In that case, you implode into a black hole.

Also, IT'S NEARLY 4AM, WHY AM I AWAKE AND WHY HAS MY BODY-CLOCK ADJUSTED SO THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR ME RIGHT NOW WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!

Then you'd only notice the last one ... briefly!

Perhaps I should explain to our overseas friends: in your countries its typically illegal for the pharmeceutical companies to advertise to the public. Herr in America, that is decidedly not the case. That is a parody of a typical commercial; or advert, here. Usually the side effects of the treatment are worse than the condition itself.

Yes, do you ever sneeze, ruining your enjoyment of the beautiful outdoors? Ask your doctor if Plomox is right for you!

(pay no attention to the list of deadly and serious side effects scanning past your eyes so rapidly that not even your subconscious can grasp it; instead look at this beautiful woman rolling in the grassy field without sneezing!).

I like this one, I shamelessly stole most of it!

Just getting to sit down after an eventful day at ThatSkyrimHousehold...ThatSkyrimWife was not feeling well last night, and felt worse this morning, but she went to work anyway. She called me at work two hours later asking that I leave work to take her to the doctor. 10 hours later, she is resting comfortably at Shelby Baptist minus her gall bladder. The surgery went fine and all is well, but man-o-man am I bushed!

Whoa! Poor thing! (Both of you)

I hope she recovers good.

OOOoooohhhhh. Gall Bladder...painful.

Glad she's okay, rest well ThatSkyrimGuy.

A hearty "Get well soon" to Skyrimwife... ...That could have been a better day for her... ...

I'm so sorry to hear that, she must have been in terrible pain! My best wishes for her to have a speedy recovery, I hope she feels well soon.

Hallo everyone! Just a quick check in to say that I've been so busy recently, but I should be posting some Lissa today, and hopefully once every few says from then.

Hope everybody is okay

Glad to see you back.

I understand being busy, it is difficult for me to get on sometimes for days at a time.

Skyguy, glad Skygirl is doing okay! That must have been scarry!

Rihanae, good to hear from you!

Eek! Our computers are updating. Which means price verification, exf, research, and planogram ties/drops can't be done.

That's 97% of my job. I have to do everything by hand until they get back up.

Damn Liz! That's gotta be annoying




And SkyrimGuy, I'm glad your wife is alright. That's must've been a scare!

I will be totally fine, lol. I made less mistakes yesterday., which makes me feel better. But they cut my team's hours. SoIO have a three day weekend starting tomorrow.

Three day weekend?

Watcha gonna do on your weekend. Bet you're excited to sleep in late


Anyway, why'd they cut your team's hours? Because the updates?

Each Target store has to donate "hours" to charity, meaning they use the money that would have went towards paying us and sending it to charity.

Our S.M. decided that the usual 10-15 hours wasn't enough, so he cut 60 hours. I'm losing 8.

Wow. That's a lot of hours cut...

The companies always find ways to screw you

I feel for you, Liz

Yikes, SkyrimGuy! Best wishes to SkyrimWife. I’m sure she won’t miss that gall bladder. Hope she has a boring recovery and that you’ve gotten some rest.


Rihanae, nice to see you back!

Psssht. Then they turn around and claim that donation for a tax cut and get the money back at the end of the year. That's some shady stuff right there. Straight up stealimg from their own workers. I know you're just barely getting back on your feet, so I hesistate to suggest it, but if our roles were reveresed and that is indeed the case I'd be talking to a lawyer.

These companies sicken me sometimes. They provide a bare mnimum to begin with, and then mask their greed with pretty words am insult your intellogence.

If the store took from its own profit margin, that´d be ok I guess. But not when they do like this and, like you said, basically steal from their own workers!

I have a kid to feed. This can't keep happening.

If I can open my own shop up, I might be able to do more than just scrape by.

Let me ask that the extended analysis of working at Target continue on the Everything Thread since it is already being somewhat duplicated there. That way, those who pop into the Coffee Shoppe will be more easily able to get quick updates on what folks are doing. Would hate to have another gall bladder operation missed among so many posts. Thanks so much for the cooperation!

WOO HOO! Rihanae! So glad to see you back!

My typical schedule here in Korea has been something like this:
11pm-1am: Training
1am-2.30am: Shower, eat, chat and so forth
2.30am: Sleep
11:45am: Get up and get dress
12am-2pm: Training
2pm-11pm: Do whatever you want to do

Once I get to Australia I'm probably going to be going for a sane schedule for my sleep patterns. And I can just tell that my body clock is going to greet those plans with; 'Fat chance of that, sonny.'

Is that UK time or Korea time?...And...Most importantly...Are you watching MTV Korea to see all the K-Pop totty?...Watch out for Girls Generation...They're pwetty!!...

Good luck with it all...

You are envied... ...Wish I'd been able to do that at your age... ...

It's in Korea time, if that makes any difference. Though I've been avoiding K-Pop, as while Girls Generation may be pretty, K-Pop generally makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry.

Aaaaanywhoo, I'm now in Seoul Incheon Airport looking for my flight to Australia. As is my typical style, I've arrived way, way earlier than I need to and check-in doesn't open for about another hour or so (my grandfather does exactly the same sort of thing, and I am very much my grandfather's grandson) so I'm just killing time at the moment by looking up placing in Sydney where I might be able to find an RPG session or two. I think I'm probably an oddity among most 19-year-olds when my first instinct on arriving in Australia, a country famed for its drinking and partying, is to look up somewhere to play RPGs and plan a trip to see an opera at its world famous opera house because I want to see an opera there of my own volition.

Christ, I am weird.

No, you're super cool!

Yeah! I'm cool! I'm dead cool. I'm super...duper...

Cool...

*Cries into drink*

Awwwww, need some cuddles? XD

So there's been some people stealing cars and committing crimes in the stolen vehicles here...

Yes

C'mere

*runs to Liz*

You mean where you live? Better take the battery out of your car at night then, Kobby.

They can only steal it if you leave your keys in the car. That's what worries me more.

Good Morning! I have my coffee here as I try to psych myself up for a day of cutting grass and dodging thunderstorms...yippee!

They can load it up on a truck as well and just take it with them. But then you´re dealing with professionals, I suspect the ones you talk about are not so "professional"

Skyguy, coffee here as well, having just completed a dawn road run. Good morning and good luck dancing mowing between the tears of Kyne!

No. The only reason they are stealing cars is because they are committing other crimes in the stolen vehicles, then they abandon the vehicle, and the owner of the vehicle may be framed for said crime instead of the car thief.

But..... that´s just mean!

I hope you have your car electrified!!

Well, criminals aren't very nice so...




Oh, they don't want my car. It's like trynna steal an empty garbage can, lol

mirocu, thanks to you and KoB for noticing that the car thievery discussion was getting kind of extended, and wisely transitioning it over to the Everything thread.

The internship is done with and I move back home tomorrow.

KC, I'm so pleased you spent the summer interning with an outfit that works in your desired field. I'm sure you learned a lot and hopefully made some lasting contacts. And so it's back to school in a matter of weeks for you!

Thanks! And make that days instead of weeks. New semester is next Monday.
