three lunchtime visitors

 there are some days when there are no visitors to the shop, this was not one of them. there were three around my lunchtime. my vacation replacement showed up to be briefed on anything related to my day off, and decided to break down some empty boxes on the shelf. then my boss showed up, asking about the check stock order for the month. we really did order 40 boxes, he grumbled about the price going up. i showed the packing list we were given. then the maintenance man returned to work on the inner door and get the rubber door stop replaced. there was mention of being over budget, but i didn't mark it as an emergency because it wasn't. and when my boss says to create a ticket for a repair, i do it. so needless to say, i ended up having lunch late. good thing i decided to have it in the back room of the shop as i was able to let the maintenance man in. the branch employee was not familiar with what or where the shop was, i said this is it. that is who let me know that maintenance had arrived. just one thing of note was left over, a check that will be picked up when that colleague is in the office. in the evening i ordered a ticket for the holiday lights event at the saints stadium for next month. i found out a discount code was expiring soon, so it was time to get it ordered. i got a an of warpigs from the liquor store near work so now there are six beers waiting. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard told the story of moving in to the building to penny, while he had a dispute with sheldon. it was followed by the one where raj moves in with leonard and penny, then howard and bernadette. sheldon and amy get a life sized batman statue.
