My ankle has gone from the size of Texas to the size of Rhode Island in swelling (despite twisting it again), so I'm pretty happy with how it's healing. Three days with no need for pain meds. :3
We're flat broke, and if it weren't for my mother, I'd be walking across town to work. It's maybe three or four miles, but still -- I'd have to start walking way early to get there, and then my uniform would be all bleh by the time I got there.
I don't work tomorrow, which is ironic, since we'll actually have money at some point tomorrow.

It would make sense if we maybe had a sub-board for them, since they've gotten so numerous.
It only really annoys me because of the disorder (it #####s with the order, and the "New"s aren't in true chronological order).

Howcome toast is the only food that is created by re-cooking another food?
Fried rice is made with leftover cooked rice. Leftover surprise. There are a number of ways of re-cooking leftover food, which definitely counts as cooking cooked food.

I must say, relevant to fast food, that the fact that the SAME menu item, in the SAME chain of restaurants, has DIFFERENT names.
For example, our McChicken is not the same as a Canadian McChicken. Our McChicken is a "Junior Chicken."
Our Big 'N' Tasty is called a Big Extra in Canada.
What the ##### is a Double Big Mac?
And, of course, there's the things relevant to the rant I made a few days ago.

Things that annoy me include:
The people who sit on the street (at outdoor cafés and whatnot), "rating" people on a scale of 1-10.
This sprained ankle.
People who can't be arsed to invest in a muffler for their vehicle.
People who feel that being lazy is an acceptable excuse for using Chatspeak.
People who throw rocks at our apartment window when a small stick or lipstick tube cover is quite loud enough.
This bandage.
Many parts of working fast food.
Some other things.
ASR: Mosquitos are bitches. I have "sweet" blood, so they swarm to me. ):

Yesterday, I hit a curb funny, and my ankle simultaneously turned inward and upward. And made a cracking sound. I hobbled over to a place to sit, asked to borrow someone's phone to call Ray, then immediately burst into tears as the initial pain hit.
Ironically, though it happened on my way home to get my work shoes, my boss didn't find the humour of the timing.
Every single vein in that foot is showing, and it's twice as big as normal.
It's just a sprain, but...
... It hurts a lot. ._.

No frapps, but then again, there are enough coffee shops around here to float a cruiseliner.
We get people asking if we have twist cones or strawberry or mango ice cream.
"No. We have vanilla soft-serve, or vanilla soft-serve dipped in chocolate." "Is the chocolate dipped the same price?" "No, it's 20 cents more." "I don't want that, just give me three cookies." "We only have oatmeal raisin, or it'll be about five minutes for chocolate chip." "Just give me the coffee, then."
Ye gods.

Why have we trained our customers to expect free things and/or special deals?
We have a special going on where any size soft drink is one dollar, and I constantly have people looking at the receipt and proceeding to bitch and moan because they got a meal, so their drink shows up as $1.83 instead of a dollar. This is, of course, despite the fact that with our meals, it's discounted to the point where, if you split the cost up, the drink is about a dollar. Most people are mollified once they learn this, but we still have people who demand to have the meal refunded and charged separately.
We also constantly have people asking if we have special deals on sandwiches daily, as well as asking if we have things like the Angus Burger (because it totally isn't new, therefore logically stating that we'd at least have a sign or something if we did have it) or turkey sandwiches or muffins.
I don't know what your Canadian McDonaldses sell, but bran muffins? Turkey sandwiches? Isn't that what they have delis and/or sandwich shops for?
There are also the people who only want one pie, and then insist that they won't pay more than 50 cents for it. Yes, it's stupid that two pies are three cents more expensive than one pie, but that's because the two pies are discounted. If you're that cheap, why are you eating out at all?
Going back to the signs business that I mentioned earlier: You'd seriously think the population of people who can read the menu board could also read
a) the prices,
b) the clear signs saying that we don't have espresso,
c) the "Order" and "Pickup" signs,
as well as at least have the logic to realize that no espresso means we don't HAVE lattés, much less free ones on Friday, and no, we can't substitute something completely different because you want a free drink.

Jesus, I'm glad it's payday.

I moved out a few months after 20.
My reason wasn't relevant to my mom at all.
Well, technically, it was because she couldn't afford to support me AND Ray, but that's hardly her fault.

My cat's like that, but without attacking the weak points. She also likes to kill our TV speakers with her claws.
And now, she has four little ones: Two adorable, chillaxed love machines-in-training, one adorable-but-loud police siren-in-training, and one adorable jerkface tom cat-in-training (he's the ginger one).
