electric sheep.

amazing.

Dreaming.

so the other night sometime past midnight, I woke up to the sound of a yell. not a scream or shriek, but a forceful yell.

it was miriam.

this is how the event went down.

me: (asleep)

miriam: AAAAHHHHHH!

me: "miriam, whats wrong? are you ok? why are you yelling?"

miriam: "i was dreaming... i was chasing a bad guy... and (sigh) i caught him, ...and was throwing dishes at him"

me: "what?!" (i commence to laugh hysterically)

miriam: (laughs then goes back to sleep)


it is one of those stories that will be an inside joke for us for years. i still will think about it and chuckle to myself.

hope you enjoyed it.

smellin good.

So after more than a decade i have decided to change deodorant. i have been using right guard aerosol since i started using deodorant. but alas i have grown to think there may be a better type out there, so i started researching.

decided to try a "stick" type, and went to target. after extensively looking through the selection, i chose right guard xtreme ultra gel.



its definitely different but in a good way. i think its working pretty good, this is the first day of use.

i know that no one probably cares about this but i thought its kinda a medium deal in my life since i dont typically change things that often.

Customers.

oh the joys of working with the public. and the worst kind of public, consumers. here is some examples.

i had a lady today try and argue with me about a price of some toys. these wooden little people, they come 2 in a set with a little book. we sell them for 3 bucks. so there were 2 sets both missing a "person" in the clearance section. they had been marked down to 1.50 each. so for the price of 1 normal set you would be getting 2 people and 2 books. well she thought they should be 1 dollar a piece since they were incomplete. i explained to her that there was nothing wrong with them just that one person was missing from each and they had been reduced by half, yada yada...

so she still tries to ague with me, and keeps saying "you understand right?" in a russian accent. so i explain it a different way telling her she is actually getting an extra book for the price of a "regular" set.

still tries to argue.

at this point im fed up and tell her the manager is up front and she can tell him.

and guess what he told her the SAME THING. she bought them for 1.50 each. BAM!

so i might start doing this weekly, telling about customer situations. so others can enjoy it.

Know when to hold 'em.

so i played texas hold 'em. on satuday with some of the guys from our small group. i had to lean specifically fro this night, because i had never played.

my solution i went on youtube and watched a bunch of how to vids.

ill admit that i was not too excited because it seemed that the sole purpose of this game is to win money, and thats the only time that it is fun.

well i was wrong, i had a blast. and i actually did pretty well. it was a $15 buy in for the night and i went home with $17.75. so i managed to keep my $15, which was my goal and actually made some money.

we are thinking of making it more regular event. which i think i would like. have a guys night and a girls night.

next time i might wear a cowboy hat.
