I Been Sick :o(
I know I and probably every other person has asked this question each time they get sick, "How can I produce so much SNOT?!?!" Yet, I don't ever remember hearing a solid answer. Anyone care to enlighten me? I could probably look this up and find out right now, but I imagine that would require looking at pictures of mucus build up and I have seen enough mucus today. UUUGGGGHHHH.
Had to open at the store this morning. Went through 2 little packets of Kleenex during 5 hours. Isn't it weird how a brand name can become the common name for something. They were probably Puffs.
Anyhoo, when I went up front for the "prep meeting" this girl walked up to us and the manager said, "Can we help you?" She said, "Yeah I am needing some running shoes." Part of me was like, "great first customer of the day interrupts our meeting, not a good sign" but that was counteracted by, "sweet, I don't have to listen to this stupid bullshit." "Follow me" I said as we walked down the isles.
Turns out she has never really ran but decided that she wanted to start today (I'm guessing she was about 20) so she had no idea what kind of shoe she needed. I, now being an athletic shoe expert (HAHA), pointed her straight to the Asics 2100. She was uncertain of why I pointed her to this shoe, and I basically said what I say to all customers wanting a running shoe, "it just feels better than any other shoe on these walls," along with the other crap they want to hear but don't fully understand. But to prove my point I brought out our a Nike, New Balance, and Mizuno shoe. I made her try on these first, then the 2100. Guess what she bought. That shoe never fails me. I also sold her on a PAIR, a single PAIR mind you, of $11 Thorlo running socks.
I'll admit, even though I am sick, I was working the charm a bit, but only to start the day out right with a good sale...and she was letting me. If she had been a bitch I would have just thrown some shoes at her.
Other than the cold, it was an easy day at work...other than this manager that I kept trying to avoid because he is a bitch and I want to punch him in his face.
Meds taking over. Goodnight.
