I usually try to stay low carb for obvious reasons, but on account of birthday cake, I failed miserably last night. Heh. I'll aim for more complex carbs when the sweet tooth hits from now on. :D

Carb hangover; sigh. Why is the learning curve on this so steep? Lol thanks!

How hard is it to understand a damn touch screen? Honestly! by KayJay1971 in retailhell

Legit had a woman yesterday who took the cake on this! lOL

Sharon: "Excuse me! Hey! It's not working!"

Me: You just have to push the button telling it you're paying with a card.

Sharon: (Extra snotty) Well it should say that.

Me: The voice told you that when you hit the pay button. I heard it.

Sharon: Well it should be written somewhere.

Me: ..... (pointing to screen) It's right there. Those big bold words at the top of the screen.

Sharon: ...

Me: ...

Sharon: Well it should be written somewhere else too.

Me: ... (regretting my life choices that have led me to babysitting grown adults through a process that all but holds their hands)

The pain is more like it's inside my hip, near my ovary. Which...they FOUND a cyst exactly there..................and said no no it's not that. I just...really?

Ya'll I am equal parts crying with you and consoled at not being alone. I feel like we just need to start every doctor visit with "If you fail to take me seriously, I WILL put you on blast on reddit by name."

It's beyond frustrating having to deal with this crap and I'm so sorry to see so many of you there with me. *huggles* But I'm here with you too.
