yubsieSo, 3:45? SO not a good wakeup time. It's more like a go to sleep time. But that's when I had to get up today to make it to the 4:45 meet time to go count the Zellers in Saint John. Everyone was in agreement that it was an unholy hour. Tomorrow's meet time is 5:45, which is likewise unpleasant.
I was assigned a "buddy" today at work, a new guy who I was supposed to be helping out. It was kinda weird, since he was old enough to be my dad and I was teaching him. :p The store was about 70% hardline (things counted in multiples, considered harder to count even though I honestly prefer it), so I got pulled off softline to go do exciting things like groceries and cookware. I was doing a little "I get to do multies!" dance because I had been told that I was going to be on the one at a time stuff all day to keep me close to my buddy. :p
So yeah, short version, I HATE MORNINGS. :p
Oh, and a couple Zellers associates were having a loud conversation in which one of them was trying to explain the difference between manga and comics. It was all I could do to not yell out "You're doing it wrong!" when he explained it as "Comics don't have a story and suck. Manga has a story and doesn't suck."
CLEARLY he's been reading the wrong comics. I mean, the whole lack of story thing used to be my perception of comics. Then some evil person recommended Sandman, which had a story and was made of awesome. And then I started finding out about lots of comics that have stories. Of course, given the price, I'm not sure this was a good thing. D*MN YOU NEIL GAIMAN!
Aww, who am I kidding. I can't get mad at Neil Gaiman. :p
