(parts got wildly censored by evil staff. send your complains to the admins!)
Anyway, I'm quitting work tomorrow. I was gonna hold out for another week or so, but I really can't take customers anymore. Every last one of those loathsome creatures (OK, maybe not all of 'em. Some of 'em are actually pretty nice...but the vast majority...), can go burn in hell. "Oh, I charged you 0.00 for a magazine that we ran out of that I'm required to scan anyway, lest I listen to my RSD bitch and moan for an hour? Sorry! Let me just undo that. Your total's the same, asswipe."
I was supposed to quit three weeks ago. My manager kept asking me to stay, and as a favor to him, being indebted to him for hiring me a year ago, I obliged. Many times. Not to mention the many hours that I've left him clocked in while he was gone. Not to mention the duties of his that I've done, the hours I've worked unpaid, the disgruntled customers I've had to deal with because he, for some inexplicable reason, can't give correct information about refunds or products to the customers. I've paid my dues, in my opinion. I owe him nothing anymore, and he's known for a long time that I've been wanting to quit.
Away from that, I've been reading (and completed) this really amazing book, The Stories of Ibis. While I certainly don't agree with much of the overlying messages, it's definitely a unique perspective in what a man is. What our responsibilities are. What separates one life-form from another, and what life really is. I don't mean to give anything away, so with brevity I'll describe what the book is about. In a seemingly not-so-bright future, man-kind has dwindled to around 25-million globally, across scattered camps, while robots rule in large areas, seemingly non-violently. A storyteller is captured by one of the robots and is "forced" to listen to the stories that one robot, Ibis, has to tell, all being complete fiction at the storyteller's request, not wanting to be subject to "robot propaganda". It's roughly 420 pages, and is definitely monkat-approved.
Been replaying Persona 3 Portable, grinding a lot more this time, because last time I just kept getting my ass handed to me for seemingly no reason. Now, I feel completely overleveled. Still a good game over-all, though. Much better than "3rd Birthday", that piece of crap. I can't progress in the game because I need to wait for a body to transfer into, but he doesn't appear until I'm dead. Fantastic.
Sooo.....
