Good/Sad Day the Twentieth
Posted Nov 19, 2011
So today fell into two parts.
The Good.
The Snow Meow and I went on our usual shopping trip to the large plaza nearish his den, to have lunch, still no karage chicken! And to check out the dvd store, and to peruse phone covers, I got 2, and the Snow Meow got 1. I thin we have nearly bought all the available styles now 
Part way through the mall, The Snow Meow drags me off to a shop...it was the Pandora store. http://www.pandora.net/en-au/
Much choosing later, I came out with a loverly shiney oxidised silver bracelet, with 2 beads, a dragon, and my star sign, and also 2 rhomboid clip beads, that clip over the bracelet, and breaks it into sections. It was an early xmas pressie, I was much happy 
.
The Sad.
In the early hours of the 19th, The Snow Meow found his cat, Soxs, lying in the driveway. She appeared to have been hit by a car, so he rushed her off to the nearest vet (thanks to his gps on his phone), he had a bit of a wait as a pup was there before him.
With the injuries she had, which were quite severe, dislocated shoulder, and a leg broken in 2 place, and her age, 19 nearly 20, the sad decision was made to put her to sleep 
Soxs will be sorely missed,She was a tiny, tiny cat, barely 2kgs, and even though she was deaf, mostly blind and senile, she still loved to climb onto the nearest warm lap and have her jaw scritched.
R.I.P Soxs

Nothing. Day the Nineteenth
Posted Nov 18, 2011
Not much happened today.
At least I remembered I started work at 1pm.
And then I had this encounter,whilst putting away a pallet of Sabco (cleaning stuff)
Cast:
Me = Me
odd person = OP (middle aged male)
So, OP comes up to me and asks if we sell Oates extendible handles, I tell him we used to, but we don't any more (Head Orifice suck), sorry.
OP say oh, okay and wanders off.
OP comes back with an Oates cobweb broom that has an extendible handle.
OP: *with a big grin* This is what I want
me: *nods happily*
OP: but I don't want the head
me: sorry but that is how it comes
OP: but I don't want the head
Me: er, that is how it comes
OP: but I don't want the head!
Me: ah, I can take the head off, but the price will be the same.
OP: that's good
* Me unscrews the head*
OP: so how much will this be?
Me: the same price
OP: but is hasn't got a head
Me: the handle isn't sold separately, the price is the same, with or with out the head
OP: okay
*me screws had back on and hands broom to OP*
OP: I don't want the head! Take it off!
*my heart sinks and my head hurts*
*Me unscrew the head and hands OP the pole*
OP: so how much is this again>
Me: xx.xx
OP: but it doesn't have a head!
*me puts head back on*
OP: I don't want the head!
rinse, and repeat x3
* OP stomped off sans handle*
I know he wanted me to mark the pole down, but seriously, I repeatedly told him WE DO NOT SELL THE HANDLES SEPARATELY!
I was not going to take a head of a perfectly good broom, and mark it down at a loss just so he could get the handle.....
That did my head in, I spent the rest of the night putting stuff away and chuckling to myself, some peoples are just odd

Fan! Day the Eighteenth
Posted Nov 17, 2011
Coming into xmas time, and coming into our summer, here at work we suddenly get inundated with two things....fairy/xmas lights, and fans...lots and lots of both.
The lights are always interesting and pretty to look at, and we will be totally sold out by xmas eve, but for now, they are overflowing everywhere, we have displays and pallets and stacks in every place through the store.
As for fans.....we only stock fans from September to January, as Head Orifice doesn't think it is hot here after January,in reality is is hot here till about May.
One of the multitude of fans that came in this week , was this cute little mini tower fan, it is about 35cms high, and 8cms across the bottom, it is circular with a grill on the front and back, and an LED light on top, it will make a loverly desk fan come the hot summer days, .... and before anyone asks...yes, it is red

Paint! Day the Seventeenth
Posted Nov 16, 2011
I put away paint today, a rather lot of paint.......and doing several pallets of 15 litre tins is really not fun, my arms and shoulders are killing me.
Oates didn't arrive today, I can't wait till M gets back from holidays and we get Oates on a Wednesday again, if Oates comes in, I don't have to do paint!
I probably should post a few statistics about how many brooms and mops we sell every week, the cleaning aisle averages $145,000.00/month. We are the biggest seller in the state of cleaning products.
And on another note, my email account was hacked last week and I can't seem to get it back
I have had that account since just before getting my h2g2 account, and it looks to me, that because I don't send mail to my contacts much, that I won't be able to get it back. I am quite distressed by this, as I have no idea how to get in contact with my contacts, and all my billing stuffs go to this account, I will have to spend this weekend working out how to get all that stuff over to a new email 
, sometimes the internet is not so good

Ordinary! Day the Sixteenth
Posted Nov 15, 2011
Today was an ordinary day, nothing much happened, I got up, I used my new toaster, I went to work, I picked a pallet and put it way, then I picked another pallet and put it away.
I teased the decorator Co-Ordinator about some promotional stock he got in, and made him put it away 
We did so good putting stuff away, we ended the night early by half an hour, oh the joy 
since I don't have much to say I will tell you about a customer from a few weeks ago...
in script form
Me = Me
SS = Speschul Snowflake (the ones that think they are better or above everyone else, and that the rules don't apply to them)
For background, I am in Replenishment, I often go to the box bays behind the registers to, well, put empty boxes in them for customers to reuse, as we don't offer plastic bags, I do not know how to use a register.
SS: You there, ring me through, I am in a hurry
Me: didn't think the lady was talking to me, so I kept turfing boxes into the bays.
SS: *raises voice*
Oi you Girl! Ring me through, I am in a hurry
Me: *blinks at being called a girl*
Er You'll have to go to one of the open registers, I am not a register operator
*I gesture about 6 metres away (about 18'),there is 3 registers open with only one or two people at each.*
SS: Nonsense, I don't have time to wait, just get on a register and ring me out!
Me: I'm sorry, but I work in replenishment, I don't know how to work a register....there are registers open just over there *gesture*
SS *getting very irate and haughty*
Nonsense! you are just lazy and don't want to put me through!
SS then literally throws the basket of goods to the ground and stomps out muttering about bad service...
The register operators, the people greeter, and myself all look at each other and are going to each other WTF? Was she serious? Did you see that?
We had a bit of a laugh and the night continued, and the world turned, and some one, some where, was sitting in the dark, as they had thrown their light bulbs on the ground, instead of purchasing them like a normal person
