Every muscle in my body aches from work last night.  I got called in two hours early.   What was I doing?  Cleaning the new store.  OH BOY, it's a far cry from the old store, it's at least 3 times bigger and there are so. many. coolers.   Yes that's what I was doing, cleaning, however also.  The new store's softlines is smaller, infinitely smaller.  I was amazed at how small the women's section is.  I did hear that when a store goes super center, all areas sort of downsize.    Maybe it looked small though  because there were no clothing hanging on the rack.  All shelves were empty, which means that when everyone comes in for stocking, it's going to be amazing seeing how the store fills.  This also means that I will be seeing something come from nothing which will be an awesome thing I think.

Cindy was just as intolerable as usual.  Basically since I was the only listening ear there, she bitched and moaned about how bad life was and gave me a lecture on how I wasn't a real women because I didn't want children.  Bitch, please.    Unlike some people I do not have to verify my life by how many small beings I can pop out of my cooter (I can't believe I just said that.. :smacks head:).   But anyways, there was also a small scufffle about my real name which she heard Jeannie call me by, and then I took her aside and went, "If you are not a.) my parents or b.) my boss, then I strongly suggest you do not call me ______."  and then came the response, "well I thought that was the one that you preferred" and I was like "No.. everyone in the store calls me by my preferred name, and since you are neither my parents or the one directly above me, then it is good enough for you to use."  and then I walked out.  

Woot for power of intimidation, and mark my ways she was intimidated.  Well I'm not going to let Cindy shove me around and think that she can say anything to me, that's not my style.   Not with people that I don't like.   Generally with people that I like, I'm too much of a pushover, but people I don't like.. they get no quarter from me.    

And whatever, if I'm less of a woman because I choose not to propagate the earth, well then so be it.. if that is a woman's only role in life, then I thoroughly reject it.  People like Cindy can bite me.

if one more person I work with tells me it's my "turn" to pop out spawn, I will stab a bitch. So many people at work think it's ok to call me by my given name, though my name tag says something different.

I just ignore them when they don't say "Rin"

WE MUST STAY STRONG WITH OUR ANTI-BREEDING, slightly anti-social, LIFE CHOICES! *cheeer*

My outstandingly insightful comment to this entry is this:

Having indeed populated the world with my spawn, which did not pop out of my vagina albeit, but was grown and carried by me, I can safely say that I still feel like a worthless human being. So, deriving ones value from the ability to reproduce is indeed a crock of shit.

Oh no, I wasn't offended really, well, I guess in a way I was offended that someone had the nerve to say you were less of a person for not having children on your own. And maybe just to share the fact that having them doesn't really make you womanly or female.

It is, because while it is difficult, there isn't really a special skill involved, other then a biological ability to be able to reproduce. It's not a method of verifying oneself and the more children one has, the less attention they can pay to each one.

"gave me a lecture on how I wasn't a real women because I didn't want children. Bitch, please. Unlike some people I do not have to verify my life by how many small beings I can pop out of my cooter "

I hate that crap. Why is it that women are thought of as selfish/cold-hearted, etc. when they don't want kids but when guys say it, it's totally fine? Is it because women carry the babies?? Or because society thinks women are the nurturing force and men just provide the sperm??? Because I have to say, my Dad was much more loving, much more patient, much more nurturing and taught me the importance of family ~ my mother was an abusive bitch, so if that's what they think, it isn't always the case.

I AGREE WITH YOU. Procreation is overrated and children are annoying.

Oh I hate it when people whine about, "when are you gonna have kids?" Ughghghghgh. I am not populating the earth with little Flurghs who are allergic to everything, asthmatic, and have lupus. It's not fun for me, so I can't imagine what joy these people see in passing on my poor genetics to new humans who certainly don't deserve to get screwed over from the start.
