Just Call Me Mrs. Robinson.
I have my reasons. First off, I am still alive, though dead for various reasons from work. It has been an interesting and busy two weeks- we lost the store manager and the assistant store manager within a week of each other (One was not by choice...actually both were not by choice, as the SM transferred to a new store out of state and the ASM was either sacked or quit- I don't have the details on that). So we are short a manager, but we have a new store manager- a female who takes no bullshit as far as I can tell. I don't have any issues with her at all. I was always of the mind that if you did your work no one had a reason to be on your back, and the older one gets the more that is true.
As for the ETML, I don't know how he feels. I am not around him much these days, as he has me scheduled for 10 hours over the next 2 weeks. (Say it now- he's a prick- it's not news to me.) But you know what? It's all good. This week's check was the largest I've had in weeks thanks to the bookfloor, and next weeks' will be the same. If I was trying to scrape by in Music, I'd have gas money and that's it. But it's slowly coming back to bite him on the rear, and it's well deserved. Karma is a mofo. His protegee is complaining she doesn't get enough hours (as if 32 hours week ain't enough), so there you go. I tolerate her, but you know- I am not a vocal complainer, so people who are make my teeth itch terribly. And it's about EVERYTHING. *sigh* I guess that's just some people's quirk.
As for other aspects of work.....my sweet young crush worked his last shift tonight, as he is off on Sunday to school in Boston (he's going to Emerson, dazzababe) to study Journalism and Publishing. I know it's bad to admit and say, but I was rather happy with this crush. Besides, he was always very sweet to me and that was a plus. So I gave him a couple of going away gifts: the second Franz cd, 'Violator' and 'Catching Up with Depeche Mode' by Depeche and Duran's 'Greatest' and 'MTV:The first 1000 Years- New Wave', along with a 'Rough Guide to Playlists' book for his iPod. He was a little miffed at all my gifts but I told him it was what friends did for each other. (Okay, and the fact I liked him heavily played into it.) It's not like I haven't done it before. So...yeah.....
But this is the kicker. One pretty boy leaves.....another one arrives. Same age and all. Cute as all hell. Lovely voice. Extensively easy on the eyes. And just an adorable comic geek. Instant crush material. It's really sad that I am this easy even at my age. And what makes it worse is that he *loves* to flirt. (And I am weak for flirts.) Lord help a sista, if ya can.
*****************************
On a slightly similiar but not quite note, since my birthday....in fact for a few months now, I have noticed serious changes in my hormones. Not hot flashes, mind, just a serious upswing in the hormones that make me more susceptable to being madly...err.....horny. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Not to mention my dreams have been known to get seriously sweaty and all too realitically intense as of late.
Then again, maybe I am just hitting my pervert stage of life. The older pervert stage that is.

In other news, I lost 5 pounds. And didn't even try. So go me. :)
I still haven't written yet- yikes! Must do that before Sunday, I am being bad about that and it's not good.
I'll try to post a bit better in the coming days, I am just getting back into the swing of things with work and life.
