My Case of the Monday’s

It started like any normal Monday, wake up at nine, eat breakfast
catch 15 min of sports center just to make sure I still don’t like it.
Not that I want to hate it, I don’t, but I want a smarter sports
center. Anyway I checked on my newest fictional baseball universe,
whined to myself that I can’t just play that all day long, showered,
left for work.

On my way to work I paid rent, stopped at walgreens for some bottled
water, I got the cheapest one, but I guess the sign was wrong so I
ended up paying 2 dollars more than I wanted, but it was a Monday and
I should have seen that coming. I got to work to find out that Barb is
back. You guys don’t know her, but imagine a retarded foreigner who is
29, wishes she was 19, who likely slept her way up to her position.
She’ll be back to babysit for good. Ugh.

Whatever I plan on turning in my 2 weeks any day now, so I try to get
over that.  Then walks in a former employee to make an exchange. This
employee was the biggest whiner, most undependable, waste of garbage I
have ever met. I couldn’t fire him for no reason though and he was one
of our top 5 guys (good looking I guess by our district managers
standards). So I wrote him up for not showing up twice, and when he
did come I asked him to acknowledge them he didn’t, he bitched and I
fired him. This was 6 months ago.

Now he’s here to exchange some jeans with no receipt. They recently
went on sale so I followed store policy and could only give the sale
price. Which at this point he flipped out and went bipolar and started
to get upset. He said I could do something for him, I said I can’t and
he said to not fuck with him, and I said I wasn’t. He then said
whatever he cares not about the $10. I said okay. Then he says “do not
mess with me man, watch out” and I’m going to get it, and that I fit
in here.

I pretty much stood there and watched him leave. Then like Nicolas
Cage at the end of The Rock  where he got caught and is sitting in the
cell and just repeating what the guy said to him over and over again,
I walked around the store saying don’t mess with me man, watch out.

Its just ridiculous. What a morning and it wasn’t even noon yet.
