Hard not to laugh. A couple of weeks ago Coca Cola sold distribution rights of Rockstar (an energy drink) to Pepsi. Our warehouse was told to sell all remaining Rockstar to stores and to fill them up. This last Monday was the first day that Pepsi took over distribution and I was told to give all Rockstar back stock to Pepsi. I start very early in the mourning so the Pepsi merchandiser never saw me put 10 plus cases on his pallets of back stock at my first store. At my second store the Pepsi guy was in the back room.
"Where do you want this Rockstar" I asked him.
"What I can't get that till Wednesday" he replied.
"But I have back stock of it and it's not ours any more so you get it"
"What, I don't have room for that....Goddamn it......fine put it there" he said pointing at a cart that had his 20oz. bottles in it.
That was not the whole conversation due to language. So I gave him 10 to 15 cases of Rockstar. At my third store I was stopped by the Pepsi merchandiser and his boss of all people. I know these guys and when the conversation started I knew exactly what they were going to say and it was hard not to laugh at them. We had 20 plus cases of Rockstar (store goes through 3 cases a week maybe) for them. Let's just say they were not happy with me but it was not my fault I didn't order that stuff. This was business and I know that they would have done the same to us if the roles had been reversed.
On a normal week the Pepsi dude at my third store bugs me, saying smart remarks and just getting on my nerves. He talks like he is better then me, but this week he didn't say more the two words to me. It felt good in a weird way.
Everything else was good, I guess, this week. Got ahead in homework so I was able to play video games more then usual. Don't think it will happen this week because on top on normal homework I have to hand in a summary for my finial projects in two of my classes. Had a hard time falling asleep all week, would lay down and toss and turn for what would seem like hours then my alarm would go off and I would wake up. When did I fall asleep? How much sleep did I get?
That's life I guess
