Different day...New S*IT

Okay, so I have saved up my blogging for a good day, and think this count.  A little about myself... I work at a computer chain store... not the "Best" one, not the "City" built on rock and roll, not one where you can get "Fry's" with your TV, but a "Micro" computer store. Anyway, I have been there for almost three years now, and started in the warehouse shipping, receiving, loading customers cars... and have since moved up a bit and have the exciting job of changing the prices on a daily basis. It gets pretty repetitive but shit it pays the bills and the discounts are pretty good. Well, in turn with the new position I pretty much am not required to help with the carryouts. Well, this afternoon I was winding down and figured I would help with a carryout since it was the second call and I knew the person working in the warehouse was not going to move his old ass up front to do anything out of his current scope of organizing his thoughts.

So I get to the front of the store and the cashier says that the customer has gone outside with the product already. So when I finally get outside, there is this older woman lifting a computer into the trunk of her 2008 white BMW 300 Series 4 door sedan, and  she has only an HP network laser-jet printer, the small business model left to load, but it's in a 3x3 box  and it's pretty obvious that it's not going to fit into the trunk of said vehicle. And after taking second look, I determined that I would not be able to squeeze the thing into the back seat either. Especially, not without either a voodoo head shrinker or possibly gouging the leather interior. So I asked her if it was okay to try the front seat, since the front door would open further to get it in the car. Well, it went in but the big useless center console helped prevent the door from closing. So I then said I am going to try and get it into the back seat by leaning the front seat all the way back and lifting it over the console. So I lift it up and rest it on the console, bumping the rear view mirror, and go around to the back to lift it into the rear seat. Mission accomplished!! I return to the front seat, to put it back to its full and upright position. Well I then notice that I did not just bump the mirror I actually KNOCKED IT THE FUCK OFF!  KNOCKED IT THE FUCK OFF!!

Then I looked at it a little closer  and not only did I knock it off… THE FUCKING WINDOW WAS BROKE! FUCKING BROKE!!  Apparently, when I bumped it the mirror popped off, causing the god damn window to spider!! God damn BMW, it can't be like a Ford or some other American car where they fall off on their own.  The woman was actually pretty calm about it,  she said accidents happen. I go and tell the duty manager, who was like WHAT, but after we filled out the proper incident report she was pretty chill about it too. Anyway to put an end to this story the company is going to pay for her new windscreen and hopefully I will not lose my jobby job. Wish me luck!  :)

Hello all and see you around.

Kinda anticlimatic but that is life sometimes...

Dude, that sucks. At least she didn't freak out on you. But she is right. If a customer shows up in a little car and expects you to shoehorn a huge box in there, stuff like this is going to happen.
