Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Random question for hivemind help - I am thinking of making my front yard into a labyrinth using two colors of mulch, one for the path and one for the "background" where I will eventually also plant. I can't decide what colors of mulch to use - the choices are black, red, and brown. Any thoughts?

Never mind, I think I decided.

Our wings are not tired.

Any thoughts?

I'm not a fan of the red so I would black for path and brown for planted areas.

Thrive to spite them

Fucking hell I had a woman trying to pick a fight with us over our mask policy we don't enforce. She was pissed we had one. She's pissed Wal Mart has one. She is a RN and she and the Drs she works with know his is no big deal. She is organizing a protest of Wal Mart....on and on.

And this morning we were told for our safety we cannot approach customers about our mask policy OR our no trying on policy.

I didn't approach that customer she kind of sought me out.

Oh and they are serious about employees wearing masks. Corporate is checking the security cameras to make sure and yesterday our store manager got a call about 3 employees that weren't in compliance.

The information we are given at the morning meeting is our verbal warning. If we are seen without a mask after tomorrow's meeting we will be written up and a second time is immediate termination.

Yikes, askye. About the woman.

I decided to go with red for the background and black for the path, Laura. All the trim on my house is red, so I think it might work. I ordered 5 bags of each to be delivered tomorrow, so if I hate it once I see it on the ground I can revise.

In more fun news, my sister and I saw the comet tonight. Clear mountain skies = visible comet. Woot! Next time I'll bring binoculars, but it still was obvious.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, that's excellent. Skies being what they are around here (hazy seacoast) my chances are slim.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There are several reasons why I don't enjoy waking up unwillingly at 6AM, but one of them is that nothing is happening on the internet.
