Retail and Running.

I’m thinking of writing down some of my crazy retail stories because generally they’re amusing and perhaps other people would find humor in them as well.

- The other day I helped a guy in the drive thru and when I was finished with his transaction he slid a business card in the drawer and told me that it was his card. When I picked it up, it was business card that literally said “My Card.” Silly old men.

- Yesterday we had a guy who had money wired into his account the previous day wanting to make a very large cash withdrawal, which is an ordeal and a half. So the person who was helping him, when through all the steps and cashed his withdrawal out to him and off he went. Or so we thought, 10 minutes later my manager brings almost all of the cash back to be deposited into the SAME account that he had withdrawn from minutes before. He apparently wanted to KNOW that the cash was in there for him.

- We also had a little old lady break one of the drive thru lanes this afternoon. She sent $10 worth of dimes and $4 worth of nickles and when they slammed down, quite literally into the bank side of the tube, it screwed up the sensors. Now the lane makes this horrible sound that won’t stop until you turn the lane off whenever a tube comes in or goes out. Ugh.

Running relate – I’m convinced I need new shoes. My knees have been just slightly bothering me and I’m sure it’s because of running with old shoes. I skipped the jingle bell run because by the time it was about to be race time I had already been downtown for 3 hours and just wanted to go home.

I’m really planning on doing the Tallahassee Half Marathon, which is in a little over a month and a half. I HAVE to do a longish run this weekend. I have a hair cut Saturday morning, so I’m thinking that if I get up early, run, shower, get my hair cut and then I can go study somewhere on 4th street, then that would make me super productive. I told M that I have a date with grad school this weekend. I need to write my statement of purpose, revise my writing samples AND study for the GRE which I’m taking NEXT weekend. I’m not quite sure that dating grad school can be filed under my bad date/story worthy date category. Blah.

I need a laptop case so that I can take my sexy new computer with me to study and whatnot. I also want some new AE PJ bottoms for Christmas. And new rainbows. Anyone want to make that happen for me? If you’re feeling generous, you should buy me an iphone and pay for the service as well. Yep.
