Moooore Paint

So I'm at work with Chris and we're helping the small handfuls of customers coming through the front door. Working at a paint store is complicated, especially Sherwin-Williams, and let me explain why. People have no idea what the hell they're looking for *and* don't want to take the time to research and/or listen to what we're saying. On a side note, just for clarification, no employees that work at the Sherwin-Williams Company Paint Stores get any sort of commission! We get nothing from selling you something that is more expensive and we get nothing for adding anything to your order. We recommend what as recommend because we believe it's the best product for what you're working on. With that said... please don't "ask Sherwin-Williams" where babies comrade from, if your breath stinks, if people like you, and anything else that our clever, clever marketers thought was funny to advertise! We are here for you and your painting needs and if you think we may have heard it before, we probably have.

Now... asking us for help with colors, product advice, explanations on how to do your project thoroughly and correctly is completely understandable AND wanted. I just thought I would pass this information along because I'm tired of being asked a question and then being bitched at because of my answer.

School is going great! Drew and I started Spanish yesterday and while we both honestly have no desire to actually be in the classes, he is going to graduate soon and that's all that matters to me! My biology class is exciting and my algebra class makes me want to cry a little bit, but math is math and the teacher is surprisingly nice.

Yay for being a med student!
