If Your Boss Was Out Of The Office, What Would You Do?

Random stories for a random day. Hooray! (Say that like a horse…a command, not a suggestion.)

First, I must apologies to all the sick people in my life. I am a carrier. Short of a half day of general malaise, I have felt fine. But everywhere, from my parent’s house, my house, to work there are sick people and the only common thread is me. So, I am sorry that I made you all sick. Good luck.

Secondly, why did I leave my Christmas shopping so late? I went to Wal-Mart last night. It was just me and all of the other lame last minute shoppers. I think we are all at a point where we are just putting stuff in our carts, and sorting out who gets what later. Deicing crystals for my grandma, pastry flour for my brother and an extension for my mom. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Be honest. When I go into a store, so I always have a lost expression on my face? I use to hear my grandparents complain about how there is never anyone to help you in a store these days. If you are nodding your head in agreement. Fear not. I am your solution. It doesn’t matter what store I go into or when I go into it. Someone always asks me if I need any help finding things. Am I just approachable? Do I really look lost? Is this everyone’s problem and not just mine? Thank you, but I don’t need the help, stop asking me. Yesterday, I was at Wal-Mart, where I met up with an old friend and we started talking. We weren’t really next to anything, nor really looking or studying any items. And Mr Sales Associate Guy approaches me and askes if I needed any help. I looked over at my friend and he just shrugged. We were in the middle of a conversation, not even related to anything to do with Wal-Mart.

Also, store related, there seems to be a trend now that people have to stand abnormally close to me when I am paying for my items. Okay, here is the set up. Usually when you are waiting to pay for your items, the person in front of you stands up with the cashier, and you wait back the 3 feet with your items until they are finished and then you proceed up to the cashier. Can you see it in your mind? Well, for some unknown reason, no matter what store I am at, the next person in line, just comes and stand up with me, waiting for my transaction to be over, so that they can proceed. It is a bit unnerving, especially when you have to put in your PIN with the debit machine. What do I do? Turn around and say, do you mind?

Well, that is it for the random stories. Go out and tell a few of your own today.

A BIG happy birthday to Sarah. The big 2-0 today.

And a BIG thanks to all my RS ladies. Without you, nothing would be possible.

Love you all more everyday.
Where are you? When are you coming back? Not that I really care anymore.
