05. Real Manager

Good grief I've been busy.I've got to go and pick up the last of my stuff from the old place but I'll be back later tonight with a real update.

Coolness!I've got my desk moved now, I don't have to use my eight -year-old laptop for this anymore! I don't have to sit on the floor to watch streaming video!Yay!Done now.

ToyMan!Yep, I was right and he was wrong.What really aggravated me is that he told Ember to tell me that I needed to review my policies, as though the seven whole months he spent as a salaried manager before *I* got promoted (to the same level) makes him that much more experienced.Jackass.

The sky is crystal clear tonight. There’s a beautiful, bright near-full moon high in the sky. This would almost be a perfect night for snuggling around a campfire if it wasn’t ten degrees out. Anything below forty degrees turns a snugglefest into a desperate attempt to avoid hypotherm...

OK, the first truck is out of the way. The folks that own the big house on the next flat spot over own a store at the bottom of the hill and on their way to check the shop this morning they put the first truck in neutral and let it roll down the hill…

We got snow today! It started coming down towards the end of my shift, but it wasn’t sticking to the pavement over there so I wasn’t really worried. Visibility was reduced, about the same as a thunderstorm, but there was no pounding on the roof of my car to annoy me, but people were d...

Good Grief! Why is it me the always gets the weird, off the wall customers?Had a customer call today and claim that this weekend he poo-ed (twosies, dropped a load) in the bushes behind our store. He apologized for that but he then went on to say that apparently the leaves he used after were…
