This, That and The Other Part Uno

Funny post over at Dooce today. Her daughter cracks me up.

Why do I want to buy this? Well, I know why but how do I think we're going to buy this? Did you see how the WANT part is all me and the how to buy is all WE? Yeah.

I had to hurdle the couch/sofa/davenport this afternoon because Spongebob was coming on and Peanut was napping. Just as my finger hit the mute button, she awoke from her coma like state and declared "BOB BOB!! MOMMY!! BOB BOB!!". Damn pineapples under the sea. Being all appealing and shit.

I flip back and forth between pure bliss and pure guilt for enjoying my Monkey Boy free day. My MIL takes him a couple days a week so he can play with his cousin and I can get some peace. Again, I feel guilt. And bliss*. Guilty bliss. I can live with that.

I've been liking work so much more these last few weeks. I'm not sure why, we still have snooty, stuck up rich people who would rather send their maids in to shop than have their Manolo Blahniks touch our floors or their Coach or Louis touch my counter. I think it's because we've gotten a good batch of new people. People we can mold into our corporate ways of thinking. People I can get to do my minion like jobs. No, I kid. There's no nolding going on. We look for premolded to our likes. There's one new girl that I love, she's friendly, outgoing, funny, you can tell when she's in a bad mood and not be offended at her not talking to you (coming from someone that needs people to like her all the time, THAT right there, not being offended at her NOT talking to me is HUGE!). Bottom line: she does her job well and she rocks. Two others are gone for whatever reasons. One that's left though needs to be gone soon. If I have to work with her, one of us will be crying, a plastic fork will be involved as well as our clean team crew. Bitter? Party of one? Bitter?

I passed a sting operation at work for booze. Got $50. Spent it on Stouffer's dinners for myself the last couple weeks since I've been working the Schedule From Hell. I actually was planning on blowing it on ridiculous stuff like magazines but then I decided to use it for groceries too. Wait, no, no I didn't. Ha! That thought never crossed my mind. I bought the Vanity Fair with Suri in it. Cute kid. Got the People on Steve Irwin. So sad. Right, ok, moving along....

I don't know when I'll get to my top 30. I can tell you right now that it will include an obnoxious amount of 80's pop metal. You have been warned.

*I don't know what that book is about but it's intriguing me now. I must go look it up. Thanks internet!

Well, damn! If you didn't just slam me back into retail. Again. Oddly, I'm almost notalgic about it, and I've only been out of it for five months. Stop it. I was enjoying my freedom there for awhile!

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well,

Trish Needs.......

I did this cause of Suzi, whose page I read religiously - check her out here . I'm going with the top 30 Google responses to "Trish needs" because SO many of them are related to wrestling of which I am a fan but not capable of doing without killing myself and/or the other person (unless it's the husband in bed but we won't go there. No. We won't. His sister reads this! Hi Steph!) I've decided to add commentary where I feel it's needed because, well, because I can. 1. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men (amen to that my friends) 2. Trish needs to get this card off as soon as possible 3. Trish needs to do some serious damage control 4. Trish needs your help (help packing, help mentally, help with laundry, help with Monkey Boy, etc) 5. Trish needs to come to OPS and talk to all counselors & supervisors 6. Trish needs a makeover ( I don't think it's THAT bad!) 7. Trish needs an intervention (I do not have an Oreo pr
