There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin

I dont even like Zeppelin that much.... anyway.... today was....... Interesting..... I got out of work three hours early..... partly cause I own three quarters of my bosses soul... partly cause if I didnt leave... I was going to kill the big head honcho boss that came to visit.... I swear..... I have a problem with jackass mangment... well.. Im pretty sure every one does..... but anyway.... the way it went..... ok... so we have a bed set up in the store to showcase some of the bedding products we carry... No.... were not allowed to take naps at work... so we got a shipment of *cough* quality merchandise... and the boxes were pilled up and on the bed..... so me and my boss were trying to clean up the shipment as quickly as we could... so first he askes us "If a customer were to come up and want to try out the bed... does the bed look inviting?" Course its covered in boxes... so the answer is no... so we clean the boxes off.... this whole time hes standing behind the counter in his leather coat with his cell phone... basically... If I were a customer... I dont think I want to be helped by him.... he just doesnt have the..."Im here to help you" look about him... he has the "Im to good to help you cause I have a leather coat" look about him... I dunno.. its just a vibe hes got.... so anyway... were still trying to clean up the shipment... and the next thing we know hes giving us hell for not being more friendly with the customers.... Usually people just come in to look anyway... and we were saying hello and such... but we were also trying to get the damn shipment cleaned up... so when he askes us why were not helping the customers.. I kinda snapped... "The store isnt very inviting with a pile of boxes in the middle of the floor... I know that cant really contrubute to a good shopping experience"... now.... I said it calmly.... but.... i really wanted to tell the guy to shut up... he isnt very nice... hes got this tone of voice.... makes me want to scream.... reminds me of my father... you cant do anything right half the time and the other half your only just barely succeding.... *glares at no one in paticular* and that the reason why I want to be my own boss... you cant do anything wrong if your the one making the rules... anyway.... sorry for the major venting session..... you can tell I got just a bit worked up.... and that would be why I ditched work 3 hours early.... I kinda feel sorry for my boss cause she had to put up with him.... but..... shes also use to him... but i think thats the most tylenol I've popped in about a month.... ahhhh the joys of retail.... have a good one people....
