DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[AnneR]

Hey all -

Stopping in to say hi. I'm at work and have a slow moment. There are two mom's with their kids sitting across from me coughing, not covering their mouth, and blowing their noses - Mom's and kids. I heard one mom said that they had allergies. ummmm - ALL OF YOU? Ummm yeah, I believe that. they're running around touching everything. Do you think I'm being a germaphob?

Take it from someone who is under the weather - coughing, blowing nose the whole works - NO!!
Wash your hands as much as you can.

 

[Minnie Lor]

Not at all. You just don't want to get sick!

Thanks. One of the professors closed the doors to the outside but I opened one back up. It's 72 degrees, sunny, and windy. Hoping the fresh air will help. Can't afford to get sick. I can deal with a small cold but don't want that other crud.

I do and try very hard to not touch face but that's a hard habit to break. I always carry alcohol wipes in purse. I wipw phones, pens, and keyboards down with one each morning.

I hope you feel better. You have a trip coming up and you don't want to be sick. I went thru that exactly a year ago. I kept it at bay till I got to WDW and then it hit hard. We still went from open to close and had a great time.

9 days

I would rather be down now than next week. Thanks for the well wishes.

 

[Minnie Lor]

I love Black Friday! Big surprise, I know. I am shopping by 4 am. I just get such a rush from it. I love the crowds and the excitement. Black Friday is probably my 2nd favorite holiday.

You're too funny. Last year I worked in a jewelry store at the mall. Obviously had to work black Friday. We were open at 7 am. The manager didn't schedule enough people for the early morning. It was We were packed, customers were yelling, etc....not something I want to repeat.

Yeah, but it's better that you get over the sickies first. F&W Festival will just taste better and you'll have more energy.

My daughter works retail - Black Friday is not one of her favorite days especially when she had to start at midnight and work shifts clear through the weekend.

I hope I can taste - right now everything is the same

I'm not cut out for retail. People are so pushy and demanding. It takes a certain type of person to deal with that on a regular basis.

Me either - I would get so bored.

I would last about 6 hours in retail. Then I would be hauled off to jail for squishing some annoying customers head.

Now see I loved my retail years and if it weren't for the bad pay and the uncertainty of what retailers will still be here next week, I would go back in a heartbeat.

You would just fire everyone Scott.

 

[DVCsince02]

Chris doesn't like you posting his picture all the time Mike.

Shhh. Phillip was a competitive ballroom dancer before we met, but I have two left feet and he has no patience with me so he doesn't dance anymore. Don and Paul: He has quite a gun collection and has spent the past two years building a 409 engine for his Impala station wagon, so no talk of taking away his man card.

I know who I'm dancing with.

I'm not good at rejection.

I have a feeling you've got very little rejection in your life.

I;'m going to say Happy Birthday, Congrats, I'm sorry to hear that, I'd be angry too and any other emotion that I may have missed. Hopefully, I'll be around more this week!!

Love and Miss you all!!

That about sums it all up.

So let's see...so far today, I've helped feed the baby...and clip coupons...Jen's taken me to the gas station and grocery shopping and now I'm in the drive thru getting a sweet tea...

Jen and I are now heading to pick up Ethan from preschool...ah...the wonders of modern technology...and thank goodness we are both on the same phone network!

What?



Andrea - There is a thread on the budget board about those toys you may want to check out.

 

[Minnie Lor]

I liked what I did even though it was very tedious. I didn't deal with alot of customers on a regular basis. My job was bookkeeping, tracking stock, keeping up with the loose diamonds, etc. I got paid very well but I also was part of the close out team when the store closed it's doors on Christmas Eve. We couldn't tell our customers until 2-3 days before we closed and that was only because I insisted we be honest.

Now see I loved my retail years and if it weren't for the bad pay and the uncertainty of what retailers will still be here next week, I would go back in a heartbeat.

Me too! We went out last year and had a blast.

[AnneR]

I'm with you Paul, around here the people in the crowds are mean. Why would I get up early to get yelled at by some rude person, only to wait an hour plus in line to check out?

 

[sshaw10060]

You're probably right Anne. I have always dreamed of having Gordon Ramsey day at work where I could go around and tell everyone to get the **** out of my ICU. It would be cathartic. I did once tell a receptionist to leave and never come back. She was a moron and I was done. Needless to say, the hospital director was not amused.

Generally, I really am a nice guy. I swear.

I'm sure you are very nice but have a low tolerance for incompetance.
