What Happens When You: Work, Date, And Try To Stay Away From Crazies
It all goes horribly wrong.
This can't be right... Oh yes, yes it is indeed. And this is before I use my employee discount.
Yeah I didn't think this through very well.

I walk into the living and my sister is drinking Shiraz and crying.
Me: "What are you watching? Are you okay? Sis: "Watching "Me Before You" and it's so sad. Do you want to watch with me." Me: "Not interested at all." I make a hasty retreat to my room and shut the door. 30 minutes later, I'm of course hungry, so I venture out of my room. Sister is still crying, but pauses the movie. Sis; "This is such a sad movie. I think I understand what it all means. What is your interpretation of the title of the movie?" Me: "Uh, I assume just from watching a preview on YouTube that it is talking about me before I met you." Sis: "Oh, you got it on the first try? I thought it meant, I am putting myself before you. Like ME first (you are after me). Like me, me, me, me, me." Pounds chest. Me: "I never thought of it that way, but I can see that now if you didn't have any context beforehand if could be talking about selfishness." Sis, sipping more wine: "Well I read the book last week." Me: "...." An hour later, she comes into my room all puffied eyed and says proudly, "Don't worry the title was a top question on goodreads. I wasn't the only one! Phew!" Yeah, internet, Thank you for validating that my sister isn't only one who didn't understand the meaning of the title. But I have a feeling most of the people asking hadn't read the book previously...And didn't come to the realization only while drinking... : When Your Sister Decides To Go Traveling With You Because Her Horoscope Told Her It Was Meant To Be11/19/2016 ![]() I like how I find out my sister is coming with me on my "I'm still trying to find myself by going on a solo backpacking trip through Europe" via her emailed travel itinerary. This is what I get for sending my family my airplane bookings and a very brief note about what I am doing. UPDATE: MY MOTHER HAS DECIDED SHE IS COMING TOO (again, another one to not consult me on this) AND HAS BOOKED HER FLIGHTS. Clearly something got lost in translation when I said I was going to go on a coming of age (cough 30) trip and spend time by traveling via the Euro Rail and staying in hostels. On the bright side: 1) This way I am not staying in hostels. 2) I won't get weird by being alone too long because I won't have time to be alone. 3) Even though my sister and mother rerouted my whole trip to go places they want to see, they bought my plane tickets within Europe so we don't have to deal with trains at all. So I don't have to worry about pickpockets or sleeping on trains. Clearly, I can be bought, The only person who hasn't jumped on board is my father... Probably because he is scheming for free bachelor pad like housing and car at my sister's place while we are gone. My family is so sneaky.
When You Decide To Temp At A High End Retail Store Just So You Can Utilize The Corporate Discount11/1/2016 Signed up for three weeks of temping before I continue onto my funemployment travel plans. Never worked retail before, but I am clearly doing this out of the goodness of my heart...
