From The Stupid Files: Y7, W22

Day 77:  Hot, humid, 89; 76 t/a
ASM:  Shannon
HC:  Austin
Loaders:  Kaleb, Diana, Joey (NCNS???)

1) Was slammed at 5:30; Diana took over so I could do a credit app, then I hopped on #2, and we BOTH had VSPs!

2) Had pregnant lady not feeling well; I had Kaleb and Diana check on her. Kaleb went to LG and got her a chair; Diana got her some water. She sat down for about an hour until her hubby finished shopping.

3) Discovered no trash liners in #1 or the Pro trash can???  WTH closed last night?  Found out later it was a newbie.

4) Kaleb ripped the crotch of his shorts on a board; used packing tape to tape them up!  Diana and I laughed our asses off....he said, "Probably the only time I'm gonna say this....thank god I'm not hung like a bear!"  Found out later that same board tried to rip the tape off!

Day 78: Hot, humid, high 80s; 77 t/a
ASM:  Shannon
HC:  Austin
Loaders:  Kaleb, Diana, Joey (NCNS??)

1) Reg #1 malfunctioned; card reader offline.  Reset pin pad, then entire system....nada. Reset everything again around 9, worked fine.  WTH???

2) Went to Receiving for trash bags; there were none.  Had to get a roll from CS.

3) My copies of PWT arrived; sold one to Gil for $15.  He tossed me a $20 and said, "Support your local authors. Keep the change."  Awwwww......thank you!

4) Erika came down and gave me my break at 4:30!  Shocked the hell out of me....then sent me to lunch at 6:15.

5) Had intestinal issue at 3:30 but was fine the rest of the night.

Outfit:  Black Eclipse tee, dark cut off capris, eclipse danglies
Off to take Mom to an appointment tomorrow!


Day 79: Hot, humid, low 90s; 81 t/a
ASM:  Maria
HC:  Isaac
Loaders:  Kaleb, Damon, Jack (new)

1) Discovered Loader Joe was fired, due to 3 NCNSs.  When I told ASM Alex about the night he'd gone home, he said he wished someone had told him why.  I hadn't thought to send him an EMAIL.  *head slap*

2) Kyle took us to the Roadhouse for lunch, and I ate too many rolls; by 4 pm, I was yawning!

3) I got my 5pm break; HC Isaac said we had plenty of people!  (on a FRIDAY???  That's amazing!)

Outfit:  Blue Vancouver Aquarium tee, dark cut off capris, sea horses

Off tomorrow for the KCARC craft fair!



Day 80:  Rare Sun; hot, humid, Thunderstorm; 85 t/a
ASM:  Shannon
HC:  Isaac
Loader:  Kaleb

1) Kaleb complimented me when I walked in...."I'm gonna have a great night; Molly's here!"
2) A customer told me he'd gotten mad at Ian, but 'there's a gal up front who always has a smile for me and gives me candy....her name is Molly."
3) Customers returned a window with a broken casing.  Told them to push it back to Millwork and swap it out; they left it up front. Where do they think I'M gonna put it???  *eye roll*
4) Tried to return an insulation machine, but nothing was working. Turned out I was using the wrong item #....geez.....
5) Had two customers at 8pm...."we didn't know you closed early on Sunday!"  Only for the past 5 years....
6) Admittedly, I goofed off today, rereading Playing With Time.  Only did trash at 7:30 and spot-swept.
7) DS Keri told me Kem complained I don't arrive until 3:05.  Really????  Okay, I'll start clocking in early.  Geez....
