So my job for the summer is as assistant curator of a museum.
I do tours (not really, the volunteers usually do that. Leaving me with)
Sweep
Mop
Clean Toilets
etc
But mostly I watch the gift shop. I do stock, inventory, convince people to buy stuff, let the kids play with the toys so that there parents will by it for them...
The thing is we have books at work. Not many people stop by, so i need to entertain myself for a good chunk of the day. I mean, a girl can only scrub the toilet so many times.
There is this one book that we have for sale. It looks really great. For the first two weeks of work I had no money.
I got paid Sunday, but I left my wallet at home on Wednesday. (We aren't open on Monday and Tuesday).
Today I remember my debit card. I got a spare moment so I grabbed the book. I quickly filled out the order in my sales book, then i went to swipe my debit.
The machine tells me to press "Cancel". When I do this i get this weird numeric code that starts with "FE". I call the company for troubleshooting, the woman tells me to unplug the machine. I do this, we wait, and I plug it back in. There is a different "FE" message, and she puts me on hold.
She comes back and tells me our new debit machine will arrive by courier Wednesday morning. I kind of stand stunned for a moment and she says the words I'd feared.
"You're current machine is completely fried!"
I just want the book >.<
