So, I worked at the big store ( Read more... )

A couple of things I've been wanting to post for a while and haven't got around to it. One, there was a guy a while back (a couple of weeks now, actually) who was buying something with cash and was giving me change. When he went to hand me quarters, there were a couple of odd coins with Asian characters on them and the denomination "100". He ( Read more... )

Today, I got five cases of free (expired) beer from work. Bill said "take it", and I loaded my car up. I've got one of each of the four kinds chilling in my fridge. Maybe I'll find one of them decent-tasting, but in the worst case, I can make myself popular by giving away free beer. Though they're expired, they're all in glass, so it's not like ( Read more... )

Jen must have given Bill her two weeks' notice today (she told me a couple of days back that she was going to) since he ( Read more... )

I got myself one of the Jägermeister shirts that come bundled with the bottles as part of the gift sets. Apparently Heather had to open one up, and couldn't get it to fit back in the box. So, she offered it to me. It's an XL (which is my size in most shirts) too. Very cool. I've worked there less than two weeks, and already I've picked up two Jack ( Read more... )
