Hi everybuggy.
*sigh*
I'm feeling kind of...in the box. I'm not playing well with others. The job has been a bit of a grind, a lot more soul-sucking than usual. I blame it on execs desperate for bonuses and the real belief that Targ-hell (and most retail) has that one person can do the work of a full crew if they put their mind to it, and are properly motivated by fear. Sadly, fearing for my job only makes me crabby and want to strike out at the innocent.

And another thing. People, people--curb your children. I may be fat and white haired and jolly looking, but appearances deceive--the only way I'd like your kid is in a cream sauce with asparagus on the side. I won't watch them and your purse while you change. I will not entertain them while you shop. I will not discipline them when they act out--that's your job, damn it. And if you were half-way decent at that, you wouldn't be asking possibly dangerous people to look out for your kid. Just because I work here doesn't mean I'm sane or trustworthy....

So, my crabbiness slops over into my LJ life. But because I love and value you guys, I try and keep my bad mood to myself. I'm not very interactive anyway, but not because I don't care. You know I do.

*sniff* my stories are breaking my heart. They are sitting in the corner staring at me. I'm staring at them. And we're both thinking, who are you kidding? But I keep going because I don't know what else to do. *g*

Want to hear some good things? BG's pics of Italy are beautiful. What a thrill to see pictures of places I wrote about in L&C Do Europe. Also she was very kind and didn't say "Maaaaaaaaaaaah-aaaahmmmm!!" when I'd chirp, "oh Clark was there! Lex and Clark visited that place!" She'd just smile and say, "oh yes?" as if I was sane. *g*
Isn't she darling?

She's letting me post her pics, even though she had a fit about me posting pics of myself. She's still afraid one of you will be so overcome at my pucuddlegyness that you'll want to steal me away....goodness. We've wandered to the end of another post. I feel a teeny bit better for sharing. Thanks!
eta:sorry, meant to cut that!

My family is equally tolerant of my fandom ravings. *g* Aren't we lucky?

So sorry to hear about the job stuff. It'll pass. *hugs* Things will get better.

And your stories will come back and snuggle you soon. *snuggles you* How could they resist?

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-08 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks so much--yeah, the job thing will get better as soon as I stop worrying about it. It comes in cycles--bastards.
As for the stories--I threatened them with beating and deletions, and the mprg sequel at least decided to cooperate. So, so many cuts. *sniff*

*hugs you and pats you down for cookies*

Gosh, another LJ friend of mine is having trouble with kids and customers where she works. Retail sounds like a nightmare. I hope things look up!

Think porny thoughts, and things will look better.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-08 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
See, people suck all over. Retail can be the devil some time.

*Clark and Lex. Clark and Lex. And Bruce. And the Joker*
Oh, that does help. *g*

You know what? I am sure I weird you out. But I really care about you, in that strange way people are taken with another person instantly. Your heart comes through everything, even through something as nearly anonymous as LJ, and I'm always surprised by it. You just seem like such a strong, loving person, the fire of your family, and that's inspiring to me.

I don't want to sound trite, but though I feel for you right now, while you're struggling, I can't help but see that you can see through this kind of rut, that your heart is strong. Good luck with your writing, and with work. Those crazy bitches that push their children on you just need a kick in the ass, right? Jesus. That's depressing. I guess...it's nice to know that you can see how stupid and potentially negligent their behavior is.

I hope you're feeling better.

OMG I fucking love you. This is how I feel about Roxy, too.

BTW, Roxy, I sent you something in the mail. It's missing 3 episodes from the end of S2, but I don't think that matters because the show goes by arcs, not seasons. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get it.

There, there! Good luck with the job!

Yes, your BG is a darling! Yay!

She can be. *grin*
Especially since she's finally thrown in the towel on Mom writing porn.

Is totally cool to have someone that doesn't understand your obsession act like that!

oooooohh, it was rough in the beginning, she's finally come to accept it. My poor family! *g*

The job has been a bit of a grind, a lot more soul-sucking than usual. Oh god, that so annoying and stressful. I have this feeling lately too. *pets*
I'm glad your daughter had so much fun in Italy. She's a good sport, really. You know if my mom were writing slash I'd be supportive, too, but were she to find out htat I'm reading it... Gah, the thought alone terrifies me.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-08 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
It was...strange, to say the least. I kind of broke it to them in bits and pieces, except for my niece who was all "YaY! My Tante writes porn!!"

[identity profile] fleegull.livejournal.com 2006-07-08 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
You should tell those parents to be a bit more careful when they bring their kids to Tar-jay, there's a reason why they can sell a whole summer wardrobe for $40.00.......

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-08 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hah! your icon! I like it!
It's not because we sell the kids they leave in the aisles, is it?

Boasting moment.
My sisters-in-law (twins who look like models straight out of a fashion magazine...HONESTLY, I'll send you pics!) who have 2 girls each , always gape at my son (who now is 5) because he says "excuse me, mom" before he speaks, "may I please be excused?" when he's finished with his food and NEVER runs around when with us at a store, EVER. He stays with me and the cart, does not yell like a fiend or bump into people like a heathen. And there are NO tantrums at my house because they will get. You. Nothing. Lesson learned once. People need to raise their children, period. I may not be perfect but my son near as heck is, lol!!! (ask [livejournal.com profile] tortured74, lol)

And L&C do Italy, AWWWWW!!!!
Want to steal you away? I'm waiting to move in!!

You and Stories need to make up. Or am I going to have to lock you up in a room with lots of booze and no bathroom?
;D

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-08 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
See? People need to understand kids aren't born that way, the parents *raise* therm to be like that--and trust me, when I see a well-behaved kid, I go out of my way to compliment them. BG was a well-behaved kid too, mostly 'cause I'm a nudge, or so she tells me now. *g* Tell your son I said Mizz Roxy is all impressed! *hug*

Want to steal you away? I'm waiting to move in!!
cleans house real quick*
come on!! :)

Me and the stories are making up, I swear!

i never understood that whole thing with people thinking retail people are buillt in babysitters, like just because we are employeed by the company, we're obligated for that shit. when i managed video stores, people would try and drop their kids off the whole damn day while they went shopping!! unbelieveable. i was always this close to calling the police or child protective services for an abandoned child. if they ever asked me, i would say no, i'm sorry, we can't be responisible for children in the store not supervised by a parent. the gall i tell you. *sigh*

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2006-07-08 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Right? it's so stupid! We're supposed to be cordial and helpful, not flaming 'step on my face' assholes. I've had three(!!!) complaints last month from people who felt I didn't do enough for them--mind you, after I did above and beyond what Target required I do for customer service. Talk about going off! I swear, people look at me and get the wrong idea entirely.

when i managed video stores, people would try and drop their kids off the whole damn day while they went shopping!!

The fuck??!! Really?? People are truly shit sometime, aren't they?

Man, retail can be hell, especially in large retailers. Small retailers are much better to work for imo.

*hugs* i hope the execs will wake up and smell the coffee soon. Otherwise we can make Superman crush them with extra large bundles of paperwork ^_^
