God DAMN, did work piss me off today.  My coworker left an hour early, and I was left alone to close with some asshole screaming at me that I hadn't given him enough warning half an hour before the Computer Center closed.  For fuck's sake, could he not read?  Was it some sort of hidden secret that we close at 10 on Saturdays?  NO.  Jesus Christ, do you think a store is going to let you take an extra 15 minutes printing things out after they close just because they didn't tell you they were closing half an hour ago?  HOW MANY ANNOUNCEMENTS DO YOU NEED, FUCKTARD?

The worst part is, I BLOODY WELL DID ANNOUNCE IT.  I ANNOUNCED IT FOUR TIMES!  He was just too fucking STUPID to pay attention.  I was so fucking mad.  45 minute warning, 20 minute warning, 10 minute warning.  He had all three.  Plus, I waited even longer to tell him we were officially closed.

Fuckfuckcocksuckingfuckshitterdicksuckerwhorebag.  

This guy is a notorious asshole, too.  He's the one who closes the fucking blinds every time we tell him not to in the classrooms, and is generally a wankerjackofffuckwad to everyone.

DICKSUCKER WHOREBAG.

Sigh.  I absolutely hate closing alone.  Next time someone asks me if it's all right to abandon me at closing, I'm bloody well saying no.  Not only do I have to clean up shit from the day staff for an hour, I also have to deal with douchebags like this.

I'm all right now.  Yes.

Tonight, I'm going to sit down and play some goddamn Chrono Trigger and maybe some Secret of Mana and relax.  I shall lose myself in the pixels.  Ahhhhh.

There's a really interesting Ravelry thread going on about how plastic bags are being slowly outlawed or discouraged at shops around the world.  I think this is fantastic, and I'm really surprised I haven't heard more about it here in Washington.  Someone said they outlawed them in San Francisco - I haven't confirmed that yet, but man, if SF did it, why not Seattle?  I mean, are there seriously going to be people fighting for fucking plastic bags?

I have several crochet mesh market bag patterns sitting around that I haven't started yet, but I think I finally will this weekend after I get paid and can pick up some cheap cotton.  I have enough lying around to make maybe one bag, but that's it.  I want an extra one to leave in my purse all the time in case I make an impromptu visit to the store.

And seriously, are paper bags that bad?  We always used to get paper when I was a kid.  When did that stop?  Weird. 

Oooh, I think I'll make this one, maybe in Cotton-Ease. 

Some of these people in this thread, though, are such fucking whiners.  I've never heard so much outrage at the idea of *gasp* carrying a mesh or canvas bag with you in your purse that takes up about the same amount of space as a wallet or small paperback.  Maybe it's just because I'm used to carrying the large purse of DOOM all the time, but come on, people.  WHINERS.  Once in a while is fine.  All the time is not.

It's not that I think that plastic bags are Satan, necessarily.  I know that a lot of people get defensive about them because they use them as garbage bags and whathaveyou.  But there are other solutions out there - not everyone uses them.  Many, many people just throw them away.  Bad.

It's the little things.

In unrelated news, I played Princess Maker all night long and for the first time ever, my girl actually became a freaking princess.  Married the prince and everything.  I have no idea how that happened.  I was trying to get her to marry Cube, goddamnit.  I like the demon butler of cuteness.

There need to be more sim games like that one that aren't, you know, pornographic.  That would be fun.
