Today was actually a fun day at work, and those I admit, are few and far between. We were busy, which is the way I like it, and when 330 rolled around and the afternoon manager said I could go, I said nope, I stayed till 4 and would've stayed later if they wouldn't have told me to get going. . Yep, today they actually had to tell me two or three times that I could leave.

I don't know, for some reason I was all wound up today and just having a good time. Maybe it was because for the first time in a long time, I was asked to take the trash out--call me crazy but I jumped at the chance, even though it was only 15 minutes outside, it was 15 minutes that I didn't have be inside sweating. Apparently they've turned the heat up because customers had been complaining that it was too chilly in the store--well, that's all well and good, except when you change one thermostat, they all change, so setting them to 70 or so to make customers happy, set all the thermostats to that temp--now I work back on grill where its hotter than that on any given day, so add another 70 degrees to it and you'll know why the grill crew gets cranky

Its a nice quiet Friday night, both of my boys are staying the night with friends; and my mom--who'd said she running to the bank--(that was 4 hours ago) or so, isn't home. So, the plans I had for running out to wal-mart are put on hold because she took my paycheck to cash it for me---I don't use banks--just prepaid credit cards and cash and money orders. Why don't I use banks? Well, let's see--the last account I had became overdrawn by almost $300; NOT because of me, but because of UNDER THE LIMIT fees that the bank charged. At the time I was out of work, I had called them 5 or 6 times and explained this to them and nothing ever got done, however, every letter I received from them said "Call customer service and we will work with you." Well, to me that was a bold-faced lie. I've tried to open an account since and that once came up on their report--the reason given: ACCOUNT ABUSE! I was steamed and I made one final call to the customer service department, they talked about arranging to make payments and I said "Sure, when you take that balance all the way back down to what it was when I made the first phone call telling you that I was unemployed and wanted the account closed!" The guy on the other end said they had no record of the calls or the confirmation numbers I was given, so I said "Fine, then you can stand in line with anyone else that I owe money too." and I hung up the phone.

Speak of the devil....mom just got home!

Wow, did I get off track with that one...oops! I'm kind of worried because my mom isn't home yet, she's been really down and depressed since she's been laid off and since she was told by her doctor that she had to go and get a stress test done. I told her she could have half of my check, which was more than I'd expected it to be. She's also a bit pissed because my caseworker hasn't called regarding the food stamps--yes, I get partial assistance due to being divorced and having kids. And to tell ya the truth, I'm getting kinda pissed of myself. I can understand that she's new and everything, but she sucks at returning calls.

Well I suppose I'm going to go, I'm going to order a stromboli or something for dinner because I just don't feel like cooking.
Have a wonderful evening.
Hugs & Bright Blessings
