I had to talk Rob into my trailer park. I was on his cell phone with him until he turned in. He gave me a ride to Wal-Mart. I cashed my Delmart check there and withdrew more money to suppliment my rent payment. I went to the service desk and got a money order for my rent. I filled out the money order and enveloped it at the counter. I brought an envelope from home. After I left I was going to walk to Panera to get a cup of hazelnut coffe but my Zippo wouldn't light my cigarette. I thought it was out of fluid because Zippos will light in in the wind. I know. I've done it. I walked back into Wal-Mart and bought a 2 pack of Bic lighters. There wasn't enough time to go to Panera so I just walked to Radio Shack. It was a beautiful day out today, sunny and 65 degrees F.

Heather had just gotten to Radio Shack when I did. We walked in together. It would have seemed like she had given me a ride. Our arrival was that coincidental. Richard was there. Tony was there. I punched in and worked the sales floor while Tony prepared for the interview with Heather. Richard was in the back room writing Tony's evaluation so Heather's interview started later than scheduled, about 20 mins. later. Just before Heather went in the back room for her interview, some guy named Ryan came in. He was interested in a cell phone. He had applied to Sprint about 2 years ago but his account hadn't been cleared yet. I called Sprint to clear it. Tony called too after I got no result. I called Sprint again after Tony got no result. This time Ryan's account was cleared and he was approved for 3 lines. He wanted to get 2 cell phones, one for him and one for his girlfriend. I set those up. Ryan had to leave to get his state ID but he returned in about 20 mins. Richard came out and convinced Ryan to get a 3rd cell phone for his mother. I set that one up too. Ryan chose a grey Optimus and two purple Optimi were chosen for the women. http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/phone_details.jsp?prodId=dvc2260014prd&deviceSKUId=22400107&flow=AAL&planSKUId=null&tabId=dt_phones&ptn=
I had a triple new account cell phone sale on one ticket. That's like hitting a trifecta on a $100.00 bet at Radio Shack. They didn't have much money with them so the only accessory they got was screen protectors. I ran Ryan and his girlfriend for a Radio Shack credit card but neither were approved. Richard bitched to Tony about the lack of accessories on the sale but there's really nothing I could do. The shit ran downstream and Tony talked to me about it but he was just relaying Richard's messege. Richard didn't stick around long enough to talk to me. He went to the Lake Geneva store as soon as Heather's and Rob's interview was over. Nathan called me from there to get numbers and he said that Richard was giving me accolades there. He was bitching to Tony and then exalting me at another store, WTF??
After Heather's interview Rob came in for his interview. That didn't take too long. Heather was in like Flynn from the day she filled out her application. We went through the motions with Rob because he gave me a ride today. Rob had been walking around the strip mall and he said he was playing games at Game Stop from the time he dropped me off until the time he came in for his interview. Richard left after the interviews were over. I was still setting up the 3 cell phones for Ryan.
The rest of the day was steady. Jose showed up. Tony went to lunch. Tony returned from lunch. I sold a Blackberry for Boost but there was an E.S.N. swap on it so I didn't get any SPIFF. I shot up in the back room. I punched out for lunch and walked to Subway. On my walk to Subway I have to cross an exit road from Wal-Mart. It's a one way road. A police car with its lights on drove over the median on Hwy. 50 and came in the wrong way on the exit road. He was doing about 35 m.p.h. and the speed limit there is 10 m.p.h. This happened right in front of me. Had I walked into the road when I had planned to and not seen or heard the cop car, I would have been killed. The cop has the sirens on so I had to deal with the loud noise 5 ft. away from. I hate that.
I ordered the same sandwich today that I ordered yesterday. It was that good. I got the meal. Stream wasn't working. She had already left. The woman who was working likes me, a lot, too much. She always smiles when she sees me, always says hi, and always makes conversation with me. I just ordered my sandwich and ate the meal there.
I walked back to Radio Shack and punched in from lunch. Tony left. The rest of the night was slow except for Jose selling two new lines to one customer. The guy got two Rumor Touches, one for him and one for his girlfriend. They're both purple. He wanted a blue one but we didn't have any. His girlfriend kept giving him shit about the color, essentially saying it was feminine. She was a piece of work. She was lous, pushy, and obnoxious. I don't know what this guy sees in her. She's no beaty queen either. Her daughter came in and she was far more classy than her mother. Everytime her mother said something crass, the daughter would look at me as if to apolgize for her behavior. This happened frequently. The guy did this a few times too. The woman was oblivious to this.

The rest of the night was slow. I sat in the back room for a while. I closed the store and walked to Wal-Mart. I forgot to give Jose my keys but he has a key now so I think it'll be ok. At Wal-Mart I talked to Melody at her register. I asked her for a ride and she agreed. Heather came by me. She asked if Tony and Richard said anything. I told her she was in. I also advised her to get black shoes and a grey polo. She said she'll try to scrounge up the money for that.
I shopped. I bought all sorts of shit. I can't list everything I bought. The list is too long. I bought food and toiletries mostly. I couldn't check out at Melody's register because she was in a 20 items or less lane. After I checked out I waited by the bench for her. Some woman was already sitting on the bench and she was fat so I didn't bother to share it with her. I talked to the door greeter, Dawn. I went outside to smoke a cigarette. I went back in and waited for Melody. She got off work and I loaded my stuff into her car. Her caf is full of shit. I could barely get all my shit in her car. It's like she lives in there. I'm lucky I didn't have my water bottles with me. She had to pull her car out of its stall because she was parked right next to a crub and there wasn't room for me to accomodate the cart. She drove me home. She helped unload my stuff. I went inside and came back out with a flashlight. I wanted to make sure I didn't leave any bags and that nothing fell out. Her interior light doesn't work.
