Chad picked me up. For a time I thought he had forgotten because his cell phone wasn't answered. I called his home phone and Kim B. answered. She said he was on his way. She said his cell phone was in the closet.
I was dropped off at Radio Shack. I brought 2 boxes of empty water bottles inside. Tony was working. After I put the boxes in the back hallway I walked to Wal-Mart. I bought hydrogen peroxide, foot cream, and Listerine. I bought one large bottle and one small bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a small bottle of Listerine. I'm going to take the small bottles to Erica's the next time I go over there. I also got 2 bottles of NPH.
I walked to Panera. I got a large cup of hazelnut coffee and a cobblestone muffin. Aiesha was there. She just got back from California yesterday. She was at the counter placing her order and I realized it was her when she turned and I was still in line. I hugged her and welcomed her back. I asked if she was going to sit down inside and she said yes but that she was going to talk with someone. That was ok by me. I sat at a table and ate the muffin and drank my coffee. After I finished the muffin I filled my cup again and left. I saw Aiesha talking to some woman. I think she was being interviewed for a job there.
I walked back to Radio Shack. Tony said that I could have a cell phone sale. I didn't argue with him. The guy came in right away. Tony had already spoken with him. I sold the phone. Tony transferred the guy's contacts from his old phone to his new phone. He did this manually one by one. The guy had 12 contacts.
After the guy left I just helped customers. I filled the bottles with water. I took two A.T.G.s. One was on the new dervice plans for cell phones. There is a variety of options now. Radio Shack's new service plans for cell phones can cover everything except loss, theft, or purposeful damage. Let's be real though. Who in his/her right mind would say he/she took a hammer to his/her cell phone even if that was the case. The other A.T.G. was on cameras. I had to take both more than once because I didn't pass the quiz on either the first time.
After I finshed the A.T.G.s I hung around the sales floor and helped customers. Tony worked on planograms. We have a cascading display now. It looks ok but it hold less stock. The whole store is going to be rearranged. Tony continued to do this throughout the day.
Ken showed up. Tony went to lunch. Tony returned from lunch. I shot up in the back room. I called China 1 and placed my order. I punched out for lunch and walked there. I ate my shrimp with lobster sauce all day special there. It was ok but it wasn't spectacular. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
I walked back to Radio Shack. Tony left. Ken and I helped customers for the rest of the night. It was steady. A woman came in because her FM transmitter stopped working. We gave her another one of the same brand and model. She returned within a minute and said it didn't work. We pulled the last one off the shelf and tested it in the store before we gave it to her. It didn't work. All of us thought it was rather amazing that 3 of the same thing didn't work. We refunded her money.
I called Heather at Delmart. I asked her if she could give me a ride Fri. She said she doesn't trust her car to travel farther than she has to. I get her an interview at Radio Shack, schedule her interview to coincide with my start time, and she can't give me a ride to work. Some people are unbelievable. John Finley came in and I asked him if he could give me a ride on Fri. He said to call him on Thu. night and gave me his number.
After we closed the store Ken gave me his keys. I walked to Wal-Mart. I looked for Nicole at Subway. She wasn't there. I looked for Melody or Sally on the registers. Neither were there. I saw Luis and asked him if Sally or Melody were working. He said Melody was working but she was in back. I asked if she was going to work the register before she went home. He said yes. I walked away from him at the service counter and saw Paula. Paula used to own Sugar Creek Pantry. I used to deliver newspapers there every day. I asked her if she could give me a ride home. She said yes but she didn't get off until 11:00 p.m. It was now 9:10 p.m. I told her that I would look for another ride but if I was sitting at the bench at 11:00 p.m. I'd need a ride. She said that was a good plan. I went to the bench and sat down. I sat there for about an hour. Melody never came to a register. I was hoping she would. I didn't see anybody that could give me a ride.
I got a cart and started shopping. As I was shopping I saw Dawn. I didn't remember her name when I first saw her but she told me it. I knew Dawn about 20 yrs. ago. We used to hang out. We talked in the aisle for a few mins. Eventually I asked if she could give me a ride home. She said yes but she needed to finish shopping. I said that was fine because I had to too. When I checked out my check card wasn't approved. I used the remainder of my Quest card and tried running my check card again. Once again it was denied. I walked to the A.T.M. to check my balance. It said that my pending charges hadn't been cleared yet. It didn't say that but I figured ir out from my balance. I put a case of Coke, butter, and some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups back and then ran my check card. It was approved then. I bought crunchy peanut butter, a gallon of 2% milk, and a loaf of white bread. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and wait for Dawn. I decided I wanted the butter so I went back in and asked the woman if she returned it yet. She hadn't and I bought the butter. I went back outside and smoked a cigarette and waited for Dawn. Rob, a guy who applied at Radio Shack and was there earlier today, came out. He said he was going my way and asked if I needed a ride. I told him I already had one but I might need one on Fri. I asked if I could get his number from his application and he said yes. I told him I'd call him.
Dawn came by the Red Box DVD machine and I told her I was outside. She was going to get a movie but the machine was out of order. We left. I took her cart and mine to the cart corral after she finished loading her groceries. She drove me home. It was cool to see her. We talked about old times. She had to drive around the entire park because she missed the U-turn inside the park. It's her birthday in less than a week. She said she's going out. She said she has a boyfriend but they've only been together for a month. I gave her my number and she said she'll probably call. We'll see.
I went through all the episodes of "Soap" on Crackle tonight. Well not all the episodes in one night but I completed them tonight. I found a link where I can watch season 3. It's: http://tvshowsonline24.com/watch/Soap-season-3-episode-1 "Soap" is the funniest TV show ever, except maybe for "Police Squad". http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Police+Squad&aq=f
