Chrissie, that totally sucks! I'm sorry that is happening to you. I sure hope they get it ironed out so that you and your classmates do not end up getting screwed royally.
Odd day today. I don't usually post my own stuff in this thread but… It was just odd. So, here it is. I confirmed that a call I got yesterday was legitimate. That means that I won two tix to a Giants game, in a suite, with complimentary beverages and food as well as VIP parking. Out of the blue. Just for using my store shopping card while buying groceries and buying something I normally buy anyway. I'm not a huge fan of football, but a day out for nothing but the cost of tolls and gas seems nice about now.
Since we've had a spot of bad luck for a while, I'm hoping this means our luck is turning.
'Kay.
[hide]So at work a few days ago, I'm by myself serving the customers and taking orders. And since I'm expected the get the drinks (and sometimes the food) myself, the line takes a bit.
Finally, I get this kind of short customer, a little pudgy, short cut hair, nerdy glasses and a really nice looking work suit.
I didn't notice this at first, but by the end of this encounter his appearance got me thinking.
Anyways, he orders his meal.
But before he pays, he's complaining about how the line is too long.
He also mentions how the Debit Machine is down and he didn't know about it (I pointed that out to him when he was about to use his card), DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE HAD 3 FUCKING SIGNS POINTING THAT OUT AT BOTH THE COUNTER AND ENTRANCE!!
I just stare.
What the fuck did you want me to do about it?
So instead of paying (yet), he's asking for a corporate number. I point to a number on the wall that can be used for complaints or suggestions.
"I think that's it."
The customer gives me this look.
"You think?"
What was that you little bitch? I just point out that it's for complaints.
"You think?"
Same tone of voice, and after being tired all day and expecting to work late into the night, I'm really starting to lose my patience.
"You think?"
"Yes I think!"
I don't even yell, just raise my voice (when I yell, everyone will hear).
He asks to speak to the manager.
"BAAAAWWW!! He yelled at me!!"
Manager: :wassat:
(I should point out that I'm usually very well behaved during my 4 years of service, with only 1 or 2 slip ups.)
After working it out, everyone's cooling down, and the guy gets the number.
Then he looks over at me.
"Cuddles (obviously not my real name, and he's looking at my name tag) I'll make sure to include your name in the report."
Translation: NA NA NA NA NA NAAAAAAAH! I'M THE BIG SCARY CUSTOMER!
He repeats this a couple of times.
So I say, "Go for it."
My manager (poor guy) and the customer::blink::blink::blink:
Translation: And you're a cock sucking faggot.
Now he's really mad.
CSF: Oh ho ho ho! Now you're going to get terminated.
(I think he might've actually been wagging his finger).
CSF: I mean, I was going to pay with money and everything.
He then shows cash.
Get raped and die you giant cunt. Finally, the manager has to deal with him again, promising a free meal if he's in the area again.
LOOK AT HIM!! DOES HE EVEN LOOK LIKE HE'D BE IN THIS MCDONALD'S IF HE HAD A CHOICE!! Finally, he starts saying "Have a nice day Cuddles."
I ignore him.
He does this over and over, while on the phone, trying to get a rise out of me.
The only thing that prevented me from more sarcasm and/or a giant beatdown is my boss bringing me to the back.
I'm finally sent home, and told that our boss boss (he's a crew manager) will have a talk with me later.
One week later, we don't hear from him again, I receive no talking too, and I'm still working there.
Moral of the story: Good karma can pay off sometimes, and it trumps little douches who you don't want in your restaurant any day of the week.
The sad side is because our advertising will always bring in more than enough customers to make up for the 'loss' of that one.
I even got more hours that next week.[/hide]
@Chrissie: I hope everything works out for you, cause I know what it's like to graduate into a very bad situation. (I'm the class of 2009. YAAAAAAAAYY!! And with a Creative Writing degree. DOUBLE YAAAAAAYYY!!!)
I had a rough Physics (Energy and its Social Uses my ass) this morning. I watched Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva afterwards to cheer myself up, and I think it was an hour and a half well-spent. Now I think I'll work on a small Art History paper, get that out of the way.
Nothing quite like doing Statistics homework while listening to someone read Fallout 3's Dad hate mail while talking like Bill Cosby.
long day was long.
I have 15 minutes to run to the library, open up the documents I sent to my account on the network, print them, and then run back to the class they are due for.
College.
Not a bad day overall. Pretty average; was late to math class,but the teacher never pays attention, got a 100% on an easy biology quiz,oh and got to read chapter 599 in Computer apps.
Got some really surprising news the other day (Tuesday,I think.):Found out that two of my former teachers are engaged to each other!:shocked: I was completely shocked, but I think it's great! They weren't just average teachers for me either;they were two of the greatest teachers I've ever had! Really down to earth, relateable, makes the classes easy and fun while still teaching us everything, just all-around great people. (Oh,they're both still pretty young;she's 25,he's 30) Anyway, I think it's pretty great,especially considering that they found each other in this tiny town.
Now I kind of miss going to that school;been feeling kind of nostalgic on all that happened there.It's alright though,I'm still glad I went there in the first place.
-my friends didn't believe me when I told them about it!
Pretty uneventful other than that. Well, I have a couple of quarter finals tomorrow,but I'm not worried. We get out early tomorrow,too~
Wait,I almost forgot-Loved the Linkin Park takeover on Fuse!
هذا سيارتي . أنا سكنسل و من أرلنج برك
Arabic has too many letters that sound so similar. And it typed is still too hard to read.
Edit: And full stops don't work that well with my Arabic typing program.
Rather fun today.
Went out of boarding school to a nearby pub (where 5 of my friends got drunk - I stayed dry cos of a party tomorrow).
It was a dangerous game, getting them to act sober when the care staff were around and generally getting them out of their way.
well
Today was a good day..
I got A + on my "writing techniques" text
and still,
today I went to the cinema to see "Tropa de Elite 2"
was indeed a good movie
The weirdest,i went to the movies to my house on foot
and this at midnight.
Deserted street, all closed,
i like to walk in these hours.
And today I lunched
Rice with chicken and nachos
one last thing
I became addicted to Youtube Poop BR
I am back from prague and it was awesome. I slept all day because the trip was really exhausting. Now I have to get used to a healthier lifestyle again.

