Birthday rantings
Sep. 15th, 2006 01:17 pmFigures. I decide what to get Cass and... it's sold out. Damn it! So then I spend another hour trying to decide between similar items. This is after I braved the horror that is the mall and the scent overload that you might call Bath & Bodyworks. *dies* So many scents in one itty bitty space. So many blondes, all so very, very chipper... My headache roared back into being within minutes of crossing the threshold. And I spent entirely too long pacing the store trying to find her friggin' Japanese Cherry Blossom, and naturally when I found it, it was one of the scents with the least amount of things to choose from. Also, to be honest, the stuff is extremely overwhelming, and that's just from sniffing the top of the bottle. o_O
Now I'm curious as to what their Chery Blossom smells like. Is it as headache and gag inducing? I couldn't be bothered to try it in the store because I was starting to go a little stir crazy. I'm fine if I go there with other people, but alone? I start to get twitchy.
Work was work, highlighted by a couple of things.
One) I was able to help put out Halloween goodies. There was a downside to this: Trying to shove out last year's crap as well. That was just a disaster. After awhile I thought I was going to be violently ill due to the sickening smell of fake liquorice that seems to be the universal scent for all cheap halloween candles. Good lord, it was awful.
Two) The boss this week is insane. He hung this creepy zombie looking decoration [she sounds like a whale, though I imagine it's supposed to be moaning] from the sign, which then proceeded to freak us all out. See, prior to her hanging, she looked rather lame. But once she was up, your attention is drawn to our lady of super creepiness and it's just very ...strange. The skeleton on the other side wasn't anywhere near as creepy.
Three) When a fake bug was found in one of the boxes, he hid it on register 2 to freak Tracy out. *grin*
Four) He declared that for Halloween he'd put on a pair of the black fairy wings and nance about.
Five) My paycheck was again nummy in the large sort of way. I don't understand their holiday pay, but I'm not complaining one bit about getting holiday pay.
My computer is being a total whore, so I'm gonna go read some more of Twilight and pretend I didn't waste most of my morning waiting for OLOPM to get his ass out the damn door. I swear, he primps more than most girls I know.
Today is also a friend of mine's birthday. I've known her for 20 years. That's so weird to think about.
