Weekend report

The other day, Precious was naughty. Again he has to sneak over to the dog porch and meowed to rile up the dog there. The dog wasn't even at the glass door until that little bugger meowed.

Last night at work, we were all whispering to glance at the guy with a 2 feet tall mohawk walking by. The guy who returned the car said it wasn't a guy, it was a girl, a 20-year-old. Oops, we only caught the back view.

This week the bossman is offering free hockey and basketball tickets. He's buddies with the coach of the local basketball team and my coworkers get excited when they drop off their personal cars when the fly out to other cities. How many times do you get the chance to drive a professional player's car to make room for other cars? Needless to say, I didn't sign up for free tickets. Even if I cared they always play on nights I work. Though I am unsure about the where the free hockey tickets came from.

We got a new phone cord that is so short it pops out of the receiver every time you pick up the phone.

Guy remarked yesterday to turn my head when he walked by so today when he passed by I gave him a fast forward sunflower imitation moving my head, body, and chair left to right. He laughed.

Last night, Precious and Frodo were cuddled in bed with their paws around each other and it looked so cute I wished I had my camera. But if I did they would get out of it and sniff the camera, or worse, the batteries would be dead.

I heard that the car rental company next door is going to hire a new person. I gave the informer a hard time about the firing a person cause business was slowing down last month, and now going they are looking to hire a new person cause business is picking back up. Those assholes. Why don't they hire back the person they laid off? She is making more money someplace else and would not come back. But alas, the real reason is that a second person screwed up her back lifting the velvet rope stands (we offer to help them since they weigh a ton) and she will be out for six months. Though the informer believed she had other health problems to cause this absence, like possibly cancer. I said I wouldn't tell anybody in the strictest of confidence, but you don't count cause you will never speak to my people to ask who it is.

And finally, had the strangest customer question. I was giving her my usual jokes (Yes I live here, there's a cot in the back for me to sleep, as if you don't show your license enough to get on the plane, they just put sign there to confuse people and most say it works, and if you hit a wall you went too far). She asked if I did theater in high school. No. (Mom would not allow it) She was surprised I said no. Never been asked that before just for cracking jokes. I use jokes to alleviate customer's anger over lost luggage, delayed flights, etc so they are not yelling in my face over the prices, only having boring cars, won't take their prepaid credit card, etc. If I can get someone to smile, they calm down a bit. Well, that is the end of my weekend report. Post later.
