Did I say that our Outlet Sale that has always started 1 week after Thanksgiving is going to start in October this year? It'll make some things easier internally (getting our inventory back into order before the end of the year for one thing, and having the revenue hit earlier will probably be a good thing) but feels deeply weird. The weather will be completely different! I won't know how to dress - we're also back in the warehouse after two years of renting the old Walmart and having heat so my instinct is to bundle up but that probably won't be necessary. Or will it? I don't know! All my experience both working the sale and coming as a customer before I got hired is out the window for this crucial question. If it's actually hot I will be at a total loss.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Layers, -t! Light layers!
I was freed from that and went to filling orders. And discovered I needed to leave 37 mins early to avoid going over 40 hours instead of the 30 mins.
I did have an nice conversation with a woman who was looking at thr Chriatmas stuff and asking ⁰ buy online pick up instore worked. She is just learning to text and she told me about her grand daughter who is in high school and is an artist. So that was nice.
Aw, that does sound like a nice conversation.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday lisah!
Aw, sweet, askye.
It was a highlight of my day.
Which was my dad's birthday and I forgot. Except to call him at 10 pm. I also lost track of mom's and my nephew's and other important dates this month.
And I can't sleep. I am probably drinking too much caffeine at night. I didn't used to have this problem but maybe my tolerance for caffeine is changing.
Early this morning I had a classic "unprepared for class" anxiety dream. Why, brain, why?
I think I was BS-ing my way through it fairly successfully, but then the school flooded and we had to wade out into the streets and swim home.
Why, brain, why?
Sheesh, dcp brain, do better!
Sorry about the insomnia, askye. I had to give up caffeine other than in the morning long ago, and now am on decaf only. At least I feel less bad about the quantity of coffee I drink in the morning! I did a 50/50 blend for however long 2 bags of coffee lasted me, then went decaf.
Poor DH really screwed up his back. He's been in pain for 2-3 days, but getting worse rather than better. I hope to get him to go to a chiro today. Asking around for recommendations since we are in NY. Also, I actually worked myself into a sweat trying to get his socks on for him. I don't know how he manages it. His feet and legs are stupid big. Looking at getting extra wide socks because his have to cut off circulation.
Laura, I use heat patches for when my back's worse than usual. I make sure to get the ones that actually heat rather than relying on capsicum to create the feeling of heat. There are also pain relief patches, which I haven't tried. Yet. I'm suggesting them as an interim solution until you get him to a chiro or someone.
And in re socks, I was once staying with my mother and sister right after sister had her first knee replacement surgery and she needed my help to get her surgical compression socks on. Those were also hard to pull on, since pulling too hard hurt her. I guess my tickling her foot didn't help either ....
