Assistant Manager: "You're not here!"
Me: "That's because I'm not working today."
Assistant Manager: "No, I asked you Friday if you could work today!"
Me: "And I said 'maybe, it would depend on the hours'. You never mentioned what hours, you never said anything else, and I wasn't on the schedule when I left last night!"

This happened back when iTunes gift cards could only be used for digital content. A customer brings $400 worth of them to my register.
Me: "Before I activate these, I need to ask what you're buying them for. Has anyone told you to pay for them using gift cards?"

ysabetwordsmithToday is partly sunny and mild.
I fed the birds. I've seen sparrows, house finches, a male and a female cardinal separately.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 10/25/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

Update
Oct. 25th, 2026 10:54 ammarthawellsStill recovering from breaking my wrist but pain is much less and I'm getting some function back, just have to be really careful. I had a cold, which seems to be going away now. My upper back is having issues because with the bad wrist I can't do the excersises I need for it. Went out and voted and am so stressed about this election. Hope is so painful sometimes.
Anyway, hope everybody is hanging in there.

I had gotten married and moved to Ohio. At one point a year or two ago, my mom accidentally ordered a second-hand book and had it mailed to my address instead of hers. I had to spend money mailing it back to her, and after the third time, I told her that if she did this again, I would just return the package to the sender.

A customer buys a smartphone from our electronics department. Once the transaction is complete, she hands the box back to me.
Customer: "Now I need you to set it up."
Me: "What do you need help with?"
Customer: "Everything. Transfer my contacts, install all my apps, set up my email—the whole thing."

Southeast Shoreline bike project
Oct. 25th, 2026 01:16 amsolarbirdShoreline is launching a project to improve bike support in southeast Shoreline. There’s a project page and a questionnaire, and you don’t have to live in Shoreline to fill it out, as long as you bike in Shoreline or want to but feel you can’t.
Here’s the project page; note the link to the survey. If you take the survey, you can then sign up for the mailing list, which I did. If any of this is relevant to you, go fill it out and sign up for the mailing list!
