part time because you're only 16, so not as brutal as me. Still, cheers, retail work is unsung labor. We all can pull through this. :)

    Shoot, you should'a seen what I had to put up with the other night. People were coming in drunk from watching the Braves Parade...

    I hate working holidays.

    Now you'll like Squidward even more. He's always been our favorite!
    So uh, I was recently hired at a Micro Center. I work full time as a cashier there now.
