The Tiger at the Well

Jan 05, 2013 16:33

So the first fragment of a week in this new year has just about come to its end and it would seem that I yet live. Quite whether it will yet prove to have been the wisest move to schedule the most terrifying and daunting of starts to the year as I did yet remains to be seen but, if nothing else comes of excessive trauma of job assessment stuffs, ( Read more... )

oh, I am sorry to hear that scary job people reduced you to tears of expectation, at least you got that out of your system before you got there anyway. Keep working on facing the tiger, or other metaphorical beast, perhaps each time you face these kind of things you're building up a bit of resistance? Can only hope.

Are you the one with the glowy sword in Diablo III? I've never seen it, but it looks shinier than I imagined. Sorry to hear someone died in your shop, didn't you have a defibrillator available? I would hope the charity would have such a thing, but I suppose you need a person to administer it too. I suppose people still die even with these things.

There, something to be cheerful about, at least you're alive. Take care and enjoy your time off.

Well, it wasn't tears of expectation so much as frustration at feeling such intsense sensations whilst still being perfectly conscious of their excess. The cognitive dissonance, I suppose you might call it, that is really most aggravating. Still, I'm not sure how tiger proof I yet am, particularly if the mess of a day I just had at the shop is anything to go by. Pretty sure I was purposefully defrauded by a customer returning goods which their old mother had supposedly bought them. They had our price tickets on them but I did think the prices a bit unsually high. Then they claimed to have put a receipt in the bag, but I couldn't find it too quickly and I had people waiting so I put it through without, against my better judgement. Then of course I spent the rest of the day making myself feel worse thinking about it but I also got stuck with another customer with apparently no conception of irony, another bringing in four boxes of some of the most delapidated and useless books imaginable, an unexpected volunteer turning up and expected ( ... )

poor butterfly, I hope it found somewhere sheltered to spend it's time after it got stuck in the shop. At least you stopped it from tiring itself out on the glass.

Mr Bethnoir tells me that Diablo III is the first of the series to be taken over by Blizzard who do WoW, so that accounts for the graphics I suppose. As you say, Guild Wars 2 is still there.

Well, we've had an unusual start to the week, what with the man being here gutting our bathroom. We asked him to, but it is a rather sad looking room at the moment, bare floor, walls and only a lonely toilet left until new things arrive tomorrow. Must focus on the how much better it will be, the impressive mould and dust covered spiders webs behind the old suite were not very pretty. Hope the week goes well for you.
