Hi ladies! I feel like I've not been here in forever. D:
JAG, add me to the list of people who'd like to "meet" that guy (with a cricket bat) if he's ever in the right area. That is *definitely* not cool.
A friend and I were talking about a similar subject ages ago and she said in so many words (if I remember correctly): "Men don't understand that no means NO until they've been convicted by a jury. Even then they don't get it until THEY'RE the ones saying "NO" to Bruno in their jail cell."
QFT. Also because it made me laugh, and it is surely the most appropriate punishment I can think of for these fellows. I'm not *usually* so eye-for-an-eye, but in this case, I'd happily make an exception. Okay, I wouldn't *happily* make an exception, it still makes me uncomfortable, but at least he'd be the most primary candidate should it ever be acceptable to say "they deserved it". 'Cos no one does. But rather a rapist than an innocent. I guess. O_O
I have no real first-kiss story. I was incredibly drunk. O_O I did get his name though, and he was very hot, so I suppose it could've been a lot worse.
Took my niece to see Hairspray last night. She TOTALLY fell asleep on the way home, but I think she really enjoyed it. I'll ask when she regains consciousness. XD I know *I* enjoyed it. I forgot how much I loved that show. :3
I also reread Watchmen the other night, and am now looking forward to the film SO MUCH it hurts! This'll be one helluva birthday present!
Today's work-based complaint: the lights in the office aren't working, so I'm typing to you in the semi-dark today. The lights stopped working last night, when the boss was in, but he couldn't be bothered doing anything about it and went home. It's his day off today, and has he come in to show some responsibility and get the lights up and running? Nope! He's phoning an electrician occasionally. But I'm not holding out any hope, 'cos he's been phoning an electrician about some other lights in this shop for the best part of a year. Ever get the feeling your workplace is falling apart about your ears and all you can do is sit and watch? D:
Morning girls!
Weez, you have no lights?
Wow I feel like I've been away forever! Good morning everyone!
Jag, I'm so sorry that happened to your friend. There is no doubt that what he did was wrong. I remember we even had this seminar the first week up at school and that exact situation was presented to us. Then we had to decide if what the guy did was considered rape.
And I'm dying reading all of these first kiss horror stories LOL! Boys shouldn't be allowed to use their tongues until the age of 18. Clearly any time before that is just too much for them to handle.
The office is a long, thin room with two sets of lights in the ceiling, a door at one end, and an angle-poise lamp on the table next to the door. We spent the entire morning using the angle-poise lamp as a spotlight for the rest of the office. XD Then the electrician actually came, which was MOST unexpected, and now we can see what's going on again. So huzzah! We only didn't have lights for... three and three-quarter hours!
Neither myself nor nice-coworker are impressed. Well, we're happy now the lights are working again, but we're not impressed with stupid-boss. Nerdy co-worker didn't come in until after the lights were fixed, so has no opinion. XD
Anyway. I have light. I have cheese sandwiches. And I have my BWW. So a good afternoon to y'all.

I was going to ask about Michael Ball (predictably), but he doesn't do Mondays, does he?
Weez, if I'm ever in England, I will find your bookstore, demand to see the boss, and start asking idiotic questions in a shrill, bizarre voice without giving him any time to talk in between. That'll show stupid-boss.

Hahaha.... I think you hit the nail on the head, blondebaby.
Nope. Which I'm okay with! I quite like listening to Michael Ball, but when I can see him, I'm filled with a bizarre horror. I found it just about bearable seeing him in Hairspray once, but I couldn't do it again. I don't understand why this is at all. O_O Also, because he doesn't do Mondays, you can get many special offers like "buy yourself a good seat for a change, and we'll give you a ticket for a child for free", so this was literally the only way I'd ever pay over £60 to see Hairspray. Or any show, with a VERY few possible exceptions. O_O
Many boys shouldn't be allowed to use their tongues after the age of 18 also. I assume we're talking not just for kissing purposes? 'Cos if my boss could stop using his for talking purposes, that'd be REALLY NICE. Tuesday is my favourite day at work, 'cos it's his day off. :3

