Ok, I'm trying to blog at home to cut down on taking up time when I get to my uncle's house or even the cafe later. I just remembered that my uncle's usb ports are in the back of the computer and his computer is low and kinda slotted in his desk. I don't want to go back there.
Well today was ok.
I spent my first night alone last night, and woke up late as always, but I had a more sounder sleep then I had the night before. I got up and looked for a few things to help with sending off Jhodie's early shots record. I ended up leaving the house at 8:50 or so, and I got to the clinic at 1 till 9, just to realize that I couldn't get a copy at that time because it was baby day. I don't know where else has this, but every Monday, and maybe some other day, a parent brings their newborn or child up the age of like 5 I think to the clinic to have them weighed and give them shots. The place was full. I just turned right back to catch a bus.
If I get to work before 15 past I'm ok. I think that I got there around 10 past, and it seemed that most of the higher up staff was late getting to work, or I just get there before them now that I think about it. Most of the days I'm there, I here them coming in and saying good morning. Oh well.
Well I had cleaned up most the area back in "my" section, and just cleaned up a few things outside before I went to the last two places that I really had left to fix up. Later I realize that I all need to fix up the front part by the casher. They a wall of mostly meds there, but it's a thin wall. Behind the first line for a few of them is just air, or fallen down things.
Before I got to that I had to get Komar to set the price for this thing that had been sitting on the floor from the day I got there. I didn't agree that it was the same as the other product by the same people, but he thought it was and gave it the same price. He's the boss.
Then I was told to move the chocolate bars back to the front. I have moved them over the side on a shelf because another cart had been placed there and we need the space for line and left carts and such. Well I moved most of it back to the front, but I had to leave some on the side, because they couldn't all fit. I had what was on the side and 6 boxes. He didn't know about the other two, or most of them would have fit. *grin*
We are currently selling off some Indian snack food from a company called "Garden" We have like 5 things from them. They aren't selling that well. Most people down here don't try new things, even if they are worth 99cents. The number of times I've hear, "I never heard of that yet." and then watch them, on occasion, throw it back I was happy that they didn't think I was one of them. Oh come one, try something, you may like it. Granted I try to let them know that some of them are hot, but most of them just want it to be sweet, or cheesy, or with coconut. Cheese? Does India even know what chesses is? I don't think they make cheese there. Do they? I would go check on line now, but I don't have that ability anymore.
Well I moved the bars, added more the set out snacks, and I thought that I found a nice little treat. In one of the boxes, there was a bag that wasn't like the others. Oohh. It said Cornflakes Mix. On the back it said that it had it, Corn Flakes, Roasted Spilt Gram, Vegetable Edible oil, Sugar, (this could be one of the sweet one) Dry Coconut, Peanuts, Cashew Nuts, Raisins... at this point I stopped reading and put it aside for me to buy.
I fixed few displays where I was taking the bars from and threw out the boxes and put some carts up, then I paid for new snack. I was so happy to find it that I was so disappointed to find that it had something else in the bag. *bummer* Right box, wrong bag, right contents. Tasty Nuts. That was the box it was in, and that was what was in the bag. It's just roasted peanuts covered in like hot spices, and it's crusted on like a shell. Great. I didn't have enough water to all of it, so I cracked the shell off and just ate the peanuts. Ever so often I would eat part of a shell to get some taste to go long with the peanut.
Well I fixed up one of the two places I had on my list and I just fiddled with the other part until the casher came back from her lunch brake so I could go. I left about 2:30. Now before I explain how a hot dog stole $5 from me I'll update you on Jhodie.
Well, so far it seems that she found the place ok. She called to me slightly complain that I didn't tell her that taxes doubled as busses. I told her that they aren't true taxes and that I did tell her, she just forgot like I did since it was all the way back in December.
Well she got the place ok, she was second in line, and they didn't need to have her earlier records, and they got out of there around 10:23am. It seems that I just got one of the worst times of the year to go there. I was there until the afternoon I'm sure, I was 4th or 6th, I'm not sure, and I had to walk like 1/4 of a mile to the place because I took the wrong bus that day. Lucky her.
