Men’s shirts, short skirts – oh oh oh really go wild

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning my friends. It’s almost the end of the week. Today will be a long day. We’re open until 8. It’s a community “shop til you drop til 8”. Which I probably would have worked, if my tapped in the head coworker didn’t quit via text message yesterday 10 minutes before her shift started.

Yes. She quit via text message. Then sent every call from my boss to voicemail. The funny thing sooner or later she has to come in. She has a dresser she’s already bought. It’s sitting in the back. And then there’s about $120 worth of product sitting in the office that she still has to pay for.

And she still has to return her keys.

I don’t think she thought this through. It’s simple I’m half asleep and I got it figured out. Stay pay for and pick up all your purchases. On the day you want quit, leave your keys on the desk, and then quit via text message.

Personally, I’d put back all the stuff she hasn’t paid for yet. Why should we do you any favours?

Anyways, it’s a good day to have a good day.

So let’s all have a good day today. Yes you, even if you’re at the corner of happy and healthy! I love ya!

3 what’s on a Wednesday

Just a quick fun thing to do. 3 what’s on a Wednesday! I know I’m a wild and crazy guy! Strap in buckaroo!

What are you currently reading?

Believe it or not, I’m actually reading 2 books! I started Brave New World. I’m almost half way through it. It’s got that weird retro-futuristic vibe happening. I’m digging that. I put that down, because I didn’t want to finish, or almost finish it before the first book club about it.

The second, I just started is The Girl on the Train. I’m only like 4 pages in so far, so I haven’t made the discussion of liking it or not yet. So far, so good though!

What did you recently finish?

Last night, I finished Full Dark, No Stars. I really liked it. Like Crystal says, Kings short stories are sometimes way better than his full length novels.

What do you think you’ll read next?

That’s a hard question. I’ll probably do what I did last time, and crowd source it, and ask you guys.

Happy reading everyone!

What are your quirky reading habits?

Can you only read whilst death metal plays softly in the background? Or does Mars have to be in retrograde?

What are your quirky reading habits? I want to know. I don’t think any of my book habits are quirky.

When I read, it has to be quiet. Quiet. If the TV is on, I can’t read. I’ll sit and watch TV. I’m very easily distracted. So I usually read at night. Shady Acres goes to bed pretty early, so that’s always a bonus.

I rarely use a book mark. I’ll just fold over a page, yet I won’t crack the spine. Some of you are probably fanning yourselves right now at the mention of folding over a page. The next point will give you the vapours!

If the book is begging for it, I’ll write/highlight, whatever. You should see my copy of House of Leaves. It’s been well loved! I also randomly added stickers too.

We made it to Wednesday! It’s all downhill from here. Except for me. I work till 8 tomorrow and I work Saturday. But then I’ll have a couple days off, and start a new week sooner than I think. Haha

So like I said a couple of days ago, I went to SlightlyBiggerTown’s dispensary, to do a deal. A deal of drugs. It so bright, clean and cheery. I told the kid behind the counter, this is not what I’m used to. He laughed and said he never thought he’d have a job like this.

I told him what I was looking for – something to help me sleep, and he presented me with 3 options, and three different prices. I chose the “value pack” of 10 pre-rolled joints. I also picked up some gummies.

I feel like a teenager sneaking out of the house after everyone has gone to sleep. And yeah, I have to go outside, my dad is very sensitive to smells. Everything is I scented in the house and there’s no decorative candles either. But I sneak out and smoke half a preroll, sneak back in and climb into bed and fall as sleep.

I can’t wait until Crystal gets here so I can take her in to check it out. I miss her a lot. I love you so much. Happy Wednesday!

Lay your head upon my pillow – hold your warm and tender body close to mine

What a long day. Tuesday’s, we’re not open. It’s a catch up from the weekend. I caught up on 90% of the stuff I needed too, did a couple extra things, and cleaned for most of the day. It was a nice quiet day, because my co-worked called out and the boss was gone. It was just me and the accountant in today.

When it’s quiet, it makes for a long day. Aside from helping to unload our shipment truck, which was the high light of the day, I also learned not to open the fridge. There’s something that smells terrible in there. The accountant was spraying a whole buncha crap to get rid of the smell, and even opened a door.

None of it helped. But it did give me a headache that’s lasted all day.

The boss will be back tomorrow, so I’m sure it’ll be a flurry of activity first thing. Anything is better than a slow day.

I’m gonna go and take some Advil now. Have a great Tuesday evening 🙂
