gets me every time


If you've never worked in retail you might not realize that every article of clothing has a name and that we as sales people usually have to learn the names of all of the items.  We've just started getting our new fall/winter merchandise in so I am beginning to familiarize myself with the new items and the new names.

I'm sorry, I still crack up every time I get to Poupee on my list.  I haven't seen it enough to not be shocked each time and re-read it thinking surely my eyes deceive me.  But there it is, staring me straight in the face, poupee.

Apparently "poupee" means "doll" in French which is actually a good description of the item, a pair of very structured black dress shorts.  I'd just say it's maybe a little lost in translation.

Haha I like the other cat a lot.

They're all very nice though : (

last friday night


Jon and I went to eat at Georgie's the other day before I took him to the airport to go home.  In my none wasted state I wanted to look at the high scores we had gotten on erotic photo hunt from last friday when we went out with Jon's mom, Donna, and Heather.  Apparently I kept making everyone lose by trying to help, in my defense I was looking at the screen on an angle so I was not touching what I was trying to touch.

Isn't that always the way.

We also discovered that erotic photo hunt won't let you put bad words for your name, including Uranus.  First of all, Uranus isn't even a dirty word, and shame on you for thinking that way.  Secondly, how can a game that features trashy women from the 90's with their breasts exposed have a problem with the name Uranus?  I don't support it.

I do, however, support Ben Tois.  I'm not sure what we were going for with that one but it's got a nice ring to it.  Maybe I'll introduce myself as that when I want to be french for the night.

Bonsoir, je m'appelle Bentois, je voudrais un pamplemousse.  Merci.
