Nick picked me up. Corey was off today so he wasn't with Nick. I was dropped off behind Radio Shack. I walked to H and R Block. They called me on Mon saying my taxes were ready. I went in and waited a few mins for the receptionist. She finally came out. She then said my tax preparer wanted to talk with me. I went back to my tax preparer's cubicle. Her name is Liz. I forgot her last name. Liz asked me if I wanted their fee taken out out of my refund. I said yes. She then told me it would be an extra $34.00 to that because of bank fee's or some other bullshit. I then told her I'd just pay. I told her I'd be in next week and she said whenever's fine. I have until Apr. 15. I'm getting $418.00 back from the feds. and $488.00 back from the state. I'll use the money to get a car, hopefully.
I met Tara as I was walking in front of Radio Shack on my way to Panera. It was just before 11:00 a.m. and the store hadn't opened yet. I walked to Panera and bought a large cup of hazelnut coffee. I walked back to Radio Shack. Tara said she thought Ken was opening but he wasn't on the schedule for today. Tara was visiting different stores and wasn't even supposed to be there today. It's a good thing she showed up because I might have left if I saw that the store was closed. Fed Ex had already been by. They dropped off 5 packages at Great Clips and I went there to get them. Great Clips is 2 doors down. I took an A.T.G. It was easy and there was only 1 question at the end of it. It was about selling cell phones. Tara and I just hung out and sold shit. I gave her one of my old Radio Shack business cards from about 16 yrs. ago. It's so old that the area code on there is 414 instead of 262. I worked at the Lake Geneva Radio Shack before the area code was changed.
Justin showed up but I'm not sure at what time. Tara left shortly after Justin arrived. She gave me my carton of Winston Ultra Lights before she left.
After Tara left Justin and I put away the order. It was a force feed order that had been delivered to Great Clips. After the order was put away Justin and I sold shit. Oddly enough nobody sold a cell phone today, not prepaid or contract. Our store pretty much is the leader in cell phone sales.
I shot up in the back room. I punched out for lunch and walked to Culver's. I ordered a fish dinner. I ate it there. I walked back to Radio Shack and punched back in. Dave, the former manager at Radio Shack, came in with his wife, Gretchen. It was the first time he'd been in the store sine he was fired in Aug. He walked around and checked out the store. Justin went to lunch. Dave and Gretchen bought batteries and a mouse pad. It was nice to see them. They're both cool.
The guy I sold the MP3 player to the other day came back. I sold him a 4G and he now wated an 8G. I exchanged it. He put the 2 year service plan on the 8G player too.
Justin returned from lunch. He Brought out his iPad and we p[layed game. We played Boggle, Holes and Balls, and Angry Chicken. I beat him in one Boggle game and he said he never gets beat. I wasn't adept at working an iPad either. I'm still not.
Todd Richardson came in. His girlfriend, or who I assume to be his girlfriend was with him. Todd used to be in Carry Nation, a local rock band. I thought they rocked. I don't like the lead singer though, Chris Humphries. Anyway Todd wanted an adpator. I showed him the one he needed. I asked him if he could get a copy of "Atomic Love". That CD rocks and I've been looking for it for 15 yrs. now. It's hard to come by. His girlfriend said she might have a copy in the car. She went out to look. She only had the jewel case. Todd said to give it to me. I have no idea why a jewel case would peak my interest. It had all the artwork though. Todd said he'd return with the CD. I told him the days I work at Radio Shack and he said he'll bring it in. We'll see.
Justin and I just waited it out until closing. I gave him one of my old business cards. He said it was a piece of Americana. He sold a computer. I was going to vacuum but the vacuum cleaner is broken. The handle is broken in two. I managed to vacuum the front of the store but it was ver difficult. I just picked up the big pieces in the sales area and in the back of the store.
Once the store closed I walked to Wal-Mart. I bought some shit. I bought a little bit of food too, pork chops in particular. I bought slim CD jewel cases and a pair of shorts among other things, mostly toiletries. After I checked out I waited on the bench for Nick. He said he'd be there shortly after 10:00 p.m. and he didn't show up until 10:45 p.m. He said he was hanging out with Carly. That's his girlfriend's name.
When I got home I noticed that my modem wasn't working. I installed the new modem that SBC sent me. The guy said he cancelled the shipment of the new modem but it got here anyway. I wonder if they'll start bitching for the old modem's return soon.
