Save Me
Today was full of oddities at work.
First, one of my co workers was re-alphabetising the biography section. In our store, it's done by the person the book is about, rather than the author. So when she was done, she came up to me and said, "All is right in the world. Frank Sinatra, Streissand and Stalin are all together."
*blink*
Secondly, someone tried to Save me at work.
Yes. Save.
As in, take Christ into your heart and LIVE, save me.
*blink*
There I was, standing in manga and some girl came up to me and was being super friendly. So I chatted with her a bit, answering her questions and trying to politely show her that I was working and did nto really want to get latched into a long conversation with her. Normally this tactic will work on people, but today, nothing. So onwards the conversation went... and come to find out she's part of a christian fellowship. During the summer, they read bible stories to children. And then she proceeds to tell me how she has had 98 children reclaim Christ into their lives.
At this point, I know what is coming. I see the headlights, but I can't really stop it..
"So, what do you believe in?"
I turned right around and did not say what I was thinking. What I though was asking her, How old the children were. Did it really count if they were six? And how did she feel about putting young children on the spot, and how most of them probably did it because they were pressured by her and her group to do so. It's summer bible stories for the Lord's sakes.
Nope. There I stood in my corporate shirt in my skirt, wearing my name tag and said, "I do not have an opinion. Ia m at work."
And a few minutes later, I excused myself.
This comes at the foot of a day where everytime I turned around some customer was trying to buy something that was $10 or less with a $100!
What the h---!
