@topic, I'm certain we inherited most of Borders' worst customers since they closed. I felt like I spent more time answering ridiculous questions and cleaning up messes than I did actually shelving books tonight. Someone asked me where A Tale of Two Cities was when they were right in the middle of the frakking fiction section. Really, you don't know that was written by Charles Dickens? Get out.
At this rate I'm getting there myself. I was pretty close to physically shaking with rage at certain points today. It didn't help that I was pretty damn sick for a lot of it as well.
Oh hey... these two orders have the same street name and they're ready at the same time, I'll take them as a double. Cool! What a nice little double! Here I go, to this street, do ba do ba do... hmm... why the hell can't I find this apartment complex? Why are the numbers around here so screwy? Okay I need 3631... there's 3651 aannnd right next to it is 3611... okay what am I missing here? Maybe I passed it?... urgh... WTF?... okay that's it. I'm calling the people to ask them where the hell they live...
OKAY SERIOUSLY, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE ENTRANCE, GO PAST THE GARAGES, AND INTO THAT LITTLE ROAD IN THE BACK AND THERE'S THE ONE I'M LOOKING FOR? NOW I JUST WASTED 5 MINUTES DRIVING AROUND THIS STREET ARUGH!
Okay fine... no parking places, ... guess I have to park far away ...
okay... it's quite a trek up to this place... now I just have to dial their code on the intercom... okay what was the number again?... FUCK I LEFT THAT SLIP IN MY CAR >_<
Okay, trek BACK to the car, get the slip... okay FINALLY, I'm inside. I've already wasted 10 minutes on this run... okay mam here's your pizza... what are you looking at?... you owe me money now... what do you mean you paid already?... I don't have a slip for you to sign... *sigh* okay I'll call the store... and ask them what's up. ... okay mam, you have to pay them over the phone so I'll just sit here and waste 5 more minutes while you get that taken care of...
ugh...
okay so, back in the car, got my next delivery... hmmn this street ends here... what if I put it into my GPS?...
WHY ARE THERE TWO STREETS WITH THE SAME NAME THAT ARE LIKE A MILE AND A HALF APART? ... ugh...
okay... go waaaay over to the other street... okay found the place easily nice... fuck I gotta park far away again. This is getting old. Okay... into the building, what do I press on the intercom?...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I FUCKING LEFT THE SLIP IN MY CAR AGAIN? WTF QUEX?... okay wait... maybe it says the number on the box... lemme check the box here...
THIS IS THE WRONG BOX! I DELIVERED THE WRONG BOX TO THE WRONG ADDRESS! THE ONE I HAVE NOW WAS FOR THE OTHER APARTMENT AND THE ONE FOR THIS PLACE IS PROBABLY HALF EATEN BY NOW!
... okay not quite, but I sure felt like it. Way to make a 20 minute run into 40, >_<

I was having a great day, I went out and everything but then someone had to tell me that I never put any thought into anything, and my whole life is full of nothing but my own stupidity. I don't really care if it was a joke. It hurt my feelings... bad.
^ tell him/her to say that allowed while facing a mirror. It's much better to here it that way. Seriously, it's much more stupid to say something like that in any way.

Objection! I actually have some fondness for a few members of the human race, so between obliterating the species and defending it, I have to opt for the latter.

So do I, but as Carlin put it, "sometimes in comedy you have to generalize." And if a Bender quote wasn't appropriate there, where would it be appropriate?
I have no idea why but my yahoo messenger account is locked. And its not sending me the email to reset shit when I try to get it unlocked. Its like the only messenger I ever use, and it is straight pissing me off that I can't get on it. I'm now trying to dust off windows live to tide me over while I try and fix yahoo, but fuck it won't sign me in unless I download the newest version. Shit sucks man, shit sucks.
Books are supposed to line up to the edges of tables. Some customer must have been pushing them back because several times in the past couple of weeks, they've been pushed back as far as possible. Shit pisses me off so much. It's like, don't you realise we have enough shit to do without you adding more unnecessary crap to our routine? Ugh.

I suspect it's a universal experience for people working in retail. Which would make you think that, if so much of the population worked retail at some point, wouldn't they have more consideration for the huge amount of work involved in working retail? But then, lots of people are too self-absorbed to give a crap, I guess.
Also the power just went out for about half a minute. Great job, FPL!
