  1. Managers with unreasonable expectations of competence/understaffing. There were maybe three openers (8-3:30). None of the mid-shift (10-5:30) guys showed up. And there were only the two of us closing (2-9:30ish). That's an only an hour and a half where we had more than two or three people working in our area. How the hell do you expect the two new guys and only the two new guys to be able to keep the entire area clean and organized, especially when they're constantly bombarded by customers, pickups, and other managerial assignments? Seriously. (And of course the moment she walks in is the one moment when we're not actively doing the job thing, so we got yelled at for slacking too.) Some guys from the dock did lend some help with cleanup after we were closed, though. That was much appreciated.
  2. I dearly wish I had been able to come. But, as storming always, I closed tonight. rrrrgh i need a new job
  3. Started my Stormlight reread! Normally I'd try to do this closer to November, but 1) I have work, which chops my potential reading time in half, and 2) I don't want to get burned out before Oathbringer, and stretching out the reread may help with that. But I'm loving The Way of Kings. It's been so long since I actually sat down and read the whole thing.
  4. No, but both Kindles I've owned have been signed by the Great Sanderson himself.
  5. A good many wearables that one purchases online (not counting sites like Amazon) only go up to a size 2XL. I am a 3XL. This is frustrating. I want my Hufflepuff hoodie storms take you
  6. Man, electrum Feruchemy would be amazing.
  7. I worked 11 hours today. I am surprisingly not dead.
  8. I have seen empires rise and fall.

    No, seriously. I've been here a little over four years, and it actually feels that way.

  9. Fair point. I just don't think I can put into words how happy the pony show makes me.
  10. Er, okay, so. For some reason Amazon decided to only have the first 11 episodes of MLP:FiM season 7 available for streaming, when in reality there are 13. So that's two episodes that I had no idea existed. I discovered their existence and watched them both on YouTube last night. Suffice it to say that The Perfect Pear is officially the cutest thing I've ever seen, and Discordant Harmony was completely, insanely hilarious.
  11. ^^ Despite being unpublished and unpolished, I loved this book.
  12. So. I've been transferred! Instead of working on the donation dock, I know work in Large As-Is/Sales Yard. Basically, if you wanna buy some furniture or something too dirty or otherwise unkempt to be kept in the store proper, you just might interact with me.
  13. Firefly is no longer available for streaming on Netflix. If we didn't own the DVD set, I'd be crying right now.
  14. They added Rogue One to Neflix.

    I watched it again.

    Now I want moar spaceships. :ph34r: 

  15. I'm actually quite excited. I just hope they don't botch it up by repeatedly hammering in "OH YES LOOK SHE'S A WOMAN NOW LOOK HOW PROGRESSIVE WE ARE!" I admit that I rather liked some Moffat stuff, but... yeah.
  16. Amusing, and then terrifying how could you have joined them 10/10!
  17. Honestly it's everything right now I hate feeling like this
  18. Desperately trying not to go utterly mad as I try and customize this stupid blog template.

    rrrrrrrgghhh

  19. I. Work. Tuesday. Night. What the heck, work?
  20. I don't think I can recommend Spiderman: Homecoming enough. Honestly. Got to go see it after work yesterday, and it was one of the most enjoyable theater things I'd seen in quite a while.
  21. I want to do horrible, horrible things to YouTube's Restricted Mode and its associated algorithms.

  22. Ah, okay. Yeah, the writing is fairly amateurish, but I adore those books.
