Just random stuff...
Nov. 24th, 2003 06:14 pmI found out on Thursday that my car has a theft prevention system I didn't know about. Went to go to work, and the little door remote was dead, so I used the key to open the door. Needless to say, the horn started beeping, and the car wouldn't start. Great. Called work to tell them I'd be late, called Saturn to find out what to do. The person who answered the phone had no idea what we were talking about, and told us to call back later when more people were around. So I had Dad drive me to Radio Shack to purchase a new battery. It worked, and it was all good. I'm just pissed that no one told me about this when I bought the car. Apparently there's no way to bypass it, so if my battery had died say, in Manhattan, I would've been more than screwed. Isn't that lovely?
I'm loving the new job so far. All of my co-workers are really nice, and it even turns out that I'm working with an old friend: Lauren from summer theater. She's been there for three years already, so it must be a pretty good place to work.
Saturday I was on door duty for seven hours. I don't mind that much. It's like getting paid to do nothing except say hello and goodbye. Except for the fact that they had me holding the Singing Snowmen. I had to make them sing every time someone came into the store. I started hearing them singing when they weren't playing...One of these days they're going to find me violently murdering a set of Snowmen with a sharp object, all the while singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
A lady came into the store looking for a Police man ornanment. We have a firefighter one, but no Police. So we started talking about how it's unfair that firefighters get all the merchandising, and cops don't. She said, "But you know who it is who throws all those cats up the trees? It's the firefighters!" It was the funniest thing I heard all weekend!
Today, I was the Queen of Hanukka card Restocking. I made that display look gooooood. Assistant Manger Chris was trying to start with me all day, saying I shouldn't have to carry heavy boxes because I was a girl. He knows I could take him, though.
I'm off to find more ways I can put off writing my paper on Hamlet. Oh the joys of procrastination!
