and if it is anything like last night, we're fucked again. There were still places without power last night, and we had the power company crews in for dinner. Some waited over an hour to eat. x(

20. Michaels.
And most of our good Christmas stuff already started going before Thanksgiving. So I'd imagine I'll probably have to deal with some people who are upset that things aren't still there anymore. :P

21. i was
til wal-mart fired me last week.

as much as some of y'all wanna rant on them, my store, save for the wench that fired me, was quite cool.

i had customers complaining that i was nosy and too chatty. by nosy they whined that i would comment about their purchases, like if they bought ingrediants for cookies, i'd ask if they were planning to make cookies... just baseline conversation... thus comes the chatty part.

i don't get it... don't talk and they bitch cause you're rude, talk and they STILL bitch. the public, go figure.
