Hmm.

Good things:

- Newly legal aneli8 came to visit me at work today and then went home with me. (That sounded rather wrong. I promise she was unharmed.) While I worked, she planted herself in a comfy chair and leafed through a big art book called 'The Hidden Love'. After she was done with that, she buried herself in 'The Gay 100'. I hate her.

- Work went surprisingly quickly today. I think it was due to the above point

Bad Things:

- Some idiot 'customer' had me growling all morning. Here's what happened:

This was 10:20am. By this point, I have already been awake for over 4 hours. The store was nearly empty. I was the only one up at the register, and wasn't doing anything, because there was nobody coming up to buy anything. It's pretty much always this slow in the morning. So, I was standing there and sort of reading through the 'Bushisms' books we have there, only looking around every once in a while. I didn't really notice the few customers milling around, because there was no need to. I suppose my face was the way it normally is when I'm not talking to anybody, daydreaming or whatever. It was just normal. Suddenly, I saw somebody standing behind the rope that separates the register line from the rest of the store. It was a man, in his fiftees, grey-haired, male-pattern baldness, ponytail. And he gives me this little wave.

'The fuck?' think I, as I tentatively wave back, still confused. The man follows the wave up with this:

'You know, I know it's a Tuesday, but just, you know...smile!'

He smiled, my face made some sort of an attempt at it, and he walked on. By the time I saw his retreating back, I wanted to gouge his eyes out with a very dull spoon.

I mean, who the fuck does that? The look on his face as he waved at me was like: 'Hello, why aren't you noticing me, you puny little human?'

Hello, it's because you are not worth my time this early in the morning, you selfish asshole. I don't smile while looking at nothing. I don't smile at every customer that walks by, because I am human. I didn't smile when your Royal Assholeness entered the store because I didn't SEE you. And, for all you know, somebody I know might have DIED, and you would STILL be telling me to smile, because it's all about YOU walking into a store and not feeling WELCOME, breezing in at 10:20 in the morning, when others have been up for four hours just so YOU can walk into the store and condescend to the employess, you selfish BASTARD.

Ok, I might have overreacted a bit, but it was really fucking obnoxious.

- I have a stranger sleeping in the living room, so I can't even get a Mike's Hard Lemonade or watched the 'Queer Eye' that I'd missed. Oh, well.

My other big news is the decision to celebrate whenever I get a job in school and pay off the rent in September. I am going on Amazon and ordering the original 'Queer As Folk' on DVD. Both seasons.

YES.
