Before I got a ride into work I walked to Kim D's. trailer. I wanted to see if she could give me a ride on Fri. She yelled from in the shower, "I'm in the shower." It was loud enough so I could hear her. I yeleed back that I'd return later but I don't think she heard me. I never did have the time to walk back there.
On the walk back to my trailer from Kim D's trailer my immediate southern neighbor was coming out of her trailer. She of course stopped me and said hi to me. We talked for a couple of mins. She was waiting for a ride too. I don't know her name. I probably should find that out. She works at McDonald's in Elkhorn and her ride came just minutes before mine.
Chad picked me up. He brought up why I didn't come into work at Delmart last night. I told him I had diarrhea. That usually shuts people up but not this guy. He said I should eat a fiber bar. I told him I'll do that.
I was dropped off at Radio Shack. Tony was working. I brought the 2 boxes of empty water bottles inside. I filled them right away. Since I didn't start work until noon and it was before 11:00 a.m. I left. I walked to Wal-Mart. I cashed my federal tax return check at my bank inside there. I walked to Panera. I bought a large cup of hazelnut coffee. I didn't have my rewards card with me but they found my accound by using my phone number. I walked to Radio Shack.
It was rather busy so I asked Tony if I should punch in. He said it didn't matter. I punched in. It was about 11:20 a.m. I dealt with customers. Tony and I just dealt with customers and tried to figure out the key situation. I was closing and I didn't have a key. Tony couldn't give me his because he's opening tomorrow. I suggested that Tony give me his key and I would open the store with him tomorrow. He didn't like that idea. This wouldn't have been a problem had Justin's car not blown up. Justin has quit but he still had the key on Sunday. On that day, after he went to church, his car blew up. I saw the pics of it. It actually just caught fire while he was driving. He got out but then the car did explode. WTF is that? How does that happen? Justin is fine. He'll be laughing about it one day. My key was in the car and it blew up or melted. Justin was going to give the key to Tony on Tue., which was his last day. I was to be given the key today. I don't know if he even made it in to work on Tue. I know the key didn't.
My friend, Andy Cruz, came in. His son was with him. It was his son's 18th birthday. He got a Rumor Touch cell phone with Virgin. Andy was telling me he doesn't have long to live. He was matter of fact about it but how else can a person be? I don't even know what his ailment is. I'll miss him when he's gone. He probably won't survive the year out. I hope I'm wrong. I hope his doctors are wrong.
I sold a Sprint phone to some girl. I don't remember which phone it was. It might have been an Optimus. I sold another Sprint phone, actually two to one person. He was going to get a Rumor Touch for himself and then Tony noticed his wife was eligiable for an upgrade too. Tony talked the guy into getting a cell phone for his wife. The guy chose a Sanyo Vero for his wife. I activated them both. I got the service plan on them both. He also bought screen protectors and a car charger. It was a good sale. Tony also sold 3 Sprint cell phones to one customer. Selling cell phones took up most of the afternoon until Jose arrived.

Jose showed up. He solved our key dilemma by producing Ken's keys. Ken had the foresight to give Jose his keys before he left last night. Had Jose not had the keys, Tony was going to go to Ken's house to get them. Neither Tony nor I knew that Ken gave Jose his keys so when Jose had them we were both happy.
We pretty much just hung out and dealt with customers until I shot up in the back room. After I did that I walked to Subway. I ordered a 12" meatball pepperoni sandwich on white. I put bacon on it. I got the meal. I ate it there. I walked back to Radio Shack.
Tony was about to leave when I returned. Before he did he said for Jose and me to work on the phone accessories planogram. We did. Tony left. Before he left he showed me how to check our daily sales. That's a cool thing and a motivator. I'm glad he showed me how to do that. The planogram had major changes. Whole panels were moved. It was harder than most planograms and too up all of our time. There was only about 30 mins. left when we finished. We didn't even do a good job. There were a lot of items not in the planogram that we had to find places for. I think it looks like shit. I don't know why Raadio Shack, or other stores for that matter, are always moving their stock around. I hate that. The customers hate that. I'f I owned a store I wouldn't move shit around for 50 yrs. I might not even do it then. Of course we had to deal with customers and phone calls while working on this.
After we finished working on the planogram I walked to Wal-Mart. I had already taken the trash out and found a box in the paper dumpster that was still assembled and perfect for my water bottles. I had only brought 10 water bottles so I wanted to get at least 2 more anyway. I found a cart and pushed it with the empty box inside to Wal-Mart. I bought 8 gallons of water, six for the new box and two for the old box. As I was waiting in line to check out I wanted cupcakes. There was a display of Hostess products just on the wall, which was only a few feet away. I walked to it and got some strawberry cupcakes. As I was walking back some woman asked me if I was Nikky. I couldn't place her right away. She said her name was Angie. I immediately recognized her when she said that. It was Angie Kettledon. I haven't seen her in over 20 yrs. She and I were very close back in the day. I checked out and then she and I talked for a little while. I had to get back to Radio Shack to close the store but I can always make time for Angie. Twenty years just melted away in 2 seconds. She had her son with her. He's in karate but I forgot his rank. I forgot his name. She said she's engaged. Her fiance showed up while we were talking. She said we used to hang out back in the day. I didn't remember him. That's ok because he didn't remember me. Angie was surprised. She expected both of us to remember each other. I forgot his name too but he seems like a cool guy. It was great to see her again.
All four of us walked out together. They went to their car and I walked back to Radio Shack. I got all the boxes of water and put them in Jose's truck. I used the back door for this and a cart. I vigorously pushed the cart across the street back into Wal-Mart's lot and then went back in and closed the store. Jose drove me home.
I called Kim D. when I got inside. She answered. She said she could give me a ride on Fri.
