Whatever.
Remember Neopets? I sure do. When I was in Middle School. I’m sure Dan remembers when I first signed up to that site and talked about it offhandedly the next day. I played it for a couple months on and off. Then I checked back on the pet every other month for about a year. Then I got sick of it. I played it for a day when they finally got a battle system in. Realized it was still the piece of crap it had been. Eventually I figured it’d wither away and die, forever and ever.
But hey, I also thought that of Myspace when I first signed up for a year ago. Unfortunately, however, that furry’s wetdream that Neopets is (though not quite as bad as Furcadia) didn’t die. As a matter of fact. It flourished. There is a magazine. A trading card game. And now…?
WHY
PS: this is awkward.
I’m not even sure I’m going to make this a full post.
I’m watching this “Deal or No Deal” crap. It’s driving me nuts. Currently there’s some black broad flapping her mouth and doing everything she can to be a stereotypical black woman. Thanks girlfriend, you darkened my day.
I swear that’s a cloud joke and not a black joke.
It’s incredible how horrible it is. It’s like watching some bad reality TV mixed in with a bald host who tries to be cool and fails miserably. What happened to the days when gameshow hosts were these old guys who actually had a real sense of humor, instead of this scripted bullshit. I guess I’m hoping for way too much out of today’s TV shows.
Hell gameshows aren’t the only ones suffering, regular TV sucks these days too. Shows like “Bones”, “The Apprentice”… and well I can’t think of any more, are complete proof that TV is tailed to a much, much dumber audience than even ten years ago.
On an unrelated topic, I have a question. Why can’t I come home after having a great day to an uneventful evening? Why uneventful? Because eventful evenings always turn out bad.
Just asking.
This is something that has baffled me for so long that it’s really starting to piss me off.
Why are people so insistent on buying used equipment? I get asked every day “do you have used laptops?” “Do you have used memory?” “Do you have used LCD flatpanel monitors that are under cost?”
Fuck you. Fuck all of you. Fuck you and your mothers and the rest of your cheapass family. I wish I could wipe all of you off the face of the planet for bargaining every last bit out of a small business. “What’s my discount?” Your discount is a slap in the face and a foot up your ass. I hope it was worth it.
What bothers me is how incredibly cheap the people of this town, this state, this country seems to be. Nobody’s satisfied with the price of things. Nobody can accept that the price list is the FINAL price, it’s not going to be adjusted because you’re buying a bunch of shit. Why would I want to lose money because you’re buying more stuff? Guess what, I’m done with it.
Since I now have the authority to call the shots at my store, I’m done dealing with it. The only discounts I hand out are to people who have purchased more than $10,000 of merchandise, or I personally like you. Otherwise, fuck you. I’m done. I’ve had it and I’m done.
In fact, it’s continuing now. Every 5 minutes I’m asked if I can adjust pricing for them, because every customer that walks through the door is instantly special. No, not really. This store isn’t about the customers, it’s about our survival. We all work here to keep this company afloat so we can afford our daily lives. We don’t need people who do nothing but beg for a discount, might as well ask them to leave. Will it earn us a bad reuptation? Possibly, but whatever.
Get bent.
