HI. I've been absent because I've been feverishly working on a truly awful manuscript that's been sucking away all of my time when I'm not at working at Starbucks. Lord. It was bad enough that it was so awful, but the moron didn't even bother proofreading it himself before he sent it. I'm getting a pretty good cut of the money, though, so that's nice. Unfortunately, I just sent it last night, and already I have another 300+ page manuscript that looks like it might barely be a step up from the last one. THINK OF THE MONEY, SARAH. MONEY AND CONNECTIONS.

I've also been asked yet again by my manager about considering the promotion to assistant manager or store manager. AND being told by a few other people I know that I should just take the promotion. I'm still really balking at it. The only pros I can think of would be: the money (my W-2 says I still haven't broke 20k a year yet HA HA THANKS BUX) and how great it would look on my resume. It's just... not that this is brand new information, but customer service is so emotionally/physically/mentally draining. As a lot of my coworkers and I say, you really have to drink the koolaid in order to climb the corporate ladder. And there is no way I would become a store manager in this area. The district manager is a horrible human being, even more evidenced by some things my manager told me when I got mildly tipsy with her last week at a bar, lulz. It would be really nice to fall back on, but right now, I wanna focus on a career, you know, the thing I got my college degree for.

On a long list of things I will never be over is the inclusion of Jensen being a daddy because oh my god tiny baby and jensen I CAN'T. Between him and Danneel, the kid is going to be the most beautiful smartass in the world. ;______;

Still impatiently waiting for Cards Against Humanity to be restocked so I can BUY IT ALREADY because I'm too lazy to make my own set and I want the BOX and stuff. Their website says they'll be restocked before the end of January, but the 29th is almost over, so they better hurry it up. TINY HORSE.

For reals. Not even mentioning the kid's playdates with Thomas, West, and Maison. AHHHH.

The website is the best explanation. We played it at Wincon this past year and we were in TEARS because we were laughing so hard.

Amen to both those sentences. I just couldn't deal with the monumental amount of daily bullshit that a retail/food service place has to deal with. UGH.

It's so so awful. I actually go into a rage and force myself to not write passive aggressive comments. I would understand if the authors didn't quite grasp English grammar, but it's mostly just laziness. GAH.

Is it bad that I'm dying for them to have a girl? It would quite possibly be the end of me.

I'll be over here, cheerleading you through the horrible manuscripts as well as I can from the other side of the ocean. *\o/*

And I get why you'd shy away from taking that position, especially if you know your would-be superior is an ass. :-/
