Akyho

This is in my head all the time since Friday and my god am I glad it is. (long story short, major shit has been going down at my job.) so it is a great thing to have this song just in my head blocking some horrible voices (one being the abusive customer at my work screaming at me) and I keep going back to it,

Reposting since the last one is broken and holy fuck is that cloud going to get full come the end of this serise, cos....its JoJo!!!

AWWW cmon the other video is broke now!!!

Also.....BITE ZA DUSTO! version which now understanding what Bite the Dust is...makes total sense.........

Maaaaan JoJo IS JUST SOOOOOOOOO GOOD and aside from the last op which was garbage, all the other ops are amazing yet this may be the best so far!

@ripelivejam:

And "IT'S THE COLETRAIN BABY!!! WOOOAAAAHHH!"

Gears of war 1 "DAD! DAD! DAD! DAD!"

Gears of war 2 "WIFE! WIFE! WIFE! WIFE!"

Gears of war 3 "DAD! DAD! DAD! DAD!"

That's all the story I remember.

@naoiko: Eh just gotta try and have my company deal with stuff. Spent the day at work but at a diffrent location, everyone there to were going "HOW DID YOU PUT UP WITH ANY OF THIS!?" which I just went "Eh....."

@soulcake: @naoiko:

They came by (boss still to meet with them) shouted at me and threatened me and even said "You and me after work outside, then I will show you what abuse is.", sooooooo I got to see what the inside of a police car looks like as they held me for my own safety and had my boss pick me up.....faaantastic. Awesome.....great times, sigh.

@ghost_cat: @zombievac: @naoiko:

Oh yeah I mean work place I am fine, its just the social aspect thats the bitch part, however everyone is taking my side it seems so I am not having to worry. The other thing is dudes....I worked/ran a charity shop years ago and I am in scotland....THIEVES EVERYWHERE. The amount of people shouting me in my face as I stay calm asking them to remove themselves from the shop then say "I am going to call the police" then reach for the phone to have them go "Ok ok...I am going."

Had folks with half the shop up their jumper as I tell them "Its obviouse...leave the items and I will not call the police, just know you are not welcomed to shop here."

So yeah I am used to crazies just not crazies that make everyone around their "friends" actualy nah.....I am used to that from the charity shop (Some of the volunteers were weiiiiiiiiirrrreeeeddd) except I honestly did not care about what people thought about me.

@sanity: @naoiko: @maginnovision: So uh the husband yesterday asked to pay for his Tea the next day and his wife was with him as well, I kind of thought about these comments and went "Ok maybe I am uptight...but I still have a job to do." so I said "ok just make sure to pay tomorrow."

Today just the wife came down and she asked for her order and I asked "Will you be paying what your husband owes today?" it was a simple yes or no.....she blew up said "That's shocking asking someone else to pay for them! You're going to have to take that up with HIM!" PS he never carries money only she does she will have to pay if he said ok, I said calmly "Oh sorry ok I will take it up with him, just untill then I can't serve him." I would probably not have said that if she had not blew up on me, however this is normal for all shops, yet I was also not going to be socially engineered into letting them get away with it. She said it was disgraceful got angrier then went outside and phone her husband. Which when she came back she said "He calls you a cunt!" which I replied and I am not joking I did say "Woah that escalated quickly." then she came back "You're an arse and letting the power to go your head!" again...I am trying to keep my job and not let non staff in staff areas as well as actualy run the place like a normal business.... then she shouted "You've been such a cunt and in a mood!" my mood was their abuse and bullying getting to me, as well as abuse of the work place and even abuse to other people. "You can fucking pay for the work they did on your fucking bike ye cunt! HE CHARGES FULL PRICE FOR SERVICES be ready!" which.....I just asked for advice on how to tighten my brake lines and instead they did it for me 2 minute job....which it was just the husband and one other guy which the other guys is the actual mechanic, at max £6?. The wife just then made it to clear the husband talks very nastily behind my back and did not like me even just asking, yet was completely nice to my face, despite him telling me to ONLY ever come to them for bike stuff (I already decided to switch two weeks ago cos they're weird.)

So she thinks I asked them to do a full service.....I dunno. has called me a cunt three times and so I said "Sure, but John never asked for anything and I will pay whatever he says." very calmly, she then said she was going to report me to my boss....which she just called me a cunt while in the workplace three times now so I said "Sure, but uuuh...your barred.....I refuse to serve you for verbal abuse in the workplace..." she just replied "You fucking arse! Let the power to your head! You're just a fucking lackey!" still dosnt mean I should her abuse.