seriously? how was Prague? do you have any nice pictures? go post in the post your pics thread! :D and yeah, holidays are really bad for health…
It's a really beautiful city with a great nightlife. I gained 6 pounds though because most of the time we were sleeping, eating, drinking and/or partying. I made a lot of pictures too but I think there aren't any with myself in them (I need to get the pictures my friends made first).
I wen´t shopping and bought new boots and a jacket. I wanted to buy the new ipod touch but I couldn´t find it anywhere D=
I ordered it when I came home though, so hopefully I´ll get it this week =D
Today, I figured out EVERYTHING
October 10, 2010
10/10/2010
1+0+1+0+2+0+1+0 = 5
283 days of the year have passed.
283 + 5 = 288
2+8+8 = 18
In binary thats 10010
add the checksum 01101 and you get 11111
11111 = 31 decimal
Its the 10th month of the year
31 - 10 = 21
21 in binary can be interpreted as 010101
The checksum is 101010 which represents todays date of 10/10/10
101010 in decimal notation is 42
42 the answer to life, the universe and everything!
Coincidence? I think not!
10+10=20
2+1 (in 2010)=3
20+3=23
That damned number.
Reverse the digits and you get 32.
October is 10
32 + 10 = 42
It all goes back to 42.
Bad shit that happened today
[hide]Absolutely fucking bullshit. There was a house competition for hockey today, the first day of 3 days (first for Juniors, second for Seniors and third for Sixth Form) of competition. (there are four houses in my school, for simplicity's sake, let's call them A, B, C and D) No-one plays hockey in ol'Blighty, but fair enough. I'm the house captain of B, and houses A and B were very organised, filling the roster easily with people who wanted to play, and those that didn't want to. C and D did everything at the last minute and both had three or four people on their teams.
From the people playing, I would say, in order of skill, it would be;
A, B, C and then D. I was glad with second place. In the past years, this game has been played in an "everybody vs everybody and then add up the points" system, which was fair.
Unbeknownst to us (let me say at this point that the PE department at our school is unorganised and does everything at the last minute), the tournament was a Cup tournament. And, even though B would've definitely defeated C and D, we were nlucky enough to face A in the first round. So. Second was not an option any more. At this point, I still didn't know it was a Cup tournament, and was feeling quite satisfied with second place, losing at 1 - 5 to A. We thrashed C, at 4-0 and was looking forwards to whupping D's ass, but then, magically, the tournament was over.
The fuck is going on?
Fucking D, who were lucky enough to have brushed past C and then received a brutal 14 - 0 defeat to A, were lucky enough to get 2nd place. I can understand a Cup system if there was like 8 or 16 teams participating, but four?
Freaking A.
I just hope we'll be lucky enough to face a shit team tomorrow and the day after.[/hide]
On a lighter note…
[hide]There's this dickhead who always spams the year on his stupid graphic designs stuff no-one but his girlfriend gives a fuck about. He does this all the time, and someone thought it would be funny to question him on hos professionalism because of his chavvy grammar. The result?

