Why the hell did it take for-fucking ever to get home tonight? My stupid windshield wiper (driver side one, of course). I was on I-275 and all of a sudden my windshield wiper goes all apeshit on me. I knew I couldn't drive my car home in whatever condition it was in, and I didn't have time to exit right away but I knew I could get off at the ( Read more... )

I'm watching Top Chef and the new judge Toby Young just compared a avocado sorbet to Tom Cruise's cameo in Tropic Thunder. An unexpected treat. I had to LOL at that ( Read more... )

And it's about a movie that I plan on NEVER seeing. I keep seeing commercials for "Bride Wars". WTF is this bullshiat? The 2 BFF's want to have their weddings at the NY Plaza Hotel. Ok, I get that.

Someone from another department came down to customer service where I work, and dropped off a t-shirt and flier from a new gym that's opening up. Not that big a deal, but the "hook" of this particular gym is "The Judgement Free Zone". Now, I realize that I am a somewhat cynical person ( Read more... )

I understand that circumstances come up where people have to call in, but this is getting fucking ridiculous. This is the second time in as many weeks where the closer called in and I've had to scramble trying to get someone to come in to close so I'm not working a 10 hour day. I hate this shit. I hate not knowing if I'm going to leave when my ( Read more... )
