Yeah, it's been bugging me but I knew that I had to get confirmation that it was incorrect before I just changed it. Otherwise it'd just end up going back to the way it currently is. In fact, I called yesterday and told one of my co-workers that it needed to be changed. Her reply? "You'll have to take that up with Jean because she's the one that put it up there like that." *bangs head on desk* She's our MANAGER, not a grammar expert, so obviously it's incorrect no matter who put it up that way! But when I go in tonight, I'm correcting it and explaining to my manager why I changed it. Some of the spelling mistakes I've seen her leave in notes just make by head hurt. She laughs that I always change her notes on the white board. I usually have things that I need to add to the board, too, so I just rewrite it so that there is space to add my stuff, but half the time I just come up with something to add so that I don't have to tell her "your spelling is atrocious, I needed to correct it so it didn't kill any more brain cells!" At least those notes are out of the view of the general public. Because, seriously, if I walk in to a place that I'm having anything medical done and see signs with glaring misspellings or bad grammar it really makes me think twice about trusting the doctor. And Dr. Russell is very good. It's not her fault that the staff is, well, challenged! And I seriously doubt she's even noticed the way her name is displayed on the board. At least, I hope she hasn't and isn't just letting it go on that way because she's afraid to say something.

SO glad that I only have two shifts left there! Three hours tonight and eight hours on Tuesday. Then I don't have to say, "I work at Wal-Mart."
