I'm hungry. I have work in an hour. And I'm terrified of the new manager. I think the DM wants to fill the workplace with giant, scary men like him so tiny nerdy girls like me will feel intimidated.

The problem with that is when I feel intimidated physically, I pretty much get angry and snappy XD so as long as I don't get yelled at, I'll be fine.

Okay, I updated my flashplayer, shockwave player, Adobe air and reader - still not seeing it animate. I wonder if my stupid Norton firewall/antivirus is interfering with it? Urk!

It's a gif, so if you're not seeing a blank space, something is weird. There's no Adobe software involved. All browsers support animated gif's natively without plugins. However, Internet Explorer has a setting to allow/suppress animations in webpages which might have it turned off.

*Wanders about the place going EeeEEEvaah!! EeeEEEEEvaaaahhhh?!!*...

My little sister used to do the same thing... although that's just because she loves WALL-E

Luckily people don't do that to me in public, as my name is pronounced Ay-Va... thank god! Haha

Do you know where I could find that setting? Like in "Advanced Options" or something? Thank you for your help, Ghastley!

EDIT: WOO HOO! Thank you Ghastley! Problem fixed !!!!!

Awesome animated avatar Eva !!!!

...Um...Me too...That's why I was...Er... ...

So next week I try out for lifeguard classes to become a lifeguard. Getting paid $10 an hour to do nothing . . .but sit there and watch old people and kids swim and of course the occasional hottie!

But a friend told me I should do . . .ugh . . .webcam modeling . . .get much more money as a partime . . .

Don't think I should. Don't want my parents walking in the house and catch me on my modeling gigs.

If you want to do modeling, go to a legitimate modeling agency - not the webcam. Local department stores, companies, hospitals, doctors, car dealerships, etc - their advertising circulers/catalogs/and local TV ads are picked up through a legitimate agency locally. A good agency will make your portfolio at their expense with a contract, and you can take the lifeguard job as well - just take off for your modeling gigs.

How did it go yesterday, Elisabeth?

I once worked for a tiny woman (I am an average sized woman) who told me to do the exit interview with a huge, scary-looking male employee. Really, the guy was sort of a giant. Which was great because he could lift the really heavy stuff to the top shelves, that is when he decided to show up for work. Thus the need for an exit interview.

So we sat down (I think, he was still very tall when seated) and I explained why we were having a discussion.

He said, “Exit interview… Am I being fired?”



Yeah, so I had to back up a little and fire him first. That was a surprise and not really my job, but in the end he was not as surprised as I was. Also he had always been sweet to me, which is probably why the manager told me to deal with him in the first place. She was always kind of a umbrella seller. To everyone.

Anyway I’ve been trying to remember the stories from my retail days, but most of them are more sad than funny. I might need twenty more years before I see the humor in them.


I think you're right. I expect there are a lot of ways you might end up regretting it.

-smiles sweetly-

I will PM you.

The radio in the basement was playing a weird ad

A little boy was screaming "Mom? Mom! MOOOOOM!" it scared the living s*** outta me

I think your friend may just be a particularly cunning chatbot...

I laughed EXTRA hard at that!!!!

Yeah, they might slip on the Jello!


So did I.

Josie finally got voted off Top Chef - WOO HOO !!!! No more obnoxious laugh! (last week's episode I missed)

Top Chef - Alaska: Sheldon is wearing two pairs of drawers to keep his "package" warm. It must have done some good, he won the quickfire.

Lizzie was sent home for something they have talked to her about all season = seasoning, or lack thereof in her cooking. Bye Bye Lizzie. She has gone to the "Last Chance Kitchen" to cook off against Kristen (who I hope wins it).

Brooke is really charging ahead in the competition these last several episodes, and Sheldon is taking big risks trying to keep in the game.

Josh's wife went into labor.

I'm still PO'd that Kristen and Stephan are gone.

Cooking doesn't get tougher than this... ...

So what plans does everybody have for valentines day?

Luckily I ALWAYS get a gifts and cards on V-Day.... because it's my birthday, too haha. There's no doubt my boyfriend will take me out; most likely drinking. He tries to be romantic at times, but fails miserably; but at least he tries haha
