At this rate, I’ll be a manager soon.

Angie took me aside on more than one occasion today and whispered into my ear,

We work with idiots.

Nice to know I’m on her good side. *smiles*

Trish usually works weekends. I had her yesterday, so I was fine. Ah, but today. No Trish. All I had to work with was Shannon and a n00b. She isn’t that bad, but it was a foregone conclusion that I would have to pick up a major amount of slack. I did fruit cups in the morning and pretty much did all the little things I knew needed to be done, but they wouldn’t do. Nobody watches coffee like me. Nobody did samples until I noticed. Yadda, yadda.

I had Angie’s voice in my head. I knew to sweep and mop before noon. There’s actually good reasoning to that. The dining room floor looked filthy when I bothered looking at it. (Before giving it a good mop.) Last thing I wanted was Angie to come in at noon and tell us to mop. I know her expectations.

As expected, after noon, after avoiding register for most of the morning, I was in bakery by myself until Adam showed up at 3. I’m entirely amused how long lines don’t phase me at all. I have my time-saving techniques, but I otherwise don’t move uberfast. I tend to go at a quick pace, anyway. I just don’t bother hurrying people.

After last night, I was in a very good mood this morning. It’s hard to explain. I’m still very upbeat. Just. Okay, we had six cappicinos in a row. So I said to the next customer, “So, would you like a cappicino?” Man, I love the confused That’s not what I was expecting you to say! look.

Seriously, people have certain expectations as for what we’re supposed to say. If you ever say something that isn’t in their vernacular, it really throws them off.

Erik called out. When I found this out, I said to myself, “Gee, I bet he didn’t even leave Cliff’s.” After work, I was proved right. We played more MANBALLGAME. He beat me first by twenty points. He won the second game by a single point. I was slaughtering him, but he overcame a twenty or thirty point lead. It’s all about the Hail Mary. No other play seems worth using. I like doing rushes only because it makes me feel like I’m doing what I see on TV.

“Okay, and.. RUN RIGHT INTO THEM AND GAIN MINIMAL YARDAGE.”

I said a long time ago that the best way to learn sports is to play the video games. In the span of two days, I’ve learned more than I have in my entire lifetime. With all the inane rules, I now have more reason than ever to hate the game of American Football.

Um. I have taquitos in the oven and um. I’m back to five days this week. Today, which was 8 – 4. Tuesday, 7 – 4. Wednesday, 9 – 4. Which will probably end up being 9 – 5. Friday, 10 – 5. Saturday, 7 – 3. Stalkers, remember to expose your boobage as much as possible. Thank you.

This conversation. Is over.
