Donuts!

 We broke past the freezing barrier!  Or at least, if not through, that rubbed ourselves up and down its ice encrusted sides.  Yepper!  We dropped down to 32 (F) over night.  I knew it was cold because I could hear furnace fan purring away deep down in the basement.  Our temps are expected to climb 27 (F) degrees this afternoon.  Tonight, our temps are not predicted to get that cold.  

I did work yesterday.  The flooring department was very slow.  This doesn't mean we didn't talk to customers, we did, but none of them were biting.  On a whole, both the store and the department made plan last week.  I made both my measure and sales goals.  Management is happy.  I did, however, not sit at the Lead Generation Table, even though I'd been scheduled for an hour.  My supervisor is in charge, and she comes up with games we're supposed to entice customers to play, all the time trying to get them to sign up for a window installation lead, or a door installation lead.  This week it's a ring toss game.  Well, I walked in and saw the cones and the rings and quietly said to myself, "toss this."

On November 7 I'll be down in Lebanon getting my Covid vaccine.  I grew in Lebanon.  There's a woman named Alicia who I went to school with, who I chat with occasionally who still lives there.  This morning I sent her an invite for coffee after I get my inoculation.  She was in my graduating class.  If she accepts, this will be the first time I've seen anyone from the class of 1970 since I left for the Navy in 1971.

Towards the end of my shift yesterday I was heading down to the Service Desk to pickup returns, when Cori from paint asked me if I wanted a donut.  There were 2 left, and while she almost always takes the one with maple icing, she decided to opt for the glazed donut instead.  Of course, there was no way I could ever turn down a donut.  The only thing bad about this pic is that it's difficult to see how much weight I've lost in my bulky orange apron.

So, the Orange Anus burbled something out yesterday about having an MRI when he went to the hospital for his 2nd annual physical a few weeks back.  MRI, eh?  I've had an MRI done on my lungs for years because at one point in time, a long, long time ago, I used to be a smoker.  The MRIs were done to see if any nasty nodes had developed.  Enough time has passed so they're no longer necessary.  I don't think Orangie was ever a smoker, however, MRIs are also used for examining joints, and to check on tumors to see if they're growing, and to check out stroke damage.  Orangie isn't saying what his MRI was for, but with the way the left side of his face has been sagging, I'm suspecting they were looking for stroke damage.  

He also mentioned something about running for a third term.  Neither he, nor the MAGA Cultists understand how quickly the American people would stomp the shit of them if they tried such a thing.  No one ever said they were smart.
