Work today: I don't know what was up, if people had holes in their pockets or what, but I picked up six pennies on the floor. Also people started acting ditzy: forgetting bags, forgetting PINs, forgetting things they came in to get, and mostly chuckling good-naturedly about it. I couldn't help wondering if the up-coming full moon had a hand in it ( Read more... )

Forgot to mention one thing yesterday: a slightly late birthday present for meself, Harlequin Nocturne's "Christmas in Salem", a collection of paranormal romance stories set in Salem at Christmas (Might read this for Christmas in July), and a plushie of Anubis as a puppy, black with gold trim and velvety fur. Adorable ( Read more... )

Work, admittedly, has not provided much fodder for hilarity. Until today. I have one nerve-wracking incident and one funny incident. First, the nerve-wracking one ( Read more... )

Work wackiness today: At first, my boss asked me if I wanted to leave an hour early; I told him I'd rather not, since I needed the hour. And then things got busy and I wound up staying an extra forty minutes. A very busy forty minutes, since a bunch of people mobbed into the check out at once. Yikes ( Read more... )

The local used book store has recently started buying stuff for cash: books printed between 2012 and 2014, graphic novels, manga, DVDs, CDs, books on CD, classics and a few other odds and ends. My dad offered to take me there after work, and so I gathered up a few of mine, including the hardback edition of "A Dance of Dragons" (I'd gotten the ( Read more... )

Busy day at work: typical Monday, except for more hams and chocolate eggs and Easter Peeps. And stronger wind: A warm wind tore through the area and today, the repair guys from headquarters had come in to fix one of the automatic doors that had started sticking shut. Thus, we had a wind tunnel effect every time the doors opened at the other end of ( Read more... )

Bright sunny day today, so we opened more windows around the house, including the windows near our bird' cages: they got a bit leery of the open curtains, especially Oz the cockatiel, but Flurry the budgie seemed to enjoy it, started twittering and singing as the breeze ruffled his feathers. It's been a long winter: they needed fresh air as much as ( Read more... )

Work day today: I got called in randomly shortly after I got up and started puttering around online. Needed the hours since last week was short and this week wasn't look much longer, so it all worked out. Fire Siren Kid was back in the store again, and someone tried mollifying him with a bag of ...some kind of candy with little pieces. M&Ms or ( Read more... )

Due to things starting with 'R', such as rain pounding on the roof two nights in a row, also a rodent rattling in the walls of my room, which kept me awake. My dad set a have-a-heart trap for the rodent; however, he's brought the rodent to work to amuse the sweet, evil little cats that live in the greenhouse (kittens of a stray mama cat who showed ( Read more... )
