He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen. I took it home, washed it off

Shawshank, February 5, 2025

Good morning my snowy friends. Yeppers, it’s snowing out there, just like they said it would be. It looks like we’re going to get a little less that forecasted, and shortly, it’ll stop for a few hours. Then it’ll start up again.

Last night shift was difficult. I spent a good 2.5 – 3 hours outside on a long rush of people. I was cold. But yes, I’m dressed correctly for being outside for 5-10 minutes at a time, not 3 hours. So it was a long cold evening. We were both very happy when it was time to finally close. The morning shift managed to handle 67 customers from 6-1:15. From 1:15 to 9pm we handled over 150 customers. There were two of us, and the morning shift had 3 people. So yeah, there’s a bit of a balance issue.

Meh.

But today I have a day off. That’s nice, because that’s to the snow and the expected winds tomorrow, I’m opening the store instead of being the mid shift guy. So I’ll be getting up sometime in the night to open the store. Woot woot.

Good times. In other news, it doesn’t look that bad out there so if my package comes in today, I may go and pick it up. We’ll see.
