I have a quirky sense of humour, though not quite like the unpredictable randomness that Elation has -- my last post was a shot in the dark, but I think it worked OK. ;-)

Back to the subject, this humour is finally starting to show up in my day-to-day work at Canadian Tire. I've been posting fun notes on my tasks, usually telling people not to interfere with the things I'm working on. This is the first one I used:

Do not steal this cart, under penalty of annoyance! (I can be pretty shrill when I want to be.) --Jeremy

When I had some signs I wanted to laminate:

Waiting for lamination. Discarding may result in serious injury or death.

A short while ago:

Jeremy's cart. Touching this cart will probably not cause you any harm, but why risk it?

Posted in response to someone else's note:
Promo/Charity. Please don't run away with my bugee! [sic]
But we're in love, and we're going to elope whether you like it or not! --Buggy and Jeremy

Second-most recently:

If you touch this cart, don't worry, I won't kill you. (You'll just go missing.) [winking face] --Jeremy

Thinking about it, I'm noticing a bit of an alarming trend in my notes... but perhaps worst of all was when the girl I really like found one of my more recent notes.

Jeremy: Get this box out onto the floor NOW! --Jeremy
You don't tell me what to do! --Jeremy

She laughed in a sort of "that's great, but weird" way. I didn't have time to get that box out onto the floor, though, thanks to the Christmas rush, so I added the following on Friday morning:

Why is this still here? --Jeremy
Sorry, forgot. --Jeremy

I still didn't have time to get the box out on Friday. I'm a little worried what she and/or my manager will think when they see it. ;-)
By the way, I'm moving onto the night crew starting Monday evening. Now that there's zero conflict-of-interest between her and me, since we're on opposite shifts, I'm summoning up the will to drop by on one of my days off and ask her out. I may wait until after Christmas, though, once gift cards are out of the way and the store gets into the mid-winter doldrums (so I can conveniently invite her for a coffee outside of the range of the prying ears of nearby customers and staff).

I'd keep you posted, but I don't want to. My life, my rules. ;-)
Girl? What girl?

What ever happened to Buggy? :(
Yeah, with Buggy, it was going okay, but before we tied the knot I realised that cold steel could only ever be frigid.

The breakup wasn't bad, though. She didn't say anything.
...?
I took care of the box a couple of days ago, but also took it upon myself to add this:

About time. --Jeremy
Shut up, you're scaring my co-workers. --Jeremy


Emilie laughed her ass off when she saw the empty box in the aisle. (Emilie, BTW, is not the girl I have the crush on. She's engaged, so I've already swallowed most of the crush I had for her. ;-))
lmao.
thats hillarious.
btw, now that you and buggy are through with, can I have her number? :P
Oh, she makes her way around the store. In fact, I've only ever seen her as far out as the parking lot... I wonder if she lives there.
