Wednesday - 10-14-09, a chilly day.

For anyone reading this that isn't from central PA, I'm calling it a chilly day because we are well below the average low for the day, and they are calling for it to be well below the average high for the day. It was down in the upper 30s this morning, and I actually had frost on the back window of my car. I didn't really have to scrape it. With the rear defroster on, and letting the car warm up, it was melted before I backed out to leave.
While I was waiting at Vault to pick up money I got a phone call. It was Cathy, she had a question about jumpstarting a van. So I answered that, and still had to wait. There was some guy there cashing in $2000 in $100 dollar bills. He wanted to get it back in all 50s, but vault told him they didn't keep that much in 50s on hand. He was able to get $1000 in 50s, then just got the rest in 20s. While they were counting out his money they got my bags and got me on my way.
When I got to the foods office everyone was shocked to see me in shorts. I guess they don't remember last year. I'll wear shorts almost all the time. If it’s above freezing, I'm usually fine in shorts. Plus once in the stand it gets warm.
I got over to the stand, and set up as far as I could by 9:30, and just had to wait for Harry. He told me he would be over in a few minutes when I was in the office. He got there at about 9:45, which still gave me plenty of time to count the loan box, and be open by 10:00.
I decided that since it was so cold, and I since I usually don't get a lot of customers before 11:00 or 12:00, that I would go through the bread and do some rearranging. I found a ton that was no good, and got rid of it. There were almost 6 trays of bread that had to be gotten rid of. Then I restacked it, and rearranged the soda that's still sitting in the stand. If I would be allowed to sell it most of it would be gone already. Instead it’s sitting back in the back taking up space, and out dating. As cases of it out date, I dump them out, and get rid of the bottles.
I spent from when I was done with the bread and soda until I took my lunch break studying for the General Class Amateur radio test. While doing that I had only seen three people in the zoo that weren't part of the school group that was here. And none of them stopped by the stand. After eating lunch I went back to studying.
I had only started studying again for a few minutes when warehouse showed up with my stock. The guy from warehouse was by himself this week, so it took him a little longer to get all the stock to me. He brought it all in three loads, and by the time he got the second and third loads to me I had the previous ones away. I still hadn’t had a single customer by this point, and figured I would go back to studying again.
I was hoping not to have any customers by 1:00, then I was going to call about closing early. But of course that was messed up now. At about 12:45 I got a family that came up and ordered lunch. So with their order being about $20 I figured closing early was out.
I decided to stop studying shortly after 1:00. It was getting a little depressing. I know that for the actual test only a few questions are pulled from each section, but I like to be passing each section, and over all, before I take the test. As of now I'm only getting an overall score of about 63%. I could do better on the later sections, but I figure I 'd stop for the day.
The day stayed really slow, but that was to be expected with the colder weather. I didn't get any other customers after that first family. There were only one or two more families that came through after that, and they didn't even look at the menu.
Since Cathy had her training class, I got some stuff done around the apartment. I took out the ACs, and did some basic cleaning. I then went outside to try to get my dad on simplex with my 2 meter amateur radio. I figured we wouldn’t be able to reach each other, but we tried. Then at 9 we watched Ghost hunters, and then headed to bed…
