Oh, it's been a while my old friend....the days keep running pass me. I hardly the time anymore to journal...
C-boi is hinting he will not be living with us this summer. He has begun to search for jobs in the state where he attends school.....these lil bits of independence are not fun to go thru...One minute your thrilled, the next your heart aches...The worse part is I have forward him emails on prospective job opportunities.....lol..Oi!
Our "season" is slowly coming to an end....whew....
The "Northerners" are returning to their homes, and business is slowing down a bit at work. I actually had time to not only get a lunch, we were able to squeeze in a break as well....Unheard of for the closing crew....
I had only a couple of "meaners" come visit at the service desk.... One was asking directions in the store to a certain department, and berated me that "If I steer him to a wrong location, I was going to hear about it"....I offered him a map to the store, advise him each aisle is labeled, and I had no intention of sending him to a wrong location... This brought on a storm of words , and he hasnt even asked his question yet....so, after the souriful spew (I seem to have "heard" from him anyway) he asked his question....I waited a half a second, then told him to turn around he would find the item behind him.....not EVEN a thank you, he just left the desk.....
The other lady was asking questions about her upcoming delivery & install. I advised her to take up these questions with the Sales person she just left, that I have no idea what was presented to her, if she wanted me to call him/her forward I would do so....Her response, was I should know...so, she asked again....I said excuse me....I called the Sales person, told him his customer had a couple of questions....she flys off the handle ...Why did you do that? I asked you...The Sales team member comes forward, answers her questions again (apparently, she asked the same question 3 or 4 times)...she said she was sorry she bothered him, that she wanted me to answer her question, the Sales member told her, that I would have no clue, cuz I wasnt present in "their " conversation, she still responded with that is not an excuse I should know anyway...humm?
What?...say that again? I guess I missed the orientation on "How to be Psychic"....lol....
