now, see, what's REALLY funny is when you get, say, 4 trader joe's employees together... you know, happy, bouncy, friendly, hippieish souls... and get them talking about how they feel about customers.
take my last post, multiple it by 4, add alcohol and a little extra pissiness from having to drink with the meatheads at the sports bar after work because it was %^&*%*^&% UFC...

yeah, they do suck. i was just trying to get some contact information that was left out in some paperwork. thank god they're not my main agent, just the listing agent that has a property. they stop trying to use scare tactics when you outright tell them that you will call your attorney and your attorney will give them a call.
I bought a new car today. I am still in serious shock.
And I will probably cry over the convertible being gone, at some point. Yes, actually cry. But my beloved soft-top was, frankly, a piece of shit. Time to move on.
So I got this:

Cute, ya? I'm pleased. Her name is Elizabeth. Maybe Betty, when I get to know her better.

i think everything deserves a name... i like to spice them up with titles though, such as madame susana or monsuer dave you know just to give it that out of the ordinary "what did you say?" kick
Valentine's Day... I'll be at work at Trader Joe's (the one in Saugus). Come visit!

i just saw this. probably a little late, eh?
Dear SG:
I think it is safe to say, based on my gut reactions to your We Miss You! email campaigns, that I feel, deeply, that SG is worth $30/year, but not $50.
Just a friendly observation. Tis nice to be back.

I was anon for a year and never got a deal! Maybe I was blacklisted for posting a link to a negative BUST article about SG in my last entry when I left?
Apparently some people thought I was a stuffy conservative for thinking the porno action was inappropriate. I love bigoted uber liberals.

hey! hi!! *hug*
The new work schedule is leaving me with a confounding amount of free time in the middle of the night. What does one do between getting home at 1AM and falling asleep at 3? I like the late-night shift, so I'm not terribly inclined to make any changes, but I need to find a hobby or something.

Come visit Trader Joe's this weekend and vote in the employee costume contest!
I was going to be Sarah Palin, but decided, instead, to be a kitty.
Gets more votes from the kids, ya know.

95% of my customers at Trader Joe's are moms, single women, or elderly couples. they're all awesome, but not eye candy (okay, every once in a while there's a girl hot enough to pique my interest, but rarely.)
today, one of the most beautiful hippie-but-clean-cut boys i have ever seen wandered through my line. and there was chemistry. serious tongue-tied chemistry.

My nephews were born! Huzzah!!!
Cole Gary, Cody Aaron, and Katie are all doing fine. The boys were two months early, but breathing on their own. HOORAY for modern medicine (and Albany Med, who have now helped in saving the lives of three members of my family.)
Yay!

congratulations auntie!
Hah hah. When I told my gay bff about flat-chested tomboy guy, his exact words were "So he wants to fuck men." I'm fine with people having preferences. I'm just sick of socially handicapped, awkward, unattractive boys thinking they are entitled to have whatever woman they want. What they do seem to want is a hipster waif that doesn't threaten their nonexistent masculinity. I'm a tad bitter, can you tell?
We should definitely get coffee! Are you frequently in the Boston/Cambridge area?
