Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

I'm really nervous about this week. Work is going to be ridiculously crazy. I'll miss the main Black Friday crowd Friday, but I was told the Thanksgiving crowd is when the crazies come out.

Today is just getting weirder all the time.

And colder. I think I'm frozen. A Cristencicle.

The cure...hmm. No idea, but a nap can't hurt.

Every Facebook post I see about Ferguson today is one post too many.

Also, this place is dead today X_X

Is it manly for men to shower using shower lotion and loofah? Just wondering ...

while i can't claim any real expertise on men's grooming or when your "man card" is in jeopardy, but:

actually, the "manly" part is just deciding what you need and not worrying about what others think. i briefly dated a guy who was a bit more high maintenance in his grooming regime, but i respected the fact that he didn't really care what anyone thought, and thus, a non-issue.

the manliness comes partly from the confidence of not needing the approval, too. oh, and did i mention how attractive confidence is??? : )

i say, as long as you don't smell like a giant bouquet of flowers, it's nobody's business but you own or use. : )

It really is. I think most everyone is off at these...whatchacallems...."jobs", or something.

Pretty sure it's a conspiracy.

Today is just a weird day.

I'm pretty sure Spice has an ear infection now. I guess Mocha and Spice decided to switch places. Spice will scratch her ear to the point where she whines and it's a really sad sounding one, too. Oy vey.

I can't speak for anyone else but that's where I was, at my job. Pretty slow today, not much challenge at all. Some days it's hectic, I have to try to keep up, but not today.

What do you do when you work for someone who is always the victim? It's driving me nuts.

Tell them it's annoying for them to portray themselves as the "pity poor me" type all the time, and tell them to grow up and get a life? lol.. that's what I would say anyway..

However since you work FOR this person, maybe ask them why they feel like a victim, and pray for them.

 

[MissCris]

I think tiny gnomes have been using pick axes on the inside of my skull today.

Mind mining.

Ow.

If my head didn't hurt so bad, I'd wonder if they found anything interesting.

Quote for the day: It's okay to sit on your pity pot once in a while. Just remember to flush when you get up.

NO NO NO NO don't say that! Ignore that, you didn't see it, I didn't say it...

I built a cake





p.s. sorry for taking up so much room with one post .

 

[MissCris]

Pipp, noooooobody minds giant cake posts

 

[Roh_Chris]

Cake!!!

Now this makes me feel bad because I can never eat desserts.

MissCris, have the gnomes finished extracting your brain?

Aaaagh. I'm about ready to hurt somethin'. I work for 8 hours on my birthday. I bought tickets in advance to go see a concert on my birthday (wasn't expecting a job to get in the way), and I'll get off work only 30 minutes before it starts. I dunno how long it'd take to get there from my work. It'd take 45 minutes to get there from my work...So I'd miss the first 15 minutes. That's ridiculous.

Don't know that you could get the whole day off work ( though you could offer to swap shifts with a co-worker) but you could probably find someone or a friendly supervisor who would cover an hour for you so you could get to your birthday concert on time. All is not yet lost.

I feel awfully weird this morning. Just...you know, stupid emotions and junk.

I watched the rioting in MO on the news last night. And it was so very...just sad. I'll keep my opinion on what lead to the riots to myself, but...Where is the sense in destroying the property of people who had nothing to do with the event they're rioting over? What good is that doing anyone? How does it make it right, how does it solve anything, to get violent and stupid and break stuff and steal things and get drunk?
I watched when a man walked up to the McDonald's...the majority of the crowd was heading towards the liquor store at that point, I think, but this man with a baseball bat went up to an empty McDonald's and busted the window...and this act, more than the others I watched...I dunno, so incredibly pointless. Senseless violence and destruction. Breaking stuff just because nobody was stopping them from doing it.
And the whole thing got me thinking...just...how very, very, very sad, and lost, and blind, people are.

This makes me think of this quote ( granted I rarely see the news here so I have no idea what is going on in MO):

“The riot was over the price of bread, I understand.”

No. The protest was over the price of bread, said Vimes’s inner voice. The riot was what happens when you have panicking people trapped between idiots on horseback and other idiots shouting “yeah, right!” and trying to push forward, and the whole thing in the charge of a fool advised by a maniac with a steel rule.

All that to say it probably isn't merely a case of people wanting to be destructive as people feeling trapped and angry and needing to lash out at something to get it out. Doesn't make it right, but part of the definition of rioting is people aren't thinking clearly.

You're welcome. I think it's important for people of little depth to be challenged. As they have the same voting power as the educated classes.

I miss the things I once had, even if not all of it was good. I miss the family, friends and places I would acquaint and be close to. I realize that I want a piece of the old things back, even if I try hard to depart from them. Not to mention that such places seem so foreign to me now. I hate being alone and yet I take solitude in it. How does that make any sense?

I need this clock

the MO thing is just people wanting to be destructive and get free stuff (looting). they don't respect the rule of law and they never will. they have that entitlement mentality that everything should be given to them and they should be allowed to rape rob and pillage at will and we "whitey" should just over look it.

Quite frank, I am sick of it. and so are many others. playtime should have been over long ago, I say it is time to just call open season on the lawless.

Not a good start to the day. I've been emotionally drained and I'm feeling low. Too many things on my mind.

Just can't wait to get back home after the day is over...
