So today was the day of my barista-ing job.
Good news is that I made killer tips yesterday and today.
Less good news is that I came home to cat vomit on my bed.
I think I'll be happier about this when I have a bit more sleep and I'm less emotionally hammered from the last two weeks.
(Also, the thought of never having the one guy who comes in and orders a "light" oatmeal when what he MEANS is a "small" or a "cup" is making me really, really happy. I have no idea why that annoys me so much, but it does. It's gotten to the point where whenever he says it, I'm thinking, "so.... you want oatmeal that's light enough to pass for white? Lighter than a paperbag is the rule, right?" Even though I know that's not what he means.)
On the plus side, we got our house painted, and it looks fabulous.
Also, I finally got to see all of Juno (had to send the disk back because the first time we got it from netflicks we got halfway through and then the disk was unwatchable.)
It wasn't as funny as I expected, but it was really good,
Also, I sort of watched Memories of A Geisha. And by watched, I mean I watched the first half an hour, realized this movie was going to be epically long and sad, and then went to go answer emails.

The situation:
My room is a disaster area, I have a million emails to answer and I open tomorrow. Upside, I finally have the chance to run errands. Downside, I have an hour to get everything organized for said errands tomorrow.
So, flist, your mission, should you choose to accept it.....
Link me to pictures of Karrin, with good images of her outfit. (I'm thinking she's a good candidate for thrift store cosplay.)
Also, does Rin from Black Cat have one, distinctive outfit, or it her recognizable piece of attire her heart necklace?
Does anyone know how to get good glasses that look like prescription but aren't? For reasonable prices?
Does anyone know of other red heads in anime? (Besides Gojyo)
Speaking of everyone's favorite kappa, does anyone have hints on where I can find leather/fake leather pants and coats should the thrift store fail me?

My relationship with the cash register is like the Neji/Hinata chuunin fight. (Hint: in this metaphor, I'm not Neji.) I'm telling myself being off exactly $2.00 isn't that bad, but it means I gave two people extra change.
I'm going to be so relieved to quit in a month and a half that I feel like I'm failing somehow.
Also, I am fucking sick of working closing shifts.
On the subject on coffee, protip from your friendly neighborhood barista: iced drinks are a rip off.
My boss tells me to add a huge amount of ice, which means most of the time you're getting shots and a splash of milk, and she wants me to put the ice in first (so the shots melt it). Frankly, this strikes me as a rip off, since you're getting less actual drink for the same amount of money. Plus, how good can watered down latte taste?
And I just got my new drivers license in the mail (which I thought would cheer me up) and because I was a fucking moron and try to do things BEFORE my license expires, I have a vertical driver's license instead of the new, over 21 horizontal license. I am irrationally pissed about this.
Also,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mzminola, my mother and I were both reading this essay on PTSD, and your mother asked for the link, so if you could please show this to her?
So, my day really wasn't bad enough to justify this, butfernwithy is doing it and I'm going to too:
"Do you ever want to make an entry that says "LOVE ME, I FEEL LIKE CRAP," but that's kind of not a good thing to do because it's attention whoring?
"... Well. I don't care right now.
"LOVE ME GUYS. I will do my best to love you in return. I WILL NOT TELL YOU HOW I PLAN TO DO THIS, but I think it would be nice for everyone to have some love right now. You can even take this as a MEME and go attention whore in your own journals. Switch it up, make it a thing where people give you new icons, or write you fic, or bring their RP characters in to be obnoxious. WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER."
So, feel free to post this in your journals, so I can give you some tit for tat.

I got my schedule for the next three weeks, and, fuck.
I'm closing every single shift save two, which totally blows. First, because closing is waaaay harder than opening, secondly, it means I'll be getting home at six-thirty, which means that my whole day vanishes.
Also, I'm basically working full time. I'm actually working more hours than my mother (who works full time), and what's really annoying is that it's getting harder and harder to find time to work for the people I garden for who pay me so much more for my time.

As per usual for me, Friday the 13th was a good day, but as I worked, went to dinner, and got home fairly late, plus I have to open in about fifteen minutes, I didn't get to post this yesterday.
So, please tell me about your favorite spooky fic idea - what you wish someone would write, or would like to write yourself, if time permitted.

I am not even going to start telling you about everything that sucked about my day. Let me just skip to the end, the absolute worse, where at 1:25 (I leave at 1:30) the guy who had earlier made an inappropriate comment when I said, "I can ring you up." noticed I had an Obama sticker, and wanted to know why I was voting for him.
Me: I like his plan.
Him: What plan? *voice gets loud* [something, something] what about his radical Muslin background?
Me: What radical Muslin background?
Him: His father was a radical Muslim.
Me: I'd check your facts.
Him: It's not cause I'm a conservative! I'm not a McCain man, as far as I'm concerned he's a liberal too, there hadn't been a true conservative in Washington since Roland Regan.
Me: Look, I really don't want to have this conversation with you, I leave in five minutes.
He harangues me some more.
Me: Look, I don't want to discuss this with you, I'm not telling you how to vote.
I go to put in my time, say goodbye to Normally Awesome Girl, and as I'm walking out he goes, "I didn't mean to offend you," something something, and I go, "I am not offended. I just worked an eight hour shift and I don't want to have this conversation with you."
Him: "I don't see what your job has to do with it!"
Me: I don't want to have this conversation.
*leaves*
What really sucks in that since this guy comes in every fucking day, I'm going to have to see him again, and I'm going to have to tell the boss this happened (their friends) and hopefully she'll tell him to never try to talk politics with me again.
