So I've done a full week in the wine store now. Had Monday and Tuesday off, back to work. I'm really enjoying it. And I even managed to sell a case on Sunday. Yay ( Read more... )

I have to confess -- if it had been just cash it would have been all mine. But with the deposit slip and check I would have had to turn it in.

Aren't we morally superior?

I'm glad you're enjoying Your Plan so far. I'm not enjoying it as much as you because I've got to drag myself to the pool today for my cardio. I HATE to swim. I've got to convince myself I don't though. Then either upper or lower free weights, I'm not sure which. Rest assured I'm following along at home.

::looks down at muffin top and is kind of inspired::

also, I love how you picked on bent over rows! LOL

I'm *so* glad you're enjoying being a professional wino. Maybe if I ever move out there and you're being super-fly paramedic woman I can be a professional wino.

You would love this job. And I would love to hand it off to you if EMS came knocking.

I totally picked bent over rows at random. Seriously. I have no problem with them. I swear. :)

Have fun swimming. I need to get back in the pool soon. I've been completely uninvolved in swift water training the last several months. Now I need to just swim some to get back into shape to try training again.

I love your use of "muffin top". I'm pretty good with my belleh, but I have inner thigh issues. *looks down* On Sunday I had some thigh rubbing issues under my dress.

We all have our specific places. Sometimes I feel very left out when all the Y-ladies and other instructors complain about their hips and butt. They all go on and on about their flat tummies and these giant butts.

I'd rather have a flat tummy and a giant butt than a big tummy and a flat butt any day of the week!

I hate that thigh rubbing thing with skirts/dresses! Rest assured, it will be gone soon.

Yeah, I'll take flat tummy and giant butt over the opposite too. But yeah, we all have our spots. My biggest thing is the curve of my back and shoulders and there's only so much I can do for that because it's my skeleton. But keeping my back and shoulder muscles strong does help my posture some.

Not only can you edit while you work - you can sip wine too! What a life!

No drinking while working. I can have a glass when I close, but not during the main part of my shift. But it's okay because I have a fancy glass of chocolate milk right now and that's even better.

But when you do tastings - you don't sip along with them? That seems rude! JK!

Nope. I don't taste with them. On a busy day that would be several glasses worth of wine. I have to be able to work the computer, you know. ;-)

Aww, you're good people, Sal.

Does your wine shop have a website? Distant orders/shipping? I'm always looking for certain things and people who carry them.

And I hate bent over rows, too. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong/wonky with my arms to make them hurt, but I still hate them. (I say "Delorian Doors" while doing them to make sure I do them right, lol.)

I don't actually hate bent over rows, I just picked that exercise at random. Maybe I should edit it. ;-)

I just couldn't keep that money (even though the cash was tempting). The checks were small amounts and the deposit slip was for a savings account and all I could think was that it was probably some teenager's babysitting money that she dropped on the way to the bank. I just couldn't keep it, you know?

I will e-mail you regarding wine sales. It's complicated.

LOL, you can't fool me, YOU HATE THEM. With a white hot rage, if I'm not mistaken. Hee.

Oh, I would have done the same thing. But like Brandi, if it had been all cash? It would have been iffy for a minute. I still stand by you being good people. Except for that murdering hobo thing you can't stop. I really wish you'd get help for that.

I can't deny that that $50 bill in my hand was very, very tempting. Sooooooooo tempting. *sigh*

As to the hobo murders, we all have our nasty habits. B teaches spinning and step aerobics *shudder*; you drink margaritas and beat your children; I murder hobos. I don't think any of us is better than another.
