Aw Hell Naw

Music: Motion Without Meaning by Thrice

I worked today, and had a real pisser of a time. I'm gonna wring the neck of the next customer who crosses me. This fucking asshole wouldn't shut the fuck up about Office 2003 tonight. He already ripped the system off once by buying the Student & Teacher Edition, when he definitely wasn't a student or a teacher. But no, that version was "holding him back," so he needed to upgrade to the Pro Edition, the Pro Edition that only differs in its inclusion of Access, a program he had to ask me about to know what it was even for, and Business Contacts Manager, a glorified address book. He wanted the cheaper Upgrade version instead of the Full, but to upgrade you need an upgrade-compatible product, something he did not have in the Student & Teacher Edition. I explained this in extremely simple language and he still didn't grasp it, and wanted me to fucking call Microsoft or another store or something to waste my time on something I was 100% sure on. He then flipped out and did the "I'm going to your competitors" dance and then attempted to insult me by asking if this was the kind of initiative I was supposed to take to help customers. Hey buddy, why don't you just download the pirated warez 7-disc version online that has even more extra programs like OneNote and Frontpage so you can have more wasted space you don't know what to do with, then go fuck yourself, in that order.

Motion isn't meaning
It’s just another drug
But it's all we've got
