I'm only happy when it rains.

I'm not really only happy when it rains, but it has been raining at the mall all day and my one sale has my boss in a "not so happy mood." The rain kills peoples want for good kung fu.  It's even killed my urge to watch, which explains the reason why I'm watching the Star Wars Robot Chicken episodes.

There has been a lot of theft in the mall since summer break is in high swing. This is why I pack my running shoes with me on every shift now. There is always that little piece of me that wants to Chase a kid down for stealing some Proactiv or any other pointless item on these kiosks..... Like kung fu movies.

Back to the topic of rain.  Has anyone ever.noticed that when it rains, the lotion and flat iron people tend to back off with their stupid sales pitch. Maybe it should rain ever week day at the mall.  I better get back to selling kung fu movies, after all... These things don't sell themselves.

The life of a kiosk employee.

"Oh ma'am, may I ask you a question?"  I don't sell lotion.. or flat irons.. if "real eygptian cotton sheets." I am a red blooded American, and what do red blooded Americans Sell?  You got it! Kung fu movies. I start my eventful say by arriving at my kiosk around 9:50am, I take the tarp down and look at my kiosk with a sigh.  I realize I am here for 11 hours. Before doing any actual work, I pick out a proper kung fu movie to watch after I count the 1500 some odd Dvds we carry. I prefer a comedy, like Shaolin Soccer to start of with, then a Donnie Yen movie, not Ip Man though, I can only watch the true story of the man who taught Bruce Lee wing chun 50 thousand times...   Since week days are slow I figure I would start this up again. It.will be tough since I always argue with the girl at Big Thursdays (the 9 kiosks beside me) about what should be for dinner... I said soft pretzels, but she refuses. But hey, let's see where this timer killer takes us!
