Apples and Oranges

By Anitsirk

Not one of ours. 
While I was emptying the rest of the pots with soil, I took some sneaky photos of the Parks' plants. This one was really beautiful. I have no idea where it'll be replanted. I also took some background shot for instagram among the Parks' plants. The Greenhouse closes at 11 tomorrow, and it's a holiday on Thursday, so I needed to get that information out in our instagram feed. And I had customers asking questions and sometimes I was just winging it... :D I also had to tell 3 coworkers to talk quieter,, because the customers needed to hear themselves, and I needed to hear the customers. They didn't become cross or anything, just understood and talked in a more hushed tone after that.
Then I was almost on my way to my first sword practice and with so many new Park personell outside G3 doing replanting, I told my friend jokingly, to tell them that I'm not dangerous... He joked to and thought it would be good to have a red flashing light outside G3, to indicate that I was in there. Mmm... well... not sure about that one, but it gave me a laugh anyway.
I had 2 customers needing a lot of help just before I went to change my clothes, so I was a bit late, but I got some work out done. It was a bit difficult, because the construction people who normally are just two and used to me and my steel sword, where suddenly five and three of them were rather interested in what I was doing. A bit distracting and I felt off... Then the other bunch outside... So I felt boxed in, even if the other bunch didn't stare as the construction guys did. The second practice was much better, giving me shaking arms afterwards. :) 
I also had a difficult customer... or, she's a difficult one... she says she's one of our best customers, but I don't agree with that. She's very peculiar...and fussy, and wants a discount... and just keeps talking... I just ah and um... Today she was first buying honey, then she asked me if she should go and look at the flowers too, after asking me if we had any veggies yet (Sweden and a cold May, so that's a big fat No to that one... I was polite, though...). I told her she could do what she wanted to do, so she went and looked at the flowers. Came back with one Geranium saying it has such a beautiful flowers and the others weren't as beautiful but there was only one left... and wanted me to answer something magical to that (like I have one more just for you, or something... Yes, I'm evil...). It turned out, there were several more of that kind, just not with flowers yet! So I told her to get one more and it'll blossom in the same colours as the one she had... Duh! So she did... and then she asked if there was a discount and I said No. 
I did, however, have one of my fav customers coming in. He and his wife are such nice people, so naturally I was laughing a lot.  And they have a black labrador I cuddle with as soon as I see her. I'm allergic, but sometimes I make an exception. 
Off to bed now... so I'll check your journals for the past days, tomorrow instead... 
Oh, and my steps count today was over 14 200, so that's good too. :)
