Tell him that when you answer his calls, if he's aggravated, you'll politely say, "sorry, wrong number" with a smile and hang up. Usually you can tell when a person is aggravated based on their greeting.

The bottom line is that it's not worth losing your job over. Especially in this economy.

I think, to some degree, that an... agressive... instinct exists in all humans. It started out as a survival mechanism, after all. But for most of us it's buried deep within and is only a problem when seriously triggered.

Actually, wanting to be restrained is not all that uncommon. I don't have an obsession with it, but my bf and I tried it a couple of times. He tied my arms and legs with ribbons :P

I think it has an appeal because even if you lose the battle against your restraints, you still... well, win.

I'm glad! That's what I'm here for :D

Trust me--everyone has to go through the crap jobs before they're able to kick off their actual career. But it's perserverance that seperates the deadbeats from people who are actually able to support themselves. So stick with it!

I worked in a grocery store for several years, so yeah, i know what it's like dealing with all sorts of customers (Everyone needs food, right? Even the assholes). And these people weren't just snobby--some of them were downright vicious. Like there was this one guy (we shall call him Bag Man) who, as soon as he would come into your line, would shoo away your bagger (which sucks when you've got seven people in your line, and you want to keep your bagger to expedite the process), do it himself, brag about how fast he bags, loudly talk about his "liberal arts education" and find as many things as he could to belittle the cashiers about.

For instance, when he went through my friend's line, he asked if he was going to Irish Fest that coming weekend. The cashier said, "No, I would, but I have to work." And Bag Man said, "Oh. You come from one of those poooor families, doooon't you." Seriously. He said that.

There was this other time when he came through my line, and I had tendonitis in my wrist, so I was wearing a brace. I could tell he was just winding up for some smartass remark, because I had dealt with him several times in the past--so I was prepared for him saying something. He looked at me and said, "Soooooo. What did you do to your wrist, hmmm?" So I looked up at the bastard and said, "I broke the jaw of a customer who was disrespecting me." He didn't say a thing.

I don't normally condone violence, but I felt reeeeeally good for the rest of the day. :D


Sorry for rambling, but I guess my point is just to stick it out. And let a customer have it every now and then, if they deserve it. ;D

I lived in canada for a few months :D

There are some changes that need to be made and made quickly, that's for sure. But nothing is going to stop unless every single citizen starts doing their part... and most people choose to be unreceptive to the message.


Maybe we should move to Canada?

Ok, there's actually a biological explanation for all of this.

Everyone has a rhythm called a "circadian rhythm". It dictates when person gets tired and when they wake up, and when it's normal, it's in-sync with the sun.

There's a part of your brain that produces a substance called melatonin. Melatonin makes you sleepy. Melatonin is produced when ultraviolet light is no longer present, and humans feel best when it increases/decreases its production gradually (like, say, with sunrise and sunset. Biologically, we're not supposed to need alarm clocks.) Basically, it's your brain's way of telling you to be tired when it's dark out.

Because you're staying up looking at a bright computer screen, your brain isn't producing melatonin in the cycle and amounts it should. You feel physically exhausted, as you should, but you're not allowing your brain to secrete the substance that makes you sleep.

It'll take a few days to get your cycle back on track. I would start by simply shutting off the computer at an earlier time each day, and laying down. before long, you'll start feeling naturally tired when you should. And when that happens, you'll be awake during the day, you'll get more vitamin D, and you'll find your sleep to be more restful, since it's at night. You'll feel better all around.

say the word "olive" slowly. it worked for me.
  • 6/27/2009 5:07:00 PM
I HATE IT when mom's treat their kids that way! It makes me SO pissed! I hope she finally wakes up and realizes what she's doing to you!
  • 6/25/2009 4:03:00 PM
Oh dear. Keep your hopes up! Life won't always be this way.

Your father and grandfather sound really strict... If I were you, I wouldn't take the things they say too seriously. It'll only make you feel worse.

Hoping the best for you!

Whatever you do, don't harm yourself. The right guy will meet you eventually, and when he does, those feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy will be just a vague memory. I promise.
  • 6/24/2009 8:39:00 PM
Hmmm. My fears... spiders, drowning, and being enclosed in a space I can't get out of. So I guess that includes flying. :/

  • 6/24/2009 8:41:00 PM
eek. I don't know what to say other than that I'm really sorry. I hope you can catch a break :(
  • 6/24/2009 6:46:00 PM

I had to glance at this twice because My name is Maddie and I was like, "wait, what?? lol

And I wear white nail polish hahaha

It's all relative! Einstein explained his theory of relativity like this:

"When a man sits next to a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it'll be longer than all eternity. That's relativity."

if you're waiting for something good to happen, it''ll take forever! lol
  • 6/24/2009 7:04:00 PM
Try posting this in the comments section of the post "I'M 16 AND WANT A BABY." lol


Ummm... is it pulling on it's ears? that's a sign of ear infection. Or it could have gas.


Hope this helps.
  • 6/24/2009 4:15:00 PM
Or you could just try holding him and walking with him to try to soothe him...
  • 6/24/2009 4:18:00 PM
I wouldn't touch those things if I were you, Joey. I'm not a really superstitious person, but I believe there are things in this world that we are not meant to understand or mess around with. I did once, and I immediately regretted it. Things happened to me while using it, and afterwards, that I'd rather not discuss. The purpose of a Ouija board is open the door between the physical realm and the spiritual one. And when that door is open, you aren't always prepared for what comes through.

Some of you probably believe it's fake, as I did for most of my life. But now, I sincerely believe there is danger there. I'm wholeheartedly warning you against it, Joey.
