  • You know it's Monday when...

    Your boss calls from the back room (his office) saying "hey, uh, (KiaKat)... I may have a slight technical emergency here..." while you're trying to get the SSL certificate and Merchant Account set up for the new website...

    Only to walk back there and discover that he managed to receive an email, click on a link, enter his username and password...

    Yup. My boss fell victim to a phishing scheme. Not a very good one, either. He was promptly yelled at by both his wife and me.

    *facepalm*

    That's Boss for you!

    (the man is in his 40's, a business owner, a daily user of email and phone, and yet finds it impossible to figure out texting, setting ANYTHING up on his iPhone, or doing anything more advanced in his email than sending and receiving messages.)

    You come into work to a massive amount of 1506

    Have to play catch up on the newspapers that the weekend crew constantly messes up before someone comes in to count the clippings to re-imburse the store for un-sold newspapers

    The cigarette order that comes in on my day off on Friday has been left for me to do because other people have decided it all overstock.

    You have to figure out who is opening partial cartons of cigarettes and leaving them in overstock. I am so glad I do not have to do counts on the smokes ever.

    The night crew leaves me their put-away's.

    No one but me can figure out how to do scan, print and put up the monthly smokes add tags.

    Someone leaves warm expired milk in the photo sink instead of emptying it out and putting it in the 1506 bin.

    Someone leaves expired juice sitting on the office counter instead of emptying the containers and putting them in the 1506 bin.

      ....You have eight voicemails from people saying their ad didn't run; come to find out an entire classification of ads was somehow dropped from the Sunday paper, and there are way more than eight unhappy customers...those are just the ones who called our voicemail.

      Bonus points if the missing ads are death notices

        ...instead of being able to cuddle up with the boyfriend (he gets nice and toasty in bed ), his alarm goes off at too-frakkin-early o'clock and he has to get out to bed

          From context, it looks like "1506" is your workplace's code for "merchandise that's been written off due to going bad". Am I correct?

            Indeed. Damaged and stolen goods (package opened, product gone).

              I used to do the counts at my job when I worked overnight. It took up a huge portion of my shift. I know the feeling.

                Yes it is. This includes stuff that is expired. damaged or empty package due to being stolen.

                        No, but I once attended a frat party where the priest brought the beer bong.

                            Oh, trust me. Corny sexual innuendos abound around here. You'll get plenty of chances to make up for your brain cramp.
