This updates for you

Well, I've gotten numerous requests from a few (two) people to update. I hate to disappoint, so here goes.

Life has been going alright. I'm on the tailend of a five day vacation from work. Boy did I ever need that. Being home these past five days has made me realize how much I really hate my job. I hate that place so much, it's not even funny. Well, I'll try to make it funny, but that's for later on in the update.

I've recently started seeing a therapist. I've went three times so far, with a fourth time lined up for the 23rd. The therapist thinks I have anxiety and she wants me to see a doctor about possibly taking some medication. I've had this anxiety problem for quite some time now and I really hope the medication helps me get it under control. The therapist also thinks that I am obsessive complusive, which I can also see. I'm not sure how we're going to work on that, but like I said, I've only went three times so far. I'm sure we'll work out a plan to get that under control as well. At least I hope so.

Anyways, enough about that. I would now like to take the time to voice a compliant I have with my work.

Suggestive selling. At my work, they want me to start doing suggestive selling. If you don't know what suggestive selling is, let me give you an example. As you may or may not know, I work at 7-11. And at 7-11, you get a deal if you buy two hot dogs. If the person buys one hot dog, they want me to suggest to the person to buy the another hot dog because they get a deal. Now, for one, the person gets a whole 20 cents off, so it isn't really a deal. But nonetheless, it's still a deal. For two, that isn't my idea of suggestive selling. Here's how I would do it. Hey fat ass. Yeah, you with the beer belly. Why don't you lay off the hot dogs and take a trip down the health bar isle there. Yeah, it's the fifth isle down, health bars will be on your right. And you with your fat hand on the jelly filled donut. Why don't you move your hand up a few shelves and have yourself a bagel. And you down the candy isle. Yeah, the person who is 150 pounds overweight and can barely walk from their car into the store without breathing hard. Why don't you go and take your lard ass to the gym and get yourself on the treadmill. Now that's what I call suggestive selling. I know I'm sounding awfully harsh here, but these things needed to be said.

Moving on. Tonight is a full moon. Some of you superstitious folk out there like to blame the full moon for all the bad things that have happened to you today. Some of you even go as far as to say that people act differently around the night of a full moon. Let me start off by saying this. I, for one, do not believe any of that crap. Here is how I see it.

You are having a bad day. It's your typical bad day, except there's a full moon out tonight. Any other bad day and you would think nothing of it. Or, at the very least, you'd attribute it to bad karma or some other crazy shit like that. People have a tendency to put two things together that have nothing to do with each other and then form what they think is a logical conclusion. I'm having a bad day today. Why am I having a bad day? Oh, it must be the full moon. If this happens enough times throughout your life, you begin to associate the full moon with bad days. And when you get it in your mind that you're going to have a bad day, you usually have a bad day. That's all I'm saying.

Oh, and on the front of people acting differently around the night of a full moon. I have a co-worker who claims that people act differently around the night of a full moon. She dreads working the night of a full moon because of it. In fact, she doesn't like to work the night before and the night after a full moon either. She claims that people act differently on those nights as well. My response to her is always the same. Why don't you go ahead and include the whole week of the full moon. I mean, if you're going to include the night before and the night after, go ahead and include the whole week. And while you're at it, why don't you go ahead and include the whole month. Again, this all goes back to people associating full moons with a few people acting strangely. Any other night, someone acts strange, you think nothing of it. But around the night of a full moon, someone acts strange, and it has got to be the full moon causing that person to act strange. Never mind the fact that you're actively looking for all the strangeness in people that day. No, it can't be that. It's got to be the full moon.

Okay, enough seriousness. My next post, which I am going to post tonight, is going to be a bit lighter. Stay tuned.
