Ugh, I hate graveyard shifts!

[SG15Z]

So once again I find myself doing the overnight shift, and again like in Valentines Day I'm out in a tent in our parking lot selling flowers. Thankfully I had my laptop and was able to sit there and chat most of the night on IM and the CS chat room. And of course played Spore!

No I'm just decoration

SC: "Man you have to be here all night!"
Me: "Yep"
SC: "That sucks."

Indeed, thanks for supporting this brilliant idea of corporates b buying flowers for you mom at 1 in the morning. For some reason I don't feel you being so sincere at your attempt at empathy. Please go away so I can continue my quest to destroy the Grox!

It mean I don't like you

"What does yellow mean?"

Huh? You mean yellow flowers when presented as a gift? How should I know? I'm just a cashier I know nothing of what color represents what.

She'd like you to stop asking stupid questions

"What do you think she'll like?'

How the should I know!? I don't even know who "she" is. I know less about her likes and dislikes than you do, therefor I should be the one asking you, not vice versa.

Drunks can be entertaining

So there I am, chatting in the chat room when I hear a group of college age guys across the parking lot. They are clearly intoxicated. They converse with each other very loudly, and then get bored. So they all hop in a truck do a donut or 2 then speed off down the street. Then I see the pretty colors of red and blue follow them. I must say I quite enjoyed watching that.



And that's about it. It was really slow and boring. Now I got to get my sleep schedule back on track as I switch back to day shifts.

Hehe, Drunks at 24 hour McD's are so much more fun! I started to lose count of how many times I got asked out. But I guess being in the middle of a city between most of the pubs/clubs and the student area of town meant that we were kept extremely busy all night. I did not wish to experience a quiet night.

I'm glad you managed to keep yourself occupied though

IIRC, red/pink flowers were love (in different forms), white was peace or for funerals (I think...) and yellow was for friendship?

You had your laptop so a quick search on google would have fixed that.
But damn, if ya did, then the customer would have been up your ass or corporate's ass for "playing on the internet", so by not doing anything, you did good.

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

lucky... even drunk no one seems to want to ask me out at work

you know, not that I could accept (or would want to) but it's still nice to be desired

Well at gay clubs, a yellow hanky in your back pocket means you're into water sports; right=giving, left=receiving.
Maybe yellow flowers mean the same. hehehe

Yellow means friendship... just so you know

I will have to keep that in mind... don't want to get my pockets mixed up

I never get asked out....

Not that I want a date or anything, I would just like to be desired...Nobody loves me!!

Thanks, I'll remember to never go into a gay bar (which will probably never happen) with handkerchiefs in my back pockets. Very useful information, you know just in case.

Here's a link to a Flower Language sight I found:

A quick look through the first few letter looks like most yellow flowers are some form of rejection/spurning. Possibly a bad choice for Mom, hmm?

Add: Looks like some yellow flowers are nicer than others. Depends on the flower.

Don't bet on that list being the only list.

I once did an article on the Language of Fans, and one thing I noted was that different regions had different meanings for the same motions. And even in the same region, the meanings shifted over time.

I made a comment that if you were planning to use a fan to communitcate, it would be best to make sure anyone you tried to 'speak to' was using the same dialect.

Fair enough, but for a quick internet search that's what you get. Real research costs money.

That's just for roses, and why I normally buy my wife red or orange.

Working graveyard shifts suck, but on the bright side you have little to no members of management up your ass all day (especially the ones on the higher rungs of the ladder) and you can chill out.
