Who Rocks The OB? I Rock The OB.

​The largest ever single person sales record was set today. I ended up doing a solo togo shift and rang up over $3000 in sales. $3000 in seven hours. $3000 where I was on the phone, running to the kitchen, running back from the kitchen to the take-away room, running outside to give people their food, all without wearing a jacket in the 10 degree weather. Did I make some serious cash???

I have no idea. I had to catch a train home, so I left all the paperwork for my boss. I think I did pretty kick-ass. Everybody feel sorry for the shivering boy running around the building like a madman.

I only made one fuck-up, and it wasn'te entirely mine. I had two orders for The Colemans. One Coleman picked up the other Coleman's order. This was right in the middle of my $1500 hour. $1500 being about seven hundred more than the next most profitable employee's sales for the whole night. $3000 in sales and I only screwed up $19.94 of it.

Hells yeah. Tomorrow I can FINALLY get my shit done. No work. No family. Just me, my e-mail, and my phone. & the first person I'm calling (sorry grammarsquirrel & foxthepoet: Corporate OB. It's about time those fuckers sent me my bonus check. After tonight, they should send me some sort of uber bonus check. For the first time ona non-holiday our store sold over $20,000 worth of product. There were 21 servers on & I had over 1/7th of the sales in the whole restaurant.

Oddlight of the night: At the very beginning of the night, one of my really good friends at the OB, Christian, was talking with me about now touchy feely this huge gay guy named Rich is. I agreed he is entirely too touchy. Christian then says, "You know last night Rich asked me if you were gay. Isn't that funny? Rich thinks you are gay. I laughed for like ten minutes. How could anyone think you're gay?"

*blink* *blink*

Christian has been to about a half dozen slams. He's seen "Communicative Properties," "an unfortunate, isolated incident," "When Bad Sodomy Happens to Good People," and "Dysphemisms." I had thought that he was both observant and intelligent.

So did I correct him? No. I just gave him a curious look and walked away.

People baffle me.
Current Mood:  The OB needs a Togo Heater

akamuuAside from their stoves, what have The Colemans of the world ever done for us?

Wait-- I almost forgot about Gary. I bet that little gubernatorial wannabe was behind this.

Down with Colemans (especially that annoying Wanda)!

tabor36: Colemans"Fuck the Colemans." is an inside joke with me and the wife. My brother-in-law's last name is Coleman. We went to dinner with some of "the Colemans" once, and it did not go too well. Sue and I wanted to take him to that sports bar with 150 different beers, and at the request of his family we ended up eating with them instead... at Island's burger joint. On the way home I could hear my brother-in-law mumbling to himself "fuck the Colemans." Now when anything goes wrong, Sue and I blame "the Colemans".

akamuu: Re: Yes, but...Dysphemisms explains why I won't kiss Wyatt Maguire, who is pretty obviously gay and male. 

I guess the other two could be seen as just activist poems, but when you add them all together, and factor in the fact that I fuck guys...

foxthepoetYou should have leaned forward, kissed Christian full on the mouth, and said, "yeah. that is kind of funny." then walked away.

oh, that would have rocked.





michele branch thinks it would have rocked too
