lavandarlizard2My sense of time is so screwed up... I haven't worked weekends in 20 years... >.< It shows. I am also not amused by customers. I am cashiering. And expected to answer a phone. That's almost like *inviting* me to go psycho. If I didn't know that this is only temporary, I might really have to go zero on some people. >_> No, I am definitely NOT a 'people person'.
"Oh, please! Just stay out of trouble; that's all I ask, Maxwell!" Une stood in the doorway, looking only a bit ruffled. She stalked over to grab a straight chair. "Noin has that under control," she said sourly, referring to the media blitz. "The cops are still freaking out or those bastards wouldn't have gotten in here in the first place. But never mind that now. Maxwell, how are you feeling?"
Duo waggled his hand in a so-so gesture. "Hurts; feels weird. Annoying, since we had our vacation planned."
"You can still talk, I see," she smirked, and Duo glared at her. "I know, nothing would stop that," she agreed. "Well, as of now you all have six weeks combined medical and stress leave. I don't want to see any of you -" She glanced at Wufei. "Especially *you* in the office for six weeks. Oh, by the way, Chang; congratulations," she said slyly. "I believe you have Lamaze classes beginning next week."
Wufei inclined his head regally. "Thank you, Commander; and I believe I do."
She snickered. "Continuing; I see no reason why you can't add your vacation onto your convalescence, if you so choose. It’s not like you haven’t all got time on the books. Keep me advised." She stood and offered her hand formally to Duo and to Heero. "Thank you both for your parts in capturing Romero Kaloogian; outstanding work, as usual." She turned to Wufei. "Chang, thank you for your part in the capture. Outstanding performance." He bowed minutely.
She headed for the door, pausing briefly. "Enjoy your time off; I'm sure your desks will be over-flowing once you return." She lifted her hand in farewell and vanished.
Duo rolled his eyes. "Now, exactly how are we supposed to enjoy our time off with that threat hanging over us?" he snorted.
Heero grinned at him. "I believe we will manage somehow... I am still capable of one-handed push-ups," he murmured in Duo's ear.
Duo’s eyes lit up and he chuckled warmly. “I’ll just bet you are,” he breathed.

Date: 2007-10-21 04:05 pm (UTC)I really cringe when I get one who pipes up "that's supposed to be 50% off!" because I know they got whatever it is from the wrong place, and they're going to throw a fit when that is pointed out to them. *sigh*
Woman did that. Picked up two rolls of pretty ribbon from the 50% off rack, then hacks up a hairball when they came up full price. It's obvious they aren't the cheap ribbon; different label, much nicer, but she starts frothing at the mouth about lousy service, misleading signs, etc. And her husband is standing back just rolling his eyes. She even made him pay for all of it. I would have offered her the 40% off the most expensive item, but she pissed me off. >.< Customers suck.
