You know work is bad when you go to the bathroom and sit on the toilet for a half an hour and you don't even need to shit.
Instead you play time wasting games, browse the web for photo-blogs, check your email 40 times without anything new coming in. Some will even go so far as to pick up smoking just to get a feeling of accomplishment.
We all have our poisons, vices, and guilty pleasures. Thankfully I haven't plummeted tot the point of masturbation in the restroom. But the progression of the day almost begs for a David Carradine.
That's how daddy likes to get down..(Not Really.)
The faces become blurred, I don't even ask for names anymore.
It slows down to a point where I'm just excited to speak to another human, regardless of the buying condition.
Everyone seems to work in the computer field yet have no fucking clue how the hell to program a contact in their flip phones. Old folks come in looking for smartphones that their grand-kids have and act like you just handed them the Holy Grail when you put some touch screen doohickey or Blueberry in their palm to "give them ownership" of their new product.
At least that's what they teach us in training when in reality we are just owning the customer with their painful hours of questions while everyone else in the place is making money.
So much for the up-sell.
Then you have the asshole that walks in at the most dead point in the day who laughs and exclaims
"Oh man I got the whole store to answer my questions!!!"
That's enough asshole don't waste my time with your idiocy just buy your son who acts like your daughter an expensive phone that wont see life past three months.
The monotony takes its toll but it also finds a way to pay the bills..
Till I find something better everything is just Hunky-dory.
its very interesting to me to hear what a day in your work life is like!
