So I wake up this morning getting ready to go to my ultra shitty job like I do everyday and when I go outside to my car I realize that my rear passenger side tire is flat. Well that’s just a fucking great way to start out my Tuesday morning. Although on the side it was nice because I got to go in late to work. Well, I could hear the air leaking out of the tire so I knew that I must have drove over something. Well when I pulled the old tire off and put the little donut on there I not only noticed that a rock had punctured my tire but also that my tread was almost non existent. So that means that on my day off tomorrow I will be out spending my hard earned cash on rubbers. Unfortunately tire rubber. After the fun this morning I looked at my other three tires and realized that the little donut tire had more tread on it than the other three combined. Oh yeah, and from what I can see so far, the tires I need will cost close to $100 a piece. Ya-fuckin-hoo.
But wait, it gets better. I get to work today and there is a pallet of puzzles sitting in the backroom. Not a case a pallet. A fucking pallet of puzzles sitting there. Now just what in the hell am I going to do with 300 puzzles, especially considering that I still have around 50 sitting around from last year? So I get pissed and decide to peer through my pre-books and see what other surprises await me. Well, when I saw spring and summer I realized that the fun was going to continue all the way through April. I don’t know if I put it in here or not so I’ll reiterate it a little for the history lesson. At the end of summer last year starting in July I tried to get retail markdowns on most of the items I was going to run long on. I was flatly denied being told that we would not have any markdowns. Then after summer was finished and done another yahoo from our corporate comes in and wants to know why we didn’t mark all of this shit down and sell through. So now I am sitting on all of this shit which brings us to today. My order for next year was really light. I ordered light anticipating having this shit I have now still here next summer; and I was right. Well apparently after almost ten years I don’t know what I’m doing because some dumb motherfucker up at our corporate office altered my order extensively. Some of the shit I did order he either doubled or tripled. A ton of the shit I have mondo overstock from last year on he ordered for me. The sad thing is I doubt there is anything that I can do about it either. Besides who knows my store better than some dumb bastard that’s never even set foot inside it? That’s what I thought.
