Okay, so this morning has started off with a disappointment. We are under a Winter Storm Warning... except there's no snow. The temp is sitting at 36 (F), which is cold enough for us to get snow, and the radar shows a massive snow cloud moving over us, but I haven't seen a single flake. There were warnings saying that the roads might be hazardous. Not going to happen with any precipitation.
Work yesterday was boring. Staffing was unbelievably short. In Flooring, there was a part-time associate scheduled from 10 - 1, she stayed until I arrived at 2 and then left, and I was the sole coverage for 5 hours. There was no one scheduled for the evening shift. It used to be common for us to have winter hours, with the store closing at 9 rather than 10. Not this year. While this doesn't effect me, I suspect this has a lot to do with the fact that they know prices are going up an that extra hour a day allows for the squeezing of one more sale out of our customers.
I've been chatting with Christos, my friend in Greece about using more Greek words in The Body in History. There's nothing wrong with bringing a little authenticity to a novel. It's also sooooo much better than turning to Google Translate, which doesn't always give you an accurate definition.
And Howie's big boy (large dog) food was delivered yesterday. This was recommended by his Vet since his puppy chow will cause him to grow bigger faster. Over the next few days he's going to be transitioning. He's also on some canned food right now, however, when that's gone, it's gone. Canned food has lots of fat calories he doesn't need.
I saw the Casey tidbit last night. Going in the election and mid-way through, I thought Casey was going to go down. Fuck...a big red clean sweep in PA. If anybody challenges McCormick the next election he's up, is the time to do so. Historically, the longer candidates are in, it gets harder to get them out
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how big Howie is already since you had him. And this cold. Talk about a wakeup call from the warm weather while in Kenya.....
Howie used to like to sleep under the new chair, and it seems he's out grown that. I doubt very much if McCormick is going to be running in 6 years.
DeleteMcCormick is a prime example of why we need to vote Blue up and down the ballot every single time.
ReplyDeleteAnd how can you be a PA Senator and not live there??? I just don't get that.
You can blame it on the price of eggs, and, while shopping today, I saw that they just got a little more expensive to buy.
DeleteHowie!
ReplyDeleteAnd I’m in Philly today and it’s chilly and wet. I think it’s gonna snow later.
Evilgelicals have no morals, Dave. Or brains. Or balls. As
Ohh as they get power, they do not give a rat’s ass.

I like Philly. Center City can be a bitch to drive in with all the one way streets. And Evangelicals will experience the end of times, but only for Christianity. They brought this on themselves.
