I stopped at the store on the way home today and as crappy as a day as I had (boring story), it hit me when I saw the Huntington Bank girl at the entrance of the store trying to drum up business for her bank, that her job could be the worst one I have seen in a long time. Armed with a tray of cookies, a cup full of Dum Dum suckers and pens, it is 6-8 hours of her trying to get people to bank in our grocery store. Which brought up a couple of questions in my mind:
Do people really bank in grocery stores? I can see having an ATM, but do we really need a guy/girl in a suit, with a glass office, pretending to be busy all day?
Maybe it is like a timeout for bank workers? They get sent there when they are performing poorly?
Or maybe it is like a probation period when you are first hired: "If you can make it thru 3 months of working in the glass box in the grocery store, we will move you to the bigger glass box at the real bank".
Regardless, the lovely gal who gave me the pen made me realize that my day wasn't so bad after all.
Youngest turns 9 on Saturday. All he wanted was a small party with friends and his favorite pizza and he would be happy. I love that he is so easy to please when it comes to his birthday. Lately, that has been the only easy thing about him!
Middle child is at his last basketball tryout. He didn't have to go to this one but he wanted to to make sure they knew he was serious about making the team. We should know tomorrow if he did or not. Fingers crossed he makes it because I really enjoy watching him play. Dad, you will be getting the sponsorship email shortly......
Oldest is doing well in high school and is still enjoying cross country. It is coming to a close and she has a little time off before they start practicing for track in the spring. I am relieved she found a sport she not only enjoys but is pretty good at.
Husband and I are doing well. Had a good time at his reunion and with that behind us, I have NO motivation to get in shape. Yeah..I know I said I would get into a bikini this coming summer, but it is hard to think about summer when it is chilly out. I am determined to do it, just need a little break from thinking about food and exercise all the time.
I have been working with the older substitutes this week at work and I think their elderliness is starting to rub off on me. I have all kinds of aches and pains I didn't seem to have until I started working with them and I am afraid my friends are going to start dying. Seems like every time they work, they are going to a funeral of another friend that died! I understand it is part of getting older but it is really quite depressing. We have had little interest in my old position but a couple applications have come thru. Hoping we get the position filled before the holidays.
I am looking forward to my 4 days off and am hoping to only be slightly productive tomorrow when I am home alone. But I know me, and it will be hard for me to sit still when I know I could get a lot done. I do have to get some shopping done for Youngest's birthday and we have his social skills class to go to tomorrow night, but maybe I will get some couch time in, too.
I hope you all are doing well and I thank you for your continued support of my blog.
Now me and my pj pants are heading to the couch.....
