@ Calizaire
that story made my day. hehehe.
But it was probably so annoying in person. Hugs!

As to companies employing such methods because of previous problems, I guess this amounts to
"this is why we can't have nice things".

Glad I got someone to chuckle! The serious, "company policy" stuff....sorry, I had to show less ID to buy beer today. Which is the more dangerous substance?
And I have to show no ID to vote, but Gawd forbid I want spray paint, that's "policy".
*eyeroll*

@ Little Orca...i am so sorry you are going through a rough time. Sending a big hug your way!

@ Calizaire... I don't know if i was able to deal with what you went through in that store.
I think i would have told them to shove it up their asses and left the store never to return, then file a complaint.
We dont have any crazy store policies like that here, thank god!
From the way your describe it all it seems like you bought paint that was made out of gold our something lol.

Chinese companies have a bad habit of forgetting to reply in time.
What i do is simply email them again asking if they can give me a reply to my email since i have not heard back yet.
Normally that does the trick.

Fuck people and their narrow minded beauty ideals.

"That person is not beautiful because they are not white, not thin, not following a gender-stereotype -I- approve of, don't dress the right way, don't act a certain way, are lazy, are not educated to my standards, and have a plethora of issues I don't care to understand."

"If these people would just stop eating..." (News flash, if everyone stopped eating they would die. I know what you were trying to say, but you see that comment I made? That is how stupid your comment sounds.)

That mythic norm you are searching for is just that: A MYTH! I have known more mermaids than I have known people who are 'perfect.' Ask me which one I believe is real?

I could attack your physical appearance, I could attack your gender or anything that you align yourself to, but why? That would make me no better than you are. I do have one thing though over you: compassion. Those people may not be "beautiful" to you and there may be things about them that I personally do not find attractive, but you know what? That does not make them any less of a person and it sure as fuck does not mean that they deserve any less compassion and respect from their fellow human beings.

And one more thing, my dear, you are ugly. Not on the outside... You have won a genetic lottery to ensure that you have what our society deems as the 'attractive' and 'wanted' traits. Oh no, you are ugly inside: where your black little heart attempts to pump the tar that is your blood through your circulatory system of hate.

I think its Chinese new year for them so they are probably all off of work.

Chinese New Year is Feb. 8

Oops! I could have sworn that other companies told me they wouldn't be working some time around January until February because of it.

They may not be. It would make sense that the 2 weeks around Chinese New Years many companies would take off:

It's not that they have a bad habit of forgetting to reply in time. It's that the rest of the world doesn't follow their national holidays. No one is working right now. It's Chinese New Year.

It's not a one day thing in Chinese culture. They follow lunar calendar.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Ugggh!!! Its shark week and I already made plans to go swimming tomorrow.

*sigh*

So so glad I don't have to endure it every month like I used to. I've calculated how much money I've saved by not buying new products each month... $20 - $30 depending on what I need and what's on special.

Actually i do a lot of business with Chinese companies all year round and for me they do have a bad habit of not replying to my emails so i constantly have to email them over and over asking them to reply, give me quotations on my requests and ask over and over if my order was shipped out yet or not etc etc etc.
If it is a holiday now than they may reply after that, or they may forget so it is best to email them again if they do not reply when the holiday is over, trust me, been there A LOT as well lol

I was ID'd a few weeks ago... in Hobby Craft! Apparently I look too young to be trusted with a little tin of varnish (I'm 31) I can honestly say it made my day!

Little Orca - I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. I know it's easy to say, but try to focus on the positives. At least your working towards a better future and you're not stuck there indefinitely. *hugs*

My minor 3-part bitch for the day: it's Monday. I'm at work. I've got the cold.

Looks like I'll have to find a new job or a second job because my work won't give me any hours. I busy all week except Tuesday's and Thursday's and Saturday's because of school. This completely ruins my plans on being able to save up money to move out.

Good luck, Kelly! The job search is always a pain in the neck.

Yeah, I've found in the past that there's always crazy drama springing up on the forums this time of year

I've noticed too, around this time and when winter starts to get under way. I think it's because now is the time when a lot of mers are pulling their tails out of storage for warmer weather and a lot of people start coming out of the woodwork.

My bitch: I have waaay too much time and nothing to do with it I have some costume commissions but I'm waiting on the customers to send the deposit before I can start (it irks me so much when ppl decide to go through with it and you send them the invoice and tell them they have a week to pay the deposit and sign the contract and nearly a week later the deposit is still unpaid and the contract isn't signed then they get mad at you when you tell them you filled the spot with someone else already)

But I am looking forward to doing the commissions if they all pay on time. I have a briar rose, Princess Tiana (blue dress), silvermist (pirate fairy version), and a snow white.

It's fun and it's certainly not affecting you...why do you care so much?