got hold of an sms gateway which allows me to send anyone sms from any number :D
had loads of fun :D
Today some employee called me Obelix because of my plaited braids…
!
I feel a little bit annoyed by this comparison…
And the bad thing about beeing just a temporary personnel is... I always have to sweep the shop in the end =0=... Well, in general I have to do the dirty work. Seems like I just have to go trough this...
Tomorrow I will finally move in to my really first own flat, yay!
Got a 36/40 on my Mythology test. That's a 90% while the class average was 75%.
Attend to therapy class for 3 hours,now i feel idiot but i got Dark Voltanis. :D
Didn't have school today, got my salary, and Sweden is being destroyed by the Netherlands.
Good times.
I had school today…It was soooo boring,but at least I got no homework ;)
I slept until 5pm and I had pretty weird dreams. Now I have to work out and finally eat something. Boring day, all the way.
S**t. Nuff Said.
I spent most of the day playing Etrian Odyssey III.
This semester has basically boiled down to a waiting game for my Associate's and I am doing absolutely nothing with my time because I just want to move overseas already.
Every day is just playing a game right now.
… Not a bad day actually. I take it back. I'd call it pretty A+ of a day.
I'm so super cool at 18 and failed my first driving test today. But, I bought a Sprite and Slim Jim too feel better. Then made ramen, wrote a fanfic and painted a mask.
Productive day.

did you just turn 18?? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Fuck.
I booked a flight at the wrong date, and the cost to rectify my mistake is an amazing £100+
In other news, despite the problem with the first day of hockey, my house (B) has won the overall tournament!
I had my first day of filming today and even though I was freezing my butt off walking around barefooted on the forest floor, it was so much fun. Watching our footage from a monitor generated the most laughs in school I've had since the start of this semester.
Tomorrow we'll continue filming and hopefully the weather won't be such a bitch.

Ouch. I know the pain of the cost of changing flight dates. -___-; I know it so well.
Congrats!

