Work is stressful, school is taking up so much time and I'm falling behind, Grandmommie wants me to clean the apartment so that the termite guy can come in and inspect but she won't tell me when the deadline is, my car situation is still up in the air, her car is out-of-commission, she's sick and I feel like I'm coming down with something, one of ( Read more... )

At work, we sell a game called Bananagram, which is in the shape of a banana.

I was ringing one up for a customer today, when she said "can I have a bag, please? I want to hide the banana."

I had to duck behind the counter for a few long moments, before I was able to bag the thing with a straight face.

I went to work (screwed up my schedule for the third day in a row, which I'm sure the cold medicine wasn't helping with) even though I was feeling dizzy and my voice was (and still is) totally shot. Told my boss that I couldn't call the Special Orders, but I'd stick it out. But of course, there's not a lot of my job that you CAN do without ( Read more... )

A big part of my job is calling customers to tell them that their special orders are in. Which is usually boring and time-consuming, and occasionally you get one of those customers ( Read more... )

Let's face it -- I expected today to suck. Especially when you consider the unplanned 4:15 wake-up, courtesey of the small furry alarm clock. (She was hungry.) But it turned out to be a pretty decent day. Not a spectacular day, but a day in which the good things, small though they were, far outweighed the bad ( Read more... )
