News of the weird
Sep. 7th, 2004 11:03 amFirst. A warning. Again I'm not in a good mood. Although I'm slowly coming out of my funk. Mmmm. Junk food.
Tonight... last night, whatever, Walgreens got robbed. Gasp! Shock! Horror! Only it's not half as dramatic as that statement implies. This guy came into the store five or six times [at least three times that I saw him] and the last time he bought a candy bar [Baby Ruth] and when Rose was putting the cash in the register, he reached over and took a twenty. He then strolled out of the store and when the doors have closed she freaks out. I think she was in shock. I know I'd be. Or else I'd say something incredibly stupid like, "what the fuck do you think you're doing?" Because when I get stressed at work, my first reaction is to swear under my breath. As demonstrated later.
Anyway, I only found this out so fast because after he took the cash but before she started swearing, she called our boss over the intercom thing and she sounded really weird, so I went to investigate. That's when she started swearing. Loudly.
So. Lots of cop appearances. Two guys got pulled off the street or something, but neither was the right guy. One knew who did it though once they explained the mix up. The dude was found around 5:15 this morning because the dumbass was rummaging through Rose's car. This odd lady who walks around our parking lot at the asscrack of dawn saw him and called it in. Dude. Add insult to injury, why don't you? God.
For me this meant spending a lot of time at the front of the store. Fun, eh? Yeah.
And then this morning 8am came and went and no sign of Pam. 8:15 came and went. No Pam. My mom [who picks me up in the morning due to my legally not driving and the one vehicle working currently] comes in at 8:20 and says if I don't get to leave soon, she's going to have to go home, get some money, go to the bank, and then come back for me. Those who aren't me will probably think, "so?" That's at least half an hour, perhaps more. At work. After 6 days in a row. I was so pissed I muttered a very soft "Fuuuuuuuuuuuck" and prayed Barb, the cosmetics queen didn't hear. I also tried not to cry because I was really miserable at the thought of being there any longer than I had to be. That and I was hungry and while I don't really mind the job all that much, I do not like working after 8. People come in and I work nights for a reason. To only have to deal with drunk people, not hungover people.
I wanted to fly so you gave me your wings
Anyway. I didn't have to stay for an additional half an hour. A minute later Pam called and three minutes later Ebony came up to take over. Good thing about Satan is that he fears having to pay overtime and I think having to pay me in addition to the five or six people already on the payroll for the day would have killed him. :p
open your eyes, i'll still be by your side
La la la. Quite dull I am. Better dull than robbed, I suppose.
My bottom lip is chapped. Pain. Didn't notice until just now. Salt + chapped lip? Yes! Pain. Oh.
Those that keep up with these things, Charmed is mentioned, complete with Nick/Alyssa pic, in the new Entertainment Weekly. Nothing new if you've been keeping up with the Brad Kern idiotic ramblings.
If only Crimson Chin were here!
Oh, sure, ask for another guy in tights! Cosmo & Wanda
