GreyhoundGirl: Are you serious about your brother? This is inexcusable behavior in my book. Either do something about this abuse taking place in your home or definitely rehome this poor dog

I still can't believe you haven't already done something about it and I can't believe you posted that information on this board. Surely, you knew what was coming

yeah, I agree. poor Jenny.

Donna, my friend, first of all, I'm so happy that you love your job! And, I have news for you, I'd kiss the meesies too....
I talk to the parakeets and all the birds and fish. I don't care what people think.

You totally verified WHY I don't work retail anymore. I always had 2 part time jobs as well as my primary job, cause I thought it'd be fun, and I got discounts etc. I'm a strong people person and thought I could handle anything..like..duh..no.

Adults are just as bad. When I worked the fancy dress dept. at a local department store, we were responsible for cleaning the changing rooms. When I found a dirty, yukky #2 diaper wrapped in a white cocktail dress, that was it for me. I asked for a transfer and soon after, quit (more nightmares). Luckily I didn't like the job that much anymore, because after a really hard day at #1 job, I actually leaned over a glass counter and grabbed a nasty 6itch, who was yelling at me and giving me a problem for no reason, by her coat and went nose to nose with her, Turns out she was testing me and gave in and apologized. I was the talk of the store for days. I didn't get fired, I quit. I must have been PMSing cause I never lost my temper like that.

I called the cops once when a kid around 10 stole 5 candy bars from the counter at my other pt job after his father told him he couldn't have any. Yep, I did. The father actually thanked me (no charges of course), paid for the candy and flew out of the store with the kid by the scruff of his neck.

Sorry, got off the subject. You'll have good and bad days. Hoping the other 364 days stay awesome.

I loved your security story, Mz Frog! Good for you!!!

That is why I will never agian work in retail- it's downright depressing. (I have a back up job for after colledge if all else fails- farrier) I work at a museum at a historic farm and lots of people feel the need to activley engage their kids to run and scream, to throw all of the dirt and straw I JUST swept up out of the bin so that the kids can have a chance to clean too. My sister is 4 and she just switched daycares. She used to be well manered and was learning to sound out simple words and spell words, but now she is a wild child, her teachers don't dicipline and teach her awful grammar. That's proof there that it's far more beneficial to take some effort and teach your own kid right from wrong! STILL if she EVER banged on the tank/cage of an animal I'd have her look me in the eye and tell me why it's wrong to bang on the cages so that she understood the harm she was doing. A 4 year old can grasp the concept that banging on the tank can scare my lizard.
