so this is what its like to have a life.
first order of business:
kerrisomers you are so jealous of me right now. i got to see the regent diner t-shirt and checkered pants wearing man, and i don't even fully appreciate it's greatness. it was really funny though seeing jess get so excited and wathcing her try to be as discreet as possible while taking the picture. i think i may have blown her cover with my poorly stifled fits of giggles. it was fun though, perhaps the highlight of my night. i took a picture of jess at the diner with my phone because i felt left out of the fiasco.
then we went bowling, which was fun despite my beyond sucky skills. betcha didn't know it was possible to bowl a 36. in my defense though, my second game improved...all the way to a 39, much thanks to the strike i got when i wasn't looking. Christina Hreha was a much better bowler than i expected her to be, which disappointed me because i thought we were gonna suck together. but congrats to her on being able to control the direction of her wrist better than me.
One of the guys bowling next to us looked like the blonde guy from less than jake. but i think it was just because he had obnoxious bleached hair. jess pointed out a resemblance of the other kid that was bowling in that lane to hot brian, but i agree with her and again think the resembelance is only in the hair....its funny how reading jess's update and then reading mine is like reading the same thing twice isn't it?
hmmmm what else...
i had the spawn of satan as a customer at work today. she made me cry. it a long, uninteresting story, so i'm going to tell it.
I had just finished quite a few large orders and had collected quite a few hangers all up in my register space so when she came and plopped her stuff down on my counter (before i called for the next customer, mind you) i was cleaning them up. she asked if i was open and i told her i was, but that i would be a minute because i needed to clean up. so she asked me like 3 questions about a coupon she left at home. could she bring it in and get a price adjustment? no it says on the coupon "not for previously purchased merchandise" and some other stuff, but that's the important question as you'll see later. so just as i'm about done the lady that was ringing next to me finishes and she scoops up her things and slams them down on her counter and scowls at me saying "way to make you customers wait" now mind you, i'm extremely overtired these days from working more than i ever had in my life, so just this comment alone hurt my feelings and got the tears all welled up, but i recovered and took the next customer, who happened to have the coupon the devil woman was missing. the she-devil goes "oh can i use your hall pass? thanks" so i assume my customer had said yes and handed it over to the other cashier. my customer then says in an annoyed tone (to the satanic woman, not to me) "well i didn't say yes, but i didn't say no either so..." and finally the awful woman leaves and my customer says wow, she was rude to even ask to use the coupon, but to use it without waiting for an answer? and linda (other cashier) says yeah she was miserable. so i've kept my composure at this point...then the phone rings and my manager answers it and its her, the queen bitch. she complains about both cashiers and goes on and on about how awful we are to the point that my manager says she'll give her 25% off her next purchase to appease her. but then after she's off the phone linda speaks up and says how awful she is and tells patty how she almost made me cry. at the mention of this, i start crying (did i mention i'm overtired?) and my manager takes me into the back (after getting the full story from linda) and tells me that just because these people are customers doesn't mean i need to take crap from them and that when the lady comes in to get her 25% off she's gonna play dumb and pretend like she had no idea what she's talking about. even the other customers were outraged at how rude she had been to me. it was kinda funny. everyone was up in arms like ready to go to war for me. at least i know some people still think i'm nice. this lady seriously ruined my whole day though. it was awful...oh and i didn't get to go on break until like an hour and a half before i went home. so that was fun.
::sigh:: today was stressful, bowling helped.
