sometimes, work involves (valentines edition) :
we sold out of a lot of stuff yaaay 🎉
selling things involves dealing with customers... yaaay...... NO UH it's fine, no one (that I saw/heard about) was mean this year. which is really nice! no yelling in the shop except excitedly about silly things!!! 🎉
the florists do enjoy the knife valentine. nice.
the newer office lady brought a box of donuts and coffee to the snacks pile (next to my work station) going 'these were brought in by... A Guy.'
and we were all like, oh. a guy. alright. thanks, guy.
it was the floral shop manager's future son-in-law lmao. most of us know him by name. new office lady does not. I woulda gone up to wave hi!
DJ brought in a box of bud vase boxes, and literally the moment I cut it open, I started sneezing nonstop. for like 5 entire minutes. it stopped as suddenly as it started. ???
M the office lady walked down to the wrapping station, got my attention, then flicked me (gently) with a rubberband. said 'Ro said to say that that's from her.'
so I yelled up the length of the back workroom up the stairs to her. 'YOU'RE OUTSOURCING YOUR VIOLENCE NOW??'
'YES! :)'
they did this a few more times. thing is, Ro was busier than me, so I could spare a moment to actually run over to the bottom of the stairs with the rubberband to fire back with more force. she did get me directly a couple times. namely on the ear AGAIN...
a guy came in with a funny long scarf and it turns out he's a preacherman. the floral shop manager made some comment about it being the ashes day, and he literally pulled a thing of it out of his pocket?? and she and a few other coworkers came over to get dirt put on their faces on purpose while the rest of us were like... awkwardly still working and sharing Looks. the dirt stays on all day...? christians are weird.
THE SUN CAME OUT and I caught up on wrapping stuff for delivery, so I took it an excuse to putz around out in the greenhouses for a bit. helped a couple customers but mostly just checked on plants. the Anacampseros rufescens seeds have germinated. :D
also some of the fern 288 trays have leaves on them now. most of each tray is still covered by the uhhh fern larvae. reeks of algae like a slow creek. it reminds me fondly of fishing, but makes one coworker super nauseous. odd to find someone more grossed out by a smell than me. and it's a shame bc it means she can't get her face real close to see the funny little slimes. u_u
