Behold! The Lord of the Penguins!
(Yahoo story here: [link] .)
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm in the call center for Nintendo of America.
"Dude! Level 6 is kicking my ass!"
Has to be better than "My children's Christmas is ruined because of you! My mother sent those packages ground shipping on December 20th from Hawaii, they should have gotten to Maine by Christmas Eve!"

Thank every god ever worshipped I'm not a game play counsellor. :)
But I did get my fair share of "You ruined Christmas!" on Dec 26 (we're closed on the 25th itself). Morning-after the gift is given, didn't work/can't be hooked up...yeah.
That was a 4am start, split-shift 10 hours, worked until 11pm.
Fortunately, only happens 3 times a year (Dec 26 and 27, Jan 2).
And now - NO MORE PHONES. Just little me and a computer, answering about 100 emails/day with my music blaring. Yummy.

My car is a paperweight.
Frustration doesn't even remotely begin to cover it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sweetie, what happened?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, Sean, that sucks.

The clutch won't engage, or the transmission is shot, or something. I rolled down Highland until I rolled to a stop on Franklin, and sat there trying to push it off the road, not getting it to move much, and screaming in rage and frustration, until two very nice men stopped and helped me push it off the street.
Unfortunately, it's on a permit street that's not my permit, and I already have a bunch of unpaid tickets, so it's very quickly going to get booted and towed, because I have absolutley no money, because my temp assignments keep letting me go with no warning, and I already needed about $2,000 in the next two weeks for rent, and very overdue bills, and taxes, and I'm so far beyond fucked, with absolutely no way of getting any money at all.
I just want to fucking smash fucking everything.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, fuck, Sean. I've been right about exactly there, and you have all the sympathy in the world.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oh, shit, Sean. That is just the worst.