So she is going to "Email" my bosses boss...which is actualy more my boss, she even hired me, set me up to run the place told me to she wanted it autonomous (Which I have done) and she is the one that deals with me. My direct boss is just for the small stuff. So I visited my direct boss reported the incident and since the regulars are already on the radar for bad behaviour and I have been doing a good job...or decent job my bosses are behind me so it should resolve in me never ever having to deal with the Regulars.....either by them being banned (which since first day told to run the place they warned me about them.) oooooooor I get fired. *shrug*

So eh...yeah I told everyone "When I do stand my ground...its going to be world war 3" BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM its world war 3.

Hopefully I am still around this time last year to go "Lols I had to bar two idiots last year."

I got a new job back in May it was a seasonal job which was the same company I worked for last year as a casual. This time I am full time given a place to be in charge of with a fellow colleague and we run the place top to bottom (mostly by our selves) it is a very small cafe/gift shop at a tourist site. We are social and hard working on our own, yet I fear for the other people in the social circle as I see right through the sociopaths and yet my colleagues do so a degree yet they forget...I do not forget. I stew over every wrong doing they do to me or other for three days (takes me that long to forgot tbh) yet I remember and I do not let people repeat wrongs.

Brace yourself its a long one......this is only like a few things I have a tonne more...they are at my work ALMOST EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS!

We have two regulars that I never met last year and yet I came in this year (without the authority) and met them. They are charming nice and very warm people, they made friends with me and my colleague as we took over the place to run better than before as per our bosses wish. So of course I had no reason to question things, in past they got discounts and special treatment and well I was new didn't want to rock the boat so I followed suit and had no authority.

Eventually I got the authority and yet I was already hooked in, slowly but surley I started to question the regulars...they say one thing but never mean it, they give you a rule book on how to treat them and its never right. They tell outlandish stories which others did not question yet I did, then the facts come. They helped me alot with my bike and getting into cycling so I could commute to work.

They told 6 stories about me and my colleague to a new guy covering for us. Yet those 6 stories were now combined into one...with all the name places and times mixed up completely. I kept correcting them "No that was not, that happened the month before...that happened before I was hired...that wasn't her....that wasn't him.....she never said that." they ignored me as I corrected them and said the correct names and places. All the while the new guy is confused.

So I am going "ok they have shit memories so do I, no real harm...except all the bad stuff in these stories were getting dumped on the past colleagues who were running the place...when in fact some of these bad things were me...and I admit these faults happened due to me. Yet all these good things are me and my colleague when half of them was not, they were the old co workers...." I tried to correct them yet when they did engage me they just blew me off and said I remembered wrong. The two fo them would swear by each other and go "Nah you have it wrong." so its two against one....telling me WHAT I DID AND DID NOT DO.

I am getting a strong vibe of sociopathy yet had not put a word to it at that time.

The time I realised they were getting very dangerous was when I was making them coffee and they asked to put it on their tab and they will pay tomorrow...my college at the time was part of the older crew and she was never comfortable doing such and voiced as so, I trusted her and I wasn't comfortable with it either yet apparently they owed from the day before. So I said "Sorry you have to settle from yesterday or its getting too messy. I honestly do not like doing it anyways." it was then one pulled a little card out to play almost instantly "Remember those cycling shorts, mind ye still owe us 10 for them...." she said snippily. I vaguely remember it and I had 10 in my back pocket rare, so I destroyed her card by going "Well here you go..." she was instantly happy thinking she had manipulated me (she did yet she did not make me feel guilty like she wanted too) I won in the game of "Shut up" yet lost in the game of manipulation. It paid for the drinks and things were calm for a while.

Another incident of danger was when I decided to open up and complain to her about the old manager of the place ( worked under them and I never agreed with their choices...and neither did the bosses...they agree with my choices and they fucking ecstatic with how the place is run this year anyways.) and how my old manager treated me strangely (I was studying hospitality had was making the exact same coffees on three diffrent kinds of machines at college, yet my manager banned me from making coffees...despite being more trained than the 16 year olds she would put on the machine..I was 26 at the time) the wife regular she just ignored that at attacked me instead as she was friendly with the old manager (WHO STILL PHONES UP AND TELL ME HOW TO DO THE JOB! The job of which I am doing waaay better than she was doing, She would always tell me how to do everything yet left 16 years olds with one instruction and that was it.)

Complained about the micromanagement to me alone and her reply was to ignore it an attack it me. Saying "Well I could have been your manager....." I just brushed her off and said "yeah......possible." then she followed with "Well your not so perfect yourself." I confused yet always receptive of criticism asked "Oh right sorry, what did I do wrong?" she them told a story that never happened...at least with myself. Supposedly when collecting the chairs outside, some kids were on them and with no parents around I shouted and pointed "MOVE!" my instant reaction was utter disbelief as this is not at all in my nature, I cannot do such a thing. I even have a hard time trying to verbally replicate it in an authentic manner as It is simply not in my nature or character. I let her get to me and just kept shouting out "noooo...naaahhh thats not me.....I cant. I wouldn't." she then got very angry saying "ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR!" and my reply was "I am saying you misremember, that was not me. I do not remember and I have never done anything similar... and thus...I never did it. Maybe you saw someone else and thought it was me." then we were just in silence as I cleaned up the place.

