Um... not quite! LOL. But I am pretty strong. And btw... in spite of it being Iron BOY Powerlifting, I am a girl.

Should be Iron BOY and GIRL powerlifting... I must take this up with the promotor tomorrow... 😉

hehe....you go girl

ugh

That sucks! I got around 6 hours left. 😛

Pretty sure you have nothing to complain about petey... when is your last day!?

Yeah.

I still don't even know if I work tomorrow or not.

3.5 hours left. 🙂

I've got one more day after this...unless someone angers me. Then all bets are off. 😈

😳 ummm 0🙂
I guess I'll have to be on my best behavior, thank goodness it's only for one more day. I don't know how long I can act 'good'...

I just had to change the subject of this.

well in that vein....

And they're my last two hours I'll ever have to work at this store!

Ooooo, you're like me ralph. Although, I have to work tomorrow too, but then I'm outta here. Booo Yaaaaa!

I'm not quitting though, just moving to a better store. No more crappy ghetto hole store where half of the people who walk in have a past due balance.

And yes, I have tomorrow off, and I'm being paid for it.

That rocks. I got a NEW job (see previous postings) so I get next week off (unpaid) but then it's down to Dallas for two weeks of training and the weekend in Houston to visit a good friend of mine.

If you need to know any good bars in Dallas, I'll point you in the right direction.

Thanks, but I'll be working during the week, so not too much partying. Then down to Houston for the weekend.

I work during the week, NIGHTS are for going out. Don't worry, when I said point I meant point, not show. I'm not a tour guide.

I hear ya there. No worries. I'll be training with Nokia so I'm pretty sure we'll have a few "guides" taking us out.

Hopefully Nokia will be paying too! Actually, I know someone that works for Nokia. He's a large gay Swede. I'm not sure how many of those work at Nokia out here, but if you see one that's probably him.

If I see a big, gay swede, I'll be sure to say hello for ya. 🤣 Rumor has it that they take us out pretty often and pay for a good chunk of our drinking, eating, etc. Should be fun.

It's a true rumor. I'm friends with the Swede's boyfriend, and they can expense the crap out of anything. Don't say hi to the swede for me though, he doesn't like me cus the previously mentioned boyfriend always tries to make out with me.

🤣 That's always a nice thing. I'm guessing the key word in your post would be "tries".

Yep. I'm glad you took note of it. Yeah, gay guys think I'm hot!

That's always a plus.

you're leaving too?

just a transfer!

sorry, I started that post before Pete but had someone come w/ a question. Didn't mean to make you repeat yourself. Congrats on the transfer.

🤣 I'm so freekin' fast! I can ask a million questions a minute. Ok, not that fast.

It's those fingers how did YOU get so quick? I thought I had the quickest fingers... yep stopping talking now. Take that the way I know you will...

I'll take it whichever way pleases me best. yes, that's what I'll do. Damn, multiple personalities are coming back. Stupid purple monkeys dancing on the mall's floor.

What?! A show, jealous. The idiotic bike boys left, probably past curfew...street lights are on.
I want to start seeing things. ☹️
I'm so bored Pete! ARG.
Our store has a temp manager...did you hear? He's coming up here tomorrow with a 'visitor' do you know anything about this?

I'm sure it's Erik. But who knows, I'd assume that it might be one of the purple monkeys from EPC.

No I know Erik is coming, I don't know who his visitor is.
Heck I don't even know who works here tomorrow.

I don't know about your company, but yaye for 1 hour!!

Erik's visitor is his girlfriend's little brother. No worries. Oh, and you suck for leaving in an hour. I have to wait till nine. Now I'm going to smoke. 😛

I tried to get them extend our hours to 8 instead of 7 but never heard back. I'm sure days like this don't put them in any hurry to hire more employees or keep us open later... not one sale today... at all. Not even a potential sale. WTF.
Oh, OK. Not worried about it then. Not that my perfect self had anything to worry about to begin with. ;)

Be careful about being perfect. Like my favorite comic strip used to say.

Calvin and Hobbes:

Susie and Calvin are getting back a test they took the other day. Susie is excited because she got an A and Calvin responds, "That's too bad. I got a C." Susie is confused by his statement and asks for explaination. To which Calvin says, "You're setting yourself such a high expectations."

That probably wasn't verbatum but you get the basic concept. When you're perfect, you have no where to go but down. 😛

Susie: "Why would you rather get a "C" than an "A"?"

Calvin: "I find it complicates my life alot less when people don't expect much."





FYI-my favorite ever

oh, and screw you all (look at title)

That blows dude. Two hours for me and the mall is actually looking a little busier. Maybe a movie just let out.

Thx, although I still like the Christmas one where Calvin's parents are sitting by the fire on Christmas Eve and Calvin runs in with the fire extinquisher yelling, "What's this?! Santa flambe?!" 🤣

yeah.....I meant Calvin & Hobbes is my favorite ever.

I still read them when I'm in the bathroom at home.

I think I have every book printed. I loved the 10th anniversary edition

i still want a transmografier

Scientific progress goes "boink". Yeah, that would be fun, though I don't think I'd ever want to clone myself, I can barely stand one of me. 🤣

I don't think the world could handle two of you... Nope, don't even want to image what it'd be like.

I meant for some of our "higher ups". 😛 I just won't put up with messages or calls from some of our bosses if they try to complain or rip on me before I leave. I only agreed to work this week cause it helps out the rest of the employees and doesn't screw with their schedules. Basically, I'm trying to be nice, so they best be all smiles to me or adios. 😁 How's the day in BL?

Did you look at the numbers!? Nada. Ive had a few customers with problems come in so at least I haven't been secluded ALL day.
I have some work place gripes but I'm not going to whine about those just now. It's not that big of a deal. I prefer working alone, to the alternative, right now anyway.

I'm sure they appreciate you being a good guy and not Fing the schedule.

😲 some kids are outside here playing on their trick bikes, one was pulling his out of the bed of their Chevy pick-up and the tail gate fell off! 🤣

It always cracks me up to see someone pull up in a crotch-rocket and then fall over cause they don't know how to keep balance. Kinda like walking with a strut. Sure, you look cool, but when you fall on your face because of the way you were walking...yeah, you look like a moron. 😛

If you get nervous, just imagine everybody naked with black socks on. 😛

:::sings:::

BLACK SOCKS THEY NEVER GET DIRTY, THE LONGER YOU WEAR 'EM THE STRONGER THEY GET.
SOMETIMES I THINK I SHOULD WASH THEM BUT SOMETHING INSIDE ME KEEPS SAYING NOT YET NOT YET NOT YET.

I'm not sure where that came from but we sang it all the time in high school. 😎

If you don't wash yours socks for like two to three weeks, they just look like a pair of black (or whatever color they happen to be) feet. Course...I've never done that. 😛
