You're Getting Warmer!

Remember when you were little and you played that game where you'd walk around the room and the other person would say, 'you're getting warmer!' or 'you're getting colder!'? That's kind of what working here is like.

Why should my customers write down exactly what they want me to provide them when they can make me guess instead? It's more fun (for them) this way. I hope they feel the same when they get the bill(s) for each successive time I've had to re-run stuff. Ahem! This is ridiculous. Bunch of teases!

I had a pretty uneventful weekend. It was nice though. I got a little more Christmas shopping done. I'm still a little behind on the 'get all my shopping done before Thanksgiving' plan, but I'm closer than I was. My family is no help. Nobody will tell me what they want. What should I get the boy? He's no help either.

OOh, guess what song just came on my windows media player...Shorty swing my waaaaaaaaaaaaay. What a happy little song. It caused me to ask Arthur the definition of a 'tenderoni'. Sounds edible.

Sorry. I'm easily distracted.

I made Little Mandy's gooey chocolate butter cookies (click on recipes) yesterday and I must say they might be the best cookies I've ever eaten. Would probably be even better if I hadn't over-cooked them. Am I stupid? The recipe clearly said 350 degrees (which is the same temperature that I normally cook stuff at), but I set the oven at 450 degrees. What a dork! They didn't burn. They're still good, but they're not really "gooey". I'll have to make them again sometime.

Wow sounds as if you have a similar job as myself. I am in Advertising Sales or maybe similar clients.

Christmas Shopping is meant to be finished by Decemeber 24th and started on said morning of December 24th. No sooner and definately no later.

Toebee, are you Crazyee?

Shopping during the Christmas season drives me nuts. I'm the type of person who is consumed by an urge to ram my shopping cart into unsuspecting shoppers who are in my way during non-peak season.

When I go shopping during Christmas season, it makes my probation officer very nervous. :)

That, my friend, is why the day after CHRISTmas is called "boxing day"... hey, you cut in the return line - BOOOM!! - happy BOXING day!

(except apparantly Jen likes to celebrate early - I'm so pround of the skills/tenets I was able to instill in her)

Jim, Just think if you had taught me weapons. I'd make weapons out of the most unlikely objects while shopping. I would batter people with loaves of French bread,etc.

If I could turn back tiiiiime....

The boy asked me the other day why he's never seen any of my TKD skills. I told him hospital trips are expensive.
