It never ceases to amaze me how people think having to wait in a customer service setting gives them every right to be a gigantic fucking douchebag to the employees.
I worked at a toy store xmas eve for years. I know this pain.
There are some people out there who believe that being terrible will intimidate workers into obsequiousness. I took great joy in these folks and I'll tell you why:
While being forced to taste this transferred self hate, I try not to dwell on it and rather luxuriate that my problems are insignificant compared to this Nuthatch who is berating a worker earning minimum wage and no health benefits over only getting store credit for the utterly destroyed toy you bought three months ago.
It always makes me wonder why a frustrated person thinks frustrating someone else will help get what they want from that newly frustrated worker.
"I wasn't going to bend the rules for you, but now that you cussed out my Momma, okay."
Yeah. Upon getting his food and an apology for the delay, a gentleman informed the guy behind the counter that he was lucky he got his food then otherwise he was going to "come back there and get it myself". It'd be one thing if the employees had been standing around, but they were all busting ass the whole time I was there.

See, I bet that guy was on the brink of starvation or diabetic event; that would explain his hysteria due to the multi-minute delay in having prepared food placed in front of him.
They are blind to the normal folks; you ever seen an aszhole with eyes?
Is $150 too much to pay someone to paint a dresser? I'm torn.
Depends on the size and design. If this is a big-ass bureau you'd need two or three burly men to move, or some hippy-drippy design like Monie's nightstand, then no. If this is a solid colour on a small or medium piece, I would go to Home Depot and do it for you for half that price.
Please, please, pretty pretty please, if you have an ounce of love or whatever for me, DO NOT POST spiders photos in the Random Thoughts thread without spoilers. We have a spiders vs snakes thread somewhere. Please post them there. My arachnophobia will be the death of me one day.

And now I really can't go to sleep. Sigh.
Don't look at Veuixcareen's snapchat story then.
I was about to post that. Fucker is scary, large and in my porch.

Did you ever realise that your panda stops me from sleeping every night? Bears are waaaay scarier than spiders. And those creepy staring eyes, black as his soul, like in some Japanese horror flick... *shudder*. I can squish a huge spider, but even a baby panda could take me down.
I'm at the dentist, waiting for my mouth to be completely numb before a filling is done. And I really just wish the schedule was out now so I could think about that instead of the snow and the fact that I'm tired and hungry.
On the bright side, Elton just came on while I wait.

How big is the dresser/how long do you think it will take them to paint it? And are they just going to paint it a solid color, or are they going to do something fancy to it?
It's a standard old 8 drawer dresser (41x42x18). Solid color with the handles a different color. I honestly have no idea how long it takes to do something like that, haha.
The folks have a shop where they sell refinished furniture and it all looked much better than I could do. But the price still seems about $50 out of my comfort zone, I'm wondering if I am just being cheap or if that's a reasonable cost.
Poor Purity Ring. They couldn't sell out the venue in Munich but Itchy Poopzkid did.
I know Purity Ring's recent album wasn't that highly praised, but I still dig them and am going to see them in a month AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME. Also they did sell out two back to back shows in DC, like two months in advance. Idk why people hated "another eternity" so much
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

You are not cheap. It sounds steep to me. If they are sanding and refinishing it, that is TOTALLY different from painting it. Sanding and refinishing might be worth it, but not just painting. I am cheap though, and to pay $150 sounds high to me.
Made it into my office for a bit today. I forgot to bring my ice packs, so I am totally using frozen hot pockets on my knees. Don't know whose they are, but they are doing the job. Fun times.

How much would a new one that is aprox the same cost?

is it currently painted, or it is stained/varnished?
my wife flips furniture for fun (and profit!) and in her experience the people who own/run stores think their leno don't stink and over-charge by huge margins. the hardest part of that job will be sanding down whatever is currently the outer layer of the dresser. If it is already painted and you just want it a different color, that may not be necessary unless the current paint job is peeling/crappy, etc. (though sanding first will yield the absolute best results) If there is a varnish on there it will probably need to be sanded down otherwise the paint won't really take and it will look bad. sanding can be a pain without an electric sander or a large open (outdoor) area for all the sand dust to go . I wouldn't pay someone $150 just to paint that dresser; it is pretty small and would take about half an hour per coat (number of coats dependent on the new and old color and its coverage). if they are going to sand it down and actually refinish th epiece, then $150 may be worth it. is it an antique? solid wood?

Concentration has became so difficult for me. Had my phone interview for a dream internship 2 - 3 weeks ago, they got back in contact with me about a week later and said they wanted to setup a face-to-face meeting which went down Monday. Told me they would be in contact at the end of next week with a decision. About 10 people landed a phone interview, 3 of which (including me) was invited for a face-to-face meeting.
I just need to know if I should start preparing to move down to NC for the summer with my aunt or start looking for something else. I know it would be wise to do a little bit of both, but that is a lot easier said than done.
I also have a final project that I have put on the back burner for awhile now. It's due on Friday.
