Why aren't you celebrating? :O Or do you just not celebrate Christmas? Which I understand if you don't ^-^ I know a few people who don't.

I work Wednesday's - Sunday's. It's honestly a great schedule for me! I would much rather do my shopping on a Monday or Tuesday than the weekend. Weekends it is crazy busy everywhere and I HATE crowds with a passion lol So it's works for me ^-^

It's my fiance's aunt :3 I am wearing the UGLIEST dress ever lmfao. I'm not excited.

Oh my gosh! I mean, I love the snow and all, but I couldn't live in those temperatures. I would turn into a ice cycle XD I was working, but I am off today and tomorrow! dances

AHHHHH! That gif is amazing!!! I am dead right now XD XD XD

Oh yes, we have those customers too -- Evil assholes. I managed to make it another week without blowing up on a customer XD I had this one woman chew me out the other day because we didn't keep our dinner food (at the cafe side of Target) ready at dinner time.... Like woman, this is TARGET! We aren't a freaking fast food place :K We make all food fresh when it's ordered. Would you like me to have the food sitting around rotting? -- grumbles

I am doing great, thank you!!! ❤ I think I bought all the gifts for lumi and even some extra for people who were being nice for me ^___^ I hope I did not forget anyone 😱 !!! I am always afraid I forget some people ;-; Not everyone I know/like is in my friend list.

It feels a bit like an extended internship where I get paid for XD and I love my colleagues!!! They are so caring :3

That is a pretty descent price you got for these books :D I think we paid a lot more for schoolbooks, LOL. How long does it take for you to finish a book?

Yes, an ice-cream maker, how awesome!!! I would love frozen yoghurt with blueberries and strawberries 😍 But it is so unhealthy 😭

Sleep is such an interesting subject!!! And I am a weird sleeper myself :P I am super sensitive to light, in the summer I sleep like 3-4 hours a day and in the summer easy 7 hours (if I do not have to work). And I had a few times that I woke up and my body was still asleep, so scary 😱 I wanted to walk and scream, but I was half in my dream and heard anything around me in real life 😧

Glad to know!!! Just do not worry about my birthday, I do not need anything ❤ And yes, ready for lumi here, LOL, I am broke so I have to be ready 😅 Are you ready?

There are other holidays I celebrate instead (:

Yes, that sounds much better! I also prefer to shop during the week, unfortunately I always work then. Saturdays are very busy indeed and on Sundays the shops are closed, unless I travel to another place ;-; Though, I would not like to work when others are off or the other way around, I do not like to have a day off if everyone works :( How is that for you?

Aw ;___; How? Why? What is wrong with your dress?

Yay for days off C: I had just a short day today. It was my last at that location, actually!

I know the feeling! I feel like I've forgotten people!

Haha yeah, my only scheduled shift which is on a Sunday, so it's never normally too busy! Plus it means I got a day off this Sunday given it's Christmas, and they've put me on an all day shift (10-4) for Boxing Day, which I've heard is pay and a half (so I'll potentially get 1.5 times the amount I normally get paid) so pretty happy about that :P Oh nice, that's not too bad of a shift either :)

Any time :D Haha well, its always the way; I'm always tired when I've done absolutely nothing all day haha XD Very nice, I'm glad you had a great day :3 Haha well, if we don't see you on here for a while, we'll know where you are :P I'm well thank you, hows your day been today? :)

Woot woot! Seriously, I think we deserve some kind of medal for that! Oh gosh, people are just idiots, honestly! You really can't do right for doing wrong in customer service; in the Chinese where I work, people moan when their food is late for delivery, but yet also moan when it arrives sooner than I said on the phone... You just can't win with people XD

Haha that's wonderful then! It's always amazing when you like the people you work with, makes work so much nicer and enjoyable :3 I really like all my colleagues at the book store, besides one whom I just tolerate. She seems to have an issue with me and the girl who started at the same time as me for some reason, though we've been nothing but nice to her. Now we've just stopped trying; everyone else seems to somewhat dislike her too so it's not just us! :/

Yeah I wouldn't grumble at the £12, but essentially half price would have obviously been preferable :P Schoolbooks are so expensive! My friends at uni bought a lot of the books for their courses and they were insanely pricey! I just made do with the library books, even though I had to keep returning them then reserving them XD I got my degree though, and saved money :P Well I don't tend to read a lot of fiction to be honest, again I mostly buy cookbooks which I don't read, just flick through. Though starting from next year when I cook more, I'll be reading the books this time :D I really should start reading fiction again though, there's some brilliant books I'd love to read so perhaps I shall :) How about you? :D

I totally don't need it, and if I'm honest I much prefer sorbet to ice-cream, but I'm sure it would make both! Really? Well I'm certain it's far healthier than ice-cream, so just remind yourself of that when you eat it :P

It really is, isn't it! Oh that's awful, like sleep paralysis? I've heard that happens to quite a few people though, so you're definitely not alone :) There are some very interesting sleep disorders out there, and some rather bizarre parasomnias (events that occur during sleep, such as night terrors). Considering we spend 1/3 of our lives asleep, and that the vast majority of animals sleep or exhibit sleep-like behaviours, its astounding that we still don't really know why we sleep! I may want to go into sleep psychology at some point haha!

Yeah Boxing Day /SHOULD/ be time and a half! When I was younger I always offered to work on holidays to make a little extra money ;)

I'm looking forward to getting paid more just because it's the day after Christmas haha! I don't blame you, it's more money for the same amount of hours as you'd usually do, so you'd be silly not to take advantage of that! :p

Hey everybody, finally online after a busy time! Hope everyone is doing A-okay :D Everybody ready for X-mas? done all the shopping and decorating?

