My boss should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque, Home Depot.
He said to me, "I'm going to pop over to Home Depot."
I said "Okay."

He left his lights and his computer on. That was SIX HOURS ago. :o

1. Sooooooooooo many screws available.
It's really hard to decide. Please be gentle and give him another six hours!

Oh, and turn of his lights. And computer. If he get's annoyed with his Dremel, you can turn it back on. Not before Monday, though.

4. I'm thinking lights off and computer on. Poor guy.
Last time I went in there I stayed close to the walls of the store. Didn't venture too far into open space.

5. Maybe he's tunnelling his way back,
dig, move dirt, pay for bag, dispose, buy new 2x4s and plywood to hold up the newly dug tunnel, another 10 foot extension cord and drop light

repeat

21. I hope he's not playing Russian Roulette-
where else am I going to find a reccommendation? I should ask Christopher Walken how these things are done. He may have some handy tips for me. Or Tim Robbins.

10. I despise Home Depot as much as I do Wal-Mart
Edited on Fri Apr-21-06 03:56 PM by DaveTheWave
I've got a nice, tiny little, Ace Hardware/Halls Nursery store that never has anything but it's only one mile from my house, on a back road and I refuse to shop elsewhere.

22. He's a no-show. We had to lock up without him.
And so I'm going to scan the Hillsborough papers thoroughly...or not. ;-)

28. I think so. He was oh-so-vague about when he would return.
:D But by "pop by" I thought he meant a short stay. Like, "I'm going to 'jump' in the shower". :hi: :pals: :yourock:

31. Yes, I know!

We'll just keep you that way too. I'll bend your ear with stories for 7000 miles.
Only ~ promise me you won't pee your pants laughing. I've got leather seats.

OR were you laughing about my hour shower?

16. No dear, he didn't say "Home Depot"
He said "Hookers and Blow".

Easy enough mistake to make. ;)

27. Why on earth? Other than he doesn't want to lose you in the labrynth?
That's why I'd keep a hold of you! Maybe he's just scared. :cry:

Your boss is now in a crate on a tramp steamer headed for Shanghai.

34. Then I really wish they'd send me a few of those Chinese slaves!
I'm about ready to mark down a crowbar, put it in a shotgun envelope, address it to the Atlanta Store Support Center, and write "use this to pull your head out of your ass."

Personnel says we can't hire any new people this year unless we have sales to support them BEFORE we hire them.

The reason we're not getting the sales we need to justify the new people is that we don't have enough associates on the floor to help customers.

One of the managers, who THOUGHT we were under the old staffing edict (hire enough people to make plan), told me he thought the reason we weren't getting new hires is that everyone was failing the drug test. I told him that I really didn't care if the guy robs gas stations on his days off and smokes weed on the clock, all I needed was someone to spot me during lift truck operations. He said he'd look into it.

36. hahahaha! Home Depot must have some good deals going on.
:hi: I kid you not, on Easter Sunday, MrG stood up from the table and said,"I'm going to run out for some cigarettes..." and a chill ran through me. ;) :hug:
