Regardless, it sounds like you're a perfect fit for a porcupine suit. Why not get your butt outta Florida and head to New Hampshire? You've got nothing keeping you in the sunshine state, right? You're a libertarian chick, move to where all the libertarians are gonna be, and you're bound to find a guy you like better than a gold-tooth wearin' crackhead. I'm sure you could get a job in retail up there. They're always looking for good people in retail, because so many people in that business suck ass (no offense, I've been there too, and I know that good help that shows up sober and on time and can make accurate change without verbally abusing the customers is hard to find). I'm just sayin', you are one of the few people who actually likes the kind of weather they have, so you don't even have that it's too cold excuse!

I'm not really too keen (har) on New Hampshire.  As for my love life - I don't think it's in New Hampshire.  It's not here either though.  We'll see.   :lol:

As for Florida, I currently cannot afford a place to live on my own - let alone to pick up and incur moving expenses to another area of the country.  I will say that I have been most unhappy today as it was eighty-four degrees earlier, and I am hotter than an ice cube in Hell right now.

Hell, I'll trade you for free.  I couldn't sleep last night because I was so hot.  And then we finally turned on the air this afternoon and I took a nap for a few hours - still woke up miserable and hot.   :x

It's both.  Trust me.  I just don't like being hot.  At all.

Yeah, waking up sweating is miserable.  I'm going to try sleeping with socks on tonight, because it's just my feet that end up being cold when I sleep with no covers.

move to where all the libertarians are gonna be
:lol:


You mean the libertarians that live in a state full of statists that will implement an income tax soon?

The libertarians that live in a state that doesn't seem to have a problem putting people in jail over a moldy old couch?

The libertarians that make fun of other people for not doing the same dumb crap as them that gets them thrown in jail?

The libertarians that think a sign and a flag burn will change the world?

Fuck that.  Stay in Florida, moving to NH will only result in heartache when you realized you moved for the same shit you had in your previous state.

I take the 5 minutes to get it at wal-mart.  Then I have pancakes.  Then I have a drink.

Here's a mildly amusing tale from this evening...

So I spent about an hour re-merchandising a display case.  My store is a kiosk, and this means that I had about 85 pieces of product out on the counter, and four backstock boxes out.  So...basically about 140 pairs of Ray Bans.  I see some confused old lady come up behind me and plop her upper body on my counter.  She is behind me, but I saw her out of the corner of my eye in the mirror.  Anyway, since I think it's fucking retarded to come up behind someone and make no noise at all, I ignored her because I knew she just wanted to ask me a question.  So a few seconds later she yells "EXCUSE ME!" and begins to ask her question.  Something about some custom jewelry "stand" in the mall.  I told her I didn't know, but that there was a directory about fifty feet behind her, and that might help her find it.  I wasn't even rude this time, because I seriously had never heard of this place she was talking about.  So she gets a nasty tone with me and says "No no, it's not on there.  Places like this are not on there.  Only stores are".

Of course that got my blood a little hot...and I just looked at her and I'm like "Lady, the place you're talking about...is a store.  It's a business.  THIS is a store, and you'd better believe it's on the directory.  Check the legend.  By the way, the legend is the thing with all the funny shapes that tells you where things like kiosks, restrooms, and pay phones are.  Enjoy."

That's right...I even threw "enjoy!" in there.   :shock:

Should have shouted "RAD!" at her as she walked away in a huff.

You're right.  I'll remember that for next time.

Do you ever think that your kiosk's close proximity to the directory is causing all these people to ask you where everything is?
