People are wondering how this no Saturday at the hardware store is working out? Well, it worked beautifully for two weeks. Then, just when I was getting used to it, the kid who absolutely couldn't live with his hours being cut and wanted mine, asked for the next two Saturday's off. So, I have to work for him. I suspect that this is going to be the pattern for the near term. I get some Saturdays off, but not all of them. I guess some time off is better than none. When I arrived at work today, I noticed a tricked out Cadillac Escalade idling in front of the store, with a young woman in the passenger seat. And by tricked out, I mean garish, gaudy, tasteless, ridiculous-looking, take your pick. But then again, I'm a sixty-year-old geezer, what do I know from hip? I made it to the back of the store just in time to see the car's owner leaving the key counter. He fit the car to a tee. Sweat suit over a wife-beater and about ten pounds of gold jewerly. Right out of central casting. One of my coworkers was gaga over the guy's watch, which reportedly cost $20K. He also managed to drop in conversation that his Escalade cost him $90K, including a $30K sound system. I would love to know that guy's whole story.
