got my book!

We found out last week that the Kreameries milk is not a WIC item because there's not enough nutrition in it.

Zhaun did the grocery truck today and it shows. I had two hours to spare tonight. Which is unusual anyway because normally there's lots of things I need to fill so I don't have time to work on the load. Today I got one whole pallet of freight broke down and worked. That hasn't happened on a Wednesday in a very long time.

Remember a while back I spoke of the guy with the canvas bags on his feet who bought an insane amount of egg beaters? He was in again today and apparently got some shoes. Good. We only had one of the quarts of Kroger egg beaters on the shelf and he asked me if we had any more. I said no. He got upset and was all, "*whine whine* I take the bus *whine* it's really inconvenient for me when you don't keep it in stock *whine whine*" I said, quietly, "Well, maybe other people like buying that too." How do you think the next person who comes by thinks when they see I'm out of that product  because you had to buy eight or ten of them which wipes me out? Maybe they wanted some too. What do you even DO with that much egg beaters anyway? Because he'd gotten upset I proceeded to go into the cooler and hide the two cases of the egg beaters I had so that if he complained to Bret and Bret came to see if I was lying he wouldn't find them. But nothing ever came of it and a few hours later when I was sure he was gone I filled the shelf. I don't care that he didn't get his precious eight or nine quarts of egg beaters. He still bought one quart and two dozen eggs. That is more than plenty for any one person to eat eggs for two weeks at the very minimum. Surely by then he'd need to run out for milk or something and can get one or two more. No need to wipe me out of something and cause the next person an inconvenience. I sacrificed one person's selfish greed happiness in order to make at least seven more people happy. I think that's a fair trade off.

I probably should have made a bale. We've needed it for a few hours now. And I purposefully didn't make one. Let night crew know how it's like to come in to work to find no one's made a bale. Let them make one for once, I wouldn't want them to forget how to do it. As often as they leave it for me they deserve this.

Victor picked up my book, Green Rider 4: Blackveil. Finally. Apparently mine wasn't late as their first shipment came in today. I want to call them idiots because it's a new release, you're supposed to order new releases to come in at least a day or two before the sell date. Now, thanks to their incompetence, everyone in this town is eight days behind everyone else and all the other fans have already finished reading by now. I read the jacket sleeve inside thing and there is no plot description! It's basically a telling of events, which is good that she put it there. I know it's necessary to have a few pages in the beginning describing events from previous books but it gets so tiring. At least now I know there will be very little of that. And I guess I already knew what the book would be about. We all did. I'm going to start reading it tomorrow. If I start tonight I'll never get to bed.

And as it is 8:25 I am going to go try to sleep.
