Wow I had just about the worst morning but this turned out to be a pretty damn good day!

I always seem to be like, oh I have half an hr to be at work, what could take so long? Then I'm late :P So I was rushin and had all this stuff to carry in my hands like my coffee, purse, papers, car keys, garage door opener, and my boots, and shit just keeps on droppin and it's frustrating me to no end. Probably cuz I'm gonna PMS soon, I just know it, haha. There's always this time period right before where everythin seems to go wrong and it royally pisses me off.

Then when I got to the store, I realized I forgot my locker key. Friggin hell. Couldn't put my purse away, didn't have any of my sales tools (name tag, sticky notes, PSP rate chart, PSP booklets), not even a pen! Ugh. I texted L cuz yesterday she said she'd come by. We share a locker so she has a key too but she was already out and didn't have it.

So anyway, while at work I have all these little tasks to do and it's impossible to get them done if I have customers to tend to. And the lil morning meetings take up all the time right up until the store opens so I don't get anythin done even tho I'm there half an hr before opening. Plus I don't like doin them in the first place (like scannin stuff to reprint those damn tags I was talkin about before...it's like a gremlin comes in the middle of the night and steals them randomly). It actually wasn't too busy in the beginning so I figured it was gonna be just another day where I don't make money and another reason for any of the higher-uppers to say somethin to me.

It started to pick up later. L came to visit. Then it was crazy busy and it was only me in the dept and I just couldn't handle it, haha. Esp when I hafta sort thru all the FREAKIN boxes of loose accessories that need to go with demo models that I'm tryin to sell to someone. It goes like: Unlock cage, haul cardboard box out, rummage thru bags and bags of accessories, don't find the right stuff, put the box back, haul another box out, rummage some more, unlock another cage, haul box out, rummage, leave boxes on floor and cage doors open, run to the warehouse in the back, search, run back, deal with customers on the side who need my help too, tryin to put some boxes back and lock the cages so there aren't any theft issues. It's fun.

I called Kane in desperation cuz he knows more than I do (and probably hides the accessories :P) cuz he was somewhere in the store but in a meeting or somethin. So he helped a customer buyin a load of stuff with a demo camcorder...that goes on my Clearance/Open Box percentage AND I got PSP :) Clarence heard about it and shook my hand and said congrats when he saw me, haha.

So I got that, some cameras, and a PDA. Then my shift was done but Kane asked a couple more mins while he took a smoke :P So I headed back to my dept with my coat and purse when this man was bein ignored by David as he walked past so I asked if I could help. Turns out he was the nicest guy and was bein apologetic that I was takin the time to help him when I was about to go home. So I got that sale of a printer/fax dealy and ended up makin 100 somethin dollars total today, woo! Not surprisingly, I was there later than scheduled but these days I know not to expect to be gone right when my time's up.

But I made good commission, today's pay day, and it's the weekend, HOLLA.

I'm hungry right now, gonna make a grilled cheese cuz there is nothing to eat in this place!
