Yeah, THERE'S A Way To End The Day

crossover_chickOne of my last customers of the day was this guy who came in asking to call my boss. Apparently he had a problem with his bedding. I provide a number, he calls:
"Hey, how are you? Yeah, my kid has head lice--"
The last five minutes of my shift were me mentally going "OMG!" and praying he didn't bring that shit in! I was fully prepared to refuse to touch it. Luckily he didn't -- just asked for some plastic bags to bag it up.
-J2: Ewww!-
Yeah, I know. Adding insult to injury was when my coworker R showed up. Instead of coming right in and letting me get all my shit together so I could leave, she lingered in the car for a few minutes, coming in right at the last second. Considering I was dealing with lice guy AND I'm on my period (which makes me cranky extraordinare), I'm surprised I didn't snap and start screaming.
-D: I'm starting to worry your job is becoming a health issue.-
-M: Especially if you got near any of that lice shit.-
I stayed away while walking out the car, and I didn't touch any of it. Eugh. . . .
And the shit didn't stop at work either. I've been trying to set up a PayPal account so I can easily buy stuff online (those eBay auctions I'm watching, the new BTTF Minimates), and it's been giving me shit about already having an account set up. I sent them an e-mail explaining I shouldn't have an account and what's the deal --
Their e-mail back was just them saying, "Hey, here's how you set up an account!"
THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE, DUMBASSES! The issue is that apparently already HAVE an account when I really shouldn't!
-VD2: O.o *worried* You don't think someone's using your e-mail. . . .-
Wrong address -- the one I use the most is hotmail. I do have an idea of what happened, though. My mom has used my e-mail in the past to buy things for me, and it's caused problems before. . . .
And of course, when I played Alice, I STILL couldn't get past the stupid leaves. I keep FALLING OFF. And when I try to get back on, I keep mistiming my jumps! Fucking hell!
-RPD: Patience, Vicky. You're sure to get it eventually.-
-M2: And if worse comes to worst, just put on the "god" cheat or something.-
Godmode doesn't save me from everything, though. I think you can still drown, and I know there's one fish that can still eat you.
*sigh* Some days, life just sucks, ya know? It doesn't help that I'm feeling all spacey and shit.
-HD: *tentatively offers tea*-
No thanks, need something more chocolately.
-OD: *tentacles cheep* At least it's the weekend. You can sleep in if you like.-
Heh, not so much tomorrow. If the weather's good, we're heading up to the mall. I have gift cards to use. I'm hoping to get Winter Masques to spur along my Changeling stuff. Also maybe see if that Hot Topic has any Corpse Bride T-Shirts. I generally have something wearable for each of my fandoms, and Corpse Bride is lacking.
-TTV: I'm sure you'll find something.-
Yeah. Also, bit of a reader quiz time -- when hitting Borders, I think I'm gonna trade my Goodkind for Prachett and get one of the Discworld books. Where's a good place to start for a newbie? I'm tempted to skip some of the earlier books and go straight for "Hogfather," which sounds to be a favorite.
-TD: I say, whichever one is the most Mad Sciencey.-
It's really more magic oriented, though there is a book on the invention of Discworld "Music With Rocks In It.-
-VDM: Hell yes!-
Anyway, I should really attempt something on Changeling stuff since I'm in the mood. Maybe it'll take my mind off the persistent image of American McGee's Alice -- minimates.
-MF: Yeah, seriously, where did THAT come from?-
I dunno! I was looking at the little skirt on the Lorrainemate, and suddenly -- poof! Alicemate! Have to have a Mad Hattermate too, and Cheshire somehow. . . .
-HD: Oh yes! There should be all sorts of Wonderland Minimates!-
Heh, I actually Googled Alice minimates. Discovered the rather disturbing idea of an Alice COOPER Minimate. And I thought the Jack Bauer one was weird.
-M2: . . . Do I want to ask what that red thing in his crotch is?-
Probably not.
