Had my first assignment today, an in-class assignment (like a mini test, really...) for physics 140. oh. so. easy
done in like 15 minutes lol and i redid the entire thing just to make sure i didnt make any dumb mistakes like i did in the practice one on monday, and yeah im pretty confident on full marks
unlike the panicky first years who were sitting behind me going "omg whats a XNOR gate" (which was ironically in the test and really not that hard)
yay for easy papers! its good to ummmmmmm learn? maybe? lol.

===
LOL ok I was at work yesterday right, and this dude farted in my face lol
he was standing on one of those wheelie things to reach the upper shelves, and i was behind him doing some RPL (pulling books from shelves to be returned to distributor), and i turned round and he pulled the longest fart ever...needless to say it was a challenge not to throw up
and
and
LOL
this CRAZY as customer sent David (our GM) the most bizarre email in the world lol....basically it's supposed to be a complaint about the 10c bag charge, but the lady obviously has a couple of screws loose in her head, so its sort of like this long prose-poem thing which nobody can take seriously XD
she calls us peasants, and herself the "soon to be heir of King David"
lol! people....

two short reviews/musings
American Psycho (book)
There is only one thing I can say for certain about this book: it definitely deserves the R18 sticker on the front. Graphic, disturbing, violent, but still....it's just good. Though I don't really like the last chapter, it's a darkly comic literary masterpiece that well, if you're serious about books, you will read at least once. And probably feel sick. But yeah. You'll read it.
The Club (pc)
well, apparently it is supposed to be like burnout with guns. Which i can sort of see why, with the visual styling and the combo system, etc - but the control scheme is really unresponsive and strange - there is no consistency to the mouse sensitivity and the guns don't fire when you click but rather after about a .5 second pause, enough to annoy. There is also no storyline to speak of. Is it worth playing? Yes, but not for very long, and not if you had to pay for it.

A stupid old man tried to haggle in Borders today.
He brought a book up with $27.00 on the sticker and said "I dont think that's worth 27.00 i think that's worth 20. will you give it to me for 20?"
i was like "no"
he was like "ask your manager"
he said no.
he just wouldnt stop, i dont care mr, if you think the book is small and "oh i dont think this book is worth 27" if you dont think its worth that dont buy it! simple! DF!%!@% dont come up to the counter and expect me to sympathize with your viewpoint
also: a lady complemented my shirt lol. its just the green one i have. she was all like "hey, nice shirt, lovely shade of green"
lol!
and oh yeah the weather destroyed this morning's train, so the train wasn't leaving, so what the train company did was call for taxis for the passengers. So i got a $47.00 taxi ride from Britomart to Sylvia park, for free.
:D

Remember how a while ago, coke spilled from upstairs in Hoyts all over the most expensive section in the store? (art, photography, architech)
Well, today, Fanta syrup started leaking from the ceiling, and spilled onto the greeting cards.
And the managers came down from Hoyts etc etc and were like yeah ok cool
and then they left
and then another leak started

I am so sick of this plastic bag thing.
I had a lady come up to me with a plastic bag and return it, just like a book.
Yes. She walked up to the counter, handed me her receipt and said "I don't want to pay for this plastic bag, I didn't know I was charged for it".
At this point, I look around behind me to look at the extremely large sign that says "Plastic bags now cost 10c. Because they cost the environment a lot more". And also at the sign that is facing the lady, which is facing away from me, that says the same thing. And, also the one on the pillar. Yeah.
I gave her 10c.
If you are so fucking poor why are you buying stuff from Borders?
Just use your fucking Paperplus plastic bags or whatever, bring a trolley in, use our baskets, !@$*!@ just stop bitching about the 10c

You know how we are now charging 10c for plastic bags?
Apparently today, a lady bought about $100 worth of books, and then after she paid and everything asked for a bag and upon being told that they were now 10c, she proceeded to get all huffy and returned all $100 of her books.
Over 10c.
What a bitch.

Saw IV. Is good, and bad
the FBI agent (he is introduced early) is the worst actor in the world. Watch him in the interrogation rooms. Count how many times he flaps his arms. It's really frustrating.
some of the traps are really kool. i dont think anything has toppped the needle pit yet but there are some good ones in here.

Went scalloping today at Clarke's Beach. Very relaxing activity, and its really a weird feeling to look all around you and be surrounded by water; but be standing at the same time. Scalloping is like fishing with your feet...although mostly we caught boring lame starfish. I think we went home with about 6 scallops lol which equates to very little for two people, but it was still an enjoyable experience. Plenty of other people at it too, but I don't think they fared any better than we did.

Today, Borders wins.
First of all, a customer phones in and wants to return his book from Whitcoulls and come in to buy a copy from Borders, a specialer bigger hard back version.
Secondly, a lady comes in with a piece of paper from PaperPlus's computerised store search (try it by the way, its pretty good, much more user-friendly than our system imho) and wants to find it from us, cause PaperPlus doesn't have it.s
by the way.
Eat Pray Love. I said it was a good book, didn't I?
Well, now that OPRAH says it's a good book, it just starts flying off the shelves...