Ooooh~? You have details to tell me missie :U
I tested out a new energy drink today at college. I made 12 bucks off of it.
More money than I've made for a long time.
Well fuck a duck. I'm in Statistics class at this minute (I get to have my laptop today, yay!), and I'm seriously watching the clock. So damn sleepy…
At the start of the class, I seriously took a short glance at the clock, and noticed that 30 minutes flew by. I got so freaking excited, the next time I checked the clock, I was expecting another 20 to pass.
8 minutes. God damn it.
Just one more class.....one more class and I can go home and CRAAAAASH!
Signing up soon for Spring 2011 classes..
taking drawing and ceramics hopefully before they fill up again:happy:
So I'm a paid grader for a differential equations course this term, and this week's problem set was especially juicy. I was knocking off points fucking everywhere because all these dumbasses read the directions wrong or leave off entire parts of questions or do the wrong damn question altogether. I'm not a violent person but this seemed to fulfill some primal sadistic urge. Plus I'm getting 8.50 an hour for something I can do while watching netflix instant streams. Plus I put some cute unicorn stickers on papers with perfect scores. And then I found someone's paper with "I <3 you" scribbled in the corner, under which I wrote in my red pen, "Aw you're sweet. Thanks."
So basically I'm having tons of fun while doing something that looks great on a resume.
my day was going well until I opened my laptop a few minutes ago and found that the "h" key on my keyboard had decided to randomly dislocate itself for no apparent reason at all. it's the first real 'injury' this laptop has gotten so i'm rather annoyed. and i had to copy/paste the letter 'h' from this thread's title, making me feel like a fool.

A few months ago my laptop's "i" popped off (one of the little plastic claws attaching it to the peg actually broke) so I just switched the unstable "i" with the properly functioning windows key (same size and shape). Might something like that work for you? Or is the damage more extensive?
Ooooh~? You have details to tell me missie :U
It was nothing particularly special really, just filming for our very first school project. There are no sounds included so it's a silent film. We had a very simple idea of someone waking up in a forest, strange things happening, a scare occurring, waking up for real in a bed and in the end the viewer sees leaves from the forest under the blanket. Was it all a dream or…? :ninja:
Yesterday we had rain and hail and today we had some heavy snowfall. Everyone in my group were almost frozen to death, heh. But now we're effin finished and I have one week off from school, yay~! After the vacation we'll get to learn different editing techniques and finish our material into an actual short film.
@CCC:

hmmm, that might work. the "h" is still attached, but it's really wobbly and no matter how i press it it doesn't work. where did you get the windows key from? can you actually get it on its own?
As of right now, the diet competition is over. I AM VICTORIOUS!
I've lost 18 pounds in one month. I lost the most out of everyone, and I was in a team match. My sister and I lost a combined total of 31. My other sister and her husband lost 26.
Victory is so sweet.
hmmm, that might work. the "h" is still attached, but it's really wobbly and no matter how i press it it doesn't work. where did you get the windows key from? can you actually get it on its own?
Yeah that was the same situation I had.
On my laptop the windows key is right between Fn and Alt in the lower left, and it fit the description of "key I basically never use." But you could just as well use any key that's the same size that you won't miss.
…... nevermind. i told my dad the key was broken. he casually came over and pressed the key really hard and suddenly it was okay. i can't tell whether he's a genius or i'm the biggest dolt to ever exist.
thanks a lot though, CCC. :happy:
you people are lucky. My c and v were broken and couldn't even ctrl+c or ctrl+v.
had to use mouse :(
anyway today was FUN!
Another stupid day .
Building other people's roofs sucks .
I started badly today (I dislocated my arm), I could not put him back
so I had to lie on my bed
so that my arm could finally get back in place "fit".
All this before my class, my arm still hurts BTW
LOL, in my writing class, we learned "how to quote someone in your text"
the rest of the day I watched Yu Gi Oh GX
(I could not play my accordion, because of my arm)
I got outta bed, ate something and sat in front of the computer all day. I'd feel sorry for myself if it wasn't so nice to just do nothing for once.
I had a nice night. Hung out with some friends, went into town, got drenched by the blood raining out of Lady Gaga's putrid tits…. The usual.
i took a nap and just woke up with the most nightmarish pain on the side of my neck. ughhh.
