i mean i agree but what exactly are they supposed to do when it's busy?

maybe have someone who just deals with "on holds" and goes around every 30 secs or something to personally let them know they care and are getting someone soon? honest possible solution not trying to be snarky

anyway hope you're feeling better

Some british woman called the phone in the restaurant where i work, didn't introduce herself and continued to inform if we served fish and chips. I said we don't, it's a vegetarian place. It was quiet for a moment before she said "well no thanks for your non-service and i fucking hate you", just before cutting the connection.

Didn't see that one coming.

That famous British politeness literally knows no boundaries

911 manages. It’s doable.

Already got my ticket :)

there's a suicide awareness extravaganza going on in front of my domicile.

first they played let's get in started in here, followed by you me lift up. now they're rounding things off with eye of the tiger.

now i want to kill myself.

suicide awareness extravaganza woop woop

My car started! Omg I’m so happy.

What it was, was over at John’s house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying – I don’t even know if we were staying over or anything – we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.

and where the fuck

was my invitation to this party?

I'm having a party! A mini pity party, that is. Turns out I'm going to be in Portland the night Failure is playing there, but I won't be able to go because I'll be in a hotel room with my kid and no one else to watch her. This will be the 4th concert I've been close enough to touch and not attending since she was born, and it's making me selfishly sad. I wouldn't trade situations, obviously, but it would have been less hurtful if it didn't have to be THAT night they were in Portland. Meh.

I'm at the Peter Murphy show and there's a quiet spot and you hear this deep southern "FUCK YEAHH"

And Murphy says in his quaint British accent "yeah that's what this show needs, because this is a fuck yeahh kind of show"

then does his best trucker "fuckkk yeah"

laughed so hard

classic LCD Soundsystem!

classic mischievous mals!

i taught an ESL class by myself for the first time tonight. i felt so ill-prepared that i printed some class curriculum suggestions, but i didn't even use them since it flowed pretty well and went as planned. i had 4 students--all beginners--and, uh, it was great. i observed an old white guy teaching last week and he seemed a little condescending (and his lesson was all over the fucking place) to the students and his Spanish was better than mine.

i volunteered for a rape crisis hotline and there were actually a few fucks (lame dudes) that would call and make up stories for reactions and we were most certainly sure of it, but in the off-chance it MIGHT NOT be a joke, we had to take it seriously while also sensitively and seriously pressing for info until it wasn't fun for them anymore.

get real or get real.

ad hoc dinner of sweet potatoes w/ ginger and lemon and a side of chickpeas w/ spinach.

i went to the grocery school today and bought a cuke, red lentils, broccoli, and pumpkin seeds. i thought i would use them tonight for something but nah. i think i am in the beginning stages of making a concerted effort to cut down or eliminate completely any packaged food and juices from my diet. i just won't buy any more food that comes in a box or is cooked for me already.

needed change for a 5 yesterday and went to 7-11 and only bought an orange (usually i would never buy an orange from 7-11). overpriced, but i needed the change rill bad and didn't want to buy a bag of chips.

actually, i haven't made the dinner. just sitting here thinking about it.

ok
