Fuck you, Catherine Powell.

Also known as my great-aunt.

My great-grandmother is in the hospital currently due to pneumonia and, after that, congestive heart failure, and has herself suggested going to a nursing home. So what does Cathy do when she calls? She starts talking about how my grandmother doesn't want my great-grandmother around and is the one trying to put her in a nursing home, etc.

My grandmother was in tears by the end of the conversation, and it was only her slamming the receiver down that stopped me from grabbing the phone.

Catherine Powell, you moved to Illinois, we still live in Virginia. What right do you have to bitch about who people don't want around? And no, that's not an invitation to move back down here. We may want my great-grandmother around, but we're glad you're gone. We just wish you'd quit calling. Kindly go jump off a cliff.

EDIT: I don't normally rant about my family.

*looks at above rant*

I don't consider her family.

That said, I have another complaint.

(8:40:32 PM) Cheveyo: goddammit my cousin is such a fucking moron
(8:40:39 PM) Cheveyo: this is the one I had to help at the last second with her project
(8:40:47 PM) Cheveyo: as it turns out, though
(8:40:55 PM) Cheveyo: she already had done the goddamn thing
(8:40:56 PM) Mark: next week?
(8:40:58 PM) Cheveyo: and left it at home
(8:41:00 PM) Mark: AHAHAHAHAHAHA
(8:41:01 PM) Cheveyo: and NEVER MENTIONED THIS
(8:41:02 PM) Mark: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(8:41:05 PM) Mark: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(8:41:10 PM) Mark: OH WOW!
(8:41:19 PM) Mark: I'm sorry for laughing but
(8:41:21 PM) Mark: HAHAHAHAHA
(8:41:24 PM) Cheveyo: never mentioned it
(8:41:28 PM) Mark: XD
(8:41:28 PM) Cheveyo: we just now heard it from her mother
(8:41:29 PM) Mark: so like
(8:41:37 PM) Mark: she had you and her do it again
(8:41:38 PM) Mark: when like
(8:41:44 PM) Mark: she could have... PFFFT
(8:41:45 PM) Mark: HAHAHAHA!
(8:41:50 PM) Cheveyo: so I wasted a few hours on Sunday (and woke up two hours earlier than normal) helping that idiot


She's 13. She should know better.

Vulkar, that hilarity was probably unintentional.

And insectduel, I'm pretty sure the movie came before SMW2 was made.

On an unpleasant note, just about everyone at Dollar General is down to 15 hours each week.

However, two people are likely to quit, and we'll be allowed our extra Christmas hours soon - I've been told that I will be getting the majority of these extra hours.

You Should Be Allowed to Vote



You got 12/15 questions correct.

Generally speaking, you're very well informed.



If you vote this election, you'll know exactly who (and what) you'll be voting for.

You're likely to have strong opinions, and you have the facts to back them up.

Should You Be Allowed to Vote?


Wonder what I missed. Probably names. I'm terrible with names.


EDIT: Ack, bumped. Bad Thex.

4. Impulse-oriented items are near the checkouts. Stores stock the latest DVD releases and "froth" magazines there, along with overpriced beverages and candy.


You're damn right they're overpriced.

At the Dollar General I work at, here's the prices:

2 liter GeneriCola (that's not the name, but I wish it was): $0.75
2 liter Coke, Pepsi, Etc.: $1.15
20 oz. Coke, Pepsi, Etc., near the register: $1.25

If you're not seeing the problem, look at the sizes.

Also:

10. At the checkout, rethink everything you put in your cart -- and don't hesitate to hand an item to the cashier and say you've changed your mind. Many people seem to have a guilt, or obligation, to buy an item that they've put into their cart. Don't. You're the customer -- you have the right to choose whether to buy. If you find something you don't want to buy, tell the cashier and don't buy it.

Do those of us who work at the store a favor and put it back yourself. If we get bogged down dealing with people changing their minds and making us put their crap back, we get bitched at when we don't get everything else done on time.

It's not such a problem at the Dollar General, since it's such a small store that even with only two people working at a time, putting something back doesn't take much time. But in a bigger store like a Martin's or a Wal-Mart, there's no way the cashier's going to be able to put it back, and no guarantee they can catch someone else who will. Who'd put it back? The stockers aren't usually there in the afternoon and evening, the cleaning people are usually too busy, y'know, cleaning...

'course, if people would just stick to their lists...

I can say from experience Martin's didn't... the baggers did that. The baggers also had to get the carts, and sometimes (every freaking day, in my case) had to gather the trash and clean the floors. This on top of, y'know, bagging groceries, and anything else the managers needed done (I also restocked the milk section and helped rearrange the seasonal aisles once).

I'd say we had better things to do than put shit back where it was supposed to go.

I don't know exactly how big the store was, but it had 23 aisles, as well as a produce section that was approximately three aisles wide. Even after working there for seven months, I didn't know where a lot of the crap we sold was actually supposed to go.

This may be why there isn't anywhere under the conveyor belts that customers can access at the stores I've been to.

They put the perishables on the shelves or in the wrong cooler instead.

(12:52:03 AM) Cheveyo: which, by the way
(12:52:04 AM) Mark: oh one of THOSE automatic stages.

Johnny, one of my second cousins, was cutting meat on the coffee table. His baby's hand got cut.

His wife, Amanda (I may have complained about this moron before) called her sister-in-law Pam, who lives 20-30 miles away, to ask if the baby needed stitches. Do keep in mind the lack of camera phone.


I feel stupider having typed that. Fuck you both, you incompetent morons.

Only four? Fuck, I've had interviews that were almost nothing but those irritating open-ended questions.

Which is bizarre, since working at Wal-Mart really doesn't require much mental agility beyond juggling the competing demands of five different supervisors, but anyway...

Congratulations. How long did it take you, anyway?

See, the problem is, I know every single business I can apply at, because of my limited transportation.

More to the point, I walk everywhere because there's not a single reliable person I know with a car. The pay in this town's just shitty. Minimum wage in damn near every job, a gas station strangely being the only exception, but it's a bitch to get hired there. Apparently, a gas station paying nearly $9/hr as the starting rate doesn't often lose employees. No idea why.

See, that's also why it took me so long to find something; if I could get to Harrisonburg, Front Royal, or Winchester easily, then I would've had a job within a month of Wal-Mart firing me.

But this was about you getting a job, not my shitty job.
