I went to get a prescription filled and to pick up some lunch. Parking was hellish. What I can't stand is people waiting for parking spots. They just hold up traffic, and it's not like there are no other parking spots. And why were people strolling through the stores like they had nowhere to go? It was a total obstacle course navigating through merchandise and people. I was out of the office for an hour and a half!!!
In this time, I picked up a few things from a drugstore. Then I stopped at the mall to buy our group lottery tickets (the thing I hate most about my job, really) and to pick up a salad. I also took a bit of extra time and bought myself some clothes. I got a black stretchy deep v-neck t-shirt. Did I need it? No, but it was stretchy and had a deep v-neck!! I also got a white feminized white beater. I don't usually go for white tank tops just because of the nipple factor. But this one was pretty thick and had a built in bra. I also picked up a scarf...very multi-coloured and very me!! It's a happy scarf.
When I was at the drugstore paying for my bath gel at the cosmetics counter, a cashier came by and started talking to the sales clerk. I really can't stand when people in the service industry are working and start chit chatting about their personal lives, especially when they're working. I don't need to hear about your shifts and how sucky they are and how working sucks. Geez, go complain in your lunch room or whever you congregate away from customers. Or quit if you hate your job so much.
And another thing. One of the Marketing people asked me to look over the content of a brochure as a pair of fresh eyes. I pointed out everything that was poorly written English...you know, stuff about punctuation, modifiers, consistency, etc. She decided not to use most of my suggestions. :lol: I'm glad she didn't feel too possessive of her work. Sometimes people take it as a personal attack when it's their writing that needs improvement. There was one sentence in there with an "it" that was describing our product, but in the sentence the "it" was referring to our company. She decided not to use my suggested rewrite because "people will know what we're talking about."

I HATE bad grammar! Why ask someone to proof something if you're going to leave in mistakes???
