I would honestly say that Ernest Saves Christmas is probably the only GOOD Ernest movie, even if I like Goes to Camp more (because of childhood memories). It's still pretty bad, but it's that special kind of bad that you can't help but smile at.

I said "hell" at work tonight and was told to watch my language.
this may be a challenge because outside of a preschool classroom who considers hell foul language? weird.

My wife posted on Facebook about us doing a book and I felt terrible yesterday when I got a call from my mom, who thought I'd gotten a book deal with a publisher and that it'd been posted on Facebook rather than telling her and others about it first. 
I didn't say it to her, but I almost felt offended that she'd think I'd be one of those who posts news to Facebook before saying anything. I hate when people do that shit. And then it becomes the only way to get info, so you end up finding out anything because someone's relationship status changed. You get to go "what the hell does that mean?" until you get on the phone and have real, active communication.

I ranted about two of my friends announcing engagements on facebook a little while back (I was drinking, so I posted it in the wrong rant thread by mistake).

Sometimes I swear you and I share the same brain.

I am really down that I might not get to go home for Christmas this year. My work has a tell us 60 days in advance if you need time off policy that they failed to tell me about. not that it matters since i havent even worked there that long. 
I miss my family and my pets. My mom decorated the tree herself, baked the goodies herself and I am here all by myself.
I am just so let down by it all. I am trying really hard to keep my holiday cheer but as my friends go back to their respective home towns and I am more and more alone I just feel awful.
My friend Robin invited me to Christmas dinner at her inlaws place and I am very happy they invited me, even though I dont know them well and worry it will be awkward, but I am glad I wont be alone.
I guess to put a blunt point on it I am sad and lonely.
Cue the violins.

Ive never missed a Christmas before either
I just can't afford to risk my job it took me so long to find one. I try to be happy that at least I am not living in the dorm, and I am very much, but it still hurts not being able to share my family's traditions with them.
Of course my sister missed last Christmas because she was in jail so she is really excited to go home. If I cant drive her she is taking the bus. I hope they have fun at least. sigh.

I've never missed family Christmas, but we've moved our Family Christmas around plenty because we dont' want to have Christmas without everyone there.
Last year my family had our Christmas in mid January, this year will be the same. Growing up, "Christmas" was usually on the 26th, 27th, or 28th. Though sometimes it'd be on like the 23rd. I've experienced few Christmases on Christmas.

Oh I submitted the request that's when I found out about the policy. So right now it is not a request for time off it is a request for a shift swap, so I am at the mercy of someone else taking my shift. It doesn't seem like that is going to happen
And I did find someone else to hang out with on Christmas I mentioned that. I'll be hanging with my friend Robin and her in-laws.
Okay people. There is no need to be rude asses just because you've put your Christmas shopping until two weeks before Christmas. Yes, we will have run out of some stuff that we advertised for Black Friday, we WANT to run out of it. We can't guarantee that it will be back in stock before Christmas, all the shipping methods are getting backed up now with the extra pressure of Christmas. So, just take a deep breath, calm down, and actually let me do my job and find something else that may work for you, don't just immediately start with "WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THIS IN STOCK!" and get louder from there. Volume doesn't help your position, it just means that everyone in the store can hear you being an ass.
I think I saw that movie.

for some reason I thought of Jingle All the Way
and I blame you for that.
and I blame you for that.
I feel this is more minor fail than rant... just discovering that online my wife is one of those who refers to Lady Gaga as "Mother Monster". :/
What is the menaing of this phrase, and why has it caused you to rant?
I fear there is a lot about Lady Gaga I do not fully understand!
Lady Gaga refers to her fans as little monsters, and has appointed herself the mother monster. It's just very... tween to me.

At volume 11, evidently.
Went grocery shopping today. Got in line and waited, got nearly up to the cash, cash closed and everyone had to move to another register. Now everyone who was behind me is in front of me. Get nearly up to the register, and the cash closes, and we have to relocate to another register. Now everyone who was behind me is in front of me again. Spent maybe 5 minutes shopping, but closer to twenty in line.
I do this too. Mainly because it seems nobody bothers to teach cashiers how to pack bags anymore.
But the two grocery stores closest to where I'm currently living don't have those.
That's because they are doing two jobs for the price of one. Remember, many stores still employ baggers explicitly because it saves lane time. For instance, Krogers and the Giant Eagle Marketplaces still have baggers.
The two main chains in town have opposite outlooks on the self-serve checkouts at night. One closes them all at 9pm, and you have to go through a real cashier. The other only offers self-serve after 10pm or so. No live cashiers except the one overseeing all the self-serve lanes.
The Krogers down here hire a lot of "special needs" folks, who would have a hard time finding jobs elsewhere. They do a damned fine job of it, too. Beats the hell out of having some disinterested teen handling my groceries.
Really? Where? I never see them when I visit these chains here.
In Canada, most grocery stores don't employ baggers. Or at least in Ontario. I really shouldn't presume to speak for every province. I actually can't think of one that uses baggers as well as cashiers. Whole Foods, maybe? Sometimes around Christmas some stores have baggers. Both grocery stores you mentioned, we don't have in Canada. Never heard of 'em.
Many of them get you to bag for yourself now. You usually have to pay extra five cents for each bag to boot, to encourage people to use reusable bags.
But that was really just my grumpy surly "They don't do it the way I like, harumph!" As long as they don't put the bread on the bottom, I don't really care too much, and like I said, most grocery stores here get you to bag your own groceries now.