She had been trying to call me since she got out, but wasn't able to get me until I texted her around noon or so. They tried to go to the movies, but found out that they were way to early. I didn't even remember until she called back in like 30 mins to let me know that the place was closed. I think that they don't open until 5 or so. So I was trying to tell her though the static that she couldn't get a bus from there to go back to the guest house or to the supper market that I told her about. She went back to the terminal and then called to tell me that I didn't tell her this and I didn't her that about the place. It seems that the place has a lot more going for it now, then it did when I was there. At least I was able to get her on the right bus back to the guest house.
I told her that I would call her back tonight.
Ok, I now go off for lunch. I went up the Palm Cafe and I got an orange and carrot drink and had a saltfish pizza along with a oatmeal raisin cookie. Well the drink was only 30% juice, the pizza slice was $4.50 and peppery, which I remembered just before I took my first bite. They make stuff with too much pepper down here. The cookie I had no issue with. I was still hungry, since I didn't eat breakfast. I also had to go get some aspirins. So I walked up to the new City Drug Store, and got the aspirins and looked around a bit more, and picked up a newspaper. When I came out I saw a hot dog cart. Now I know that this chart has more then just hotdogs. So I stopped to asked, and from about 5 things long with cookup I think, or was it goat water, I picked a hotdog thinking $3 was fine to send since I just got ride of $6+ for my pills and the news and $8+ down at the cafe, but when it was all done I then asked how much it cost to to have her tell me that it was $5. $5?! Great. Paid up, walked back to the cafe, ate it and read a few things until I went back to work.
I got back to work to find two things. One, yogurt for $1 each, I got 4, and to hear that a lady came looking for me. A lady?? Ok.
I went back to work, then about 30 mins in Ms Cummberbatch came by. She was the lady it turnes out. She was a bit surprised that no one know who I was. I told her that most people don't know my name yet. Well we talked, and it seems that Ayo sent her to me, so I could help her build a website for class. She was taking some courses, and part of one of them is to build a website. So she needed help and found me. Cool. I have a gig. She is picking me up and paying me for my help. I don't expect to get much out of this, but at least I might be able to pay somebody the $200 on my before I cut into it before pay day on Thursday.
Well the rest of my was ok. I was most re-arranging racks and such to have it look like there was some logic to the whole thing. I didn't finish it before I left, but it's just about there, I just more or less just have to find space the stuff that I had to take down to make the place look decent. I even found a few things that I didn't even know was there. As if the cockroach that was living between the batteries that I found on Saturday wasn't enough, at least this wasn't a living thing but something people was asking for.
I passed a fender bender outside of KFC, I got a bus up from there, and I read my paper was it was the bus terminal waiting for more passengers. Some old lady that I didn't know came up and said hi to me. I'm sure she thought that I was my sister.
I more or less came home to eat, and to tape StarGate for Jhodie and Nika. Food I got, more or less, and StarGate, that was off a bit too. It seems that they were having alot of technical problems tonight, besides the two times it cut into StarGate, it was out 2 other times with in the hour before StarGate started.
Well I called Jhodie up around 9:30 to find out that she was at the movies. Well. I'll told her to call me when she got back to the house. Oh, speaking of calls. My uncle called me to see if I was doing ok. It was a nice thing. Lynn called me too. Her mouse stopped moving. *grin*.. I told her to restart her computer. She was going to call me back if it didn't work. She hasn't called me back so I guess it worked.
Ok, I'm written this up, and I'm going to end up blogging it from the cafe. I don't want to go behind my uncle's computer. I'll do a quick in and out, and not spend more then $2.
Oh, I did forget one thing. Ms Cummberbatch is picking me up after work tomorrow at 5pm. So I have to check to see when House is coming on so I can set the VCR to tape it so I don't miss it.
Well that's it.
Night.
