Someone in the decision making end of the hardware store has decided that a sure-fire road to success is to have more of what we sell on the shelves, and have less of what we don't sell. Pretty savvy thinking. How this affects me, and that is really the important question, is that I arrived at work this morning to find three times the normal amount of merchandise to be stocked. So, all day today and likely all day tomorrow, I will be stocking my old heart out. I actually perfer stocking to waiting on people, but it isn't one or the other. Our store has adopted a cat. We've had an obviously abandoned, white female cat hanging around the back of the store for awhile. Some of the employees decided to feed and water her and voilà, we have a store cat. The boss says that we must find her a home, but no one is looking too hard. The cat lives under a metal storage rack in the back outside storage area. She cannot come into the store because we have motion sensors and she would set them off. No one thought to provide a litter box for Miss Cat because she lives outside. Unfortunately, the cat sees the whole back storage yard of the store as her litter box. One of the dopey high school kids had to spend Saturday morning washing down the back area to try and rid it of the smell of cat pee. No good deed goes unpunished. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky
