Exciting day

My poor coworker went home early today. She has a cold and sounded awful. Before losing her voice, we had a brief discussion on newspaper articles I read how people call Christmas trees, Holiday trees, when displayed in public. She said Walmart has now banned their employees from saying "Merry Christmas" to customers. How ridiculous we get over religious differences. I have being wishing customers for years (at my current job and others) Merry Christmas and Happy New year. I have yet to receive a complaint from a customer my kindness. The few that were obviously Muslim smile and say "Same to you" or "You have a Happy New Year too" in response. I also wish people Happy Valentine's Day, Happy St. Patrick's Day, Happy Easter, Happy 4th July, and Happy Halloween. Once I had to explain to a customer from Belguim (I think) that it was 4th of July was our Independence Day and suggested where to go for fireworks displays. After my coworker left, I sprayed her computer, phone, stapler, and counter space with disinfectant.

Then today there was confusion of where one of our cars were. A customer let their
son drive the rental car and he got pulled over by the cops who impounded the car. Well someone called saying the car had been released by the police, but my manager affirms that only a person carrying the car title in their hands and pays the fees can get the car released from the police. Odd.
Update: The car was not released and the owner went over to the police impound lot to retrieve the car. The renter has a large impounding bill tacked on their contract now.

My poor manager. She fell flat on her face, blood everywhere, causing her to almost break her nose and her teeth to go through her upper lip. She has a black eye and a fat lip. I am kinda glad I didn't see her today. She is feeling better.

Today I received a phone call from a coworker wishing me to come in early so she could leave. By the time I received the message on my machine and called back, she changed her mind. She was waiting for her ride when I showed up and asked a coworker to drive her home. I was not sure which loser was the s.o.b. who didn't come, but with her I learned not to ask questions.

Then the bossman's brother (vice president) returned from a trip with suitcase in hand. I didn't know he left. He was here last I worked.

Then I find out I'm #1 in the commission this month. I don't recall that happening before. I am having a good day. I almost feel guilty being so happy while other people are having a bad day, but I get over it real quick.

Next I find a copy of FamilyCircle with my name (real name) in the Letters to the Editor's page. That makes it time #2 to be in the Letters section. The other time was the Oprah Magazine last February. My boss was disappointed I didn't put that in my Christmas letter since that is important. I forgot about it.

Next flights are getting cancelled left and right so we are gaining reservations in the computer. And people wish to drive cars one way to someplace else. More business is welcome. Post later. Bye!
