Tick-Tacks

I'm glad I'm home. I slept great last night... all 4 hours I got to sleep.

It was everything I had in me to pull my arse out of bed. I was a little sore, but nothing like yesterday morning.

Work was pretty hectic. Well, not hectic, busy. Our district manager was in today. Usually there is a big fuss when the big guy walks in, but I'm never really too worried about it. He's nice and seems to like me okay--especially after the tick-tack incident. (yeah, I guess that needs some explaining)

He left his jacket in the phone room one day during a walk, and I put a container of tick-tacks (only one tick-tack left) in his jacket with a note that said "merry christmas from the service desk" A couple of weeks later he came back in the store, hunted me down and gave them back.
Very silly, and not too terribly funny... it was just a random thing to do. He gave me a hard time about it and said "I've been carrying this thing around for a weeks waiting to give it back"
I told him I didn't want him to feel left out, especially since he only came to visit once a month.

Well, two months later and he still hasn't forgotten about the tick-tack joke. Today he walked up to me, shook my hand, and with a big grin said "you've got to stop sticking stuff in my jacket" umm....

Apparently he's been finding pens, buttons, little bits of trash...etc... in his pocket. LOL
For once, it wasn't me! But he doesn't believe me. Now, everytime I see him he calls me "pocket-stuffer"

My store manager came up to me after the DM left and said, "want in on a little secret?"

Why not?

"I put all the junk in his pocket and blamed you"

I've been framed! O_o

Ahh well, it's silly, but it certainly helps to bring the DM down to the human level.

Not much to do tonight. May go do some yoga laterish. Or I might catch up on some sleep. I'm closing tomorrow, but I want to hit the dojo for am classes tomorrow.
