“The hotter the day, the less you pay!”. Fantastic promotional idea from menswear label Social Suicide to celebrate the launch of their new Ganton Street outlet.

Depending on how hot it is in our fair capital this summer, Social Suicide will be offering you the equivalent money off their current SS09 collection, The Beaufort Scale. If it’s 21 degrees on the thermometer, then you get 21% off, if it’s (a miracle) 30 degrees, then 30% off – simple system, beautifully implicated. Whether it’s a scorcher or not, the shop’s well worth a visit and not even London will hit freezing for a little while yet, so you’ve no excuse… Social Suicide, 8 Ganton Street, London, W1F 7QP

Wouldn’t this be great right now in Vancouver? 30-40% off depending on the weather. It’s brill!

*Note to self. Keep this in mind if I ever decide to open a store. ;D

My relationship with the mirror is usually like locking eyes with a stranger on a bus and then looking away.

it’s true.

MADNESS

I got my first complaint yesterday(yes! directed towards ME). I don’t know if it’s just me… but usually when u ask for refills for drinks in restaurants they refill it in the same cup, no?

Well I don’t know. Maybe I’m out of my mind but this guy and his girl asked me for refills so I got it for them… in the same cup (which may be bad but it never occured to me). LAter he complained to my manager saying the fries were cold(NOT MY FAULT on this one. I also got him fresh fries STAT) and that he felt like an “inconvenience” to me. Don’t be a douche. Please.

Well this is my fault.. no one told me about this so I refilled his drinks in the asme cup and didn’t change his ice(NOT A BIG DEAL) and he freaked out. oh STFU seriously…. some people are the worst. STUPID CUSTOMERS. I HATE PEOPLE…why do I work in a restaurant… AUGHHHHHHH

On top of that and the printers stopped working yesterday so for ~20 mins it was madness. MADNESSSS.

It was also scorching hot.

I’m *overreacting* even though it was my fault(partly) and I’ll admit that.. I just HATE CUSTOMERS WHO COMPLAIN FUCKKKKk. I, for one, NEVER EVEr complain about food in any restaurant. If it sucks I won’t come back is that not SIMPLE? GEEZ MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER AND DON’T COME BACK.

I’ll say something positive for balance. Some people are just so GREAT that I’d love to have tea (figure of speech I hate tea. I only like the generic iced tea) with them. Heck I’d treat them to a 12 course dinner. They’re so nice and forgiving and thankful and they never complain unless it’s WORTH complaining. <3 <3 <3

This other time one of the servers told me that this man said I didn’t wipe this table. WDF? I DID WIPE THAT TABLE. He only saw me do the last half of the cleaning process and had a fit. AAAARHHHHHHHHHHH

Water

Yesterday the water pipe downstairs “exploded” so we have no running water. THIS IS THE PITS.

It’s because we have tenants downstairs. I believe it’s becaues they do the laundry EVERY EFFEN DAY holy shit.. = water is always always running and that’s not normal according to my dad. We only do it once a week. That’s normal isn’t it?

So…..we have been brushing our teeth, washing our hands, etc. with drinking water, which is ok as that is the only bountiful source of anything in my house.

No one wants to cook with no water… our dishes are piling up so me & sis decided to eat at ws before work. Dad was too lazy to come inside… so I got takeout for him(which he still hasn’t eaten yet geez). It was aight. First time eating breakfast there.

2.5 hours today. SO glad I got to go home. This week = 14 hrs (typically how much I work in 3 weeks LOL)

UHG

AHHHHHHHHHHHASODGSDGHGUHGUGHG I WANT A C&C SHIRT AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKJSHDGKJHSDG AHHOADIH UGH POOOOOOOOOOo

I can’t find any womens C&C shirts ANYWHERE! None at plenty…. they dont have anymore at j2. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO AAAAAAHHHHHHh

Trendz/Firsts

When someone asks me “what are you doing this summer?” I say “summer school”. These are the two types of responses that I get:

1. “That sucks!!!!”
2. “Me too! What are you taking?”

The two responses are from *generally* asian or white people. I think you can figure that out.

If I were a boss/manager/some superior being of some restaurant/store/etc and someone didn’t show up for their shift. If it’s without a legit reason I would fire their asses without a second thought. One girl at work has been late 2-3 times.. didn’t show up once or twice. She’s great… but she should be fired. how can you run anything with such flakey workers? It can’t be done.

I’m reading: Hunting and Gathering by Anna Gavalda(the french title is ensemble, c’est tout). I’m 3/5 of the way done and I really like it.

Whilst googling for the book cover I found out that because the book had been such a hit in France, it became a movie! I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! I wonder if Saint-Exupery will have it hehehe. I can’t wait. ————-YES THEY HVAE IT! I checked the online catalogue… .also they have the book. After reading this I’m going to read it in French. I wonder how.. I’ll do.

BTW that’s an obscene translation of the title. “Together, that’s all” to “Hunting and gathering?” Weird.

• Yesterday I was dying of boredom in my class.. so I decided to write a haiku, because A used to and it was interesting. Needless to say it was the stupidest thing I have ever written. Not proud***
• The test I thought I failed, I didn’t. 83.5% WOW I dodged that bullet.
• There’s this “gas smell” in the lobby at work… the workers can’t really smell it. I can’t. It’s been giving me a stomach ache—–only realized this after 3 other people said the same thing. Others have headaches or dizziness. Oh god we’re all going to get cancer when we’re old because of this nonononono

Firsts:
Wednesday shift. Hostessing for the first time… 15 mins for C when she went on her break. <NAT BAD AT ALL. 4 shifts this week. Record setting!! Next week I have 3 fr shifts <3 overjoyed, I am.

I was food running on sat night. I bought an order to this family of four..(sitting at 60 actually). The dad ordered teriyaki chicken rice bowl. I put down his order… Ans he asked if he could get some chopstix LOL!! I understand where he is coming from… Rice…  Terikyaki.. I was so amused. This was a… White restaurant! Hahaha made my night. Thepoor man was disappointed though

I’m getting a second cousin!!!

My cousin is having a kid.

I had no idea what would that make me or the baby so I googled it. It makes us… second cousins which doesn’t really make sense because second cousins are your cousin’s cousins.

Did you ever realize that these douches(RCMP) look strikingly similar to the original black hatted london guys(original name plz…)? Ok…. it’s just the color of their jackets and their pants.

Canada sucks.

Be-tee-double you, did you know that vancouver and delta apparently have their own police force, separate from Surrey’s and probably everywhere else?

“VPD = vancouver police department”
“Surrey RCMP”

I watch the news religiously, almost everyday at both 6 and 11, though it’s mostly a repeat, and not once did I realize. My tutee told me. He also told me he wanted to be a cop. I didn’t dare to say anything because…well… I got PAID to teach them french, not about my views lololol
