Good morning Lounge
How are you today?

I is hump day :woohoo: My vacation is getting closer and closer :bounce:

Yesterday at the store I was ready to kill some customers ... right the first one gave me some shit :mad:

Today I have the evening off and will spend it quietly at home. Maybe I make it to bed early. Somehow I doubt it.

Picture of the Day

3. Good morning girlfriend
:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I was just wondering why you talk about "today". Then I remembered that it is still Tuesday for you. Darn time zones. :rofl:

My evening is still a whole day away but thank you :hug:

How are you doing? You know I haven't given up on coming to Seatlle one day :D

5. Good morning ID
:hi: :hug:

Those are the ferrys from Stockholm, Sweden going to Finland. My parents once traveled on one of those in 1988. Which was special since we lived in the GDR. My father had a Finnish colleague/friend and he invited my parents to Finland. It was amazing but my parents actually were allowed to travel. It was quite an experience for them. It is almost unbelievable now that we were not allowed to travel the world till 20 years ago.

8. Good morning Allen
:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Thank you for the compliment on the picture.

I am glad also I didn't kill anyone but I really had to bite my tongue a couple of times last night. One guy complained he gave me 2 Euro, I said, "no, you gave me 1 Euro". In the end, I was right. But his attitude ... :mad:

9. Good morning MissH!
Sorry to hear that you had to deal with a rude customer, but I guess that's part of working with the public. Guess you just have to check them out (figuratively speaking :evilgrin: ) as fast as you can and get them out the door.

I hear snow plows outside, so we must have gotten some more snow last night. It was such a beautiful walk to work yesterday morning, and today will be more of the same.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

10. Good morning Callalily
:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Later on there were some customers who made up for the rudeness of those two b*tches (sorry but they were).

We had some snow yesterday too and when I went home it looked like powder on the streets. Lovely. :D

11. Good Morning Miss Honeychurch :)
Edited on Wed Feb-10-10 07:09 AM by SalmonChantedEvening
:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Bad customers! *swat* No Coupons for you! ;)

I vote for sleep*. But the couch and a book is my suggestion as a backup plan.

It's already a mess here and we're in between stoms. I'm waiting until the shop opens before calling to see if anyone made it in. Then I'll decide how to tell them I'm staying home. :rofl:

However you choose to, make tonight a restfull one.

*Not a real shocker eh. :D

12. Good morning SCE
:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I can tell you one thing ... I am pretty sure that I will fall asleep ON the couch :rofl:

So what will be your excuse for staying home? Tailbone? Weather? Cold? Stomach? :)

13. Decisions, decisions...
Lack of interest in being hit by drivers who Should Have Stayed Home.

It's only a mile, but until I know my boss is making the trip, I won't even get outta my PJs. He lives in the city, and it's a 30 minute drive.

It's almost the weekend and vacation time is near! :woohoo:

That's mean of those customers to make your life more difficult. Bad customers! :spank:

Winter has stopped in to visit--again. At least we don't have snow.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Winter came back here too. We had some snow yesterday and there was a layer of snow on the ground when I went home. It looked nice. And it is damn cold ...

Believe me, I am counting the days .... I am so ready for my vacation :crazy:

20. How long?
is your vacation, and are you going anywhere?

RenFest is getting close, and rehearsals are getting closer. :scared: I got my renfest pants fixed, the waistband had to be replaced; one less thing to worry about.

26. Sounds good
a nice staycation, that's not very costly. The Olympics begin on Friday, so you'll be well entertained.

I do need to work on posting the last renfest photos. :silly:

21. OK
just wanted to make sure :)

The strike Friday was "only" a warning strike. The employers and the union are talking today. If that doesn't bring a result next week we can expect a full strike ... hopefully not at the public transportation. At least not Tuesday. The other days I don't care as much :)

23. Hi MissHoneychurch
Today I started physiotherapy which was a massage and heat treatment. Next time I get to have my lymph nodes in my injured arm drained...whatever that entails :scared:

It is snowing again and Jill is finally tired of it.

I'm sorry your customers are giving you guff. Just relax and smile at them and take the wind out of their sales. I used to be a checker. I loved the job except for the customers :)

Have a wonderful time in balconia for your holiday.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

32. He is a nice man
very shy, he can't speak English very well so I think that is why he is so shy. His name is Markus! That made me sad.

I hope your Saturday shift goes by with no problems with grouchy customers.

But I am glad he is nice. Take it as a chance to learn German. Or just let him work his magic on you regarding your bones :hug:

I hope so too. I wouldn't mind some eye candy :D
