heaven ain't close in a place like this

impyAn hour is more than enough time for someone to realize they fucking fell asleep at the keyboard and get up and talk to me. Sigh. It's my fault. I decided I needed an extra hour of sleep [I figured Mom was online anyway], and so I get there and he's halfway to dreamland.
Still... Annoyed.
Work: Did the entire back of the store [ignoring aisle 6] on my own. Scooooore! This was after sorting the little tags and 2/3 of the big tags, putting up school totes, and helping customers. Think I was inadvertantly too sarcastic to one boss, but the other kept giggling when I'd say something odd and then, at the end of the night, rewarded me with the, "You're so funny!" award. Nice to know I amuse people other than myself at times. Unfortunately, before I could float out on that bliss, Kathleen basically said she'd be calling out on Fridays. I was kind of annoyed because, dude. I've worked every Friday [except April 1] since sometime in February, or early March. You can fucking work Friday, too. Fridays are a bitch if you're working alone because the weirdos come out in the summer. I'm tired of working alone, kay? I wants a vacation, but I'm trying to hold out for sometime when I can actually do something for a couple of days rather than sit around and wish I was having fun.
Random Bitching:
But everyone else on the frickin' planet is going out of town or doing things without me. Both Ari and Cass have gone to see the new SW flick. Neither invited me to go. Fuck, man, I might have said yes you know. Instead, the people I'd counted on taking me to see it? They're going to see it Saturday. When I have to work. You know it's sad when even your parental units let you down on something like that. Or is it, when even your four year old nephew has seen the movie? I'm not sure. Bah.
Onto toys. Today I got yesterday's mail and there was a lovely Toys R Us thing, with a ten dollars off card on it if you spend $50 or more. Figuring it was possible since they had the Swapping Styles finally pictured, I conned Mom into taking me to TRU. When I got there, I realized that no employee has touched the My Scene section in months. The same Hilary Duff doll that was there the last time was in the same exact spot. Where she obviously didn't belong. I peeked in at the Fashion Fever stuff? Nothing new, despite a sign proudly proclaiming some bundle deal. Which they did not have. Even the Bratz let me down, though they did have Giant Baby Jade. Mom must have senses a slight annoyance in the force, because she asked someone for help. First he tried to convince me that the FF stuff was, you know, something it wasn't. So I countered with, "No, it's this. Exactly what it says it is. Which is not that. See? Cheaper." Very polite, actually. I had to do that three times. His boss, I guess, comes over and goes to the back, where apparently no worker has never ventured since there was so much stuff they haven't put anything out in awhile. Come back Tuesday. No, make that Wednesday.
As we were leaving, someone else stopped us and asked if we'd found what we were looking for. Based on the fact that I wasn't carrying bags filled with crap, I'd say the answer was no. But I didn't say anything like that. :p Dude knew they'd had a chance to make a teeny tiny fortune off me and blew it. which is good for my bank account [better than I knew at the time], but bad for them.
Onto Target. I'd originally planned on getting Scrubs, because fuck you Amazon. I ordered my stuff a week ago and you're just holding onto it and not sharing. There are, what, sixteen people on the planet who watch Scrubs? You can't tell me all of them ordered from you at the same time and that's just put you under an immense amount of pressure. First I couldn't find it. Then I found one, and wandered around the store with it, debating spending $35 plus tax on something that should show up this week sometime... Waffled on buying a doll or twelve. Walked away from them empty handed. Remembered I'd promised to buy Dad some tapes for Mom's birthday [how the man got blank tapes from "gardenia bush" and "light weight pocketbook", I'll never know]
Ended up buying Joan of Arcadia. I'm pissed that the show was cancelled, which I found out, what, 24 seconds ago? Fuck you, CBS. Why did no one tell me?
... yeah, i heard the jackass in the back yell, "Because no one watched it, moron!"
Sigh. CBS, CBS, CBS. I don't watch CSI spinoffs. I don't watch your reality crap. I... have no idea what else you have on, actually, but that proves I don't watch it either. I loved me some Joan. I'd better get them on DVD, or else I'm going to learn the ancient art of firebombs. Oh, yeah. I don't watch CSI either.
Ah well. Widget came over. Widget got presents. Widget is spoiled. Widget learned this choice phrase from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: "You ruined my life!" That's right, kiddies. He's got the Christian Slater love going already.
Also known as "What will either suck massively, or what will be cancelled very quickly. You know, the stuff that, at 4:30am sounds interesting to me.
-Supernatural why? Despite the lamer than lame title, it's got Jared Padalecki ! And, um, the premise doesn't sound horrifically sucky. yet.
-Related: why? I have no effing clue, other than I was at work, reading a magazine, and they mentioned it and I thought, "hey, I wanna see that."
-The Night Stalker why? Stuart Townsend.
-My Name Is Earl why, oh god, why? Jason Lee.
- Love, Inc. why? Shannen Doherty does comedy. sure, it's on UPN, but I can always look the other way on that.
- Ghost Whisperer why sure, it's got Love Hewitt and it's got JoA's old time slot, which means you know it's a goner for sure.
Curious to know if Fathom's based on the comic book or if it's just one of those things...
The sad thing is none of these scream to me on their own. None. I think I might like a couple, if I can get over various things. Like the fact that they're all on at the same time. *screams* Well, not all of them, but still.
Sigh. Every year they knock off a couple of shows I love and don't end up replacing them properly. Which would explain why my limited DVD collection is mostly TV. Why my want list? Mostly TV.
Annnnnnd to properly cap this off, I hate dreams where you're in pain. Actual physical pain. It's even worse when it's a dream within a dream causing you pain. Somehow that doubles the pain.
Still... Annoyed.
