Does there exist fic (or a legit book) where MA and Jenny bond over their parent dressing them like the ideal little girl, even though the ideals are different? Because if not, the universe has failed me.
In other news, tomorrow we'll try and resume the MH chatter. I believe Ghoulia is next up, though maybe someone else will sing louder. We shall see. It'd be today but yesterday kind of threw all my plans out the window and today is playing catch-up.
To apologize for yesterday sucking horribly, work had the new Wet n Wild display out on the supers. Out on the actual floor? The new Katy Kat Matte lipsticks. Alas, someone else had already descended and three or four of the colors were long gone, but I did snag the one that was always out of stock on Walmart when I was debating pre-ordering them there (Pink Paws). Since they're buy one, get one halfsies (even if they're super expensive at work) and I had two coupons... I snagged Cat Call, Sphynx, and Magenta Minx (I think on that last one) and I'll let you know how it goes.
Annnnnnnnnd the makeup loving coworker and I may have each purchased the new Covergirl Supersizer Fibers mascara. I know, I know. But... a) it was there and b) I thought my coupon would work. It didn't (boo!) and she was pretty shocked by how tiny the wand is, but my homework today is to give it a whirl.
Which I am totally gonna do in a bit.
Sweet bleeding fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I am so tired of people who should know better posting those obnoxious things about how workers (usually McDonalds employees, but not always) don't deserve $15 an hour. It's usually coupled with a complaint that the military grunts or paramedics (the one that sent me off today) or some other 'worthy' profession make less. Think about the last time you had to wait in line at a fast food place. Odds are good at least one person was a right royal ass, and I think we all know that if you didn't witness it, you can imagine the last time you saw it. Or, y'know, were the person who went off because it happens. Now multiply that by a gazillion. Because that's how many assholes these people see.
And it's not just the fast food workers, it's going to affect other jobs because if the McDonalds down the road is offering a decent paycheck, then other companies will have to follow suit.
Seriously, why does it bother people so much that someone else might not have to decide between food and electricity if their pay wage went up? I'm assuming the idea is that ohnoes, all the prices will go up everywhere or ohnoes, my favorite Mom n Pop place (that I never actually go to because Walmart/McDonalds, that's why) will never be able to compete and it'll kill them.
Look. As someone who has watched the Powers that Be in Corporate nickel and dime their employees to death, I can assure you that a happy, decently paid worker is worth far more than the worker you have broken. When you've broken your employees, they do not give one single fuck. They don't give a fraction of a fuck. None. Not even a little. They're not going to go above and beyond, hell, you're lucky if they do the bare minimum. And if they do more than that but the other workers don't? Oh hell no.
It's crazy to think about how different the store is from when I first went in. It's night and day (ha, pun not intended!) and the customers have noticed, too.
And now I'm gonna shush because if I dwell on the changes or the stupidity from people (and some of them have worked the very jobs they're mocking and I assure you they did not leave because the job was beneath them) I'm just gonna go off on someone.
