I didn't pass Calculus so I've got to take it again.

F my life. F it so hard right now.

*hugs* It took me two tries to get past Calculus I, so I know the feeling.

Headaches suck.
I am working on getting rid of them, but the very beginning of this new diet is going to continue to suck royally for a while. I can't take any painkillers (they can cause rebound if I take them too often, and I have, so I need to get them out of my system). I spent much of the afternoon/evening highly tempted to rip out my left eye because everything around it hurt absurdly.
I think it's mostly working my way through rebound and caffeine withdrawal at the moment, but it still hurts a LOT. (Which is why I yap at people who beep me on IRC--I don't mind the greeting but when the computer beeps at me it is effing PAINFULL.) My apologies to anyone I have snapped at (or will snap at as this goes on). Please don't take it personally, I get quite cranky when I'm in pain, and more so when there is diddly-squat I can do about the pain.
I am currently doped-up on muscle relaxants in an attempt to dull the pain. These also have the effect of making me rather lethargic and dulling the whole world. Archi and I agree that I'm functioning at roughly half-speed right now. This will get better, but right now it really sucks....

While trying to figure out why Amazon was giving me problems about the payment for my purchase, I found out it was because my purchase on Friday got charged to my card twice, thus leaving me with insufficient funds.

I so LOVE it when dad's girlfriend gets mad at me for no reason...
I just got home from walking Mozart for dad's sake (he's "drunk" because of his strong medicine), and I felt super dizzy when I was taking  of my jacket and such. Dad's girlfriend asks me to give Mozart a treat (Which no one except her thinks Mozart deserves for sinsw going on a walk) and I said no since I feel dizzy and pretty much would have passed out if I had been remaining standing for much longer
She started scolding me... She knows I have a fever! Is it hard to understand that people don't feel well when they're sick?! Dx I took the dog out even though I'm sick, isn't that enough?! D:

Dammit, I accidentally ordered the wrong Blood: The Last Vampire DVD. I got the crappy-ass live-action version instead of the awesome anime original.

It should be noted that sometimes it is your tone of voice that makes people upset. I know you don't mean it that way and that you felt bad this time. But sometimes you do sound rather bitchy when asked to do something. Or when you sigh deeply before saying yes. I at least know that dad hates that, and quite understandably so. But I hope you'll get better soon.

[KainTheVampire]

I was talking a completely normal tone D: She just thought it was selfish of me to rather go to bed than give Mozart a candy T__T
Thanks <3 I'm not better yet anyway

Callid, it's cute how you don't think there are people out there who are willing to buy alcohol for minors in exchange for a bit of cash themselves. I love how you think everyone becomes responsible upon turning age 21 or so. Seriously, I wish I lived in your world.

In the meantime, I am required to be paranoid about who I sell alcohol to. May I repeat that if I sell alcohol to someone underage, or sell alcohol to someone who is caught giving it to someone underage, I risk both my job and my opportunity to live life without prison?

Why the heck don't you guys have cash registers that lock up when a license is required to purchase something? We have that kind of cash register where I work so we don't have to wonder if we need to card anyone; we just card anyone who buys stuff like beer and certain kinds of cold medicine.

...? Our registers are always locked until it's time to put money in or take them out. How's the computer to know if we've carded or not? Tesco's self-service tills freeze up and call for an assistant if you need ID for something, but at actual manned tills they tend to assume that you have a functioning brain and are capable of asking for ID when someone turns up with whisky. Since whisky is just about all the whisky shop sells (hence the name), we ID everyone anyway unless they actually have grey hair or children.

Which also doesn't stop people who are overage coming in and buying for people who are underage. It's just that if we don't know that's what they're doing, we can't know to deny them service. Fortunately, most of them are morons and either hand over the money inside the shop or directly outside of the doors to the shop, which happen to be plate glass In those circumstances, it's pretty obvious that they're buying for minors and we refuse to sell to them.

I think we over-did it yesterday. ~_~* I am not feeling my best, and this 'morning' was feeling really out of it and yuck. By the time I was done at the doc (scheduled appointment) Archi was feeling awful, so he's home sick from work today. ~_~* Poor Archi....

By lock up I mean that the cash registers will not allow you to ring anything else up until you scan the bar code on the back of their driver's license, military ID etc.

Whenever you have to leave a bucket beside your bed before going to sleep, it's bad!
Yep! I'm sick, i think i have a gastroenteritis, aka "stomach flu".
I took some medicin, so the vomiting stopped. I just feel tired, everything hurts.

Not all passports have barcodes, though, and since our customers are predominantly tourists it's mainly passports that we check. A lot of eastern european tourists have state IDs, too, which are also acceptable. Seems like an extraneous hassle, anyway, especially when the customer has silver hair and wrinkles. Seems a lot easier and more sensible to just employ cashiers who actually have IQs in the triple digits and are capable of asking for ID when it's necessary.

And again, that wouldn't prevent people from buying on behalf of minors, so I'm not entirely sure what the point is.
