And Now For Something Different...

Back to Lens Crafters I go. First day was pretty good. I'm still worried about flying solo. There's just so much to remember! My measly little unworked brain isn't sure it's able to handle all the information! It all seems fairly straightforward, I just know that I'm going to make some huge mistake and then it's going to be bad. Like, VERY bad. Like, THE EARTH IS NOW ON FIRE BECAUSE I MESSED UP YOUR PRESCRIPTION bad. People tend to be very... enthusiastic about their glasses. We had both extremes on what I'm now calling my enthused spectrum yesterday. One lady came in expecting 4 pairs of glasses to be done when only 2 were complete. When this bit of information was passed on to her, not only did her face turn red as a lobster in a boiling pot of water, but it began an interesting tension war throughout the entire store. Mainly because there was another person who was also in at the same time that was IN LOVE with his new glasses. I'm talking walk down the aisle in love. He literally was yelling at the manager about how AWESOME his new frames were and how much he LOVED this store and the people in it and how he would ALWAYS come here for glasses from now on. This would have been awesome if our manager wasn't also getting yelled at for our EXTREME incompetence and TOTAL lack of intelligent employees. NOTICE how I am capitalizing EVERY AWESOME ADJECTIVE AND VERB?!?! I just wanted to make sure you were paying attention. But really- it was a good first day back but goodness gracious did I get a reminder of the good and bad that come with it. I was just waiting for the two customers to start going at it. I can see it now:
Lobster Lady: I HATE THIS STORE!
Happy Coffee-Cracked Man: I LOVE THIS STORE!
LL: THEY SUCK HERE!
HCCM: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! HAHAHAHA! But no, really, THEY ROCK HERE!
LL: MY LIFE SUCKS AND I BLAME IT ON THEIR INCOMPETENCE!
HCCM: MY LIFE SUCKS TOO! BUT NOW I CAN SEE IT SUCKING MUCH CLEARER AND THAT IS AWESOME!
LL: GO TO HELL.
HCCM: NO THANK YOU! HAVE A F*ING FANTASTIC DAY MA'AM! YEAAHHHHH!
I don't know where that came from. But it happened and now I can move on. Bottomline- yesterday went okay and I'm hoping today goes well, too. Otherwise I will be at work for 8 hours and hating life. Which is unacceptable.
Also, my internship still hasn't gotten back to me. I have to work tomorrow during their meeting so I have no clue what she wants me to do about it. So yep. I'm just not gonna care. Awesome.