That kind of lies is very dangerous when it involves work and more so now as I keep standing up to them, I am on their black list and the people I call friends and colleague they keep trying to turn against me. They do not seem to be taking the bait to be honest yet I do knot they have not rejected the regulars in the same fashion as I...which why I am not the social pariah.

I mean when I am doing my job and they start saying to the friends "He is becoming an arse, acting like the manager, trying to brown nose his bosses."....I have this reputation with them because one day my boss phoned a closing "Hi so I will be coming down to visit tomorrow." which I think "ooooh shit...gotta make sure the place is perfect for her in the morning..." then she said "and my boss coming doing." so I have my boss and her boss to deal with and then she said "If you could reeeaaly make sure the place is clean and nice and orderly it would be great."

Funfact It was a busy day and honestly no fucker had cleaned some corners in months so I borrowed a steam cleaner and spent three extra hour doing extra cleaning after telling my colleague was free to leave once the regular cleaning was done, I called it quits and went home. It was my day off and I came down to wash the windows and do a few things I missed the night before. I did this so my colleagues would not have to do it or get bitched at by our boss, it was a super busy day and they physically could not do it for the amount of customers. My boss never came and neither did her boss, so it was all a wasted effort, naturally I was peeved and I got over it.

The regulars however called me a brown noser and suck up, trying to win points with the boss...I was trying to keep my job and have my colleagues keep theirs with no stress....also I work in a food environment...if you do not clean right Environmental health comes and kicks your ass....and your bosses and bosses boss and so on. Good cleaning is important, yet they could not understand this....I was doing it to be "nice" I was doing it for "no reward" they simply did not understand.

My boss never knows the good or the bad that happens, all they see is the figures and no one complains to us. So we are totally on our own we get no credit yet we also get no grief, so how the fuck am I supposed to be brown nosing people who I cant get them to see my nose up their ass?

Same thing happened last week, my college had to rush off to get a friend from the airport and I said "Nah you can go, I can survive by myself your friend needs help now." so I had to clean up by myself...yet we also had a secret dinner the regulars were not invited too as alot of us are sick of them and the last dinner with them was actualy kinda embarrassing and jesus fuck was it loud.

I am alone cleaning up a super busy day and taking my time, the regulars hang around all this time and I even said to cover my ass "I am doing a bit fo a deep clean." again I was doing this...and again ITS FUCKING HEALTH AND SAFETY!

This comes back to things the next day by the way the dinner was great without them.....next day the dinners plans wednesday (today) they texted my friend who set it up saying "Nah we are not going to dinner, Richard is trying to score points." they actualy brought my work ethic into social life, what I do for work to keep mines and others jobs....others are punished in a social setting. To be honest the dinner was their plan and no one has even thought about it untill this came up and since everyone who was going to their dinner went to the secret dinner, we were all on the same page of "Oh thank fuck for that."

So in a weird way I am a hero by saving us all the pain...yet they are getting worse and worse and soon enough they are going to cost me my job...EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST PERSON who was sort of Manager and not realy. Me and my friend/co worker we are both just sales assistants yet we both have the same responsibility to run the shop, the last person also was just sales assistant with that responsibility. The regulars got her fired, not because they wanted to because they treated the workplace like their own place, free coffee and other stuff and coming into the kitchen and just yeah....their customers (sadly I have let them in the kitchen aswell....well they got in and I didn't say anything, and I am not going to have to stop that as more non employees are coming into the kitchen and its just a fucking joke now, if the wrong people see such them fuuuuuck me I am going to get fucking hung and I will have a few extra bodies join me as Coworkers get strung up too.) so alot of stuff like that got the last person hassled by bosses and interrogated which led to her going off sick with stress and just horrible.

When I came into the job with my new responsibilities and authority my boss and the HR leader visited us and had a chat saying "Watch out about giving to much info to people, we had to investigate people down here for talking too much." this was a slight warning to us...followed with then telling us that the two regulars I currently have issue with sent an email knowing too much about the company....info only employees have. Right from the start I had my guard up...let them melt it and now I have it up and its never going down. I mean...I think I could actualy go to my boss and ban them....yet that's going to fucking ruin the social life and might be me as the bad guy.

Essentially because for four things they hate me, I am part of the authority, I reject them, I see through them, and I set them straight when they're wrong.

