An old man came in the other day to buy a couple of small items. Upon giving him his change, which include a ten, a five, and a few ones, he handed me back the five and said, “Someone just told me: If you look at the back of a five dollar bill, you’ll see a hitchhiker.”
You know you want to go look. Go find a five, and look for the hitchhiker. We’ll finish this story later.
Rule #14: It is mandatory that when a balloon truck is on its way, you must sell out of at least one balloon everytime you work. (Oh wait, maybe that just seems to be for me …)

Orbit now advertises A More Fabulous Clean Feeling! (which means what?)
Recent Murphy Attempts Include:
– Dropping a huge box of rubber bands on me from the top of the shelf [no worries, I caught it with my face]
– Sending out kamikaze wind spinners to dive in front of the vacuum cleaner [the poor vacuum cleaner can hardly stand on its own anymore - the battle is really taking a toll on her]
– the ultimate offense: trying to take my life. A pair of scissors flew off the shelf, and sliced a good chunk of skin off of the side of my foot. [that's what I get for wearing nonappropriate battle shoes]. It’s still healing – three weeks later.
Random Customer Saying
You’re a very efficient girl.
(I had only rung up her items, bagged them, and gave her change.)
Little kids can be so adorable. This conversation made me laugh though.
Little girl: Mommy, can I get that balloon? (pointing to a Happy Secretary’s Day balloon)
Mother: Honey, you can get that when you’re an assistant.
Did you look at the five yet?? Couldn’t find him? I couldn’t either. The old guy took the five back from me, and says, “Oh, someone must’ve picked that hitchhiker up.”
