i should thank em for tagging me for the '7 random things', but i honestly don't know if i can do 7 things about myself. ah well, here goes:
THE RULES:
1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post THE RULES on your blog.
3. Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 people and link to them.
5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.
1. i cannot draw to save my life. i honestly can't. i even mess up stick figures. however, i can do mandalas. (links to my done mandalas to be provided later, since the add pic feature does not like me right now.)
2. i am a fast reader. i don't speed read, i just go through books quickly. an example: it took me about 4 hours to go through potter book 7. no lie, started at 12:30, finished it at around 4:30.
3. i have a weird memory. i can easily remember and recall small, trivial things, but for the life of me can't remember big things.
4. my favorite episode of m*a*s*h, the last one. the one that makes me cry, every time, the one where henry dies.
5. i have a black thumb. i kill just about every plant i bring into my room. (except for one, and that one hung on just to spite me)
6. i love rpgs. most, if not all, of my games are rpgs. guild wars, world of warcraft, golden sun, castlevania, etc.....you get the idea.
7. i procrastinate. frequently. an example is this post. i started it yesterday afternoon around this time, i am finishing it today.....

people=idiots (well, most people)
never, ever work in retail. unless you have to. you learn PDQ that most people are not as bright as you'd think. i learned this the hard way. most of the examples below are taken from my experience, so it may seem more like a rant.
example one: we have a bell on the counter we use when the cashier is out on the floor. it's generally set up right in plain view with a sign that says 'please ring for cashier.' do they ring it? of course not, the customers stand there looking around and grumbling.
example two: i'm ringing people through, when another customer comes up and stands off to the side for a moment. when the line clears, they come over and ask if i'm the register. they watch me ring people up, then ask...makes me want to swat them.
example three: people often try to use coupons for items other than what the coupon is for. then they get huffy when you say you can't use it.
example four: we have tags up that compare a namebrand item to our version. most people think the tag says the namebrands on sale, when all it does is list both items prices.
....and that's just in my area. i'm sure this happens in stores all over. so please, for the sake of the people who work in retail, take the time to read the signs.