Everyone else may not follow yet they do let them walk over them and yet I am starting to get worried they are following or are in fear of them, I too was at one point and I keep warning people yet now I know all the red flags I am honestly scared and worried...not for me (well my job) I have dealt with people like this. Which is normally "Naaaah am fine." or "oh sorry cant help." "I have plans." "That? sorry I lost that a year ago..." "sorry can't loan you any money barely got any myself!" and giving them no emotional response and boring the shit out of them. Like I say I know the script, the problem is this is the first time I have other people I care about to worry about with them. I do warm them and now I have the proper word I shall be saying "SOOOOCIOPATHS! THEY ARE UTTER SOCIOPATHS!" yet never to the regulars.....fucking that's going to be an explosion of denial followed with them forgetting and us all remembering.

This week on JoJo

I loved that image when I saw it....I even showed it to a person with passing knowledge of anime I said "It going to take a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time to explain that is going on here."

Decided to steal your questions.

Anime that I bought on a whim: Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex...sooo I dislike GITS 1995 for directorial reasons and at this point I had ready GITS the Manga...yet I onlyknew SAC was good....SO I SPENT £50 ON THE ENTIRE FIRST GIG! I loved it........I did not love Gig 2.

Anime that disturbed me as a child: Akira.....and Battle Angel Alita. However I now LOVE! Battle Angel.....I am not keen on Akira.

Anime I used to like but now wonder, "What did I see in this?": Moldiver....its a pretty terrible super sentai parody anime..... oh and Love Hina...Love hina is terrible nowadays, Tenchi Muyo...still awesome.

Wild card: STRAIN is was a not so good mecha anime thing yet it was pretty cool on the Einstien Theory of relativity time bends around space stuff. Like Gunbuster...but not as good. I got a bit obessed with it despite also saying "uuuugh this is not all that good."

Lesser known movie: Dark Myth....NEVER WATCH IT! ITS SUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER BORING! JESUS! SO BORING!. Also Spriggan....its not realy boring only slightly.

Favourite lesser-known Miyazaki movie: Porco Rosso its just so much fun with a decent story.

Fave lesser known Ghibli movie: Only yesterday I love it for giving that true summer feel.

Fave anime with huge robot thingies: This is hard.......Code Geass is awesome...yet I ADORE! Nadesico................

Anime I need to refresh my memory on: bit of a weird throw out yet I feel I need to refresh myself on Fruits Basket.....I know thats weird.

Anime I need to see: Berserk. How much it apparently inspired Dark Souls has intrigued me greatly. My girlfriend says it's amazing, also, so I should check it out soon.

Anime game that is a rough but hidden gem: I think all I can think is Ghost inthe Shell Stand Alone Complex for the PS2....what I know I hate GITS 1995 yet I baught ALL STUFF involving SAC...I own all the OSTS even the game's OST.

Most disappointing anime: I cannot remember is was so disappointing yet I cannot remember it. Trying to remember it....wait no I was thinking a book. Yet.....oh wait Blue Gender, it was very meh.

Favourite western 2D animation: I dunno I love too much.

Anime my friend loves that makes me cringe: Thats alot of like everyone's tastes.

I uploaded my AMV Hell 7 clips both accepted and rejected as I weirdly enjoy watching my own clips and looking at all the little nuisances I got into the clip, some are bad yet most are good in my opinion.

So I thought I would throw them down here for a laugh.

This was my first ever clip edited, I completely forced it. Concept and everything....came out pretty good considering all the version I had and trying to nail timing. It was also accepted in AMV Hell 7 and had good reception.

This clip I had the idea I put it together and did a few tweaks...yet it was a bit long and it just wasnt funny....then I smashed the last part of the thugs face close up in proper timing with music the knife and everythingl...I laughed at my own thing. I am still watching it and finding little cool things I did not even mean. The knives seem pretty synched with the music as well!

Second clip and second acceptance.

This was a concept I just did and I enjoyed the timing I was able to pull off with the lasers. Alot of clips much like this in AMV Hell just never try to use the music with the clip and just the words.

Third clip ever made and third accepted.

This was a AMV Hell Mini's Challenge clip, the concept was the 80s. It was a little competition and it taken two years to see any one comment about my clip which is mostly "WHATS THE ANIME FOR THE COOL GOLD ROBOT!?" I like the clip yet I ruined the start with timing and such. I was obsessed with lip syncing and so I put the start in when I should not. I like the clip yet its not funny its just a little nice.

This clip from Legend of Galactic Heroes seems to be the one clip everyone likes. I enjoyed making it the concept was plated by another AMV Hell Editor who said "Why not do this idea...you can have it." so I ran with this and I think it was well edited and nice. There is two puns here, one for "I want you to get mad!" and he did...by hitting her. The other is SO MANY PEOPLE THE NEXT LINE WHICH IS "I am mad as hell and I am not gonna take it!" so if you catch onto that then its also funny, the guy preemptively stopping the MEME line.

This.....this was just a clip I did and never submitted cos I knew it was not great.

This was somthing I enjoyed yet because In the navy gets used alot in AMV Hell circles it was rejected on that grounds.

This clip is terrible quality and I like the idea yet it never came together.
