Bitesized Tidbits

I Love:

When customers ask me if my cash is open, even when my light is off, I'm putting money in a sack, and there is a metal gate barring them from coming near my cash.

When people ask me if I am working in Seasonal when I have to pass it to get to Cash # 10. "Yes, I do work in seasonal. I just carry this huge metal tray of money with me everywhere I go because it's more convenient than a wallet.

When customers urge me to get a University education.

When engineers urge me to get a University education that isn't Philosophy.

When in the run of a day my ambitions in life range from becoming a World-Famous Author, to becoming a Hooter's Waitress.

Realizing that (off paper), my paycheck doesn't look so huge.

Midnight Stir-fry (this one isn't actually sarcastic)*

* - Note: It isn't midnight yet. "Midnight Stirfry" just sounds better than "Eleven-thirty P.M. Stirfry."

Stuff I Discovered Last Week

A short list of things I've learned in the past week:

1 - Some people in this province do not know who their premier is. Also, my father is able to convince them that he is premier.

2 - It is possible to ask for clarification of a statement up to five times, and receive the exact same wording each time.

3 - Nickels are the stupidest coins on the planet.

4 - I frequently have to hand back 41 cents in change to customers. Conveniently, 41 cents is easily found: it is one of each coin in Canadian Currency smaller than $1.

5 - Some people will tell you that their Canadian Tire 'Money' is organized for your convenience. It is rarely convenient.

6 - People making faces in the background of pictures with the intent of ruining said picture ('Photobombing') is an artform.

7 - Eggplants are stupid.

8 - Pizza Shops in Corner Book do not deliver before 4:00 P.M.

9 - The Sims 2 will chew up your soul and spit out sorrow.

10 - Kayne West's blind-glasses in the 'Stronger' video are really stupid. And yet, I wish I had a pair.

Bonus - Bamboo is in the true grass family.
