That’s it. I’m starting my villain arch. The next customer that annoys me is getting hissed at and if they continue to annoy me I’m going to bite them.

No one:…..

Absolutely no one:….

Me:….yea so I’m gonna buy myself a lil treat with no where to wear said treat 🥰♥️

Big mirror smol bun, but I think it’s a yes to the dress, no? There are some company get togethers for my smattering of boyfriends and girlfriends that i can wear it to at some point. Will get it hemmed/wear 4 inch heels at least.

SILLYHAT VENTING AGAIN???!! what is new

anyway. couldn’t do any assignments this semester lmao. my english prof was so kind and gave me so much support but even then i’ve been trying for weeks to get these assignments knocked out but i just physically cannot. this is the second semester out of four that i’ve failed completely. both times the biggest issue was mental health, because when im able to do my work im really good, so it’s not totally like im just not doing it. because im trying! i really am!

i cannot get myself to lock in. i can’t articulate my words well enough

feeling like a HASHTAG FAILURE!!!!! i rlly want to drop out and find like a tafe course or something but i RLLY RLLY want to go into archiving!! and it’ll make my parents angry and disappointed AGAIN if i drop out of a second university degree!!!!

sad hat moment :(

Sephiroth's dream retail job is working in the back and lifting boxes where no body bothers him but he's stuck in the front because he's pretty

Lifting boxes would literally be no issue at all for him either. The man is freakishly strong and could probably do the work of ten people in a single hour.

But no. They shove him up front to greet everyone who enters, fake smile and everything. Women coo over him. Sticky little children climb all over him like a jungle gym. He has accidentally broken the register twice from squeezing the scanner too hard. Meanwhile they have been blasting the same 90's pop songs on repeat for four hours now. And all the while, the little wheels in his head are turning. It's about to be Nibelheim 2: Electric Boogaloo up in this building.

wish i could just. work at a bookstore

[grumpylia]

applying for jobs in this economy is crazy because every job application for the most generic place possible asks you "now, why do you want to work at target? why do you love target so much? why do you desperately want to work in our store specifically?" and you can't just say "because i need a job" so you're desperately bullshitting like "i just adore target because i think the store values are so perfect and i grew up with clothes and food and furniture and target sells all those things and—"

retail therapy 🩷🛍️

[space-kittie]

I'm probably noticing it more after being gone from work for a few weeks, but it's shocking how many customers seem to be trying to beat the kindness out of retail staff, simply by not acknowledging it, or glaring at you if you're just being polite.

And then, of course, the same customers are uppity if they don't get what they want.

Anyway. Friendly reminder that service staff of any kind is more likely to go above and beyond for you, if you show some basic decency to them, instead of treating them like the dirt under your shoes.

Yes, that includes ordering things for you or finding out where you can get them instead or even, in rare cases, a small discount if you shop for a high price or are a few cents short.

However. If you choose to be a dick to people who have no fault in you being miserable, you can rest assured we're doing nothing but the bare minimum for you. And you can't even get us in trouble for that, because that bare minimum includes everything we have to do. No more. No less.
