My Life Suddenly Got Complicated

OK, not as bad as it's been in the past, but I start my new job on Saturday. I have to go in for a day-long orientation. So I'll learn how to pack a grocery bag, scan items, and talk to customers. Now, I know there's an art to packing a grocery bag, but scanning items is a no brainer, and I think I know how to talk. Oh well.

HomeOwnership
A never ending project, to be sure. I'm still caulking the bathtub. I'm letting the caulk dry before I do any serious cleanup, but I have to shower somehow, so I'm going to rig something up so the caulk won't get wet. Just for a few days. Yes, I'm anal. I want to do a good job and I'm working too hard to do it. I think if I'd just slapped the crap on there and left it alone, all would be well, but I'm trying to be 'neat and pretty'. But that's the way it is. This is why I don't want to get anything started in the kitchen. I have a short attention span, and if I can't finish a project in a day or 2, I don't want to start. Refinishing furniture is totally Out of the Question. I work too hard and too seriously, but I do a good job.

Halloween
Since I've worn my RenFest outfit for the last 2 years, I'm not dressing up this year. At least I didn't think so. Now that I'm working at a grocery store, they will want the employees to dress up for the kids. I don't think they'd want a Beer wench as a cashier, so I have to think of something else. I've kicked around going as Katherine the Great, but I'll need some guy to be my horse. (<== That's an Urban Myth, she never did her horse.) or dressing up as a Panda bear and walk around with a stick of butter. ( How many times did the news announcers comment that the newly born baby panda was no bigger than a stick of butter?) But no one gets that. So maybe I'll just be B*tchy Old Lady. I don't need much of a costume for that!

More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'

I think you get to memorize what aisle everything is in too, because everytime I ask someone at the grocery store where an item is, they tell me the aisle #, and are usually right! Just keep thinking, at least now you will have some spending money.

What happened to Friday Posting???? Did you fall in a vat of caulk and could not get out??? Should we send someone over to your house to check on you?
