Random Facts

So I learned some disturbing information at work today from Megan, our local forensics major. And believe me, this was the highlight of the day, because there were like... no customers. >.o;;; As per the norm.

I learned that the most common substance found on a dollar bill is cocaine to start. And that when they did a random sampling, most cities tested and found 70%-90% of their bills had the residue. Denver, on the other hand, was 100%. Well Denver... is there something we should know? LOL

Lunch and deposit and stuff was right after that, so I learned the next bit later on.

Are you ready for this? Probably not but oh well.

I learned that the most common substance to find on doorknobs and gas pumps is semen. Men... you are gross. Wash your hands, kthnx! Doorknobs I can see... but gas pumps!? What in the hell!? Man... not cool. I am sooooo carrying hand sanitizer now. Gross.

Other than that, the day was pretty uneventful. Alix came and did the schedules and as you know, I'm on for Black Friday, and gave us the Packet o' Bullshit. It basically was trying to tell us things we couldn't do at this remote kiosk... like making frequent trips to the store room. Yeah... no. That's just not happening. Maybe once a week at most. MAYBE. Black Friday will be the big one next week... possibly. I'm not getting my hopes up. But yeah, the packet doesn't take into account that most times... the world isn't perfect. So screw it, I don't care. Told us we couldn't have book there either. Aha. ha. ha. FUCK THAT SHIT. I mean, damn, I was playing pyramid solitaire on the stool with a deck of cards today! BOREDOM IS KING AT THIS KIOSK.

We also have to try and push the bears. Ugh... stupid things. Though I do want one... they're really soft... >.> I might have to skin it and use the stuff to make a pillow... >w>;;;

We also got a shipment today. Only nine boxes, thank goodness. Two went to overstock, and Megan and I just carried them over. We also got another display for the gift cards we're supposed to sell... but are going to try very hard to get out of.

When I went to take out the trash, these two boys held the door for me. So I said thanks, because you know, that's polite. And I got a "You're VERY welcome." Greeeeaat... >.o So not interested. And I could feel them watching me as I walked away. Uuuugh. So I tossed the boxes in the compactor and started it up and came back. I went in the far door. And the one kid who held the door said to the other "Dammit man! You scared her!"

Um no. More like I didn't want to deal with you two idiots. Got a job to do, kthnxbai.

The two Middle Eastern men at the other kiosk also keep acting suspiciously when they get near our kiosk. Oi...

On the plus side, I made Alix laugh, and Megan and I had a very enjoyable conversation. She's a smart girl, and she's respectable. So we can just talk about anything and be honest and have some good laughs. I definitely feel a connection to her.

She also gave me a website that I can go to and possibly get an in for forensic photography. It'd pay well and (technically) be in my field. Win. :D

When the kiosk closes in January, I will miss her. I'll have to exchange emails or something so we can keep in touch, since she is moving out of state after all this.

Oh, and Mark (Alix's boss) is coming on Tuesday to assess just how bad the situation is. I'll finally get to meet the guy I've butted heads with on the phone in person. ...Joy. Man, just wait until he sees how dead it is. I'll just have to be certain not to be late though, in case he shows at 9:30am too. :x

God... Next week is going to be even more of HELL. >_<;;;

Oh, and James, who is a weekender, came in to see his hours for today so I finally met him. Briefly. He seemed like an older man. Probably in his 30s like Jason. Yikes.

I think that's it... Yeah, has to be. Unless I forgot to mention that we got George Carlin calendars in... >.> I will own one!

PAYDAY TOMORROW/FRIDAY! I pick the checks up tomorrow though so... >w>

Anyways, I'm off. Still sick so I'm done with this update. Good night, and happy travels. Don't forget the hand sanitizer! xD
