Happy New Year everyone!

Took this meme from a lot of other friends on my f-list.

1. Where did you begin 2014?
At home with my fiance, he dead to the world, me wide awake. :)

2. What did you do in 2014 that you'd never done before?
Planned a wedding.

3. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I kept a few, but not the bulk of them. I already did a post about this, but I'll be making some of the same resolutions as last year - lose weight, watch more movies and tv, go to the doctor, etc.

4. Were you in school (anytime this year)?
No.

quichey asked me to discuss anything I wanted for December 19th.

So I guess have some work musings. I've worked in retail on and off for over ten years, and I've been shopping for much longer than that and I've never figured out the habit of people all coming to check out en masse at the same time. I mean, I get it at a crowded supermarket when there's so many people, so there are always people at the registers. It happens when I'm a customer. But at Cracker Barrel, even though there can be a lot of people there, it still confuses me how we can have customers come to the register one at a time, or have these long lulls, with no one around, and then bam, all of a sudden there's a line a half mile long.

Why do some people think it's okay to throw their bills at you? It hasn't happened to often at CB because the customers are generally nice, but it still happens. I know sometimes it's an accident but when it's not it just ticks me off. It doesn't take much effort to just hand it to me.

I'm not sure why people insist that smiling only counts when you display some teeth. I suppose some people only consider it a grin if you don't smile with all of your pearly whites on display. I've even looked up the definition of "smile" and the usage of teeth is not involved, but according to many at work, apparently that's their definition because I've been told that I never smile. I'm not a big toothy grin person, not unless I'm really happy. I get self-conscious because when I smile big, there's a lot of my gums on display and I don't like how it looks and my mom's even told me that it looks odd, so I get self-conscious and I don't usually smile that big. But I am polite and do smile at work. But it seems unless I'm smiling a loon, at all times, it doesn't count. People are constantly asking me what's wrong. I guess I just have one of those faces, that unless I'm smiling I look like I want to murder people.

I'm a pretty quiet talker, so a lot of people don't hear me when I talk, but there are also a lot of older customers at our store, so this doesn't just happen to me - but I love it when I ask someone how there day was and there response is "yep." Sometimes they just haven't heard yeah, and sometimes they have and that's still there response. I don't know why, but that makes me laugh.

I'm really sick of the music at our store. I'm not a big fan of country music in the first place, but the songs we have aren't just especially annoying because they're country, but they're played on an incessant loop. I'm starting to hear some of the songs in my dreams, which...grrr.

Sometimes I don't get how I'm, basically anyway, a writer and love to come up with words for stories, and yet somehow words escape me when I'm on the phone. I've had some awkward times at work when I've answered calls, and simple words like "employee" and "soup" seem to escape the grasp of my brain.

On the good side, I am starting to get the hang of being on the register and dealing with things like returns and upselling certain items.

So I guess those are all my work gripes for now. It could be worse. Not my favorite job ever, but it'll do for now.

unbidden_truthasked: When did you first discover fandom? (or if it's easier, when did you first fall in love with Merlin?) for the 12th :)

First of all, sorry for the lateness. Secondly, I can answer both questions. :)

My family was a lot behind the times when it came to getting a computer and having access to the internet. I think I was well into high school when we got AOL. At first I just used it for chatrooms and discussing movies. It wasn't until I fell in love with this couple, Zander and Emily, on my favorite soap General Hospital that I started going to different message boards to discuss the show and particularly that couple. I guess that was really the first time I discovered online communities and ventured into the fandom side of things. It was really fun (though I did become unhealthily obsessed for a time) and a made some really good friends.

Falling in love with Merlin,if we're talking about the whole show, was kind of a gradual thing. The first time I saw a vid of Merlin/Arthur I was instantly intrigued and when I saw the show for the first time I liked it, and definitely fell more in love with Merlin/Arthur, but I didn't love it at first. I actually don't think I fell fully in love with the show until the fourth series. The first few episodes of that season were so amazing (thanks to some great Merlin/Arthur scenes) that I definitely fell fully in love with the show and that's when I really started to become involved in the fandom side of things.

blue_eyed_1987 asked : Tell me your favourite thing about this time of year for the 5th :)

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the question, it really made me think and discover something I hadn't realized.

When I was a kid, I didn't get to celebrate the holidays, so my favorite part about this time of year was Winter Break from school and not having to get up early to go to school.

Now, one of my favorite things is it getting colder. Living in Florida, the constant heat you sort of get used to but I really enjoy the respite when the temperature starts going down.

But I think my favorite thing is the traditions. I'm not someone who's great with a lot of change and I find comfort in the traditions and how, while there are changes, so much stays the same - listening to the same music, watching my favorite Holiday movies...It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. And now that I'm starting my own family, I'm enjoying sharing those traditions and creating new ones.
