Pix, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Steph I'm fashion imparied too so I don't have any advice to give.

Today was brutal at work, we had to do a training that was useful. But it ran from 9-11, or it was supposed to. The store opened at 11, the training started late. It ended when they opend the doors - so almost everyone in Home Theater and Computers was scrambling to get to our departments and it was one of those days when everyone just streams in.

It got better. It got better by these two amazing women who came in and cracked me up, they were ready to kidnap me off for lunch by the end of the transaction. One of the was a Justice of the Peace and said she had spent X number of years doing for others, so she had a business she was getting going and she was going to do something nice for herself. Nice translated to the top line Macbook Pro. Her friend ended up getting an iMac and there was some bickering (friendly) of "you're supposed to support me! Not buy for yourself!" And they both kept saying Fuck "I had this fucking Dell, damn, I need to watch my language. That thing is horrible, I got it for free and I'm going to throw it out of hte fucking - " Clasps her hands over her mouth - "Shit! I'm not supposed to say that. " and her friend was like "This is why we got kicked out of the Senior Center."

Apparently they got too enthuastic and profane with their trash talking during Mah jong and were asked not to come back.

When Iw as ringing them up they kept saying "Come to lunch iwht us!" I told them I couldn't, so thye were going to tell my supervisor they wouldn't buy anything unless they got to have lunch with me. But the transactions were done so it was like "Fire her so she can spend the rest of the day with us and then hire her back."

It was just what I needed during the day that was long and tiring but that is why I like working on the sales floor. You get this great connection with customers. Sometimes they are jerks but a lot of them are really nice.

The woman who was the Justice of the Peace, I have to talk to Will. I need to tell him, if we get married in Vermont she's a contender for performing the ceremony.

Hey, I guessed right on the black hose! Yay!

That is 100% awesome.

I think nude hose have made a resurgence, what with Duchess Kate and all. However, white hose are never the answe unless you are a nurse. And most of them don't have to wear anything like that anymore, so only if you are in a nurse costume, really.

askye, those customers sound so ridiculously fun! I aspire to be just such an old woman someday.

I am now entertaining myself greatly by imagining askye & Will's marriage being solemnized in a bout of the saltiest language and much joie de vivre.

I survived the procedure that killed Joan Rivers and the drug that killed Michael Jackson! I need to sell my story to the tabloids.

I have an ulcer.

They neglected to mention how much my throat would hurt afterwards. I'm taking a pain pill and seeing if I can resume my interrupted sleep.

Ginger, sorry about the ulcer. What can they do for it?

Well an ulcer does indeed explain stuff. I hope they are able to treat it well and quickly.

The universe likes you more than them.

You know, I realize that my pain levels aren't that bad since I got my Tramadol supply cut off - usually running about 5 on the 1-10 scale - but it sure is a hassle. Cut my effectiveness noticeably. (The pharmacy won't give me more until I've seen a doctor who will prescribe more ... and the first appointment I could get was October 31. Trick? for a treat?) It's my back ... last week I had to ask someone (young and strong) to pick up a box with two reams of paper from the floor because I tried and sort of ... stuck.