Yes it is, I am glad you are surrounded by nice people as well. ^____^ But indeed, some people are just weird! 😩 Thankfully not at my work (of which I know), but I have/had “friends” who I really do not get 😠 !!!

You did well with those books 😊 I always bought them (NEW)!!! Most were around € 100.-!!! And they were always gone in the library of the university! You saved a lot of money there :P

I cannot even remember the last time I read fiction 😨 … I think it was for a school assignment when I was in high school, some book about a twin in the second world war. The title caught my attention (The Twin), but it turned out to be a whole other story then I had expected. I am not about to read fiction any time soon, the headache I get is not worth it. What kind of fiction would you read?

Haha I prefer frozen fruit over a sorbet XD I like it more when it is in its original shape 😍 I hope frozen yoghurt is far healthier than ice-cream indeed 😰 I probably will not even want to eat it anymore if I find out how much sugar it contains 😱

Yes, it was sleep paralysis! 😲 I always would love to know more about sleep!!! Just feel free to share interesting facts, whenever you come across them ❤

Hey hun, welcome back online :* Why was it so busy?

I have bought anything for lumi 😊 Just waiting untill everyone can open it and hope for the best 😅 How about you?

hope your birthday was excellent!!! And hope you enjoy everything you received~ Which sims game is the newest? 4? :D

I'm doing good!! Today I finished gifting everyone in my friends list finally. I'm happy about the pet slot reward for this quest a thon :D How are you doing?

Your HA looks super cute ❤

Feels great gifted everyone, right? I am still scrolling through the gifts I gave, hoping I did not forget anyone/anything!!!

I am also happy for you :* I still have one pet slot open, so many pets XD haha!!! I want to activate them anytime soon, though. What pet do you want next?

very busy at work, Chritsmas shopping (presents/food) and with the refurbishment of the house. The plasterer is coming tomorrow morning :D I think I have a few more things to buy for Lumi, but its soo difficult you see trees loaded with presents and you just hope you buy something that hasn't already been bought haha. exciting times :D

Sounds busy indeed!!! I am missing out a lot of information XD What job do you have? And what exactly are you going to do with Christmas? Did you just moved?

Yes, it always is!!! I do not dare looking at someones wishlist after I put something under the tree 😰 Sometimes items are deleted from the wishlist right before lumi 😱 That happened a couple of times last year!!! And there are always duplicates I am sure 😞

I used to be an assistant-controller for an eletrotechnical company and now I work as a customer service specialist for a big wholesaler. We bought the house 3.5 years ago but the house was built in 1897 so its over a 100 years old and a partial monument. It needs lot of work and we are doing most of it ourselves, but it will be beautiful when its finished :) Christmas is fun filled! :D Christmas eve I spend at a friend's house binge-watching Christmas movies in our PJ's and Christmas day we spend with my grandmother and mother eating home-made tapas. Boxing day we spend at our house with another set of friends and we will be "gourmetten" and "sjoelen". and you?

LOL seems very technical and complex XD Is it call center/chat of face-to-face?

Wow, that is old indeed!!! I would not dare to buy a house that old, I think my parent's house is old already and that house if from 1980 or something 😅 But they can be so pretty and if you are pretty handy totally worth it!!! Do you live in a city or village?

Sounds awesome!!! 😊 And gourmetten with this little pans is so much fun 😍 it has been so long ago since I did that! I am about to do nothing special, probably just lurking on subeta, doing some exercising, if the weather is nice go for a walk with my sisters and just enjoying my day off :D

Ohhhhhh ok :3 I gotcha! <3

All the shops are closed in your town on Sunday's?!?! I wish it was like that here. That would be so great. Me and my fiance both have Monday afternoon & evenings, along with all of Tuesday, every week. So it works out perfectly (:

GIRL! It's like a $20 granny dress. This isn't going to be a typical nice wedding. It's more of a last minute, quickly done wedding. But my fiance's mom bought us all dresses, so we are all matching. But omg.... I wish she had not LOL It's awful. Luckily the bride said I could change right after the wedding lmfaoooo. I originally wasn't going to be in the wedding, so Rusty (my fiance) bought me this gorgeous green and black velvet dress to wear. So I'm just going to change into that once it's over.

Finally!!! Are you sad to be leaving that location though?

You really just can't win with people XD I used to take it personally when people got angry and mean with me. But now I just flip them off when they are walking away lmfao XD

Hey there! I'm Tarra! ^-^ I didn't realize a new person was here! waves

It's more call center type although it has more to do with in-depth cases such as guarantees and such. It's in a city, very close to the city centre which is nice.

Ooh relaxing on Christmas sounds wonderfull too, I believe we'll be having some "soft" weather so a walk should be nice, especially if you end it with a hot chocolate :D

Hi Tarra, nice to meet you I'm Anouck :) waves Yes Kiruna introduced me to this group, lovely people so far :D

Nice to meet you Anouck! ^-^ I'm glad you like it here! I'm usually a bit more chatty, but I've been swamped with RL the past couple of weeks. I'm finally able to get on and catch up ^-^ Are you ready for the holidays?

I know how you feel, i've been swamped too. But Christmas is coming which gives us time to relax. I'm completely ready for the holidays. both Christmas and almost ready for Lumi haha. how about you?

That is true! I luckily am able to get a nice 3-day weekend with Christmas, and the two days after. I'm so excited! LOL I finished all my Christmas shopping today WOOOO! And I'm working on finishing my Lumi shopping right now (:

Agreed! I found out today that I take over my new position basically next week so my hours are about to skyrocket!

Not super sad, no. Haha. It's so nice to have my own jam and have it be smaller!
