Today was a good day at work.
9-17 day, as all my Saturdays. I have to start up stuff. And, today, I’ve been running around like a yo-yo. First, around noon, a customer arrives. She has a purchase order of around 33k NOK, paint, flooring, suchlike. She’d been directed to me and presents her case fairly — all her cards have a block of 10k NOK, so she can’t pay the order (we’re not allowed to split payment of one order over three). Apparently she had been bounced around three other people before being sent to me. So I had to ring up my manager in order to get an OK for a deposit solution (we charge you 30% of the sum right there and then, and send a bill for the rest). She was so happy to get it through that she spontaneously hugged me. I’m sure that must’ve been a sight.
One moment after that situation finishes, a new one starts. This guy had been bounced around the store, arguably because nobody understood his dialect. Until it was pointed out that he was speaking English.
Three weeks left in this job. Then one more week. Then Canada.
