The Six Donut Diet
::::cackling like the Olde Crone that I am::::
Well, here's how it started. The other day was the Dreaded Inventory at work. Once a year they hire this company to come in and count every damned thing in the store to see how much "shrink" etc is going on. We have to get there at 4:45 in the morning cause the madness starts at five. The peeps that work for said company look like they were picked up at random on the street corners and most can't speak English so one has to hope they can count. {I know how that sounds but DAMN} This is my second year for this insanity and last year the inventory was so stupid it was just inbelievable. This one was a BIT better but I still had to go right behind them and recount EVERYthing because .... well.... they can't count. And I'll be GOTdamned if my lovely Borns and Sperry Topsiders are all jacked up. GEEZ. The upside is, almost all of said peeps are so damned nice you wanna cry. Well, I do anyway. Probly cause I get so ashamed of myself for thinking mean thoughts about their abilities {or lack of}. I mean, here I am in RETAIL for GAWD'S sake... making LESS than nothing... who the fuck am I to look down on anyone? At this point, I'm having to search to even FIND anyone lower on the totem pole than me!!!!
So strange how my life has floated me here, dragged me there, pushed me off cliffs and saved me at the same time. I've made LOTSA dollars at different times, live HIGH on that ol' Hawg, and then sold plasma and stole ketchup packages to feed me and the itsy one. It's been one helluva ride.... and just when I think I've gotten to some sort of calm place.....I hear the faint music of that ol' merry go round starting up again and I know that changes are in the wind. I've made a gypsy out of my little Heaven.... that same creature who so desperately wanted roots now has inherited my wayward nature and wonders what's around the next corner and where we'll be next year.
This apt we live in is really beautiful, I have GOT to get up off my dead tired ass and get some pics. The only thing is.... we are both just too crapped out by the end of the day to enjoy it much. Heaven's working six days a week, nearly twelve hour dayz and my job is so physical I am literally exhausted.
I did get Employee Of The Year though!!! They LOVE me they REALLY LOVE me!!! {{{LMAO}}}
That translates into an extra day of paid vacation and a $100 gift card to the store. Big Whoop I know, but it's nice to be appreciated and have my hard work noticed.
Anyway..... back to the subject line..... anybody remember it?
All it means is that I went to Dunkin' donuts this morning and bought six donuts and am finishing the last one as we speak. I am WALLERIN' in the fat and sugar and carbs!!!!! It's crazee.... but in the last two weeks I lost another five pounds or so, which is great.... so probly something in my psyche is shrieking in horror at the thought of any more "loss" and is attempting to make up for it with The Great Temptation. Doin' one HELLUVA job too, if I may say!!!
So, that's all folx.. just a quick and silly update to let whoever is still here know that we are too.
HUGZ!
