As The Station Turns 7/2

 I've been doing the Lottery Experiment and Friday was my ticket buying day but I wanted to avoid the holiday crowd so I went for a walk this morning. However the Boss and Big Boss were hanging out at the Haunted Station so I had to keep going. When I went by the West Side Station it was closed, hmmm. However the Truck Stop Manager drove by so she must have had to go do something and had the West Side Manager covering. When I came back the West Side Station was open again. 

When I got back the Boss was gone so I dropped in at the Haunted Station to say Hi to the Weekend Guy and buy my weekly lottery ticket. He was in a bad mood, the Random Woman had left a mess, again. And she wants Saturday off to run her burrito stand during the Forth party downtown, so he has to work the afternoon at the Haunted Station. It's good news for me because I don't have to do it. I wonder why they didn't get the Part Time Woman to cover? I'm sure she has some excuse.

The Boss is also really really pissed at the Graveyard Shift Guy and the Dyslexic Woman. I guess they both moved a step closer to being fired. All the company has to do is hire a couple of new people and come up with a good enough excuse. Also the Dyslexic Woman got the order yesterday, and left it all in the back in the storage area so the Weekend Guy was having to put it out.

The Big Boss was also doing sketches of the building, they are probably getting ready for the next step in renovating the place to put in the sandwich shop. That should be interesting.

I had to laugh, when I would go by the Late Guy would tell me what a great job he's doing and how much better everything is. However nobody is getting along, nobody is cleaning the place, nobody is stocking and there are three empty slots in the lottery scratch ticket display. Yeah, he's doing a bang up job. 

I got to work and tried to clock in, and it wouldn't recognize me. I tried a dozen different ways and it just wouldn't let me log in. And the Manager was already counting down her drawer, so I said screw it and went to work. the thing let me out at the end of the night. They know what time I show up, they'll just have to add it in.

A family was having a big fight in the building. One of them left the kid in the car, about 10 years old by the way. Dad said he had come inside to use the restroom, the Mother said she was watching the other kids. The rest of the family said they thought he was with someone else. And the kid didn't care, he was just sitting in the car minding his own business. It must be a fun trip.

The Manager was off when she closed her drawer and then remembered, she had a drive off earlier in the day but called a cop friend of hers who caught the guy and made him come back. However she had rung out the original sale and then did a "forced sale" when the guy returned. The first sale was still on the register.

First the souvenirs showed up and then the Red Bull truck. The Manager stuck around for a couple of hours putting stuff away. The Red Bull truck had broken down and it was several hours before he got back on the road. He also had stuff for the West Side Station but they were closed so he dumped it off here. I wasn't sure what was what so I filled up the empty slots and left the rest. I told the Crazy Lady about it but I don't care if she does anything or not. Plus I had tag teamers all day so I couldn't get to it. Bwa ha ha ha ha.

Also in the morning the restrooms of the place next door went down (although they tend to close them when they don't want to clean them) so the Manager was overrun with pissers. She said she had to plunge the toilets twice plus put new paper towels in the restrooms. Later when I went to check them I saw they needed toilet paper, I had put new rolls in there yesterday and they were all gone. I think the owner should send a bill to the other gas station since the people had spent the money there but used our supplies. 

Woo Hoo! I actually got all the trashes dumped on the first try. Then overrun again. 

The cops showed up and were looking for Mrs. Late Guy, and another guy I never heard of. I'm guessing they want a statement about the shoplifting thing since the DA was working on a case, and passing the arrest information on to the prosecutors in Colorado.

A guy came in walking funny, he looked like he was wearing an Edgar suit. And last week a guy came in walking like the T-1000. How come the Black Widow won't come in?

The Boss came by to do the safe. He told me the Older Lady was hanging out across the street with the Part Time Woman. She's either trying to get her job back or they are talking about the good old days when they both worked at the Haunted Station and didn't have to deal with all these other people. 

Mr. and Mrs. Late Guy came by, they wanted slushies. I told Mrs. that the cops were looking for her but at the most it would just be a deposition or a photo lineup of the shoplifter. Late Guy told me that on the 4th he was going to be working at the West Side Station, the Part Time Woman would be opening the Haunted Station and I knew the Weekend Guy was covering the afternoon. The Random Woman was going to be running a burrito stand at the town's 4th of July party. They could have had the Weekend Guy working the West Side Station and the Late Guy opening the Haunted Station, like usual, but I bet the Part Time Woman wanted the night off for the fireworks. It doesn't bother me since I don't have to get involved with any of it. 

The Crazy Lady was in a mood so I told her about the Red Bull and then went home. I don't know how that turned out but I'll probably find out tomorrow.
