night randoomers it is gonna get stormy here and there is a Packer game to cringe, I mean watch
This is cause for celebration in this house, too. I am a Twins fan for the rest of the season, since the damn Red Sox decided they didn't REALLY want to stay 5 games ahead in the AL East, it would be SO much better to finish 12 games back and hit the golf course early. /bitter, bitter fanarw9797 said:Good job Twins!
Having gone to a few games this season I actually followed them a little more than usual. The first game I went to they were about 12 games back and now they just won the division title. Kirby would be proud!

There's nothing like the opening day of the Senior Olympics. It's not bad, I just feel like a truck has run over me at the end of the day. 8 more days to go .
My head hurts .
arw9797 said:Tonight at job #2 I told them I could not work the last 2 weeks of November and the last 2 weeks of December. I fully understand the busy season of retail, however, I'm moving Thanksgiving weekend. Plus with two babies being born at the end of this month in the family there will be tons and tons of out of towners the week of Thanksgiving. Including my sister. I'm not going to fold sweaters instead of spending time with my sister.
They said too bad!
I said well then not to make it sound like a threat but I technically don't need to work here after November 18 so how about making that my last day? I also said I'm more than willing to work on the weekends through Dec 23 but just not during the week. Then the 23rd would officially be my last day. They'll be done with the busy holiday season and I'll have time off to concentrate on job #1's insanely busy season and also be able to enjoy my new years weekend.
They're going to get back to me. The tone of the conversation changed drastically once I said Nov 18 would be my last day. I was told they'll reconsider.
I saw that but I didn't read it. That Bitter Old Interlander Syndrome I'm catching doesn't let me read threads in IO started by names I don't recognize.arw9797 said:Meg, this is a thread for you (I was so tempted to vertical type. I haven't done that in MONTHS!)

You are absolutely right about that. That's one of the reasons I decided to just keep being poor instead of accepting the job #2 back on the Dark Side. I miss enjoying Christmas and Thanksgiving, and working 65 hours a week in November and December would really not help that.shari schultz said:
Retail at the holidays............. Apparently no one is allowed to have a life outside of it during the holidays.

Hey- did you see that Trader Joe's has pumpkin butter this time of year? You could put pumpkin butter on pumpkin muffins and pumpkin bread!

I think I'm going home for the Saturday afternoon/Sunday/Monday morning of the Christmas weekend and I suddenly realized that I WILL enjoy it because it's like holiday break from school. I ALWAYS had the last exam on December 23, and then I would go home and lie under the tree and just relax and enjoy not having to do anything and letting my brain shut off. I'm looking forward to that.shari schultz said:

I did eat something labeled as pumpkin at the India Buffet my manager took me to last week (she's Pakistani)...and I liked it!

I have two sets of headphones from the time I forgot them and had to buy another set at the airport. Do you want one of mine? I also bought extra fuzzy earphone covers at the Apple Store and there are some pretty cool colors.Kariann said:I cannot find the earphones to my Ipod....my life just keeps getting better and better with each tiny moment!
Haven't been there yet, I read about it in that thread! I probably won't be buying any.arw9797 said:
So did you buy some at Trader Joe's?
I usually go to an apple orchard this time of year and pick up tons of pumpkin goodies, including pumpking butter
