This isn't what I should be writing

[texasminx]

In fact, I just noticed the state of my room, and it's terrible. Eh, I'm not in the mood to clean it. But, unfortunately, I've hardly worked on my challenge fic and I wonder if I'll ever get that out. That's what I should be working on and it makes me sad that I doubt I will finish it. *sigh

Of course I read it all. I'm surprised by the reaction I got from this post. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

And it's not that the challenge fic causes me stress. It's mostly that I've hardly been home to work on it. And if I do get a chance to look at it, it just doesn't really flow for me. If I ever finished it, I don't know if it would be very good. I should've come up with a different idea.

And thank you for sticking up for the gas station attendant. Yeah, those customers suck. I wish I could say something to the customers. But I'm the kind of person who gets upset if someone doesn't like me. Which is why I'm good at retail, I'm always nice. *sigh*

Thanks for reading! Love you, Ella!

But I like your idea for the challenge fic. I think it's got a lot of potential. Don't sell yourself too short.

[texasminx]

Thanks. And I might keep working on it. I just keep finding myself so busy. I'm not sure how that happened...hehe. ;)

Having spent two years working at Sears where the associates handle the return as well as all exchanges, I totally feel your pain here. We had a lot of similar policies and it drove me crazy as well.

So you're saying that I shouldn't look into the Kohl's that's being built in my town as a possible second job? :) I wish you much luck that you find something soon.

Well, if you don't mind cleaning up people's mess and customers constantly complaining about the prices and wrong signs...go for it...hehe. Thanks for reading!

LOL Jen - I know you didn't intend it to be this way, but it was actually a very funny and interesting (as well as accurate) diatribe. People can be such assholes, especially when they want money back they don't deserve

[texasminx]

I was actually hoping that it came out funny. I'm glad it did. ;)

I'm sorry, I've never heard of Benetton, but I sometimes wish we had a return policy like that. There's always a manager around, so if the customers complained, I just call them up.

And the customers who come in five minutes before the store closes don't ever get the hint. A few weeks ago, we had customers still shopping in the junior's dept. when the store was already closed and my manager turned the lights off so they could 'get the hint.' Their reply was, "That was rude." Idiots.

Thanks for reading, and for your comments. I really enjoyed reading it!

You've never heard of Benetton. You're so young. Ah! I'll never forget the Benetton sweaters.

[mhersheybar]

So, so young. Although, I thought Benetton still existed, just without the sweaters.

To this day I'll still refold anything I look at in a store. If I walk by something on the floor or a disorganized rack, I'll fix it. I loathed staying late to straighten up & feel increditably guilty if I mess up something. I think that's part of why I hate shopping so much.

i wish you much luck on the job hunt. hang in there & vent when you need to.

[texasminx]

Yeah, I do the same thing. I try not to unfold anything at all, but if I have to, I'll make sure to get it back to the way it was. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that.

Thanks for reading!!

Re: Know how you feel!

[texasminx]

Ah, I never get that question. But now, if I do, I'm so using that line. :)

Thanks for reading, C!
