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.
