Previously, there was only one reason why I didn't want an H&M store in Toronto; that I don't want every damn person I see to be wearing the same clothes as me.
After today, I have thought up a second reason:
When H&M was only in Europe/New York, trips to the store were a treat and therefore the clothing I bought was either a) a gift from other people (aka free) or b) saved up for in advance of a major shopping spree.
Now that there is a store in Toronto, I can go to it any time I choose and be seduced by the awesome clothes at dirt cheap prices. "Check out this skirt for only $6.99!" I say "And these earrings are only $1.50 each!" And then all of a sudden you're at the check-out counter and they're asking you for $60 and you're like, what the fuck, I am going to be so broke so soon if I don't start shopping at more expensive stores.
I think the people I work with believe me to have a mental disability. Like I have been hired as a charity case.
They keep giving me ridiculous projects to do. Like they will send me a letter with an envelope paper-clipped to it, and on the envelope there is a post-it note which reads "Please address this envelope to 'Mr. Smith, 123 Street, Toronto, M4M 4M4'". Why don't they just write the address on the envelope themselves?? Really, it would take less time.
Things like this happen frequently.
Like today, I got an assignment from my boss..
I was asked to make a table with 5 different headings. Like just open word, select "insert table" with 5 columns and 20 rows, then type in 5 words at the top of each column. So, I get a cup of coffee, go outside, drink it, stare at the sky for awhile, then make the frigging table, stare at it for awhile thinking "Ok, there must be something else they wanted me to do with this, because they sent me a piece of paper with all the headings I needed to type out written on it and stuff, so it would have been easier for them to make it themselves! There must be something I need to look up... Am I supposed to fill in the table?" After 5 minutes of pondering, I bring the blank table to my boss and she goes "Wow! are you done already?? Great!"
After much thought, these are the TV show characters that you all are. "All" means the people on my LJ friends list whom I thought would care. If you're not on here and want to be, then tell me so. Plus also, give me suggestions for Vivienne, Jes and Heidi, for whom I have no idea.
Eug -- Lisa Simpson (or Jessie from Saved by the Bell)
Nuria -- Elaine (as mentioned previously)
Sonia -- Raven from That's So Raven
Steph -- Felicity from Road to Avonlea
Tanya -- Grace from Will & Grace
Val -- Angela from My So Called Life
Please also give me ideas of new shit to update my website with.
you know what I hate?...
...stupid bandage commercials that show gross close-ups of wounds. One can be happily watching TV and suddenly, BAM, a huge gross cut flashes across the screen. That one for Band-Aid liquid bandage is the worst. You don't even get any warning, like a mother leaning down with her silver-ionized bandage to put on her son's knee, it's just BAM! Huge cut on foot!!!!
disguisting.
