Tomorrow Will and I are going to a diner and eating their turkey dinner for lunch and that will be Thanksgiving. I'll probably see him on Thanksgiving but since Best Buy is open at 6 pm and I have to be there at 5 and was told to allow for plenty of time to find parking, there's not going to be much time in the day.

I may splurge and go back to the grocery and get a Vermont Smoke and Cure ham slice and have that with sweet potatoes.

I'm kind of frustrated with this week. There's barely enough coverage and there were 2 shifts they forgot to schedule for. And last Friday the Xbox One was released and I'm the person who handles the phones and in store pick ups. So on Friday this is what I had to do:

Check receipts and hand over Day One Edition Xboxs in store pre orders, process pick ups of Day One online pre orders, take tickets and hand over the regular Xbox editions. Explain about (and try to sell) the Epic Bundle to the online pre orders and also explain it to as many people as we could. Or at the very least get the protection plan on the console.

Handle the regular pick ups, answer the phones and deal with the calls preferably in 3 minutes or less. And make the sales goal for the day through over the phone sales calls (which take longer than 3 minutes and that's allowed, but all the other calls should be kept to a minimum).

And we were flooded with calls which had a common theme of: do we have Xbox One (yes, it's first come first serve, blah blah), do we have PS4 (actually we might have a limited number because people didn't pick up the pre orders, it will be ticketed on Sunday on a first come, first serve basis, we open at 8 am), do we have the ipad Air/mini with retina/iphone 5s. Can you tell me if this item is going to be on sale on Black Friday/what are your Black Friday hours/can I buy the item now at the Black Friday price.

Then there were all the other regular pick up stuff and the other phone calls we get.

And two people called out sick so the person woh was supposed to close couldn't and they couldn't get a hold of the other person that can work the position and they knew was available so I worked a double.

Then Saturday we had a store meeting at 7:30 and I started work at 9:30. Then we had some PS4s and whoever scheduled for my dept didn't KNOW we were opening at 8 am so I was volunteered to come in and work on Sunday.

Then Sunday I discovered that no one was scheduled for Wed. So I'm working everyday this week.

Next week - I work open to 5, M-F and have coverage every single day. In fact there's double coverage for part of the closing shifts. Which is the kind of scheduling we needed this week.

Plus I had a really shitty experience at Lane Bryant Saturday after work when I was treated badly. I thought it was a salesperson but it turns out it was a MANAGER. So now I have on my list of things to do: complain to the district manager. I actually went back and talked to another sales person who was really nice and encouraged me to call their district manager.

Since I was so long winded with the other stuff the Lane Bryant issue boiled down to: the manager didn't pay attention to what I said was my style, argued with me when I said I was phsyscially uncomfortable wearing clothes, and actually said "So What do you Hate about this?" When I came out of the dressing room one time. With something I picked out and was my style.

It's like she was trying to dress me in her style and was pissed or offended when I didn't like what she liked. Instead of paying attention to my style.

So now I have on my list of things to do: complain to the district manager.

Hell to the fucking yes.

Sorry, that might have been rude.

I got the feeling from the way the salesperson was so quick with the business card and the careful way she worded a few things that I am not the first person who this manager has offended.

Oooh, I have one of those at work.

It sucks.

Cass, if you can get to a TJs yourself, they have a stuffing starter pack in the refrigerated veggies that consists of chopped onions and celery plus yummy seasonings. I recommend it highly for the lazy gal's T-Day.

Got a note from Saturday date... Kinda confirms what I didn't say, but thought.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thanks for a fun time on Saturday night. It's a bummer that we weren't a "love connection" (can't resist an 80s pop culture reference), but I believe there is someone great out there for you. You have a lot to offer - keep your chin up and try to enjoy the hunt! :)

(sorry for the emoticon)

Lots of spark, no sizzle. Le sigh.

Wow, someone who's upfront and honest! Maybe not a love, but a friend?

Sorry to hear she wasn't your frog princess, but it sounds like she was one toad who wasn't too bad.

What should I do about my bitey kitty? I keep thinking he's over it, and we do reduce the incidents with all the play-time(to activate his prey-drive safely, and maybe wear him out) and I tried pheromones, before I read that's not really what they're for and got worried about it) but still he sinks his teeth into my mother's leg a few times a year, and not nips, either, when it's on, it's on. But he's not always like that, but he can turn on a dime. We've thought about giving him away, but are pretty convinced that would be the end of him, even if my mom thinks that he hates her and stuff she doesn't want to do that, probably because he is my biggest fan.

Spray bottle of Water nearby, with a quick srpitz at his head when he gets bitey looking. Plus, if he does bite, a LOUD high-pitched "OOOOOOOOOWWW!" right in his face every single time often does the trick.
