I’m starting to see some right-before-the-holidays-be-nice-to-retail-workers posts, so I want to just say a couple things you can do to make your local retail workers’ lives a little easier:

1. If you’re buying cards, especially multiple cards, face the barcode out. This isn’t a huge thing, but fumbling with the envelopes and trying to make sure not to miss any takes time.
2. ASK FOR GIFT RECEIPTS BEFORE YOU PAY. This one actually IS pretty big, as a lot of places require a manager to print them once a transaction is closed. And everyone gets mad about how long that can take, because managers are BUSY right now.
3. Be aware of the fact that many stores can’t match online prices. Don’t waste your time and your store workers’ time by arguing about it.
4. If you try and call your store, don’t get nasty if you have to wait awhile to get through. We’re all doing our best, but EVERYONE is calling or coming in this week, and no matter how many people we staff we’re very busy.
5. This is less a holiday thing, but always think through things you say to retail workers! They almost always have to be nice to you, even when you make them uncomfortable, and that dynamic makes things even more uneasy for them.

My fiancee wanting a Christmas tree would have been the cutest thing, except the real cutest thing was that since she’s never had one and is also a city girl, she didn’t know about sap and how sticky it is so she was EXTRA AMUSED by her puns about me being sappy when I handled our tree.

Hey all! About a year ago I got rid of/sold a lot of my Figurarts, intending to only keep Haruka, Michiru, and Mako. But I never found a home for Usagi (the original Sailor Moon, but not the first edition with the extra face). I’ve been intending to give her away for a while, but I’ve been forgetting about it.

So! If you would like her, let me know! Please don’t reblog this, as I’d rather avoid doing a big deal sort of giveaway. If I get a couple people interested, I’ll do a random draw. Reply or send me a message, whatever works best for you.

Alright, I’ve drawn for this, thank you to those of you who were interested!

I’m not articulate at this hour but sometimes (like right now, before work) I get really emotional about dumb stuff being understood??

Like when I read Fruits Basket in high school I was so taken with the thing of “When snow melts what does it become? Spring” because there’s so much in both the sentiment and the word play that was exactly what I needed, and I remember trying to explain it to my best friend at the time and being told it was wrong and stupid (she was… a very literal person, I’d say). But then a little while ago I mentioned it to my fiancee, because even though I haven’t read the series for years that one line sticks with me, and she, knowing nothing about the series, was just like “that’s really beautiful” and this wasn’t even that recent but I’m just thinking about it and feel a lot of things.
