The Return of Dr. Grandma
FINALLY, Dr. Grandma has come to her senses and come back to work with us. She even brought donuts in this morning for everyone. I still think she’s not herself after her employment-elsewhere adventures. See, the Dr. Grandma I know would not go near a donut with a 10-foot pole. She’s totally carb-o-phobic. But I did enjoy the donuts, and I’m even happier that Dr. Grandma is back with us. Now our group is complete once more.
I worked at Job#2 tonite. It was miserably slow today, but for some excitement my coworker Ashes came in with a couple of classmates from her film class. They’re shooting some sort of PSA regarding proper walking techniques in high heels, or something like that. Shoe boss was kind enough to let them use the store for filming. I was cast as an extra in the how not to walk in heels. It was pretty easy, really, since I hate heels and always wear flats. I’m being adventurous in a 1 inch heel, really. So they got shots of me wearing these:
…and I lived to tell about it. It’s a 4 1/4 inch heel, the highest we have in the store. I asked Ashes if it was possible to upload it to YouTube so you can all see my film debut. I’ll let you know what she says.
I’ve still been oversleeping a lot, which has absolutely got to stop. I’ve been looking at a couple of habits that contribute to this: caffeine and blogging, or the internet in general. Since I’ve been so tired, and soda is available at work, I’ve been sucking it down like there’s no tomorrow. New rule is that I don’t drink any caffeine after lunch. And internet - gosh, it’s so easy to lose track of time on these internets. You think you’re only spending a minute or 2 checking email and a quick rundown of a couple favorite blogs, and next thing you know the boss is calling asking if you’re seriously ill because you haven’t been in all week. It hasn’t gotten that bad with me, but I have been up till the wee hours with bloodshot eyes staring at my computer screen. So now, no computer after 10pm - 11 on weekends. As of this writing, that means I only have 25 minutes to finish this post and check my other blogs before shutting down for the night. We’ll see how that goes.
So, in the interest of time, I must be going now. Tomorrow night I don’t have to work so I’ll have more time for you all. Till then…
