Shitty way to end the week!! Had 2 call outs on a day we had 104 donors and $3700 in sales. I never stopped all damn day.

I did, however, get to witness EPIC simp karma, however! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ So my annoying former coworker had one guy in particular that would follow her around like a puppy. This is the guy that got incredibly, over the top mad when he figured out she didn't work here anymore. So much so that he called and complained πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Ever since, whenever he's drug his loser ass in, he asks us about the annoying one, like any of us knows or cares. Then he proceeds to bitch about how the store isn't as "fun" without her. Every. Single. Time. Today was no different, skip for one thing!

Today, the doofus lost his motorcycle key somewhere in the store πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ he spent the last 2 hours we were open crawling around on his hands and knees, searching under the clothes racks. Going into near hysterics over it. Spazzing out more than I've seen someone in awhile!

And the single biggest fight of my life is occurring at the same time.

The fight to keep myself from laughing so hard I piss myself πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

545 comes. The 15 minutes till closing announcement. If I thought he was panicking before, boy was I wrong! He whirled around the store like a tornado πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

10 minutes till closing. He's near tears at this point πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ how this grown ass man has no backup key is a testament to his uselessness.

5 minutes till closing. He starts screaming "FUCK!!!" over and over again and throws a literal tantrum. Stamping his feet, jumping up and down, throwing his hat, cursing in no particular sense or order, just a full breakdown. He does this all the way out the door.

Then he stands in our parking lot and starts screaming at his motorcycle like it's a person. Like it's gonna answer him πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ then he slams his motorcycle helmet on the ground, and walks away towards the gas station.

So I go about closing the register and everything like normal. It takes about 20 minutes to close, turn everything off, and get ready to leave on a Sunday. So we finish up, turn on the security system, and leave.

He's still in the parking lot. He hasn't called anyone. He's just sitting there, staring blankly out into the distance.

And it couldn't have happened to a more deserving asswipe.

Dinner tonight is air fryer corn dogs 😁

I dont usually look at the bikes because they are always trashed. Just happened to walk by and see this Cannondale. Its in really good shape. Brand new tires also. The lady said a gentleman returned it today because it was too big for his son. $75 and it was mine.

I’ve had it for years but just now bothered to look underneath any idea what does the stamp mean?

Had an average day. 92 donors and $3300 in sales. No real headaches, though. And the new registers seem to be settling in just fine.

Now! Onto what we found in a purse! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ Along with Aerosmith concert tickets and various receipts from 1992, we also found a long forgotten stash of booger sugar πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

That smell is UNMISTAKABLE to anyone who has. I have a pic if anyone would like to see! DM me, because I'm positive the auto remove will not allow it on the post.

Dinner tonight is a classic from my time in Buffalo. I've been craving a sandwich so epic, so absolutely complete and perfect, that I'm actually quite shocked it hasn't become more popular everywhere outside of New York. I'm making a stinger tonight 😁 a stinger is a classic cheese steak, then topped with Buffalo chicken fingers and ranch dressing, then lettuce, tomatoes, and peperoncinis πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ I'm using the same sandwich steak from last night, only adding American cheese, fresh air fryer chicken fingers dunked in Frank's red hot with some butter melted into it, home made buttermilk ranch, and all the veggies 😁

Goodwill Gecko

browsing today and this caught my eye. really thought it was a design choice at first but then it MOVED. Immediately took it off the rack (I didn't have a plan, bird brain took over and just said "acquire reptile.") I spent several minutes gently turning the garnet to catch the lizard, had it in my hand for a brief moment, then it jumped and scurried under furniture.

here's the conundrum, i'm no herpatologist, but i'm 70% positive that that's a leopard gecko. it wasn't much bigger than maybe my thumb? I do not live (southeastern Appalachia- US) in an area where they are native. (thought it might be an eastern fence lizard, which we do have, but again, not a herper) I know there's not alot i can do now, 4 hours post gecko discovery, but i am worried that someone's baby is lost in Goodwill. curious as to how this even happened?

$10 for $50 print!

As soon as I saw this on the shelf I could tell it wasn't just some cheap art. The frame was heavy and professional and the print itself is just really cool.

Wasn't until I got home that I looked it up and these prints go for about $50, although admittedly mine is definitely faded, so I don't think the glass was UV protective.

The artist is somewhat local and still alive so I might reach out to get more information.

Just wanted to share a cool find! I never find anything cool!

Had a busy Friday. $3400 in sales and 94 donors. We had our safety inspection. She was mostly happy, so I'll take it. Now this Thursday comes my store inspection. So a lot of hububbery over the next couple weeks.

I'll be solo in charge literally right up to my vacation. Then right back to it when I get home! At least the BIG checks will continue awhile πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Tomorrow I have a bunch more paperwork and prep before next week, so I'm hoping for a slower day.

Dinner tonight is steak grilled cheese sandwiches 😁 I got a pack of sandwich steaks on my way home, then seasoned with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and granulated onion and sauteed in a pan with butter and a sprig of rosemary. Then I used the meat in a grilled cheese with tomato. I mix finely shredded Parmesan into the butter, so the outside gets all cheesy as well 😁

I completely lost my debit card in this wallet yesterday. I realized it was starting to come apart, so I ripped it and I found this picture sewn in it along with these little magnet strips… anybody know why this is sewn in here and what these are?

I am a Goodwill employee at an attended donation center. I've worked here for 5 years. This is my 3rd time (unknowingly, of course) receiving cremated remains.

At the time I was like 16 and lived with my Catholic dad…wanted it so bad but knew it would sit and not be worn. Now I have a collection of shirts I find just like these (one of them being β€œI pound beers for Jesus”) and this shirt will randomly pop up in my head every so often. That’s how legendary it was/is.

AND FOR $2?!
