apocalypsosIn a side note, everybody might not get why the new icon, but ten bucks says the gang from my writer's group just died laughing. ;)
In any event, since I got paid today, I went shopping and actually bought stuff I didn't need. Like, say, "The Pianist," which was my favorite movie last year and which I've been dying to get ever since it came out on DVD. The mature, thoughtful part of me is grateful to have such a fine work of filmmaking in my collection, the frivolous part of my brain squees loudly every time I look at Adrien Brody (Eeeeee!), and the part of my brain that's spent too much time in the presence of my little brother giggles stupidly every time I say "The Pianist" out loud.
And just out of curiosity, since I just noticed this again today, who's the idiot at every pharmacy and Wal-mart from here to Timbuktu who decided that all of the Thermacare heated patches for back pain should be either on the very bottom or the very top shelf everywhere I go? I think it's either cheap amusement for the employees or a sordid attempt to paralyze someone in that exact spot so they don't have to put a ladder there or can just leave the guy there to hand Thermacare patches up to the customers.
Hmmm. And even with that lovely job description, it still beats my current job into a bloody whiny pulp. (Here,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tree220, let me save you some typing. "Resume, resume, resume. Cute guys. Better money. I'm on the Internet right now. Cute guys. I said cute guys, right?" ;))
Hee. Know what else I saw at work last night while I was goofing off during break? I was reading something and came across the name "Ronald Krum." Died laughing? Why, yes, that I did. And I knew I'd read waaaaaay too much slash when the first thing that came into my head was, "Sitting on the balcony of their Niagara Falls hotel room, the man formerly known simply as Ron Weasley eyed his brand-new wedding ring with a smile and went back to writing "Ronald Krum," "Ronald Weasley-Krum," and "Victor Krum-Weasley" over and over again on a piece of parchment."
Yes, I need help. But at least I admit it. *user goes back to bouncing up and down like a maniac*
I think I'll go make icons until I keel over and die.

In a lot of cases though, people buy space to put their products in stores. And shelf space is priced by ease. Middle shelves are the most expensive, upper and lower shelves are cheaper. So it very well could be the case that the Thermacare folks can only afford to pay for bottom/top shelf space.

Date: 2003-07-03 08:28 am (UTC)not just at the icon, but at the Ronald Krum thing. As a die-hard slasher, it does my heart good that my gen friends are starting to see slash everywhere they turn. *g*
*collapses in a grand fit of more giggles*
