   nervous breakdown in 3.. 2.. 1..

hey guys ^^ hope you all had a great week so far and that you'll have amazing fridays ^^ the end. naw, not really ^^ my week has been hectic to say the least. not so much college, which is going by without a problem at the moment (still sitting alone during lectures: not minding it, just having to spend a few minutes with my group members before we go our seperate ways: loving that..) it's the work that's getting to me. worked almost 32 hours last week, it'll be 30 hours this week, next week, I get to take a breathe with only25 hours of work. unfortunately, I do have an extra lecture on friday, so it still doesn't make much of a difference. the week after next week should be hectic too, since one of the part-timers is gone for holiday that week.. then everything should calm down a bit and return to normal.. the work itself isn't too bad, really. it's the customers that make me want to attack random people in the street to let off steam ^^" it's like all they come in for is to complain, exchange or bring back the goods they bought, or try to haggle their way into a bit of a discount. they examinate the shoes for as long as it takes until they find the tiniest thing wrong with it and then demand a discount.. they come back with slippers because some of the seams have let go.. maybe I'm too simple with things like that, but I say: pick up a needle, a bit of thread and FIX THE DAMN THING! *shrugs* my bosslady feels the same, she asked me if everyone in my town is a nag ^^" I replied with the fact that I'm born in the next town over, so that's why I'm not like them at all, thank goodness^^ what really sent me over the edge yesterday was a lady that came back with a pair of shoes. the pricetag on the shoes said 44.90, but the register says 49.90. alright, no problem, lady was in a hurry when she bought the shoes, we discovered on wednesday that there was a problem with the shoes (lady bought them on tuesday.. actual price IS in fact 49.90, bosslady changed the prices on the shoes as soon as I told her this story) alright, so I say, no problem, we'll make it an exchange and lady gets 5 bucks from me. "easy as can be" now, I shouldn't have said that.. cause she went off at me >_< "it's not easy at all! if I hadn't been paying attention I would've paid more than I had to and you have to change it in the register for other customers and BLAHBLAHBLAH" this went on for a while, with me trying to keep my most polite smile on. finally, lady was done ranting. so I gave her the five bucks and said that I had to keep the original receipt for administration. wrong again. "And I need that receipt! what if I want to bring the shoes back or exchange them?!" *snap* "oh really, you want to exchange them eh? you might as well do that RIGHT NOW, while we're at it!" *silence* I handed her back the receipt and the shoes and stormed off before anyone else could annoy the crap out of me. went to my bosslady to vent and she changed the prices on the boxes and the shoes. luckily, before I could attack any paying customers, my lazy co-worker came in. now, we were with four girls (including my bosslady, who really IS one of the girls ^^) and one lazy ass guy. so we all decided to sick him for the rest of the day, letting off steam and not mutilating anyone who could actually sue us for doing so *chuckles* now, before I scare of Lord Sessh', with my annoyance of the lazy guy, let it be known that this guy is not only lazy, but arrogant and annoying to boot. he's like a tiny package of all things I hate in people. tiny, because he's like.. a dwarf *chuckles* well, I got more work today. I hope things will be a bit more quiet again and that there aren't too many complaining customers. my bosslady keeps having me work the register and she's actually teaching me how to start up and lock up. I feel very responsible ^^ even though she said she's gonna teach everyone how to do it, I'm still the first she's teaching it and not one of the part-timers hehe ^^ she's also giving me a ride to Silver's on saturday ^^ she lives in the same city as him and she told me that I could just ask her for a ride a while ago. so yesterday, I asked and told her that she could just bring me to the trainstation. then she replied that it was close to where she lived and that caught my attention. a short chat with a lot of laughs later, it turned out that she lives about five to ten minutes from where Silver lives! it really IS a small world after all eh? so she's going to drop me off at his house this saturday ^^ in order to make this post also about something other then work, here's something else I did yesterday ^^ I had a chat with my fantastic ojou-sama Magnus! it's been ages since we've talked, mostly due to my lack in communicative skills and inability to keep up with emails and PM's ^^" but it was so great to talk with her again ^^ *massive hugs go out to you, Steph, if you read this ^^* it really cheered me up and I went to sleep tired, but not as frustrated anymore ^^ Quinty likes to sleep with me. she especially likes to crawl onto my pillow and cover half my head while I sleep >_< so for the second day in a row, I woke up with a cat on my head.. she's sweet though, sat on my lap again for a while this morning and decided to take a few walks on top of my laptop.. once again made it difficult for me to type though ^^" this weekend should be good. going to Silver-sama, as said. we're going to the birthday party for one of his friends. I'm looking forward to it, but am still a bit afraid of the precense of alcohol.. I'll just try to keep Silver close to me this time so he can bat the drinks out of my hands *laughs* like he did with the cigarette last time ^^" I also finally remembered to call my doc about the bloodwork (thanks to a reminder in my cellphone hehe ^^") of course, the result wasn't very surprising: bloodwork looks fine. so now, I have to make another appointment at the doc's to see what we will do next. since I still haven't heard from the therapy-people, I think I'll ask him if he knows of any other therapist he can send me to.. I'm not putting much faith in the people over at the therapy-thingy that 'helped' me last time..(and who the doc is sending me back to now..) I'll keep you all posted ^^ and now, for your postly LOLcat: and lastly, I want to give another quick shout-out to Two Lumps which never stops making me laugh ^^ check it out, I promise it's worth your while ^^ much clown love people, have a wonderful weekend and I'll probably be back on monday ^^ I'm outti
