Reasoning behind me taking the day off today.
So, I'm at work yesterday working on my third consecutive hour of the classic boredom-killer, Defend Your Castle, when I actually had to get up and help a customer. Now understand that while it's retail and it's my job to assist people, I usually just hide out in the back and play with phones, play games, play games on phones, occasionally play with myself and sometimes actually do paperwork and when I do go out on the floor and someone asks me to help them, I just tell them that I'm either still in training, on my break, or that my English isn't very good (all of which are actually true).
Well, yesterday, I couldn't avoid actual work.
I go out to find this biker guy in what looks like a Canadien tuxedo (denim from head to toe), a cowboy hat over a bandana, and more piercings than the crazy Africans you sometimes see on the Travel Network. Remembering the golden rule of wireless that sometimes the weirder looking people buy the most stuff, I went over and started helping the man. After a brief discussion, he decided that he wanted a STARTAC phone...
like the one he had ten years ago and no major wireless provider has made in eight. Then, after talking about Virgin Mobile, he asked if I knew anything about the service from Exxon Mobil...
having actually honestly thought that Exxon Mobil, the motor oil, was a wireless provider. He asked if I could help him, I said that not even God could help him, and went back to my office and started playing more games. Then I called in sick today, so I can play games in the comfort of my own home without being interrupted by God's sick little jokes. Man, I love me.
