So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My codgerness was having a conversation with the high school grocery store clerk about the new ban on plastic bags. I worked when we switched from paper TO plastic. I kind of wonder if they will re-introduce baggers. We had "bagboys" who bagged the order while we were ringing, before the "scan and bag" plastic days. Or we would bag for each other if there were only a few customers. I say "bagboys" because that is what we called them, but it practice, they were two very elderly men most of the time.

Monkey paw version: it's the irksome UK Edition one.

And there's the inexplicable reason I felt no urge to pipe up and stake a claim!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One side benefit of my job: since I'm shopping a whole lot, I'm collecting tons of the Monopoly game cards from the supermarkets and faithfully plugging them into the slots on the game board. Since I'm pretty sure the "game" is rigged so that you have to collect dozens of pieces to find rare ones, I figure that I might just have a chance in hell of getting even one of the lower-level prizes.

Ooh, Theo, are you going to multiple stores? I figure THAT's the only way to win anything.

Speaking of jobs--a position opened up in the ASD program in the transition (18-26 year olds) program and I got it! I worked there last year as a sub and LOVED it, so I'm glad to be going back. I've definitely enjoyed being with the littles, but will not miss changing pull-ups and standing around in 30-degree weather at recess. I start as soon as we get back from the cruise.

Awesome, Scrappy!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have an in-person interview from the NDA place on Monday. Two interviews, actually. They want me to bring writing samples showing GUI documentation. Guess what? Anything from last job is protected by an NDA.

Sigh.

And they must have 3 references. Right now. With phone numbers.
