I've been down this road before...sigh

Yesterday, was crazy and you know why because....IT WAS "BLACK FRIDAY"! (still don't know how to take that term)
I am happy to be here and not pepper sprayed. Yeah, you heard me pepper sprayed...Only at Walmart. 
Any who, I just wanted to post this image of:

 

BE SAFE OUT THERE!

LOVE THIS SONG...CANT WAIT TO SEE THE VID!!

My Future Wife

From the day that I met you,
To the present now,
It is uncertain when my destiny revealed itself,
Or even how,
The pentultimate moment in my sullen life,
The moment that joy revealed itself,
And I met my future wife,
She abandoned all tradition,
With faith she took flight,
And when she fell from the firmament,
She then became my light,
Through God's grace,
I found a queen,
In her I found more fulfillment,
Than my wildest dreams,
My desire and hunger for her can never be filled,
Love, passion, and loyalty,
So vast it dwarfs even my immeasurable will,
There is nothing in this world I want more,
This goes out to my love,
To the woman I adore.

Introducing Dee Halston!!

Dee, is a fellow blogger as well as one of my besties in the land of retail. His wit and and blogging style will have to shaking in your padded cell. With that said and a face only a mother could love I give you Dee Halston

 love ya much!

Hi there, i'm Dee, let me just take a moment to shamelessly promote myself on this here fine blog. Youtube.com/dav08zxc for videos on some of my favorite models, and youtube.com/deehalston which does not currently have designation but for the moment I will call it a 'men's style' channel. 

NAO, with introductions out of the way, I came to Aliy today, and asked her if I could rant a bit to her 2.5 readers(1 being me, 1 being a fake blogspot account made by Aliy to make herself feel better, and 0.5 being a dirty bum in a public library scratching his nether-bits) 0_o*

You see, we both deal with the 'political' bullshit surrounding this retail store of which we are currently employed, and even though we definitely aren't working for a HUGE promotion to department lead to make a whole $2 dollars more, just being content in doing our jobs day to day and leaving happy is hard to do. It gets REAL hard when you are an inherently nice, optimistic, or easygoing person.

Exhibit A: I get to watch one of my best friends at this store, a woman who I love to death, continually keep picking herself up off the floor every time she gets knocked down, because she is working her ass off and her peers (well, one especially) don't make her feel welcome and give snide ass remarks to assert false dominance. Why can one of her peers buy a fucking brand new Mercedes, while this ray of sunshine is stuck with a grinding/clicking early 2000's sedan? They all do the same job, why is she earning half the income as the others?? I'm calling foul. On top of that, feeling pressure to forfeit her spot and having an out of state transfer set up without her knowledge!? What kind of shit is that? Though she is able to trudge along and try to stay positive, It's been like watching a lustrous flower wilt, quite sad.

And when people ask me why i'm different now, why I seem mad/sad and why I don't smile like I used to, I put on my new fake smile and say everything is ok. Why? Because a person can only get beaten down so many times before they start to become numb to it all. And that's when the "Hi! How are you?" "I'm doing good!" crap starts happening. You know who your real friends are because they know your fake smile from your genuine one, and they'll call you out on it every time.

Let me give you my short list of retail dont's:

Don't

-feel the urge to politely smile when we both know you are bullshitting

-walk all the way across the store to stand there with your hand on your hip to ask me if i'm finished closing, when i've been working by myself all night, and I already told you that I would let you know when i'm done

-try to make yourself feel better by attempting to entice witty banter with an obviously not amused me

-keep asking me when are we going to hang out when it's already been a year and we have never 'hung out'

-talk about people and not expect it to get around very quickly

-speak to people and boss them around with an off-putting air of superiority

-expect me to be your little chipper, gets-along-with-everyone nice guy any more

 I know there are MUCH worse things in the world, but this is the way of retail, and sometimes we just need to lay it all out there. Us retail workers are notorious venters ;D 

Ok, enough with this nonsensical boombastical depressing crap, I will hand the reins back to Aliy now. Let's do it again sometime, shall we?

She got her Cub!!!

Right on mommy!!!
Her pride tried  to help at one point but they sucked so she went and got her baby herself!!

Sighhh>>i dont have words

We need this at work!!!...lol

Children Flavor...Yummy!!

Just what we all need...lol

Aaahahaha>>>>Awww :(

This is so sad!

Gotta love that Pet sweat!!!

Nothing beats a cool cup of pet sweat on a hot day.

I want this cup!!!!

This cup can be used for knocking someone out!!!

Retail....Sighhhh

Okay, 
so as you might not know, I work retail...I'll give you a minute.

Retail is like an itch that you cant scratch. Anyway, I recently changed departments, and now I am a cashier  -_- 
I have a question to ask.WTH is wrong with people?? 

'It's Story time y'all'

I'm at work, customer comes to my register...places 4 items down  on the counter and then hands me 7 coupons. Okay (thinking to myself)  so you want to use 7 coupons but you only have 4 items??? Sighhhh.  I can only use 1 of those coupons per transaction...unless, unless you want separate transactions. Thinking to myself  again(but of course you wouldn't want to do that because that would be holding up the line) Oh you do, ok I"ll just void everything and wait for someone to cancel because its over a certain amount,  and I'm not authorized to do anything after that. Then have the nerve the to be inpatient.  Sighhhhhhh...

Everyone should know the coupon code, or if not read the fine print. And another thing if it doesn't have a tag, find one that does or something similar because guess what that does?? 

 Here are some common sayings while working retail. Either you say them or wish you can say them:

*Yes, I can give you the hangers but let me take the sizes off first.

*Please stop flirting with me in front of your wife or mistress.

*Watch your kids....please

*There's a rite aide across the street.

*No, I cant do returns right here but if you just lift your head, you will see that customer service sign is right in front of you

*No, that doesn't make you look fat (its your teased out hair that does)

*No, that's not that much money (yes, it is)

*Get your brat...please!!

*Ugh, I'm calling CPS!!!

I'M NOT COCKY....I JUST LOVE MYSELF!!
