the worst emotional truama ive ever recieved in my life is in 2nd grade, i went to catholic school and i was really acting out that day because something my teacher did my made me blood boil, so i acted out and got to sit on a bench alone during recess
however, in defiance i ran to the slide and did the only thing i knew how to do when i was upset at someone and pissed my pants
my teacher was forced to clean up the unpacified rage that was my urination off the slide and of course my mom got called, when i got picked up by her later that day, she began to ask me if i still liked Hillary Duff, who was like my weird 2nd grader TV crush and i got all happy shaking my head like YEAH, YEAH I DO LIKE HILLARY DUFF IS SHE HERE
and thats when it struck, the peircing lance that struck my heart, and i will never forget these words my mother told me:
At some point, Peridot decided that the sky should be shared between herself and Lapis, and procured scraps of her old handship to level the playing field.
My piece for @lily-padfanzine, a Lapidot zine I participated in earlier this year. This illustration also served as a cover for the book! Big thanks to the editors who put it all together!
I know for a fact I’ve told this story on here before but I’ll never get over the time when I was working retail and I was cashing out some lady so I asked “cash, debit or credit how are you paying, ma’am?” And she said “that’s none of your business.” And demanded to speak to my manager about my invasive question
Oh, I’ve got one in this vein: a lady called our company wanting us to come steam clean her tile floors, but refused to give her address, instead demanding that we do it at our location. And hung up when I tried to explain that her floors were attached to her house.
Let that sink in for a second.
at my last job me two co workers and a manager had to explain to a guy why we couldn’t let him walk out to go to his car to get his wallet with a product that he didn’t pay for yet….we had to explain to him MULTIPLE times….he tried to get us (including the manager) fired the next day because we “didn’t have any trust”
another time another guy tried to get everyone in the store (including the general manager) fired because no one answered his call when he called five hours before we opened that day
i also had to explain to countless people that just because one specific product like a mouse or keyboard were on sale, it doesn’t mean that ALL mouses/keyboards were on sale
