In honor of the birth of my great country (sorry Brits), the clearance swamp is open until 6 tonight, or for another half hour according to my computer clock. And since stepping outside is like stepping into an oven, and it's too early to light piles of exploding things on fire (everybody knows you don't shoot off fireworks until noon at the earliest), half the people in town came out to the swamp this morning and afternoon.
What did everybody want? Fans, pools and air conditioners.
What do we not have in stock, and won't be getting in stock any more? Fans, pools and air conditioners.
What is displayed right next to where I was working all day? Fans, pools and air conditioners. We're down to a couple inflatable kiddie pools and one 12,000 BTU window air conditioner.
Yeah, not a recipe for a good day. I must've taken ten calls about pools and air conditioners, in between telling my in-store customers that we no longer had pools and air conditioners to sell. Sorry, calling other stores is a no-go, because they're all out of pools and air conditioners too. I suppose we may have some left in our stores in say, Idaho or Washington, but you'd have to wait weeks for them to actually get transferred here. And if I suggested that you'd just get mad that I was insulting you or something.
One person asked me what she was supposed to do without an air conditioner. Ummm, either fight it out with 57 other people for the one 12,000 window unit we still have, or live in your refrigerator? Or set the oven to cold? I dunno.
Meh, I got two days off now. And by the clock on my computer, it's now beer thirty-nine.
