The new week is starting off with temps in the mid 70s (F) here in Central PA. Yesterday our thermometers climbed up into the upper 90s (F), in fact the temp was 98 (F) on my ride home from work. That was a bit warmer than the weather forecasters had predicted. Their prediction for today is a high in the upper 80s (F), we'll have to see how close they come.
And yesterday was pretty much a meh day since I spent most of it at the flooring desk. I did hit my measure and lead goals for the week, and no, I didn't not set up follow up appointments in order to try and force customers to buy. This is not only about closing that sale as soon as possible, but also about micro-managing your associates. Believe me, the great orange retailer I work for has always been micro-management oriented. It is corporate headquarters in Atlanta who decides when the A/C goes on in the summer and the heat goes on in the winter.
There was a moment of brevity yesterday when a senior woman came up to me and showed me a 1/4 inch nut and told me it was brass. She then asked if I had brass nuts, of course I knew what she meant and told her where she could find brass nuts. Still, that bit of levity was shared by myself and others several times over.
I've been watching Murderbot on Apple TV. Who ever that that Alexander Sarsgaard could be funny. One of the many things I like about the show is its opening theme. It reminds me of those old TV shows that had themes composed by up and coming composers, like Lost in Space. How many know that the composer behind that theme was John Williams... you know, the Jaws, John Williams. Here's the theme from Murderbot.
