I, once again, took a very long blogcation after claiming I was going to blog more. What else is new? But the year isn't over so I have time to make up for that.
Is it just me, or did 2011 go by really fast? I'm almost hitting my year mark of working at my job. How did that happen? I was hired as seasonal and they kept me, so that was nice. I mean it's not the dream job, but it's a job that I can pay my lovely student loans with, so I can't complain. I like my coworkers and supervisors, customers can be iffy though. They can get mean and defensive and pissed off at the dumbest things, such as the man that said we were cheating him of money by not giving him the member price on wine, even though when I verified the receipt after they put their phone number in, it showed that he was, in fact, getting the sale price. I repeatedly pointed this out and he said I was wrong and forget it he didn't want any of it and stormed out. He was fun. Or the woman that used a coupon, then when she came to return it was mad she wasn't getting the full amount back, which I said 'You used a coupon, so it takes money off all items you buy.' She continued her rant of us screwing her out of money she was getting back on the items. I pointed out she was getting back what she paid for it, but apparently we were screwing her out of money still. I very well could have badged it and modified the price, but if I go up there and you are defensive and yelling at me the moment I come up to assess the situation, then I'm not going to go out of my way for you. If you are being nice, calm, rational, then I'll see what I can do for you. Basic manners go a long way with this retail worker.
But anyway, a lot has happened this year thus far, good and bad. I'll update more later (and if I forget again, bug me about it) but for now I have to go get ready for work.
