how's that for irony?
Today I was assigned to work in our Mira Mesa store, or "out on the front lines" as I like to think of it. Despite my MAJOR reservations about retail + *britt* = not so much, I put on the helmet and headed for the trenches. Mostly I was concerned about the fact that I have my Japanese final tonight and would have liked to keep as normal a schedule possible, but also, let's face it, I'm not meant for menial tasks, and I have pretty much proven it. In just under 2 hours, I managed to get a hamster stuck in a towel, let a $150 finch (a FINCH! the thing is about 4 inches big! and it's 150 bucks?! what the heck?) out of it's cage (And of course the first thing it does is run smack into the window), and fall in love with a baby sun conure who crawled into my hands and didn't want to crawl out. Good thing I got called back to the office (Half of our staff is out with the flu... MADNESS!) before I ended up going home with half the store.
