Don't get me wrong, I'm rather fond of the two new people. Even though I'm pretty sure they're both older than I am, I've gotten to play senpai lately, and I'm really enjoying it. But I could not find a freakin' parking space this morning. I've been working here for more than a year, and this is the first time I've had to spend any time finding a parking space, let alone fifteen freakin' minutes.
You laugh and/or roll your eyes, but there's a grand total of three small businesses in this area: us, a divorce lawyer, and a three-person mortgage company. So either our little business is about to outgrow its home, or a lot of people are in very, very unhappy living situations.
And now I'm glaring out the window because I parked far enough away on the gravel to allow the person in front of me to get out easily, and a little compact car has wedged itself in there. Ass.
Are you going to Katsucon?
First: No, because of distance/location complaints / conflicts: 23% each
Note: Nobody who chose the stalker one left any contact information, so I've recruited two bodyguards. You think I'm joking.
Yes, for part of the weekend / No, because I don't want to: 3% each
Uncreativity: Any variation of 'Not enough money' -- partly my fault for forgetting that everyone who reads my comic lives in a cardboard box, but -20 nonetheless.
Points
* 'Phffft, ill have my own Con, with black jack, and stripers... infact, screw the con!': +10 for own con; -10, lame attempt to reference comic title; -5, candy-stripers are boring.
* 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme....': -10 for trying to be clever; -20 for falling into the uncreativity category.
* 'Only if I can ply you with free rum... and Twinkies.': +50 if I'm given then separately; -100 if I disapprove of what you're plying me for, and I keep the rum and Twinkies.
* '...but it's on my birthday, Kara!!': -200; the Co-Writer with the Longest Hair's birthday is the next day, and mine is six days after, and it hasn't stopped either of us! (-100 more if this is Co-Writer griping, because people actually notice your birthday ... also, -1 present.)
* 'Yes, for the whole weekend as someone who helped start the whole shebang...haven't missed one yet.': +50 by way of thanks: +200 pity-points.
Correct Answer: 'I could, but I think going to "fried pork" con conflicts with keeping kosher.'
Ooh, I took a lot of points this week. Not a bad mood, just feeling wicked because I didn't get my City of Villains fix last night and I need an outlet for my cackling evil. New poll, though. If you have been, think harder.
