toodldo_4julie: 'sall good

---

there was a small orange dot on the wall of our computer room, so i took bleach and wiped it off. now there is a really really clean spot, and the rest of the wall looks like a murky white-gray and i don't feel like cleaning it all.

stupid orange dot.

life is good. blockbuster is good. pj (new cat) is good. toes are good. fingers also are good. right ear funny. door knob satisfyingly metalish.

toodldo_4julie: the joys of blockbuster

---

a woman called the store tonight and bitched at me and my manager (saying things like how she was gonna sue us for harrassment and get her attorney involved) because she was receiving automated voice messages saying that she had overdue items. she claimed she now lived in harrisonburg, and hadn't used her blockbuster card in like 10 years or so. we looked up her account via the harrisonburg branch, and it said it'd been active in our neck of the woods w/in the last week. there were two names on the account other than the lady's, two men. we called her back once we got as much info as we could. when we told her that her account was being used in our blockbuster, and that it was via one of the two guys on her account, she flew off the hook and bitched and cussed and we got a few words out of it that weren't profane that said something about her 'ex-husband'.

she then tried to tell us it was our fault that her ex husband still had access to her account.

the only way that a name can be taken off an account (like the extra people on a main person's account) is if the main person comes in w/ a photo id and changes his/her account.

stupid woman.

meanwhile another customer tried to tell us that we'd rented him the wrong movie when we checked him out the movie that he handed us directly. (the movie inside the box was the same movie as titled on the outside)

of course he didn't bring it back to us until after he'd watched it (he must have not noticed until the end that lilo and stitch 2 wasn't sahara)

and he still wanted a refund/credit on his accout.




Mood: slightly amused at the stupidity

toodldo_4julie: realization

---

i've discovered something throughout the past few months.

money, respect, title, 'stuff'... these are things generally earned by the receiver.

love is given freely.

maybe that's why someone can have little respect for a lot of the people they know, but have enormous amounts of love.

and maybe that's why when we love someone, we just keep loving them more and more because there's no limit to how much love we can give.

that's something special. something we'll never run out of.


i'm so in love ... and i'm glad that i'm smart enough to realize it for what it is and that i don't have to imagine life without him. i've also realized that being engaged doesn't really make much of a difference to anyone but the people around us, because when two people get to a certain point, even a ring can't make it any more special.

but i think i'm gonna make him change his name to mine, cuz i like how my name fits together so well. :P

i'm gonna go tell dennis that i love him. not that words are always necessary.



Mood: completely content.
