Cold again

You know, I almost like doing 709s. The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment when I balance one without mishap. I think I misspoke the other day when I said I've never had one not balance. I constantly have them not balance, but I've only once had an issue figuring out what went wrong. Today I got all the 709s from this week balanced. Now the only chore left that Bonnie had for me is to take seven boxes of pre-inventory paperwork into The Room.

I had a problem with Pepsi today. See, we sell some things by the case (think snapple 12-pks) and also by the singles (in with all the single serve soda) and what Pepsi does is they break apart their 12pks to stock the singles. Which means since we brought the singles in under the case upc it hits the zero cost report. So we've started bringing them in as singles somehow. Pepsi's invoice shows cases and then we somehow convert that to singles on our end. And I spent forever figuring it out. I called the other store, which Teresa there doesn't do it this way she just lets it hit the zero cost report. I tried calling Bonnie at home but she apparently wasn't there. I finally figured out that I had to vendor scan it in myself on the computer not the handheld. So I don't know why Bonnie makes them scan it on the gun since you can't use the gun to transmit it you have to handkey it into the computer anyway. If what I did was right, I don't know. I know I used the singles upc and divided the cost of a case between 12 singles and used that and the cost came out right. I know Bonnie explained how to do it once but I don't remember. I think I did it right.

Today was pretty peaceful. Slow for a Friday. I got super cold and had to keep trying different tactics to try and keep my feet from going completely numb. I tried wiggling my toes and shifting my weight and taking more steps than necessary. I would have broke down and put my big coat on but no one else complains about the cold and they run around in just a sweater. It's a matter of pride that I didn't put on my big coat. Stupid, yes, maybe. But I'd have looked even stupider if I'd put on my big coat.

I felt kinda bad for Dustin today. Last night John was up front checking a lot so dairy was pretty bad. A pallet and a half from Wednesday still back there and almost all the yogurts were empty. Zhaun called him in at 8:00 and then at 10:00 he had to do the trucks. I would have spent some time helping him but by time I was done with everything it was time for me to leave and I didn't want to stay on overtime to help him. Let him feel how it is to not have time to do anything. At least he doesn't have to do the orders!

Dustin and George the truck driver were talking about some job or other Dustin could do to get lots of money really quick if he went away for a month or two or something I wasn't listening real hard. Dustin has talked off and on of quitting sometime or other. But he was saying that he didn't want to leave Katie for that long. I think the money could be worth it. I wouldn't want him to go anywhere because I don't want to have to search for a new guy when I'm leaving in a bit here. Apparently he has 30 years to pay off his house. eugh. What kind of palace did he get for Katie? I also heard him saying once that he only buys the most expensive cat food because Katie tells him to. You know, I'm really not sure how Katie and Dustin ended up together. She's all barbie perfect with perfect skin, a cute/sweet face, long lashes, beachy blonde hair, good nails, and she doesn't really work much (though she has done bakery and go-backs at the store I'm not sure what else she does). Dustin is short, his nose sticks out quite a ways, he used to have acne or something and I think he still does some I don't look close, he's super shy, has a low voice, and horridly ugly hands (though he might have some medical issue I've seen him putting gel stuff on the sores/scabs/wounds/whatever). Maybe she likes that he works so much, pays for her makeup and house and pets.

Anyway, Dustin was saying if he had a job that paid this amount (whatever amount I didn't hear) he could retire in 10 years and he and George were laughing about being able to retire before 30. I managed to maintain my air of not paying attention to them so no comments or questions were directed my way. How would I even answer the question of, "So do you plan to escape at some point?" Uh, yeah, I've been plotting and scheming since August towards that end.


I saw the first of the Boba episodes of Clone Wars last night. He actually kinda does have a good reason for wearing Clone youth clothes. *sigh* Yes, I was wrong. I am glad they showed the difference of personalities between Boba and Aurra Sing. To show they don't like each other. And having Bossk's dad there helps too because that shows the beginning of why Boba and the Bounty Hunter's Guild don't get along. Boba had a worthy goal and me and Victor were both saddened that it failed. The episode does show how good Boba is, even as a kid, with a few mistakes you'd expect a child to make. They had angst about Jango and about how Boba feels about the Clonetroopers. Oh, Boba, my sweet, dearest Boba.

I decided to start reading  Star Wars: Red Harvest. I'm about 50 pages in. So far it's... interesting? Nearly each chapter has been from a different viewpoint and I'm not sure who the main character is supposed to be. I get a vague sense of an over-arching story. But so far I'm not very impressed.
