“I think you will LOVE that phone.” (Apparently its a new puppy)
10-2 is such a short and strange shift. You come in after the store has been opened for an hour, so its not real busy and you weren’t there for the open credits. If your lucky, you get a swarm of customers during the rush hour of lunch, but thats about it. Your left to entertain yourself. Everyone must of been sleeping in today because its Monday and well, 4th of July is this weekend, gotta get their rest in now apparently. 4 hours seems kinda pointless to get up, shower, dress nice, and drive to Tuscaloosa for no one. But my, the time flew by. If I ever work an 8 hour shift again, I wont know what to do with myself.
Speaking of my store, this weekend in Atlanta there is a book conference going on. Most of my fellow co-workers are there today (and I was going to go today… yeah we wont talk about that) getting free books and meeting lots of authors in the Christian world. Sounds just like my cup of tea doesn’t it? Well, my wonderful dear friend Jordan called and made my day. Why did he make my day? Well, he got to met Kristin Billerbeck and told her how much I loved her book “What A Girl Wants” and how I got everyone at the store into reading it and were on the edge of our seats for “She’s Out of Control” to come out. That’s sweet in and of it self, but then, THEN Jordan tells me, he got me a signed copy of “She’s Out of Control” which isn’t due out till August! I’m such a geek, getting this excited over a book, but I don’t care. I’m in a happy bubble that would take a lot to pop right now.
I’m getting a new cell phone today. Well, actually, I’m just paying for a new cell phone today. The sales lady that helped me was… I wish I knew the word for her. Her voice kinda sounded like a night DJ gone bad or something. She had me holding in laugher. I couldn’t laugh because I don’t think she was trying to be funny. Everything was “perfect” that I did. Do they get commission? They have too or else I don’t get why she was such a happy go lucky gal over cell phone service. She was excited about my joining their company “That’s music to my ears.” And apparently I have a “GREAT!” number. I never thought of it, but now, I feel very good about my cell phone number. Which wont change by the way, so don’t worry everyone. They had a nice deal, and I agreed to it. She about jumped out of the phone to hug me. They record most sales calls now a days don’t they? I want a copy of her and my conversation, she was great. Virizon is a VERY friendly company.
