[3:26 PM]
Okay, so, story time! And I swear, the parts I said I really said out loud. There may be light paraphrasing, but the mood is unchanged.

It's about 2:15 at work -- the mall is fairly dead at 2:15 on a Monday. I'm working with coworker, "Betty", who I shall give you no back story on so as to not color your opinion of her before the story begins. I begin flipping bread (putting it in pans to take up front), since I have about an hour left and Betty is going to eat something. I take up some wheat bread, and she has one customer -- I leave her to it, as this is a risk you take when you're up there making your sandwich.

I flip a couple more pans, and go up front. As I'm putting it away Betty turns to me and says, "Can you make her sandwich?"

I look at the board, and where I swear I just saw a sandwich there is none. Exasperated, I asked, "Weren't you just doing that?"

Betty kind of looks over at the customer -- a brunette girl somewhere between 21 and 26 -- and then looks at me. "She changed her mind."

The customer firmly but politely pipes up and says, "I never said I wanted lettuce."

Betty, still not facing or addressing the customer, goes to wash her hands and says (clearly frustrated), "She said everything but pickles and olives."

The customer, still firm but not rude, says, "No, I didn't say that."

Unphased, Betty starts again, "She said -- "

The customer is obviously not pleased at this point. "I did not."

I turn to Betty and snap, "You. Stop arguing." I turn to the customer and get her sandwich made. She wanted just pickles and olives. Now, Betty is making her sandwich while I finish this transaction (and apologize to the customer). When the customer leaves, I turn to Betty and I say, "I'm sorry for snapping at you -- I don't care if she was wrong, you do not argue with the customer."

I'm pretty sure Betty says something here, but I am currently drowning in my own awesomeness and do not remember what it was. It was some defense, I think, because I reply:

"I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have argued with her. It was only pissing her off."

"She was pissing me off!"

"And that sucks, but you are the one getting paid to be professional here -- you're the one in uniform."

At this point she goes back to the office to eat her sandwich, I continue my bread-flipping awesomeness, pleased that I was actually vocal about my feelings rather than shrugging them off -- seriously, who the fuck argues with the customer like that. I am so filled with self-pride. At one point Betty comes up to get soup, and (dead seriously) starts slamming things down and kicking things in her way like a toddler. I wanted to say, "Dude, you are a twenty-five year old woman -- learn to act like one!" This I did not.



Otherwise, work was not bad. I got really overheated and nauseous and shaky about halfway through lunch, but mercifully we were slow and my boss instructed me to go eat something (I did not eat nearly enough for breakfast) and sit down. Which was nice, because I not only felt way better about my boss, but I also got to snark at Betty then. She was getting a drink and said, "What, are you sick?"

My boss goes on to say something, but I reply, "I'm just pregnant; I'll be fine."

Betty goes on to say incredibly sarcastically, "Gee, I've never been there before.*"

"And I didn't come to your for sympathy now, did I?" I go in back to eat my brothy, saltine-filled soup. She apologizes for being rude, but she's "really disoriented" today. I shrugged and said, "I'm not that worried about it."

She didn't speak to me for most of the day, until the customer incident. It was delightful. I hates Betty.

(* Betty has three children, the youngest of which I know is two, and the oldest I think is six. She doesn't have custody of them, which she bemoans and uses to get sympathy, even though she's said to other coworkers, "I could have gotten my act together and kept them, but I didn't." Now she's completely bewildered and offended that she has to pay the baby daddy child support.)

Oh hey! For kicks I looked up this old POS and enjoyed it deliciously. Except that it's STILL CREEPY, even three years later. I wish her sheezy-art accounts were still active so I could show off how she created an account based on the dA account, and created ANOTHER SA account to catch her plagiarist that she was sockpuppeting. The SA part was actually reported on [info]fandom_wank, but I never commented them in on the dA half of it. I should have; it was a whole new batch of fucking crazy.

(For those not in on this, the girl copied things from my deadjournal and livejournal and mashed them together in her DA journal, alternating between the two journal's entries and changing one or two names here and there. It was fucking crazy, and while all my journals (except this one?) are friend's only.)

I feel just a little bad never updating this. Especially considering that half the sidebar links are out of date. Lame.

[3:58 PM] Fandom Bitching Moment!
So I decided I want to spend my day reading fanfiction.net until my boyfriend comes home, because I never do that anymore.

Why didn't I decide to stick only to the good fic?

( Exhibit A: Sickly Love, by Elemental Moon Ninja )

And FFnet crapped out on me, so I guess that ends my adventure. ^^; I've got laundry to work on, anyway.

[1:09 AM] Layout and Whatnot
Ahh, what a nice feeling -- spending a work night making a shitty layout while I should be sleeping. All is right with the universe, and I am totally not ready for school. ._."

In other news, there is a new shitty layout here, and is it just me, or did FF.net and deviantart both decide to don new shitty layouts while I was on vacation? Because... yikes.

And for my thoughts on yaoi: the HP fandom is nuts, the end.

[8:05 PM] Hurrah!
So I have a journalfen account, kthnx to [info]littlebitca & [info]anon_no_more, and comes part two... besides community participate, what do I do with it?

I ought to make it an update journal, or something fun and exciting. I've already got a blog for writing ramble, but this could be fandom awesomeness? Anyway, on vacation right now, so I'm gonna do what I can for customizing and whatnot, and call it a party.
