Black Friday

The day was stressful, but it went smoothly. The line was organized, the shelves were well stocked, and the managers were cool as cucumbers. I screwed up a few orders, usually because people try to use 5 different coupons on their purchase and if they aren't entered into the computer in the correct order then the computer freaks out. I also learned the hard way that if you have to go back to change an item, it automatically takes off all the discounts and they have to be reentered. I didn't notice until Ms. Irate Customer went into a tizzy of accusations that I was cheating her.

The good news is the store made its quota for the day and the aggies beat ut! I almost pissed my pants in disbelief. Then Billy saved the day and fixed a broken link on my blog. Now all is right with the world.

I'm reading a mystery called "A Great Deliverance" by Elizabeth George. The story itself isn't too bad although the author likes to drop in pretentious literary references. She does throw in some great vocabulary words like miasmal, rebarbative, pavane, and maelstrom, much to my delight.

Right now I'm listening to an old Nirvana album and thinking about decorating my apartment for christmas. Alas, such fun will have to wait until later because I have to work all day today.
