Exactly how did Valentine's Day come about? I've heard it was a creation by Corporate America to boost sales in toys, candy, jewelry and sexual products but I've also heard it had to do with some Patron Saint. I can't remember his name. Vick or something. Hmmm...
I'm very much single and I don't mind it much. I mean it'd be nice to find someone special and have a good relationship but I'm not getting depressed over it. I'm young yet. Besides, I have Wumpkie. He may be a fluffy puppy dog but he loves giving kisses! God, I am SO pathetic.
I actually had a good day at work today. Did I post about how Nancy and Delores called me into the office at work to tell me that I was talking to much and distracting others from their job? I can't remember if I did. Apparently, that was my last verbal warning. If I only knew that I was doing stuff wrong. I'm trying as hard as possible now to shut the hell up and shelve as fast as possible. I think I've doing pretty good with that. Nancy has smiled and even laughed at some things I have said (I tend to keep a bit of silliness close by just for fun) and hasn't scowled more than twice at me. She usually scowls a whole lot. Anyway, today I shelved about 6 or 7 carts and tidied up the Adult section as best I could. I think I was rather productive! The shelving carts were practically empty by the end of the day. I hope the Powers That Be notice that I am putting as much effort into doing a good job. I'd love to be able to move up to a position were I am allowed to help people. Just the other day I came into the Library and was tired and hungry and kind of cranky and a man and a small girl came up to me and asked for assistance finding a book. I helped them find the book and when they got it the man shook my hand and smiled at me and thanked me. THAT is what I live for. I can't describe how wonderful that made me feel! I just hope that for that brief second I made Life a tad bit easier for that man and girl. Am I wrong in wanting this? I hope it isn't too stuck-up.
Pumps and I just got done watching the Little Mermaid. It is such a great film. Gotta love Sebastian! The Fluffed One is now rolled in an interesting position on the carpet fast asleep. He is so cuuuutee! I'm going to bring my old computer over to Mom's place and hook it up for her early this morning. She apparently bought me a gift or two and wants to take me to lunch. She has some issues she needs to work with but lately she's been so caring and supportive of me. I'm so glad to have a mother like her. Don't tell anyone but I'm going to make some heart-shaped sugar cookies (with sprinkles!) for her. She shouldn't be eating them but I know she'll like them.
Okay this is the last part, I swear! I just wanted to wish all my readers (if any) a Happy Valentine's Day and if you are single or poor or whatever and don't have the money or any reason to buy silly gifts or candies for someone than maybe give someone you like a hug or smile at others more often. Spreading a bit of Love around is free and very worthwhile!
