Today is going to be super duper humid. Our morning temp of 70 (F) will climb into the upper 80s (F) and there will be a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Those last 3 words seem to be something we have been saying a lot here lately. The next 3 days are predicted to be warmer. Yeah, we're going to be tapping into those 90 degree days again. After that we will hopefully begin heading into cooler Autumn temps.
I worked yesterday, and there was a bit of an incident. A couple came into the department looking for a specific color of carpet. As she said, "we slept in and their dog had torn up the carpet at the door trying to get out of the bedroom." I told them there was no way they were going to find the color they needed, we have a limited color selection, and since carpet was in an apartment, there was no way to know where it had been purchased. I suggested covering the spot with an area rug. The husband told me his wife was the one who wanted to replace the carpet. She didn't listen, chose a color, we cut her a section. Four hours later she brought the carpet back because it was the wrong color. Our Service Desk returned it. We don't do returns on cut carpet because they're an instant loss. When I told her this, she got angry and said I was being disrespectful to her in front of her kids. Sadly, I got the impression she'd played this game before, playing the victim. We cut her another section of carpet, which was still going to be the wrong color, and she went to the Service Desk where I'm sure they gave it to her for free. After she'd left, the other flooring specialist looked at me and said, "you weren't being disrespectful." I do get tired of this.
Oh, and I get to work again this afternoon.
I found this funny. Evidently the members of Orangie's cabinet are very upset.

Oh the joys of retail. I can just picture the scene and hear the voice of the poor disrespected “victim.”
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to the downfall of OA King and his court jesters.
I'm starting to enjoy those snippets of press conferences where people ask him questions he hates.
DeleteI laughed my ass off looking at the ranking of presidents according to the orange arse. He seems to have it all wrong. He is the greatest at being a dumb idiot and I would think at the very bottom of the chart. I am very happy that Mark Carney is telling the world the truth and is not afraid of the rumpster. I wish more Americans would have the balls to do the same. The orange one shows his weakness and desperation every day. It’s time to kick him in the clackers. Gigi
ReplyDeleteA lot of people in America thank Mark Carney daily.
DeleteIf they don't know or won't answer vote anyone aligned with them out of office.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell just vote them all out.
They simply don't understand how much they are hated.
DeleteIf they can't take simple questions and take the heat, then maybe they should leave the kitchen. That We the People have to put up with this is unacceptable. Thanks to the one who did vote for this shitshow.
ReplyDeleteIm finding today pleasant out actually.
They wouldn't be able to steal if they left the kitchen.
DeleteOh, yes.
ReplyDeleteRetail Karen. She’s everywhere and usually gets away with murder because people are super polite. She gets off on the power trip. Eff her. She’ll end up replacing the whole thing. I feel sorry about the doggie tho.
And the whole beef thing? Ridiculous. The farmers will still vote Repug.
Tiniest of violins.
XOXO
I felt bad for the dog, too, because it's a year old pup and she placed all the blame on the dog.
DeleteMark my words, Trumpenführer will do everything he can to declare a national emergency following up to the midterm elections. And the Gang of Six at the Supreme Court will approve, as the Repubs rubber stamp it.
ReplyDeleteRex in DC
and then America will hunt them down and treat them like the war criminals they are.
