My Cat is Clawing At My Door and Screaming
Yeah…. I drove home with them. Fuck. Then I had to drive all the way back to put them in the safe… the good news was that I got to answer the phone for James… it made me feel like my trip back was somewhat useful. YAY!!!!
So… tonight’s shift was nice. There was a lot of good. I officially really like Linda Boissonault or however her name is spelled… I probably butchered it. But…. we had a nice shift…. and I like her…. she’s good.
Also…. I still don’t like Rosa. I just don’t know how to communicate to her that she needs to watch selfscan… we had another walkout as Linda and I were putting the drawers up. Also…. I don’t really know what she knows how to do…. and it’s too hard to explain to her what I need sometimes. Like I’d love to send her blocking or doing returns…. but it just seems too difficult to explain to her. Plus Linda kinda yelled at her…. it was kind awesome… but not that part.
Anyway…. James the nightcrew chief was talking with Linda about how completely useless Dave Allard is. They were just bashing him up and down. It was hysterical and true…. James was complaining that Dave lets cahiers do all their shopping on the clock, that he does no cleaning, that everything’s a mess, etc. Yeah…. that’s him. But anyway… it was after that part about letting people like Rosa go do shopping on their shift…. Rosa went and did just that. Linda was al telling her to do it on her break… and being kinda joking, kinda serious…. all of which I think was lost on Rosa. But I wall all over enjoying the Dave Allard bashing…. God I hate him….. so much.
So…. when I got in…. things were a mess…. no audits had been done… no sweeps had been done in forever… there were 2 NC/NS’s….. we were slammed too. It was crazy busy. Lee stayed an extra hour to help out because she’s awesome. Dick England stayed an extra half hour and was useless….. and Adam stayed an extra hour and made mostly for good company.
So… anyway… Linda all told me to stop doing audits and was all… don’t do audits…. concentrate on doing customer service instead, etc….. but it was cool. Apparently… we’re back to auditing the drawers every morning… so they don’t need to be audited at night. Store policy is 6 audits a day…. mostly concentrated on the people that need the watching. Hell yeah… I mean I love my audits…. but I can live with cutting that out.
Also… Linda brought back the rolls of coins for the podium. I love her for that one. I told her so. I was so happy… the idiotic taking rolls of coins from other drawers was the stupidest thing I had ever heard of.
Also… when I did the sweep finally…. there were drawers with like $2000.00 in them… that is way way way over the S&S limit. Yeah… it was ugly. Just showed how busy it was…. when I came in Linda said she had just gotten off the front end for the first time since arriving at 2:30… and I got in at 7…. yeah… apparently I missed all the crazy fun.
But yeah… the highlight of the night was definitely talking with Adam…. it was fun. I don’t find many people that can actually talk and have serious conversations about anything anymore. He is engaging, intelligent, and opinionated…. all of which I like. We talked about all kinds of things…. and it was quite interesting. I know he’s interested in why I’m such a participant in my Church despite all of the horrible things they’ve done to me and my people…. and I’d love to talk about that… but it’s a long conversation and not suitable to a grocery store where homophobic people don’t want to hear me talking about having rights and stuff. But yeah…. it was much better than the good old days of Paul Kelly and Dave Allard for 3 hours…. don’t miss those conversations.
Dave: I banged this chick here.
Paul: The carts are not lined up properly.
Dave: I stalk this girl every Friday on Main Street.
Paul: I have to fill up spray bottles.
Dave: Blah Blah I’m the best cashier ever Blah Blah
Paul: That’s right Dave… you really are becoming a great cashier.
Dave: See…. all you guys need to do is teach me once… then I always get it.
*Paul is lost somewhere in the store*
*Dave is hitting on high school girls while lines build up at his unmanned register*
Oh sigh…… I miss those days….. Paul and Dave were quite the team. Paul thought Dave was great at his job… and Dave thought he was too…. and yeah… no matter how many times I taught Dave something… he’d forget it and screw it up the next time. Paul would leave Dave all by himself and everything would go wrong and no one would be there to fix it unless I was in cleaning up after both of them…. fond nostalgic memories.
Anyway… so I got to disc 2 of Legend of Dragoon. I’m very excited because disc 1 doesn’t work that well… there were absolutely no problems with it in gameplay…. but sometimes it takes like 6 tries for my PS2 to read the disc. A couple of times I just loaded disc 2 to get the start screen, load my game, and then put in disc 1 when it asked…. which always worked. But yeah…. I like this game… it’s fun….. I love the combat system where you have to press certain buttons at the correct time during your attack to get combos/make it more powerful…. makes combat a little more engaging instead of just selecting the attack.
Alright… time to go eat some food and watch some Avatar.
