item! You just gotta love technology! (1) I had a huge paper and power point presentation all prepared for school and poof! (2) they both decide to mysteriously decide to disappear off my memory stick (3) just days before both projects were due to be turned in and my sorry ass had to spend what little free time I had this past weekend trying to reconstruct them from my faultier biological-based memory. What a mess!
item! Having a job that makes you deal with the general public will turn you into an evil asshole republican in no time.
item! Here’s a shining example of why: A customer walked into the store I work at the other day and complained that for whatever reason, that we were out of stock of dry erase board markers and that she had been into my store 5 or 6 times over the past day or so (!) only to find the slot in the stationary department where the dry erase markers are located emptier than the pockets of a recently mugged homeless person.
I mean I don’t know what is so special about the $1.50 dry erase markers that are sold in the store I work at, but after the 2nd (4) to find them at my store, you would think that this woman would’ve gotten the hint to, I don’t know, go to look at some other store where she could get the exact same dry erase board marker for a buck! But no, this woman, who looked semi-well off, had probably already wasted 4 or 5 dollars worth of gas looking for a product at my store that costs 50 cents more there than it would at other stores.
And she still had the nerve to get shitty with me! (5) It’s unbelievable just how fucking retarded people are these days…
item!Another thing the irks me is when someone buys nothing but junk food with food stamps (6) and they A: drive a MercedesBenz and flash a thick roll of 50 dollar bills around (7) just asking to get their asses mugged.
B: They balk over the price of an item ( “50 cents for a two pack of cupcakes!?! Give it to me for half off.”) at the register. Now I know people have a limited budget with food stamps that has to last them through the month, but come on, it’s not like it was ever their hard earned money in the first place.
C: It’s an able bodied male using the foodstamps. This same able bodied male who also runs his mouth claiming that he’s too lazy (8) to get a job.
Seriously, if the government ever wants to make cuts to the budget, a good place to start is food stamps reform. If they implement strict WIC style nutritional requirements (9) and quarterly drug testing, the program would be cut in half instantaneously. But I doubt the junk food lobby would allow such forms to go through though. But it’s something to think about.

1. No, not really.
2. I don’t mean the British insult for homosexual either, though the term can apply as a school yard-style insult in this scenario.
3. The usually reliable Memorex Traveldrive 512mb that I bought off my roommate for 10 bucks one last year because his non-working ass wanted some cigarette money.
4. Or maybe even the 3rd attempt.
5. Not to mention still empty handed.
6. It wouldn’t be a called a stereotype if it wasn’t true.
7. ibid.
8. Or my favorite, he’s “too good” to get a job. But yet, he looks and smells like he sleeps in the sewer.
9. For health reasons, of course. I mean drinking all that soda and eating nothing but Little Debbie snack cakes all day long will lead to type 2 diabetes. And let’s face it: no matter how you spin it, weighing 500 pounds and missing a foot will never look “thug.” I see Tupac spinning in his grave right now at that very notion.
