Last Weekend

Well, I guess I better update you on the BUSY weekend we just had. Sorry it has been a few days, my computer eats paint chips.

On Friday, I went in at 5am to get cards. No one is standing in line at 5. Then, Christine and I went out there to stand, and I let her ask the first few people just because I was kinda invading her job. But, around 5:05am or so, a small group started to line up and other people walked up and saw that we didn't open until 6am and so they left. Well, I got the first 2 cards, and then Christine got one, and I went back outside and I got FOUR in a row! It was awesome! While one person was filling one out, I moved down the line until I ran out of clipboards. That was fun typing them in though, I recruited other people to help me. Then it was about 5:50, and I went back outside to tell them if they were approved or not. Well, in the group of 4, I could only find 2 because they must have went to the other door or something. So then I just started walking around asking more people. At about 5 minutes to 6, there was a BIG group of people that budged in front of everyone else, so everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) behind them started booing and yelling, and then they all bum rushed the doors. At that point I was thinking, "I'm getting the fuck back inside before I get trampled." Thank GOD we have our own TM door or else I would have been killed. But, I got a total of 9 cards that day which is an all time high for me. If was funny because I got 6 from outside and Christine only got 2 outside. She ended up with 20 cards, but then again she was asking all day on the floor. I'm more than satisfied with my 9.

Guests weren't that big of a deal, but the whole weekend we spent most of our time doing adjustments, credit card payments, and paging people. Our forecast for Friday was $525,000 and we got $623,000. Almost $100K over goal, so that just shows how busy we were.

But what would a weekend be without a dumbass Canadian? So one comes up to GS, and asks for a comment card. So I give her one, and she asks me, "What's your policy about taking Canadian coins?" I tell her that our banks don't take them, so we can't. Guess what she says...? "Well they take them in Canada." NO FUCKING SHIT! It's Canadian currency, they better fucking take it in Canada! I swear, they are put on this Earth to test me, and make me laugh most of the time.

Thank god I didn't have to close this weekend either. I fucking hate closing with a passion. But, I got severely sleep deprived because I got up at 4am Friday, 7:30am Saturday and 11am Sunday. That may not sound bad but total for those 3 days I got about 15 hours of sleep.

Well, lucky me I get to work tonight! 3:30-close! Oh I fucking hate it.
