Giles Peterson is a god. I am back in my bedroom with my new laptop sitting warmly on my lap. Directly to my left is Simon, my rotund orange tiger cat. By my feet, also to my left, is my zonked dog Josie. Chasing the elusive squirrels in her sleep. I'm happily surfing the world wide web. Listening to Giles Peterson's latest show. He's a DJ from the ( Read more... )

Well, I never did get a call from the other place (can't really remember if I mentioned the idea of getting a new job here or not). I did have a heart to heart with my current boss and we've decided that I will get Thursdays to work away from the store ( Read more... )

I just sold a pair of insoles to a girl, a very frustrated girl because she'd been searching for these insoles for her "picky mother" as she put it, all day. Her phone rang, my mother in law's ring tone ("hello moto") and I had a pang of happiness. It was her "stoopid boyfriend" whom she continued to berate on the phone for parking the car, how ( Read more... )

I am sitting here at work. Working. Getting paperwork done. Calling reps. Being a good worker bee. A woman walks in. She's been in before. I'd ordered some shoes for her in the past. She indicated she had ended up buying them elsewhere. Then she had the nerve to ask if I would trade her for the shoes she was wearing...the ones we'd ordered for her ( Read more... )

My boss came in this morning so I could run a pair of clogs to a customer who was staying at the 5th Ave Suites. She thought she was leaving later than it turns out she was so she was in a bit of a panic. I ran in right at the right time (after, of course, she'd had the front desk woman call me ( Read more... )
