Who else would I be?

So I took Adam's test and here are the results, can I get a drum Roll Please?


"You are Johnny Cash. You are a true immortal, fit to wrestle with the devil himself in the afterlife, but alas, you are more suited to life on the stage than life in the shadows. Rock on, Man in Black"

So it's official, I am Johnny Cash! :) Never doubted it for a second! Now all I need to do is find Marshal (My bass player) and Luther Perkins (My Lead guitarists) and I'll be set!

Look out Folsom Prison 'cause Johnny Cash is back!!!!

Awesome quiz Adam :)

Cheers

Papers, Essays, Exams Oh My!

Hey Folks,

Just a quick question for you... I know I know, this really isn't a work related rant and rave, but I still feel it's worthy of your attention.

What do you prefer, Essays/Term Papers, or Exams and Exam Essays?

I do truly believe, that although Term papers do test your ability to argue a point using proper grammar and English, they don't test your knowledge. All a term paper really does is test your ability to say what other people have already said! They are the most worthless things I have ever seen! People have told me that they prefer Essays over Exams, but at least on an exam, you are being tested for what you know, and not your ability to pull up things that other people know! I would much rather write an Exam essay over a Term Paper any day (I do much better on exams also)! But this is my opinion, what do you think?

Cheers

Packer Lady Returns!

Hey Folks,

So! Do you remember in my first post I mention the lady that said "Why the hell am I packing my own groceries?" Well this Sunday she returned! That's right folk, the stupid lady came back, and this time with more attitude. On Grey Cup Sunday it took both Calvin (one of my co-workers) and myself to do buggies because it was so busy in the store and these buggies were shooting out into the parking lot blocking the road. So Calvin and I go to do buggies, and when I come back in, this lady grabs one of the cashier's arms and says "Where are all the packers?" and The Cashier says "Well, They are here, and on till 6", and the lady says "Why aren't they packing my groceries"... I got very chapped at this comment so I said to the lady "Well you see, it's very busy in here today, and the buggies were blocking off the parking lot. I could go put them all back, come pack for you, and keep you blocked in the store for two, maybe three hours, then go do buggies if you want"... HAHAHA. The lady didn't find that as funny as I did. So then I left to go pack for a different till, and I hear Brittany (A Cashier friend of mine) call a manager to till 5, so I think GEEZE it better not be about that stupid lady... So I call Brittany and say "Is it about that lady there"... And kind of nod with my head, and Brittany said yes... So I said "Is she complaining about packers??" and she said yes... "So I roll my eyes and said, Oh sweet Jesus!!" Then I hung up the phone and just kept packing. The lady must of thought that I was a manager, because when She saw that I was ignoring her after I talked to Brittany, the lady takes here Buggy and leaves the store! HAHA!! I WIN 1 TO NOTHING!!!!!

So, I got even more chapped later in the day when I went to pack for Brittany and she told me that the lady was yelling at her too!! Apparently while Brit was packing her own bags after ringing up the items and putting them in the buggy for the lady, the stupid lady was like "You shouldn't have to do that! You should have a packer!" So Brit apologizes, and the lady yells and says "It's not your fault, you shouldn't have to do this, get a packer here". This cycle of Brit apologizing and the lady yelling went through three times. Stupid lady, IF IT'S NOT HER FAULT THEN DON'T YELL AT HER!!! I tell you folks, we should put all the stupid people in the world, put them on a steam ship, and send them all to Antarctica!

On a more positive note, my friend Adam's sister Jane is getting married, and I will be playing guitar at her wedding!! Very exciting, I can't wait! Congratulations, Andy and Jane :)

Have a great day folks (and week if I don't post before then)

Cheers

Down Isle 13....

Hey folks,

I'm back due to popular demand A.K.A. Adam commenting how infrequently I update ;) What to say what to say? Oh! I know!!! So tonight at work (Friday, November 17) I'm running along doing my merry little job, when all of a sudden out of no where this guy jumps out from an isle and ask "Excuse me sir, where do you keep your air filters?"
"Air filters?" I ask,
and he responds "you know, they type for you car"! The type you have for your car?!! DO WE LOOK LIKE AN AUTOMOTIVE STORE? So I tell this gentleman (he wasn't' really rude up to this point) that we don't actually sell car accessories except air fresheners, oil and windshield fluid. He then says "That's it? No Air Filters?" So I tell him "I'm sorry sir, we only have limited items because we are not an automotive store, we're a grocery store."
And then the idiot goes to say "Well Wal-Mart sells air filters".... Wal-Mart sell air filters hey? WELL THEN WHY IN GOD'S NAME DID YOU COME HERE???? WALMART IS JUST UP THE STREET! WHY NOT JUST GO THERE WHERE YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THEM!!!! Geeze!!! So anyways, this guy leaves, and kind of acts all mopey like I ruined his day by telling him that we don't sell air filters. From now on, when a customer comes in asking for a totally stupid item I'm just going to tell them that it's down Isle 13 down with all the other stuff we don't carry (for those of you who don't know, this is funny because at Save-On-Foods [My story at least] they do not have Isle 13's, it jumps straight from 12 to 14) .

Another funny thing was tonight, one of my co-workers answers the phone, and kind of starts laughing to himself, then he come up to me and says "Hey Andrew, I've totally had one of those random experience you have all the time now!". Apparently the guy on the phone asks my friend if he knows what kind of material we wrap our milk in, in the warehouse! Apparently the guy on the phone starts explaining all these different types of materials, and every time my coworker said he didn't know the guy goes off explaining a different feature. My co-worker has learnt from the best (Me), instead of taking the time to find out what kind of material it is, he just passed the call along to a manager! Now that was smart thinking!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy these newest adventures from the grocery store, and I will definitely try and update a little more often. Have a great night folks.

Cheers
