Intense winds have knocked out power to half the town. The good part? My house is not one of them and the drive-thru I work as is. Ah, heat and tv instead of drunks and cold. Great turn of events.

It is not like Spider-Man thought to himself "I'm gonna beat me up a widower". If I remember correctly he only attack Doc Ock after he tried to rob a bank/kidnaps Aunt May.

So, K-Mart has layaway. The 4th was the day a lot of them had to be out. As such, layaway was insanely busy. But not so much so that you can lie and get double your stuff. A lady called in saying we didn't give her half her stuff. We asked what she didn't get and it was a 360 and random toys including a skate board. I question it, ask Loss Prevention to show me the video tape, using the time on her final layaway receipt. Sure enough, there is a video of me going into my stockroom, getting a 360, walking out of the receiving doors, handing it to a woman that had a cart full of toys and a skate board on top. After we called to tell her that we have video proof that she got her stuff, she came in and demanded to see the video. Once we refused (company policy), she called the cops. Needless to say, the cops didn't do anything about it.

To be fair, the only reason I started to give wrestling another chance was due to the shitty guest host gimmick. When I flip the channel and I see Bob Barker on RAW, I watch.

I am really getting tired of shit at work. This is what I have to ask/suggest to ALL customers when they buy something at my register. - Would you like to receive ten dollars in coupons via email? - Would you like to donate to St. Judes? - Would you like to put that on you Sears card? - Would you like to buy the extended warranty? - Would you like a Sears cards? - Would you like to sign up for a K-Mart rewards card? - Would you like to participate in a survey about your service today? - Would you like to learn more about Dish Network? - Would you like a gift card? - Would you like a gift receipt? - Would you like to rate my service? - Would you like a black bag? Every fucking time. I don't ask most of those. Utterly pointless and pisses people off. Plus, we started a new "5 Star System". Basically, if I feel that I have helped people in such a way that they are happy, I give them a card to which they have to go online and say I did a good job. This will result in me getting a star. People with no such "stars" will be placed on double secret probation. I like the idea of recognizing people for a good job, but this is stupid. Certain people have a disadvantage of working in areas that are low traffic. I am busy now, but after this month I will have very few people. Also, and I just thought about this, I can totally just go to the website and give myself a thumbs up.

I had a similar thing happen a few years ago. I got my schedule on Tuesday for the following Sunday. Five days in advance like normal. Every day before I leave I check the schedule just as a reminder. I worked Sat night and didn't have to come in until Wednesday. I had a voicemail saying that I failed to show when I woke up on Sunday. I called a questioned it and they said I was on the schedule. I said I had made plans and couldn't come in. I go in on Wednesday and get called into the office telling me that I am being fired for being a no-call/no-show two straight days. We argue for five minutes, with me saying I was in class during those times, before I storm out of the office, tear the schedule off the wall and ask where these shifts are listed at. They were all 'well, I guess you are not fired then.' Turns out, they had demoted the HR person during the week and Friday was her last day. She changed the schedule, and told no one. But she only changed mine and a few others. I knew she had issues with me for not having my hair in a ponytail, but still. I am glad she got fired for that.

It's true. The hat-wearing hot dog-eating contingent of my listenership is not to be fucked with. I don't even trust 'em! Seriously, I hope the holiday season gets better for you. It's why i don't shop at Christmas time or a month before anymore. People should just die. Don't trust 'em?!? We may be a scruffy bunch with a harsh exterior, but we have hearts made of gold. You should stop by our pancake breakfasts, which raise money for kitten and orphans. The worst is over. From here on in, Christmas Eve is the only day that will be hectic with last minute shoppers. But hopefully I will open that day and avoid everyone. Tomorrow is going to be cake for me. I am sold out of everything that was on the two-day sale. I got the okay to put up a HUGE bulletin board up stating as such so not as many people bug me with stupid questions. Hopefully I have enough time/people to get my department back in order. Then, two days off.

See what I wrote above? Same thing goes for today. However, it was quite as annoying today for whatever reason.

As for the Two-Face/The Batman issue, did we really need him? I think Ethan turning Clayface hits all the points that TAS did with Harvey turning into Two-Face.

Now I cannot look away. I know the owner of this car. Still not a cool as the Mystery Machine that drive around town with a giant stuffed Scooby in the passenger seat. I have to know. Why would they do this? Simple Math. Alcohol + Weed + Alcohol + Community Yard Sale = That Car.

