When I got to work I started off in guest service. I like it so much better there than cashiering. But, once 4 pm hit, 4 cashiers went home, and I was stuck back on lanes.
On lunch, the ONLY good thing of the day happened. I stopped at Game Stop to trade in 2 games and pay off Fall Out 3. Dude asked if I was going to come back for the midnight release, and I told him I was still debating, since I got off at 10:15. But did I really want to wait around 2 hours in the cold after working 8? No. Did I want to come back tomorrow on my day off? Also no. So sweetie that he was, he pulled a no-no and gave me a copy right then.
He did forget to give me the soundtrack though. Game Stop always seems to be good at forgetting to give me pre-order stuff. heh. I called him and he put it away for me to pick up Wednesday.
So, more events. At work around 8:40 pm, my register shorts out and shocks me. The shock went through 2 fingers and up my arm. At first I though the clothes I was ringing up just shocked me...until my arm went kinda tingly numb. Also the register stopped working. We had to call the ambulance to make sure I was ok. They came with the sirens on and everything. I was so embarrassed. I was the talk of the store. hehe. They checked my heart rate and blood pressure, both of which were perfect. I told them I didn't need to go to the hospital and that was that. I guess it wasn't so bad to sit in the office on my ass for an hour and get paid for it.
Then again, my arm is tingly-numb.
I told my boss, she'd have to forgive me, but I wasn't cleaning that register at close. I didn't really want to spray a liquid on it after it already attacked me once. She laughed but I dunno. I'm kinda scarred of Lane 10 now.
*Edit* My arm is sore as fuck today!
oh man.... i'm so glad that you're ok after getting shocked. they so should make a movie of that: BEWARE OF LANE 10!!!!!!! hope your arm is feeling better.
Whats funny about that is I had just bought the evening with Kevin Smith 2 at big lots for $3 and remembered his speech about the X-men movies just saying its ok to be gay and him mentioning Bryan Singer working on the Superman movie and Superman may be gay in it.
So yeah loved it and the fact he got alot of regulars to come back through his movies was kool too.
