So today we got out of the car after Karu and Serena had a talk in the car about upcoming things (like the house closing and all the packing and decluttering that will need to be done) and to wait out the worst of the rain. It was cold and dreary and a fine drizzle when Karu and Serena decided to finally head in despite not wanting to; Karu had a migraine and needed to eat, take generic Excedrin, and maybe nap, and Serena had to give "lunchie" to the girls. Karu and Serena head up the front steps of the porch and Serena had the key for the front door in hand when the door swung open, scaring both of them. Serena backed up so Karu ended up in front, where Egg was barely poking her head out from behind the door.

Karu is not allowed to front around this woman. Under no circumstances. That is a decision I made back in February. So we switched. What the hell did Egg want now? Why did she always pull shit like this when we didn't feel well and just wanted to go upstairs to eat and relax? She blocked the way inside, so I was stuck standing in the doorway, with Serena behind us on the porch. Why? What did she need to talk to us about that she couldn't wait until we were...you know...inside?

She needed to ask us (more like try to manipulate us into) reconsidering doing her food shopping since "we would both be at the store at the same time anyway, so what's the difference?"
"Because you need to start doing it. I'm not doing it anymore, and I'm not changing my mind."
"I mean if I go at 6 in the morning, I would just go to a different cashier, of course... It's not like I would try to start anything or make a scene..."
"There's only one cashier at opening. You would have to go to self check if we're opening."
Egg made a pikachu.jpg face at that. Yes, Egg, I understand that back when the store was in Montague, there were two cashiers at opening. But at the new store, there are self checkout machines, so there is only one cashier at 6 for the people who don't want to use self check.

Which is mostly the elderly or people who believe self checkouts are "stealing jobs". (Which they aren't.)
"Well I wouldn't be going there until 8 or 9 anyway."
So then I need to ask, why say anything? Here's an idea, why not ask when we'll be leaving work for the day so you can go after we're no longer there for the day? So then that way I don't have to make sure Duo (who fronts at work) doesn't have a fucking panic attack or worry that you will try to start something.

She doesn't know this, but this coming Thursday will be our last. She's not going to know when our last shift is, of course, because she doesn't need to know. (It's the 26th.) But after that she wouldn't have to worry about it regardless and can go at six in the morning or six at night for all I care.

She wanted to know when we're thinking of actually leaving. We don't have a set date yet but this coming week I will be doing everything I can to get as much packed in one week since Serena will also be off, and things go faster when you have more than one person to split the labor between. Egg is under the delusion that we can't get anything packed because "there's so much crap up here" and I would not only like to prove her wrong, but laugh in her face. It might surprise her how much two people can get done when both of them don't have other obligations like work. One person can declutter and the other can pack and then switch at some point. Whatever we decide to do.

The sooner we can get out of here the better. And then she can pretend we don't exist and we can make that feeling mutual. I would honestly rather she think we're dead. She can pick a cause of death if she really wants to.

Of course it had to be said, "Can we get inside instead of standing in the doorway?"
Especially since it's cold and rainy out and in case Egg decided to get upset and throw a toddler tantrum the neighbors (or at least Mr Boots aka Mr Mans) wouldn't hear and end up with secondhand embarrassment. Why did she not let us get inside first anyway? She sucks at basic hospitality or this thing called "common sense".

I don't know what she was expecting. Did she really think we were going to ring her out at the store? It's against policy anyway, as it's a conflict of interest and an integrity issue. We also can't ring out Serena, or any other friends or family or anyone we reside with. If they found out, we could get terminated on the spot for it.

Here's the thing, Egg: It's your shopping. It's your responsibility now, especially since you gave it away that you can go out to whatever store to buy a cheap napkin holder and some KitKats, showing that you are perfectly capable of not only getting to a store, you can shop at it and successfully check out. Good job, Egg! Congratulations!

Welcome to adulthood, Eggie! It's okay to be a late bloomer, not everyone develops as fast. Most people reach adulthood in their early to mid 20s, but it took you until 70 to do so, and that's okay. You really should work on emotional regulation though, so you're not having meltdowns and tantrums that would make a three year old blush from embarrassment over how immature you're being. Just a thought.
