So I'm a pre-intern, meaning I'm just doing classroom observations. But I'm apparently good with kids and jumped in last week and started helping my teacher out. He loved it...so much that he didn't show up today. He left a note saying to look on his desk and he had a lesson plan written up for me. That is so not legal, I haven't had a background check and am not licensed to be left alone with children. Kids annoy me, but I was good and taught his lesson. The janitor came and kept an eye on me, since I couldn't be alone. He said I did a much better job than he had ever seen lazy ass do. So that was 7am-4pm.

Clearance Woes
There's a sign that clearly states "no returns on clearance" in the clearance isle.
SC: I wanna return this
Me: Well, it's past its 90 days, so I can't return it.
SC: Then do it without a receipt
Me: I can't return clearance items. Unless we have a receipt to show the item was not clearance at the time of purchase, the computer won't even allow me to override a return.
SC: How do you know it's clearance?
Me:...I have your receipt. Plus the clearance stickers are a pretty good sign.
SC: Just return it!
Me: I can't.
SC: No one told me I couldn't return it!
Me: There're signs clearly printed AND it's stated on the back of your receipt about the 90 day limit.
SC: I didn't read the sign.
Me: Well, it's clearly posted.
SC: But I didn't read it.
Me: That's not my fault.
SC: Someone should have told me!
Manager (comes over and pulls $3 out of her pocket) Just take your stupid money and go. God dammit! All this over 3 fricken dollars! (it had been a long day for her)
Rant about a CW
This lady always shows up late and has a habit of spending hours with one customer. I don't know why we keep her, they always schedule one extra person to do the work she doesn't do. Waste of money. She takes 10 per customer minimum. I waited in line once with her at the register. 4th person back. 30 minutes. She doesn't listen to the manager because the manager is 23 and she's 53 and she doesn't think she has to. Today she stayed till 6 when she was supposed to be off at 3. Then she proceeded to go behind the cutting counter in uniform and start measuring out her crap. People kept asking her to help them. I asked her to go to the back table or let me do it. She couldn't cut her crap of course, but she didn't know how much she needed yet. Took her 2 hours to figure it out. When she started helping people off the clock I called my manager up and she told her to move. CW stopped helping, but wouldn't get out from behind the counter. Bitch.
Bad Directions
I have no sense of direction. Let me copy some directions my friends wrote for me yesterday. It was hilarious, I didn't read them until I got out to my car.
1. Go out the side exit, across the street and into the garage. Go downstairs and make a left (that's where I last saw your car this morning.)
2. Go up to the 3rd floor and make a right out of the garage.
3. Go to the light and make a right.
4. Make the 2nd left. If you turn at the first light you'll be back in the garage (you're an idiot because you would have turned right when I said left.) If this happens please repeat steps 2-4. If you turn left at the first light then you've really fucked up because you're now in someone's front yard.
The rest of the steps are normal, but there was a cute map and my car looked like a rabid turtle.
So this guy calls and asks me to put stuff aside for him. I do. He then asks for directions. I don't know the are he's coming from, and I don't know the highway. I ask him to hold while I get someone who knows. He says not to put him on hold. I let him know that I really don't know and he'll probably end up on the west coast (I'm on the east coast) if he follows my directions. I put him on hold. He instantly calls back and yells at me for putting him on hold. I tell him to make a right when he exits the highway even though I'm just guessing. Here's what he says:
But my GPS says to turn left!
WTFWTFWTFWTFWTF! If you had a garsh darned dang GPS mechanical device thingie then what was that whole conversation about?