I think I kind of understand what you mean. It's so weird, I think his appearance doesn't match his voice or something, because his whole voice sounds different to me depending on whether I'm watching him or listening to him. Now, I'm kind of obsessed but there is something weird about watching him that I can't put my finger on. 'Bizarre horror' kind of made me crack up, though.
Awww Maisie that sucks! Doesn't any other store around you sell it? You could always order it in bulk online or something haha
I have today off from crazy Grease-dom! Yaaay!! I love the show and the kids, but the director are so spazzy/crazy it wears me out!
I am currently laying on my couch contemplating watching a season of Veronica Mars and making some popcorn! I need to go grocery shopping but I have no car and the next bus doesn't come for another 2 hours, so I will just wait for my mom to get out of work

Guh Mornin' people!!!!
Maisie if I turn on the news and see a blonde girl camped out in front of Target holding a picket sign that says: "No Coke, No Peace!!!" I'll know why. LOL.
Weez, have you ever had words with your boss? I mean just snapped on him after a particularly heinous display of idiocy? I just have a really annoying pet peeve when it comes to stupid people. Not people who do stupid things from time to time, but can still function in normal society and contribute somewhat. I'm referring to folks who are really genuinely dense and imbecilic but don't realize it themselves until they've cut a finger off with a buzz saw, or in your case, the lights go out in a bookshop. For whatever reason that irks me to no end.
*Rant Finis*
I'm a total wage-slave. Apparently, I'll put up with quite a lot of rubbish in the name of getting paid. Particularly as I doubt any other job would let me spend so much time reading books and chatting on the internet (see, I bitch about it, but I semi-secretly enjoy it too XD). I feeeeear unemployment. O_O
My boss is in charge of this place, and his parents own it. And every day, I draw a little closer to asking if he's only in charge because he's incapable of getting any other job. I figure if I manage to direct this question to nice-coworker, it shouldn't be too bad, but I'm kinda nervous I'll end up addressing it to a member of the stupid-boss family, which would result in total unemployment. D:
I have spoken to him in a very patronising way before though. See, this one time, I made a mistake with the banking. And I worked out what I'd done wrong, so the very next day, I came in and said "I've made a mistake; I'm going to fix it". See, I'd added 10 where I should've subtracted 10. I then spent the next fifteen minutes (no exaggeration) explaining why I would have to remove 20 to get the figure to where it should be. I got VERY patronising.
See, I think he's actually mentally incapable of processing disdain, which means I would have to snap something ROTTEN for him to notice, which means I'd be totally unemployed. Plus I know he annoys me, so I try to avoid him as much as possible.
I hope nice-coworker lets rip tomorrow; it's my day off, but nice-coworker will be in, and also was unimpressed with the lights scenario. :3
Urgh, I'm one of these terrible people who does nothing but complain about their job. XP Moving on!
Weez, vent away honey. That's what we're here for.
Yes Weez, vent vent vent! I'm so sorry you work with such a moron.
"No Coke, No Peace!!!"
LOL I just died laughing. People were staring at me haha
Ooh Maisie that's gonna suck for you in about a week.
That actually reminds me of a funny story. Over the summer I was in a production of Footloose and we decided to throw a big 4th of July party to do some cast bonding. Well things got a little out of hand due to the amount of alcohol involved and someone decided it would be smart to play Spin the Bottle. (No, none of us are in middle school LOL) I won't get into details of the night, but you can only imagine. So a few days later at rehearsal one of the girls who was at the party told everyone she had strep throat. Then she handed out airborne to everyone haha, it wasn't so funny at the time but looking back it kind of is.
weez, Im sorry you are having a sucky time at work. Stockard is right, though. Vent away!
Maisie,I HATE when a store stops carrying something!! I always want to complain to the manager but I never do.
Hi All...just stoppin in to say 'ello. :)
Maisie- I feel your pain. I don't drink soda (or as I call it, pop) very often, but I LOVE diet coke with lime. But I like regular Diet Coke and then squeeze two limes. Mmmmm perfection. :)

"Diet Coke with Lime and Hotsauce'
That's a new one. How much hot sauce do you put in the diet coke?
