Dealing With Customers

- Me: Let me check my computer, be right back.
- Music Dept Manager: Oh, it's right over here, Lauren. He means The Dog Whisperer.
- Asshole Customer: HA WELL YOUNG LADY YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW THE DEPARTMENT VERY WELL.

YACHT ; “Ring the Bell”
YACHT | Saturday November 14th @ Electric Pickle, Miami
It’s likely that I’ll be going to Disney on the 13th for Mike’s birthday, but I’m totally coming back to Miami in time for this show and going with my friend Matt! Even if you don’t listen to YACHT (I’m pretty new to them myself) there’s no doubt in my mind that it will be ridiculously fun and dance-y! It seems like Miami is the only part of the US east coast that they’re hitting… weird! I have a feeling they’re going to do well here. I have no idea what it’s going to cost at the door but it’s probably cheap. Is anyone else thinking about going?
Regarding interpersonal relationships, there is seriously nothing more pointless than a promise ring.
I mean, seriously, think about it:
“I am engaged to be engaged.”
Does anyone else think about how stupid that sounds? It’s cute when you’re 16 or a Jonas brother. When you’re pushing 30, its not cute anymore — it’s weird. It’s one thing to look at your boyfriend and you’ve already had the marriage talk and it’s in the works but not just yet, but it’s a completely different thing when you actually have a pre-engagement ceremony or some shit to celebrate your promise to get married eventually.
It makes no sense to me.
What is the significance? You’re not engaged. You’re pre-engaged. What the fuck, that doesn’t even exist. Pre-engagement is being in a relationship. Hell, I’m pre-engaged and I’ve been single for roughly 348 years, if you wanna get technical about it.
So yeah, adults, give up the promise ring shit, You wanna get your girl something sparkly, then fucking do it. Don’t attach some dumb “pre-engagement yaaay!” bullshit onto it so that you feel like less of a douche for not wanting to get married any time soon.
THANKS. End rant.
