I move on

I’ve taken the bells down because I am feeling well again, even if the apartment still isn’t fully clean. theda_b, I’m still taking applicants for that naked 50s housewife position so hurry up or I’ll end up with some mook.Leon, my manager, has been on holidays in Turkey all week and so I’ve had a (relatively) peaceful time doing both our jobs with half the stress and annoyances I normally face. It’s amazing how much faster you get stock checks and paperwork done when there isn’t a bloke with an annoying English accent standing behind you talking crap (“I’ve got a plan for you to help me steal a boat, do you have a pin-striped suit and a clipboard?” “I don’t care how many people were around; if I had to pretend to do that J-Lo doggy-style I’d have a huge erection!”). In fact on average I did double the work this week in just over half the time. I guess that “does not work well with others” thing applies to me after all.Of course the infamous Ray managed to fuck up – did I really expect anything less from the man who fills out important forms with spellings liked “dident” and “I tryed”? On Wednesday we were scheduled to have a BSI and PVT pull, which means that a lot of new releases were going to change price and become back catalogue rentals. To do this we need to match the covers to the tapes or DVDs, select which ones we’re going to keep and then sell the rest off for 7.50. It’s a big job, but it’s relatively brainless. Ray requested that he work that Wednesday and because I fancied the day off I allowed him to do it. He’d done a BSI pull hundreds of times; he couldn’t possibly fuck up with all of the instructions written out and me being only a phone call away, right? Wrong.I came in Thursday morning (our busiest day each week because we receive our deliveries) to find that he hadn’t done it. His excuse? “Uh, well, I listened to the voicemail in the morning and Frank said something and I couldn’t hear if he said the BSI had to be on FOR or ON Thursday so I left it just in case”.W. T. F?The fortunate thing about all of this was when my District Manager called and asked why the hell the system didn’t show the BSI as having been done I was able to innocently and neatly pass the buck onto that carnie twat. Let’s hope it goes some way towards getting his ass canned.One last thing, I’m going to be getting my nipples pierced in two weeks (despite being freaked out by a certain picture posted on a certain now-closed message board) and I was wondering – is it inappropriate to hit on your piercer? I quite fancy the pants off mine but I’m thinking hitting on someone who is piercing your nipples is a little bit sleazy. Think I should leave a few weeks in between?
