Has anyone ever wondered what happens at your job during your two days off? It seems like when I leave to go home the place is clean and everything is well under control. I walk in today and realized that I had missed the news update that a small tornado had passed through my work area and left behind an area that should have been surrounded by caution tape. I am almost 100% sure that there are small elves or trolls (something) that comes out when I'm off and overtakes my office. Oh well 2 hard days off work will get it back to normal then we are back to square one after my long weekend for the 4th.
Highlight of my day was when I came home today to find out that my husband was going to cook us dinner!!! This is a new thing for him and he is catching on quickly. He made porkchops on the grill, homemade mash potatoes, and a spanish rice (from a package) it was all really good. We still need to work on the ratio of starches per meal but we'll get there. Now if I could get him to do the dishes too. Ha ha. I really can't complain he does help out with laundry, mowing the grass, the trash oh and the litter box. Just alittle tip for those of you with cats, if you have not had children yet you can con your husband into cleaning the litter box by informing him that when you become pregnant with his love child that you won't be able to do it for the whole nine months so he can start now and be well in practice. It worked for me!!
I work for a major retailer who will remain nameless (those of you who know me know where but everyone else can speculate). On a daily basis I deal with stupid people, whether it be people I work with or customers in the store. Everyday I get asked some of the weirdest or sometimes stupidest questions. Like this "Do you work here?" Well let's see I have on the standard uniform and Oh let's see a name tag with my name and the name of the company. I really feel like saying "No I'm just testing this out for my next Halloween costume, how's it work?" Come on people, think before you speak and you won't get stupid looks or stupid answers.
From my front window I have a good view of the neighbors backyard (good thing they are friends) I enjoy on a daily basis seeing their one year old completeing new tasks everyday. It always makes me smile and keeps my outlook on children a positive one. Today I got to watch him become a gardener helping his mom pick what appeared to be cucumbers. He also carried the watering can(without water) then he took on the role of supervisor. He is so cute and it's nice to see him grow. It's things like this that bring a smile to your face, even after dealing with stupid people at work. I was not the only one who noticed the little guy helping mom, Brutus (the dog) spotted him after a few minutes and went crazy thinking everyone should notice him and does everything to make sure that happens. He stared out the front door until they were out of site and then alitttle longer to make sure they weren't coming back and then he went back to his normal spot on the floor for another nap.
I know my thoughts are random and sometimes boring to others but a friend told me this was a great way to vent so that's what I'm doing. Hope I didn't lose anyone in the mix.