I used to like Thanksgiving. Eat a nice meal & watch Barry Sanders play some football. Now working retail, I fucking hate the day. I had to work 11 hrs. because god forbid anyone else know anything in my department. So I had to go in at 6AM instead of Noon. Whatever really, time & a half plus double holiday pay is fun. Day starts and I get mugged, cuss at, and pushed all for some tvs and random stupid shit because grown adults seem to lose all sense of order when an mp3 player is $10 off. Serious, wait your fucking turn or you do not get any. I purposely did not give a lady one, because twice she tried to intercept my handing it to someone who asked before her. If the ad states no rainchecks, I can not give you a raincheck. If the as states it is a five hour sale, you have to be in the store during said five hours. If an ad sign says "Halo 3 X-Box 360 $39.99", that does not mean that all 360 games are $40. Reading comprehension, learn it. Complain about the fucking line? What the FUCK did you expect? Yes, there will be a line. There are not enough registers for every customer to have there own. Every single register in the store had a line. You waited ten minutes. Well damn, I apologize that you cannot stuff your face with turkey that much earlier. Do not complain about how many of a certain item I had in stock. I had at least double the amount the ad states. In most cases triple. I think it is unreasonable to expect me to have 100 cameras in stock as you said I should have. If you see me wearing a coat, hat, headphones in (listening to Dread Media, Ding!), eating a hot dog it is NOT okay to bug me about, well anything. I have no idea how they know I worked there, but I am obviously on my lunch break. In addition, I am not answering your questions while I am in the bathroom washing my hands and you are taking a shit. No. Just no. So in summary: Fuck this day. Fuck all the asshole that shopped today. Tomorrow will be worse. Now after all that, some people acted like, well, people. As such, I did everything I could to help them out. Ask nicely, be civil and I will work with you and make you a deal within reason. I think that qualifies as venting.

Now I cannot look away. I know the owner of this car. Still not a cool as the Mystery Machine that drive around town with a giant stuffed Scooby in the passenger seat.

For anyone interested: Turtles Forever. It was enjoyable. I will echo everyone saying that I never thought the old school Turtles being that annoying, but I haven't seen a episode in years so I have no basis for that than memories through an eight year old's eyes. Seeing the 'Classic' Turtles animated was super cool though.

Watched Raw this week. I was alright background noise. I was only really interested in the Punk/Cena match. As for the TLC PPV, I think it is a lame idea. Table matches rarely are fun for me (The aforementioned Hardys/Dudleys match is an exception). I have no idea what a chair match is, and a ladder match will be lost on PPV with 1+ TLC matches.

Rather unexpectedly, I was able to buy a car. Bank gave me a great rate that every other car dealership and banks was impossible. So, I am rather happy about that.

More of a "Did I just say that?" but I heard myself say it so here we are. A woman called into work yesterday and ask for a conductors wand. Why she called the electronics department I have no idea. She asked if I knew of any place in town that might have one. I said that there is music shop called Sweet Chin Music. I said this five times as she was kept asking the name. Store is called Sweet Man Music, which I remembered five minutes later. Then I had the image of Shawn Michaels owning a music shop and everyone that walks in get a superkick.

Well, one didn't last long and the other spelled it without the h. Due to some other ex's, I have sworn off all women with S names. Only reasonable option I have really. I due agree about the same name as sister thing. That would just be weird.

What the hell? Every Sarah that I have met in the past six years is evil. 3 ex-girlfriends named Sarah (all had major issues that didn't go well for me), ex-boss that was an uber-bitch, 2 blind dates and a former neighbor. All spawns of Satan. Hell, two of my friends dated girls named Sarah and they turned out to be either addicted to meth or bat-shit insane. The name was born of the purest evil imaginable. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

So, after driving an hour away to check out a car, test drive, haggling, credit checks, haggling, and a nice turkey on rye I get told I cannot buy the car. Why? Because they sold the car to someone over the phone while I was filling out the paperwork. What the fuck?

The Power Pack one is just wrong.

I agree with Dan. I love the series for the most part until they get married. I will say that when I went back and watched the series it didn't hold up all that well. I forgot all the horrible story lines that I did not care for (clones, amnesia, 'New Krypton'). But I did forget the awesomeness that is Tempus. Dean Cain is 'my' Superman due to being my 1st exposure to the character. I am kinda glad that the series ended when it did. If marriage ruined the show, then I would hate how the 'cliffhanger' would have driven the show.

I was checked out on the scene and was given the okay. Looking at the car today in the daylight, there is some blood on one of the headlights. So I did hit the bastard, which does make me feel a little bit better. Does that make me a bad person?

Fuck deer. I just (well four hours ago, but still) flipped my car because a deer thought it would be a good idea to just stand in the road. Yeah, I wish I would have hit the bastard, but no, I swerved without thinking and ended up upside down in the ditch. So now I have no car and still owe on the one that is now worthless. I am in slight pain and may be concuss. I have no car and got a $125 ticket for failure to control. FUCK DEER! I want nothing more than to find that deer, shoot it and make jerky from its dead body. Is that so wrong?
