... and into the Light

I started playing around at work again. It makes the day more interesting.
Telling a patron she could only do exchange at Theresa's window (while the rest of us stood around doing nothing) was pretty funny. Theresa shot me dirty looks for the rest of the day and wouldn't talk to me... it was great! I have nothing against Theresa, I just was being a pain in the butt! Mind you, Theresa called me something much worse... hehehe.

Then another patron asked me to throw something out for him. His buddy in the line hollered "What did you just hand her?" I hollered back "Your phone number!" I think the patron I was serving wanted to high five me for 'burning' his friend. One of the other guys in the line commented on my quickness... I was very surprised my supervisor didn't comment on that one... but it was very funny too!

I spent the rest of my shift bugging my friend Josh, and hen Trevor came in... all in all yesterday was a great day. I hope today is the same... Work is so much more fun when there are people around to play with! Even for 5 seconds at a time!

You should try it!

I know, I know... shoot me... but better late than never right.

Good Luck!

So sorry for my lack of communication.
It seems working and this lovely weather we have been experiencing have taking me away from the indoors and the computer more than anticipated...
so less time indoors means less time on the computer, so less blogging.

I have been writing - just in my journal instead. It has been more convenient. My computer is acting up lately too... I think it is about to join my other possessions in the junk pile soon... about to exceed its life expectency I'm afraid.

Work is good. Glad to be back. It is more tiring than I expected. Keeping in touch with friends, and family after work IRL has become a priority, as I have returned to the "Real World". I feel as though I have returned to the land of the living and want to stay there. I enjoy my quiet time away from work, reading, vegging in front of the TV or chatting with friends. Sometimes I even talk to J...

Needless to say I have been busy. Lots going on.
Too much in fact. But I am OK.

I know they are late too...
Work is interrupting my life!
