I would like to know if "Asia" is pronounced as we gringos/yanquis would pronounce the continent's name (AY-zhuh), or if she is properly pronounced differently, such as "Ah-SEE-ah," oj tak.

big rant:

just got home from grocery shopping at safeway. lady behind the deli counter was incredibly rude and insinuated we wouldn't be able to afford the ham we asked her to weigh. specifically, before agreeing to weigh it, she raised her eyebrow and said "these are really expensive" and after we nodded and said we knew how much they usually cost, she sighed loudly, rolled her eyes and said "i could do this all day..."

i know that her job is probably hard and tiring and she had a long day on her feet but there was no need for her to be so openly rude. hey, talk about me behind your back, sure, but if you do it to my face, you're asking for me to say something. and at first, i didn't. jonas and i walked away and filled our cart with other things, but it kept bugging me, so i said to him, i'm sorry but i have to go back to the deli and say something. jonas suggested i speak to her supervisor but i said no because i've worked retail before and i know management usually sucks, so i just wanted to talk to the lady and tell her i didn't appreciate how she spoke to us.

but, when i got there, she didn't even want to speak to me, asking her co-worker to go forward to help me instead, and then finally when i insisted on speaking to her, she met everything i said with "i have no idea what you're talking about." with this smug look on her face. i said, my husband *heard* you, i heard you. and she just shrugged and said, "no idea." and at one point, i said i've worked retail before so i know that shifts can be long and tiring and sometimes you have a bad day but - and she cut me off and said, "i've had a great day, what about you?" and finally she said, "we're busy here so do you need anything else?" of course there wasn't even one other person at the counter.

See if you can tell the local news, if they do a story on it, that b1tch is fired....

Friday back-report, si and sigh and ouch man:

In morn, nuked imminently returning body-aches with Tylenol, no ouch man.

In eve, did same.

In between, noticed culprit back-muscle beginning to throb again, sigh man.

However, only with most borderline of pain, NotMuchOuch man.

Neverthelessly, this is disturbing, see and sigh man.

'Tis only 2 days since last acu treatment, see man.

Next acu treatment not till Monday afternoon, no man.

We fear for the weekend, GS activity, and prepping for pending house-guests, sigh man.

Morefurtherly, we have A Great Many% of all the symptoms of corticosteroid-withdrawal, shudder man.

Recovery is not typically swift and is uniformly unpleasant, no and si and sigh man.

Blood test for CPK (creatine phosphokinase) won't be available till Monday, no and sigh man.

We fear agony, sigh man.

Lying on heating-pad had zero effect, nada man.

We are drowning our sorrows by severely damaging a bag of potato cheaps, ingest man.

Immediately before, we drowned said sorrows by devouring the remaining Aldi-brand Oreo cookies, ingest man.

We are supposed, instead, to be drowning in Gatorade et al. by hydrating like a baastard, see man.

We have just polished off the last dregs of one such bottle, gulp man.

We are debating going downstairs for a virgin bottle of same, hmmm man.

Doing so would cause the cat to think that Daddy came to play with her, not feasible man.

Doing so would risk certain wasteful sequelae in the wee hours, weewee man.

Note to self, see here man: Do not (do not!) ever treat corticosteroids casually again, no man!

To add insult to injuriousness, the GS itinerary for Saturday is thin, sigh man.

Not a Good Friday, no man.

And what is Steveklar doing up at Many a.m., huh man?

The combination of cheaps and Oreos has bitten us in the stomach, ouch man.

Now that the above, uh, "issue" has been, uh, eliminated, we can say:

Cat prep and hoped-for zzz, man.

However, Mrs. T-B. is in the other room, intensely chattering away on the phone in Spanish, she man.

Mornin', Commie-babes!

Does it give you a headache? Listening to someone talk for a long time in another language always gives me a headache.

AYYYE! (like the fonz) JA (like ja ja gabore)

Kitt sh should not have been rude and I agree talking to store management. They may already be aware of her attitude and she may get written up. Granted in many states it seems like they can fire for no reason, but likely she'll get a talking to. Maybe she'll figure out it's not in her best interest to be a rude cow.
