Re: Random randomness
Unfortunately I had to cancel some appointments and reschedule a few people for another day. I call up one of the students and I had to practically listen to a whole song before I can leave a message... Seriously? I have to sit through 3 minutes of crap before I can do anything. I must be in a bad mood today, but man.. thats just really annoying. I wonder when she's applying for jobs what the prospective employer will think about that.

I've got a great idea for the next big thing. The next stick note. The next fannypack. I bandoleer that was fitted with beer coozies that have room for frozen inserts instead of bullet pockets.

Re: Random randomness
I cannot get over how utterly disgusted I am by this terminology, yet it has become pervasive. Can cozy was fine. It got the point across without the overtone of misogynist sexual slang. Did it metamorphosize because people somehow thought a can cozy was something to keep their beverage warm? FFSLordMortis wrote:beer coozies

Listen to Quentin Terantino in any of his movies. Cooz/cooze is definitely part of his vernacular. Whether he got it from us or not I have no idea.

Re: Random randomness
Sometimes I get annoyed that not everybody works seven days a week, because it keeps me from getting certain things done on weekends and tasks pile up for Monday mornings. Other times I'm glad they get weekends off because it gives me a couple of slow days for catch-up and planning. I often put in more hours on Sundays than on any other day.

Why do certain cashiers try and make you feel guilty for paying with a a yuppie food coupon? If I had something smaller, I would have used it. But don't get all huffy because you have to make change. It's your job.

Re: Random randomness
Sometimes, retail panic sets in because you're alone and can't get to the bank and because everyone has paid with twenties or larger, you're running out of change. It happens. I'd usually tell the customer exactly why I was asking if they had a smaller bill though.
wot?

Re: Random randomness
I've never had a problem with cashiers getting annoyed at making change. I have had problems with getting people to accept $50 or $100 bills, like gas stations, sometimes where you are spending right about $50 any way. In virtue of this I don't take or carry $50 or $100 bills. If no one else will take them then they are no good to me.
