So I go into work last night, and it was a freaking MAD HOUSE.
When we closed up on Wednesday night, it was business as usual....
Not so much yesterday.
"Going out of business" signs were EVERYWHERE...shelves were cleared of video games and stacked up 8 feet high, waiting to be priced and put back out to be sold. People all over the place. The boss called in everyone to work, so it was crowded for us too.
and then you get the rocket scientists that come in,
"Are you guys closing?"
DUH!!! What the hell tipped you off? the THREE HUNDRED SIGNS HANGING FROM THE CEILING??! and we answered that question hundreds of time.
"Well, where am I supposed to rent my movies now??!!!"
HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW? At least you CAN rent a movie...I'm losing my freaking job!!!"
it was insane...people were bringing up stacks of movies to buy...10, 15, 20 movies. then when I tell them it's $51 they throw a hissy fit. I've never wanted to smack so many people in my life.
and where can I find another job where I can harass the boss like I do Carl? We all get along really well, and torment each other mercilessly. Will I ever have another boss I can say,"Hell no I'm not doing anything tonight!" wait, that didn't sound very good... ;)
******************************
and just to take a break for a minute...it's 8:14am and I'm watching The Today Show...and they're talking about the Super Bowl and parties and stuff. They had some chick on there, giving "advice" to women watching the Super Bowl...
"It's a football game between the Colts and the Saints. The Colts are blue and white and the saints are black and gold." REALLY???? REALLY???!!!
"The colts quarterback is Peyton Manning."
OHMYGOD!!!
Women are NOT stupid when it comes to sports, you idiotic woman!!! GAWD!!!! I don't need to know the COLOR of the uniforms so I can tell the difference between the 2 teams. What am I? 4 yr. sold??!!! I think I hate her.
*******************************
So, back to the job thing. Marvin wants me to work in a court somewhere..mainly so he can keep an eye on me, I think. While I appreciate that he wants to help me find a job, at first he was a little TOO happy that I was losing this one. But ya'll know me..I had to set him straight that things were NOT going back to what they used to be...in SO many ways. HA! I think he got the idea. ;) But a job in a courthouse would be good. But I don't think they'd let me cuss...maybe, but I doubt it.
*********************
and I colored my hair yesterday...red again. but it came out almost black...again. At least its not a permanent color..it washes out in 28 shampoos, so I'm off to wash my hair with some dandruff shampoo and try to get as much of it out as I can. While I like the dark hair, I REALLY like the red better.
and if ya'll are watching the Super Bowl on Sunday, what are you making to eat?

You're right. Women are not stupid about football. Some of is just could care less and so cannot be bothered with stuff like team colors and quarterbacks because we don't watch the stuff -- except those rare occasions we attend a Super Bowl party. I feel about football the way that some feel about games on Facebook. It's not my thing but I respect how someone else might like it.
My husband keeps trying to get me to apply to the City of Dallas. I have tried, but I am sure a bajillion others have tried too.
The local video hut near us closed recently... the Netflix thing has started to erode the brick and motar stores.
Since I don't know what 'it' was once like, can't comment much about anything else. The stories about how out of touch some women are about sports is actually perfectly reasonable.
Not everyone that is aware of who is playing is as aware of the details, uniforms for instance. They could be watching the news and for some reason they don't connect what their eyes see with the other data that is being sent. And then depending on the medium, personal interests, lifestyle, people can forget about something as what uniform the teams wear.
Eh, I just wanted to oppose something, so don't mind me!! :0)
kailyn: so its sorta like farmville vs. super bowl? ;)
kristi: what's the City of Dallas?
mark: hey, I guess ya gotta oppose something, right? ;)
Of course, you never tackled the big question: Where will you get your daily dose of pervs that look to you for suggestions? I mean, you've become the porn diva, and just think of all the displaced wankers that will suffer as well? Okay, well, I guess it pales in comparison to you losing your job, but still... ;-)
I want to know who gets custody of the ONE AND ONLY gay porn at the store?!?
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
omg tranny....WE HAVE ABOUT 5-6 GAY PORNOS NOW!!!!!
That much gay porn?!? No wonder the store is closing - JEEBUS IS MAD AT YOU FOR ALL THAT GAY PORN!!
I'm not watching the game, but in honor of the day, we will be having chips and bean crack for dinner. Mmmmm....bean crack.
And yes, we aren't stupid. There's that cute little color chart with the mascots on the bottom of the screen! ;)
I love jobs where I can say that I am not doing anything sorry and you have to pay me anyway!
you look like "Schmoopy" in that pic.
I could never work in sales, I would probably cut a bitch and tell someone to bite me! And you know me, on Superbowl Sunday I'll eat some gin and tonics!!!!!
Find a new job where you can be your own lovable and wicked (!) self!
Did you get a new haircut? Do we get pictures? I'm beyond overdue for both a cut and color but I'm doing the best I can to rock this extra long dry multi colored look. (Hell yes I'm a wreck!)
Mistress Maddie cracks me up, "cut a bitch". Personally I don't think I could work in retail because the urge to punch a douche in the throat would be too tempting.
xoxo
I'm sorry your store is closing.
:(
