I'm not pushing my luck any further today
So far this morning damn near everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. I over-slept, I burned my breakfast I forgot my lunch, I was late getting out of the apartment and then realized there was a really heavy fog and I realized I had to scrape my windows. On the way to work (just about 3-5 min away) I was trying to be careful because of the dense fog but just as it happened I realized there was something in the road that I went straight over. I was horrified to think that I'd just hit a cat but it only took me a few seconds to realize that...nope, not a cat. Cats don't smell like that. *headdesk* I ran over a skunk. I don't know if it was already dead or alive when I hit it but I was afraid it was merely wounded and wandering around. On the way home I saw the schmear on the road where I hit it so if I killed it it went fast. I was also afraid my car was going to smell horrendous when I got back out to it after the sun came up and warmed things up. There is definitely a hint of eau de skunk but not bad. Luckily I'm one of those people that while, skunk doesn't smell good it doesn't make me think of something, as my Daddy used to say, would gag a buzzard off a week old corpse.
Anyway, I got to work about 5 minutes late and hell, there are a couple of people who get to work 5 min late every single day but I hate being late! Then the unloading crew last night put big ass pallets everywhere blocking aisles. I go up and down every single aisle at least once a day when I scan and it's such a big ass store that I hate backtracking. So when I got to tools and realized one of the new stockers had just piled all of his empty boxes across the opening of one aisles I used my cart and gently nudged the boxes to one side. We're talking maybe 6-8 inches. And I didn't knock the pile over. Later when I was in the break room one of the ASMs came in for coffee and asked me if any of the stockers had said anything to me. Uh, no? Seems the guy in tools took exception to my forging a way through his discarded boxes and bitched to Shawn about disrespect. What a wiener! Luckily Shawn reminded him that respect goes both ways. Ha! Take that asshole!
Then later on I was doing the price changes in tools (luckily the wiener had moved on to someplace else) but Max was pulling morning duty in tools and hardware. Max came from paint which is where he wants to be. He definitely doesn't want to be in tools and hardware and takes every opportunity to wander away someplace else. I don't know how he gets away with it, but I kept having to stop what I was doing and wait on the customers in that area and I may be able to point people to general things (because I know tools and hardware better than most areas of the store) but when it comes to answering specific questions about products or making keys I have to call for help. Which Max takes his own sweet time answering while I hang around placating the customer and assuring him/her that help is on the way. So I was wrong, there was still a wiener in tools.
I was going to go get my tire fixed when I got off work because I've been running on my spare way to long waiting for my tax return but not only do I not want to push my luck any further today, I don't really want to subject the mechanics to my skunk-mobile. I'll give it at least a couple of days to wear off a little. Instead I thin I'll get some lunch and continue catching up on TV shows I've let lapse. I only have last night's and last week's episodes of The Walking Dead to be current. Then I start on The Magicians and The Expanse.
Oh! And I got an envelope form
dine with a rainbow mix of tomato seeds! I looked on the website and the description reads as "Our mixture of Rainbow Tomatoes will include more than 14 varieties of tomatoes, ranging in colors of green, red, pink, orange, yellow and even brown/black." The package shows everything from beefsteak and smaller slicing tomatoes to grape and cherry tomatoes and some pear shaped paste ones. Since I only grow 2-3 tomato plants per year I might not have a 'rainbow' mix but it'll be fun to see what I do get. Thanks
dine!
