Work sucks! Reno Comic-Con! Also, hit that F5 key!

I have a new icon for the Thanksgiving season courtesy of the awesome
felisrandomis :3
Work sucks! I have still gotten absolutely nowhere at my EMS agency. The last event I worked was Reno Comic-Con, which was itself awesome, but I got nothing but criticism for how I worked because I didn't follow communication protocol to the letter. I'm sorry I didn't answer my radio immediately, dispatch, my radio reception is spotty in a convention center made entirely of concrete where I was the only EMT working a 25,000 person convention and I had a patient that I was actively treating and monitoring in the middle of a hundred hyped-up Norman Reedus fans. And then a supervisor griped at me for not doing things her way despite the fact I treated the patient 100% correctly, and convention center security yanked me away from the patient in question the instant I was done to go tend to another patient.

I'm fairly convinced by now after all I've attempted (and failed) to do that they're just not that into me and I'm too dumb to take the hint.
The store I'm working at is all right, though. You know, for a minimum wage retail job. I spend my entire shift neatening up the men's clothing section, mostly, sometimes dragging stuff out of the back. I decided I'd be that unicorn of an employee who actually manages to find shit in the back of the store that isn't on the shelf. Customers LOVE that. I've been told by a few separate people I'm doing a good job, too. Feels nice after never really getting recognition for anything. I have Thanksgiving off, too, which is lovely, but I've been working basically non-stop for a while.
As mentioned, Reno Comic-Con was pretty cool. Even though I apparently did it "wrong," I got to help someone in front of Norman Reedus, talked to one of the Power Rangers, and got to meet Michael Rooker! He was super nice, too. The day before, my sister (who was cosplaying Daenerys Targaryen) reached out to shake his hand while he was walking by, so he shook it, but before letting go, pulled her into the Norman Reedus photo booth and kissed her cheek in front of everyone, which made a ton of girls waiting in line jealous and Norman himself go "wut"
So that was my week.
