So it's a friday afternoon, and the store is empty, and there hasn't been a customer in a while.
There is however news:
The worker who I like least in all the world put in his 2 weeks, and is moving to seattle, so i won't even have to deal with him in the greater community at large, which is where our animosity began.
The worker who is the friendliest put in what effectively is his 3 weeks notice, but he says he'll still come by to play.
And lastly apparently the other workers, specifically 2 that don't come as much surprise, make a habit of talking about me behind my back.
All in all i don't know what to think, but none of it comes as a big shocker.

Official Titles and Torqued Iron
I found out today when checking my newwork email account that when set up, they filled out my signiture line already.
It now reads: Dan Axe -Retail Manager
Nobody ever told me when i went from retail guy, to retail manager, but i guess it makes sense since i'm generally the only retail anything at this point, but still i never expectd an actual title, other than Baron, of course.
Also i found a railroad spike with an unusual double bend in it, either sombody forged it or a train shifted o its tracks a good 2-3 inches, there are no hammer marks, and you can't always tell with iron if it's been reheated to the point you would forge with, like you can with steel, but there are ways of bending metal with simple tongs if you get it hot.
So it's a mystery, anyways i took it home with me.

Naval Gazing
I broke open, seperated, and sorted over 1200 WW2 Warships, planes, and submarines, none of which was longer than 7 inches.
and then i had to do the same with an equal number of corresponding cards.
All by myself, excepting a couple hundred cards right at the end.
but, to be clear i'm not complaining, it just seems like an odd way to spend a Monday.

Freedom Will Set Me to Work
Holy self-Censorship Batman

I don't think it would have been an issue but i'd rather not face criticism from my readers over what is ultimately a non-issue.
In other news it's been a slow day and it's raining which i like, so i'll just have to leave on a happier note:
