Happens every time...

This was actually my Captain's idea, but I decided to put it in motion.

Retail: Yay

As is known, I also work retail, which all negative points aside, isn't so bad, considering I get 30%-50% off fantastic gear. So what could those negative points be? Customer crabbiness is a given, sometimes people just suck. It's those kind of people that rememind me of slinkies. Good for nothing, but bring you a smile when you push 'em down the stairs. But even the most disgruntled customer is only misery for five minutes. What could possibly worse? I will describe it in my new dialogue for a sales pitch. You will only hear what I would say:
"Hi, how're you doing? Is there something I can help you find?"
"Ok, well, be sure to check out our sales, and we have our new gear in the back."
"Oh yes, please, try on anything you like, in fact, try on EVERYTHING, and don't buy it, just leave it there."
"Oh no, if you would just roll it in a ball and leave it on the floor of the fitting room that would be fine."
"No worries, I'll just fold it later. In fact don't even put it back where you found it, no let's just THROW IT across the store and I'll take care of it later."
"Oh yes, I'll take care of the dirty diapers and moldy grapes you left behind no worries."
"WELL thanks for BUYING JACK, hope YOU have a GREAT day."


Beyond that, retail ain't so bad. For the record. Oh and buy our stuff, uh, because. No that's just it, because.

Things I learned today

Dawning of an Epic

I've decided to post each chapter of my book for the intent of folk being able to read it. Best way I think to get some input and things, but frankly, I'm not of the opinion that the novel will go anywhere, so it's going to be my second blog and that should be it. Someday, who knows, but I've just enough attention span to be able to blog regularly, and not so much write regularly. Thus why now has become the dawn of a new epic. Good times

Life's lessons

So I have just broke up with my girlfriend, and sure, I'm a bit broken up about it. But I think I learned something new about myself. First of all, that I'm still just an RM, and I still, no matter how much I try not to, act like the typical marriage crazy RM. The truth of that is frankly we can't change who we are. Granted it was more than my subconcious that made me crazy about her. I've learned what I need to be, and who I should be in the future. And I've learned that, frankly, I just can't handle a relationship right now. I'm not trying to be hard on myself, just realistic. It was a good run. I made some mistakes, and stumbled over some things. And dang it, having a car would have made life a whole heck of a lot easier. But it just wasn't the right time. And as low as my heart may be right now, I'm straight with that. I've come to terms with it and I'm settled. One thing is sure. I still love Firefly and Muse, and I must say I credit her as to part of the reason I moved out here, but I'm staying here. Because this is my new home, and this is where the Lord wants me to be. I think I've said my peace.
