The Win Win Situation

 So, yesterday was hot and sticky, then we had some rain (not a big storm), and no it's cool.  Nice and cool.  After a number of days of 90 degree (F) weather, our temp is only going to climb into the mid 70s (F) today.  I can live with that.

I also worked.  It was meh.  They have initiate a new process within the specialist departments.  They now want us to set up an appointment for the customers to come back and talk about their quote after they have been measured.  While I can see the logic in this, I also know it's really a way for us to sell the installation as fast as possible.  Honestly, I don't think it will work that well.  Too many people have to juggle their schedules in order to get the measure set up and a measure only takes 5 minutes.  The convenience of coming in when they have the spare time is going to be lost.  Most will also realize we're setting that appointment not so much for us to go over their quote with them, but for them to pull out their credit card and pay for the installation.  This is true for all specialty associates, so if someone comes in to look at an appliance, you're supposed to set up an appointment for them to come back and purchase.  As I said, I don't think this program is going to go over well.

I stayed up late last night watching TV.  Actually, I watched one of my favorite movies:  Aliens.  This was the first film in which a strong, female protagonist was the store.  Sigourney Weaver has never been better.

And, as usual, the shit show and, or, clown circus of this administration continued yesterday.  The drunkard Hegseth gave some sort of presser yesterday morning in which he yelled a lot.  He was overly animated, some say because he was drinking.  Honestly, I think it's because he's so completely unqualified for the job and in his alcohol riddled brain such animation is a sign of strenght.

Orangie approved of his animation.

This morning Governor Newsom of California sued Fox Entertainment because they lied about his phone call with the Orange Anus.  He wants $787 million and an on air apology from Jesse Watters.  Since he no doubt recorded the conversation, this should be a slam dunk.  Fox will never learn.  In Rupert Murdoch's mind, as long as they're making more than $787 million it's a win, win situation.
