OMG:
Got to experience new and wonderful smells during a part time run with a tow company yesterday. A mobile home had caught on fire, how you ask? Well something in the engine apparently decided to not function properly and caught aflame (is it a flame, or would ablaze/ a blaze work??? who cares its the internet) which then caused the whole rear of the vehicle to go up. The omg moment for us was the driver had said if he didn't notice the smoke in his rear view mirror he would have kept driving. So by my estimations if there was no smoke in the rear view, but flames biting as his backside, it would have been okay to keep driving. Aaannyyways, what ever makes up a mobile home does not need to catch fire because damn it smelled worse than driving by rotting dumpster bin behind a fast food joint, combined with burning diesel, and what ever the hell type of chemical they used to douse out the flames with...........ugh. I fear my work gloves and pants will forever have these combined smells soaked into them.
Fun:
Working in retail has very little in reward, and a lot in grief. But every once in awhile there are moments that are just memorable. For instance my store has restocking issues for Ps3 and Wii consoles. On a regular basis we get people who call in asking if we have them instock yet and the usual reply is "No, do you want us to check the rest of the valley to see if anyone else does?" We know the other stores are more than likely are sold out as well but sometimes a random system will make its way in by way of FedEx or UPS. So today it was another call for Ps3, we sell both types, 120 and 250 gig, the lady on the phone had asked if we have Ps3 instock, my reply is the 120 or the 250. First she asks for the 120, "we are sold out valley wide (i had check earlier from another call)", "okay what about the 250", "we are sold valley wide." "Why did you ask which system I wanted if you knew you were sold out on both." "Kinda makes my day less repetitive?" "Well it doesn't help me any, and its very rude." "Is there anything else I can help y.............hello?"
Yes it was kinda rude but its a valid question on my part to ask which system a guest would want, but hey I wouldn't have anything to write about now would I?
Nerding:
Working on heroics instances like a cat on crack. Its great that blizzard made Tier gear abit more attainable for the casual player. I think its a god send because I'm tired of having to work around a time table for raids and other crap just to have a random chance at getting high end gear. All I have to do is just run my dailies with the dungeon finder on and collect Triumph emblems til my head explodes. Now if only I could run across the Time-Lost Proto-drake. That would make my day.
Good:
Room mate made dinner ^_^
Bad:
I have to clean dishes <_>
