Okay, so something you must understand is that me and my coworkers are extremely, and I mean extremely close. After all, we all work 40+ hours a week, sometimes more, so we do see a lot of each other. Maybe one-thirds of us are college students too, so therefore we ramble to each other nonstop about school/classes and so on. We just all have this little bond with each other since everything we do really is a team effort and we know a lot about each others' personal lives.
Anyway, we recently started something called a "code 69." If we see one of our pal's ex boyfriend/girlfriend, we say it over the loud speaker for so-and-so, so this person can either hide or move to another aisle, etc. and therefore avoid the person. Believe me...if you're working in the photo lab with 185 rolls of film that must be due at a set time, the last thing you want is someone you dislike blabbling your ear off while you pretend to look interested (Because, after all, they are technically a customer, right?) when you're about to shoot your head off from all the work you must have done. The code 69 also applies to family members or siblings or annoying friends...basically anyone who you want to avoid. Whoever is at the front counter usually makes the announcement and the employee's name called needs to basically hide until they hear a "code 70," or "coast clear, you can come out." It's actually kind of fun, and it's saved a lot of time so we're not held up and we've gotten done quite a few more projects and can go home early. The store manager thinks we should change it from "69" to something else, but eh...we'll stick with it for now.
So friggin tired with so many things to do. I wish I could make more time for the gym. I come home and feel like I want to pass out and sleep for a few days. I just need to study my tail off and stay organized. Better said than done.
