Cramps... that time of month. Suddenly I can't stand up from pain. I envy men.
You remind me of the babe
What babe?
The babe with the power
What power?
The Power of voodoo
Who do?
You do!
Do what?

So and old man came in and wanted to exchange some garden lights. He didn't have a receipt but he did have an older receipt showing he returned them once before already. I explained I would go ahead and echange them 'again' but he wouldn't be able to keep bringing them back without the proper receipt. He got mad and me and said he would just return them. I said you can't. You don't have your receipt. I don't know how you paid. But I would go ahead and exchange them anyways. He said I was going to lose a customer!
He finally grabs the new ones and says I don't want to come back here!

My union, the MEA, hungry for dues, despite the fact that it has demonstrated itself to 100% useless - having been ineffective in preventing huge pay cuts, loss of benefits, grossly reduced pension, the complete elimination of even rudimentary job security - has turn me over to a collection agency.
We F'ing pay the dues, as we can, and end up paid up, eventually, but, thanks in part to a completely impotent union, I have trouble just paying for food.
I wanted to be part of the union because it seems like my only hope, but this is crap. Further destroying my credit while proving nothing is not going to help. I will have to drop out, and keep the $1000 bucks in my pocket where it actually does some good.
God dammit! Even the F'ing union sucks big time.
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
No matter how hard you work, as soon as shit gets hard, everybody starts cutting your throat.

Work thing going on that I can't post details about online; BUT there are events afoot that really make me wish I was better at computers so I could get a big stick and go to peoples' houses and beat them over the head with it for the stupid things they're doing that basically mean I'm sacrificing half my shift to research, collaborate, and train people in counter-intelligence tactics.
Thanks... It's OK. I ought to know better than to pin hopes on any political organization.
The union has proven to be pretty useless anyway.

But they were doughnuts of darkness. Evil damned doughnuts, tainted by the spawn of darkness.... Which could obviously only be redeemed by passing through the fiery inferno of my digestive tract.

Lols. I didn't call him. If Bugs is trolling you then that's all on him. I reserve Bugs for larger issues. He's too unpredictable to let loose for small stuff. Hillarious but unpredictable.
Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
