My Day at WORK

It only happens to me. ME ME ME.

On Thursday I walked in to see Joe, Our district manager in our area. OK I like Joe he is a regular "Joe"
I  talked to him and was ready and raring to get to the sales floor.
Chrystal said, "What is our sales goal?" I quickly responded $861." She said, "I will go with that but it is actually 761. Whew I wiped my forehead and said, "Oh Man I was worried about that one."

My sign showed I was handling Merlot, Cheese from Wisconsin, (The Grand Prize winner of the Prestigious Cheese Society award)  and a Definwah cheese from France.
Not a problem. I am trying to set up and Joe is asking, "So mam when can I sample your product?"
You are kidding me, I just got here, But I smiled and said, "As soon as I can get it cut out of  the package and on a tray"
"Well I have waited a long time already." I apologized and told him to come back in a few minutes and it would be ready and since he had waited so long, (probably 4 minutes) He could have an extra piece."
He finally walked away. (BTW he was kidding me)
So as I work I want to smell the Merlot cheese, It is amazing. It  is the Grand Prize winner. I sniff the rind.
Yep it smells great.
Later Gary comes over, "Sue you have a little cheese on your upper lip" I quickly wipe it away and am so embarrassed. I tell him, "Gary I did not eat it, I was sniffing it"
He cracked up, He said, "Sue you cant get high sniffing wine"

Later he walked back over, He said, "Sue you have a little dry skin on the end of your nose"
I quickly retorted , as southern as I could. "Oh No its not a BOOGER is it?"
Again he cracked up, from my sense of humor.
He said, They way you say Booger is so funny.
Of course I told him, "I should have put some cream on it, spread a little Vaseline on it," 
(To the tune of Beyonce's ( "Should have put a ring on it" )
He is fun to work with, He is just a kid, well he is in his 30's I think. I am sure he is younger than any of my children.
Nice guy to work with.  He believes in Laughter.
As I do.

So how did the cheese go? I sold out by 3, o'clock. I  was scheduled until 5:45. Oh well, at least I sold OUT.
I look for selling points, as in Grand Prize  Cheese made in Wisconsin.
The other cheese, was Edible rind, Full of garlic and herbs.
Once it is gone, It is gone,  We may NOT have it again before the holidays.
Customers were grabbing and running for one of a kind cheese.
I even wanted the Merlot cheese, but it was all  gone before I got off.
