Toy Time

 Well, the temps did climb into the low 80s (F) yesterday and it was... nice.  What a shame that I had to work.  Temps are supposed to be warm again both today and tomorrow, however storms are predicted to spoil everything in the late afternoon of both days.  Tuesday, my day off, the forecast is for us to return to season temps which are... a tad cooler.

And the warmer temps brought out the shoppers yesterday.  The last time I had checked the flooring department had sales totaling over $36 thousand.  I began working at 2, however by 3 foot traffic was in an obvious decline.  We did have a customer who's attempts to wheedle us with various coupons and discounts on his phone that we were forced to put a stop to his sale.  At one point he wanted to apply for a pro-contractor credit card in order to get the pro discount.  He had difficulty in understand that having a business was not the same thing as a person who's sole income come from remodeling a bathroom, or a kitchen.  Luckily we had an assistant manager working with him and she politely educated him on the difference.

This is also a Success Sharing weekend.  They bring in food.  I've been counting calories, but decided to stop yesterday and today since I happen to be a grazer.  Yesterday we all got a personal pan pizza with the toppings of our choice.  I chose a white pan pizza with mushrooms and artichoke hearts.  Scrumptious.  Today is ice cream sundae Sunday.

And my new heart rate monitor arrived yesterday.  It has a much needed upgrade: you can easily replace the battery.  With older models you needed to removed 4 teeny weeny screws with a tiny screwdriver,  That's no longer the case.

For those who don't know, it's always toy time here.

In case you haven't been able to read the signs, the Orange Anus is lava level angry, that's about ten grades above and beyond his being furious.  Remember, in his world he never makes mistakes, he is never wrong.  This Signal Chat screw up has exposed his total incompetence.  He put in unqualified idiots into his cabinet, idiots who would always say "yes," and now the world is laughing at him, and he's doing what he does best:  making things worse by doubling down.  How can I (we) tell?  He said that he's absolutely not going to replace any of the people on that chat, that would mean he screwed up by picking those idiots.  an even better example is his saying, "we are taking Greenland."  I can't even imagine the protest that will happen if he follows through on that.  The worst example was him saying in an interview that he "doesn't care if auto prices go up."  That's right, he doesn't care if American's suffer.  Shit!  But than Orangie has never cared for the American people, he's never cared for America.  In his mind we are just another product he can barter with.
