Full disclosure, I worked at a head shop for about 2 years. Yes, we sold pipes and bongs. No, we didn't sell drugs. Yes...*sigh* we sell sex toys. No, you cannot take the sex toys out of the box. Yes....that's a taser.....NO, I will not use the taser on your buddy to "Prove it works." No, we don't have that powder you mix with the other powder to double your profit....no, my boss isn't here so you can talk to him......no, I won't call him....fine, you call him......*sigh* Yes Raj? *sigh* Fine. Here's your powder. You want the little baggies to go with that?

I picked up a lot of kitsch that is still around my house: posters, wall hangings, knives and other assorted weapons, throwing stars, all that great stuff, that I still have today. But I don't think any job has ever made me feel that dirty.

That cat has something on the mind.  Maybe it isn't fixed?

Now I have the mental image of that cat strutting back and forth outside the window singing a certain Elvis song.

I'm totally psyching myself up to adopt one soon. 

That's great, good luck!

that powder you mix with the other powder to double your profit...

Wait, what powder? I think I've been missing out

Adulterating the illegal drugs you sell, clearly.

[Putnam]

Aspirin in the cocaine.

Basically they sell everything. Like, everything everything.

So I watched Going Clear, the Scientology HBO Documentary.

All other the other stuff about Scientology aside....

Who the fuck in their right mind would become enthralled by a man who looks like Baron Harkonnen and Samwise Gamgee had a baby? Seriously, the dude was repulsive, right down his rotting lower front teeth.

Hubbard was known as a con among his "friends" too. He also supposedly met Aleister Crowley, whom Hubbard supposedly tried to con, too. He conceived Scientology as a scam to gain money and confessed it to Harlan Ellison and a few others too.

[nenjin]

In that regard, he was a success. Still, a grosser cult leader I have not yet seen.

And they all think it was an accident... just as planned...

Seriously though, is the bear okay?

Dropbears are invading. Hide your cupcakes, hide your cookies, the dropbears are coming!

Almost walked out on my job today. Every few minutes, the supervisor is calling for me in her whiny voice, to deal with something she seems to lack the brain capacity to do so. This morning, I had to deliver something to a room that, while I found it easily, even the manager(who is a teacher there as well) couldn't tell me where to find it. Half the time, my supervisor cannot even give clear instructions, making more work when I have to reverse what I do. Yesterday, that almost caused me to break a finger.

I honestly don't know how they can function like that, I really don't, but I am sick of them taking me for granted like that. Especially since I should have brought multiple lawsuits against them for the way I've been treated.

Dude my great-uncle was killed by a dropbear. They would not go for the cupcakes.

Yeah, if it stopped to eat the cupcakes and not maul the humans it would blame for injuring it, then it probably didn't break any toes. (No, bears dont usually go nuts on you for nothing. Its a joke)

Probably shot it, though. Can't have bears that expect to receive cupcakes for breaking and entering. (Or relocated it to the middle of nowhere)
