I’ve had a deep-in-thought day…
One thing that one of the managers said to me before I quit/was forced to quit was something to the effect of, “I know you’ve been through a lot in your short life, and I understand what it’s like to go through that”.
I just wanted to smack her and scream, NO [...]
Lately I’ve been really wishing for some of these neat old games I had when I was a kid. One of my favorites was called the Gold Rush and followed an 1849 pioneer during the California Gold Rush as he traveled to California in search of gold. It was remarkably historically accurate but also a [...]
It is Sunday. It is a good Sunday but still, I want to be lazy!
So far I have managed to go to the gym today (yay for me!) which was really good because I did NOT feel like going to the gym! But once I got moving, I remembered why I was starting to like [...]
Ain’t this boo-ti-ful? This gorgeous tree is a Thomas Kinkade Christmas crystal holiday tree sold by Collectibles today. It consists of a couple of parts: First of all, there is an INCREDIBLY delicate, hand-painted Christmas tree. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Be warned that you should handle this carefully! It’s very delicate but also [...]
My pastor and his family have a home security monitoring system. It’s pretty neat- set it and forget it. It’s also very handy since they have a doggy door for their black lab, which of course poses a certain amount of risk.
We don’t have one, but I see a lot of logic in home security [...]
After all the work I did in the gift department at that store, I saw a bundle of stuff that is just… junk. I’ve spent so much time cleaning out all the stuff I’ve acquired over the years- and I’m only 26! So I don’t see much point in gifts that are not somehow useful. [...]
This one will be quick, because it is late and there are still plenty of things to do to get ready for thanksgiving.
I quit my job today. I wasn’t scheduled to go in, but after last night I knew that it just wasn’t worth it. I was paid $7.50 an hour, and it just wasn’t [...]
I had to blog today. It’s just a very bloggable day.
Today was NOT a good day. It started off rough- I had a LOT of trouble getting out of bed! I was/am just SOOO tired.
So I go to work and the first couple of hours were ok, but then they had me doing more of [...]
As this store where I’m working has been built, it has been interesting to watch the technologies that the contractor is using.
He is using a lot of local companies and local products. He is also building in as much financial savings as possible- saving money everywhere imaginable. He’s even got some neat toilets that save [...]
Like many people, I use my cell phone for my alarm clock. A few weeks ago, I download some classic rock ring tones to use as alarm clock tones.
One of those is a song by Pat Benatar called “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”. (you know- “hit me with your best shot, come on and [...]
