The internet decided to not work last night, so I was unable to blog. Funnily enough, we didn't realize it until fairly late, since we spent the night watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on TV.
There's not a whole lot to talk about. It's been snowing quite a lot over the weekend, making the world white and pretty and not nearly as bad to navigate as one would think. Boy howdy, though, how it's slowed down business!
The weekend also saw us out of peppermint syrup...then out of caramel brulee...then out of white mocha. Peppermint is stupid because we have it all year 'round but are running out of it because peppermint mochas are a "holiday beverage;" caramel brulee is the next drink all the disappointed peppermint mochas get; but it's running out of white mocha that really scared me because, I swear, white mocha customers are the highest maintenance of all of them. Most white mocha customers are rich girls or women used to getting what they want, and at least 75% (but probably closer to 90%) of the white mochas are nonfat and no whip. The screaming customer from months ago? White mocha!
Fortunately, today's order delivery had six boxes of peppermint, three boxes of caramel brulee, and four boxes of white mocha. Also a huge box of stir sticks, which we've been out of for almost a month. Huzzah!
Tonight is the launch of Cataclysm, the next expansion for the game World of Warcraft. For those who don't know (somehow), the entire apartment plays WoW. Three of them obsessively. I'm...only a little obsessive, but I'm still excited. The new expansion changed the entire planet the game is based on, and made one of my favorite races playable as a class I've always been interested in!
...okay, so it's nerd talk, and I'll keep it to a minimum. But, as I said, all four of us are big fans of the game, and all four of us have tomorrow off, and we're all going on a large grocery run tonight for gaming fuel, and...well, it's all nerdy up in here, what can I say.
As I said, tomorrow is my day off, so I'll be sleeping and playing and doing lots of laundry (snow + long pants + not changing into snow boots before leaving work = holy crap cold wet pant hems). The rest of the week should be...interesting. I took a shift at another store to help out on my second day off, so I'm working straight from Wednesday to next Monday. However, they're all afternoon and evening shifts, which means they're with my favorite people at the slowest time. More work, but less stress. Hopefully a winning combination.

OMG, I HATE running out of things!!! It's one thing when it happens once in a while b/c of a particularly busy week that no one expects, but some managers just suck at inventory, and things run out ALL the time. One time @ Domino's, after the stupid DM took over and told me I should do scheduling instead of inventory, we almost ran out of PEPPERONI at DOMINO'S!! Like, that CAN'T happen, dude!! I think he was trying to get fired or something.
ReplyDeleteLol @ WOW....so THAT'S why my neighbor's surround sound was blasting at like 1 am last night...I should really keep track of when these expansions come out so I know when to expect him to be partying late!
