That's ok, Sara will hook me up with some sparkles and all will be better.

Everything is better with sparkles. Except vampires. But other than that, everything.

No. Apparently my oldest kidlet does, though.

At 3 a.m. With eyes all maniacal and stuff. Yeah. That was last night. Then I was up. Like, up, up. For the day.

I'm so tired I could collapse.


Oh-- Sara!

*scrapes sparkles off of tail and hands them to Sara*

Lets keep the sparkles where they belong, shall we, Ted?

I prefer to be able to dig up my back yard at night without sparkling, sometimes it best to go unnoticed.

Actually, it's not horror. Weird, huh?

It's for a 200 word limit prompt on shyness.

You should've asked Ted, he could've given you some insight on that....

Ooh--TED! Ted should totally enter this, too.

Ted, you have some short stuff laying around, don't you? Any chance it could be tweaked to fit a shy prompt? Or you could pen something new. It's only 200 words.

But the deadline is next week. Just...FYI

ugh, tomorrow will be my ninth straight day of working. I'm ready to freakin' blow the place up. I don't think I can take it anymore.

I have vacation coming, but not for two more weeks.

I'll try, but I may need to char someone.

Today an idiot called cussing everyone out because we didn't get his online order for his photos. Tried to explain to him that he must've done something wrong in the ordering, but he was cussing so much he didn't understand. After he cussed out everyone from the clerks, to me, to management he redid his order and then it came though. But then he called cursing us out saying that we were just trying to get double payment and that we were going to charge him for both orders.

How could we charge him for something we never received? I think I'll char him tomorrow when he comes after his photos. I dislike people very much.

Hmm. My default response to situations that are crazy weird like that is "I'm sorry, I don't understand." (you gotta deliver it calmly, though)

Keep repeating it after everything they say.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"I'm sorry, I just don't get what you are saying."
Etc.

Eventually they just give up because they are frustrated. I mean, what can they do? You just...don't understand what they are saying.

It works. Really.


ETA: *sigh* It doesn't work on puppies, I'm afraid. I just tried it.

Sounds like a smartass response to me. I like it.

I think the guy would've really of blown a gasket if all I said was that I don't understand. But that would've been hilarious.

Actually after the first curse word to me, he was promptly redirected to the manager. I don't get paid enough to put up with that. If you can't talk like a human, you won't be talking to me.
