3:02am???

WTF? Ok, I give up.. lol

*YAWNS* Great news..

I have no idea why the time on yahoo is screwed up. All my posts to lists are 5 hours ahead of when I actually send them. And when I wrote my last blog post, I certainly did NOT write it at 2:30 in the freakin morning! Right now it's a few minutes after 6am. It's not a time zone thing, because this computer is set for Eastern. Now for the GREAT news...

We are under a Winter Storm Advisory til 9am. Already have about an inch of snow, and it's calling for a wintery mix of sleet. YIPPEE! Great driving for the 20 minutes up & down winding roads 0n my way to work this morning. When my mom went to work this morning, she let us know the roads are just wet right now. But it *is* only 32 degree's out. Plus, she's driving Mike's Monster Truck. Don't ask.. lol. So I'm driving her van, which she told me to be careful, as it doesn't have great traction. OY!

This is the start of week 2 at the store, and I'm doing pretty good. I'm working the cooler, as Dave had off yesterday & today. Which I don't mind, as I really like working in the cooler. I actually prefer it over the case lots. But I'm usually only suppose to do the cooler on Wednesday, Dave's usual day off. We're getting a butt-load of produce in today, and I'll be very very busy all day long! But anyhoo's.. They tried to train me on the freezer last Thursday. OMMFG! I really thought I could handle it - but I couldn't. For one, I had no idea they were going to put me in there, so I didn't wear any long johns, like I am now. You'd think from years of being outside for hours on end inspecting & helping to load cars in freezing weather (sometimes in snow & ice storms) would prepare me for a simple freezer. HELL NO! It was like the air was concentrated somehow.. it's hard to explain.. it was so cold, you didn't even see your breath. It has to be that way, as that's where they keep the ice cream & all the other frozen food. Hopefully, they wont put me back in there!

Well, anyhoo's.. Linda.. Deborah.. LOL.. time for me to get dressed, and go to the bathroom one more time. Because if I don't & I slide.. I will have a mess in my pants.

Signing off at 6:22am... I wonder what time it'll claim I posted this??

Working Stiff, 101

Yes, I've once again joined the world of the working. Actual work that I get a pay check for. Today is day 3 at the Surplus Outlet on Rt. 15. It's a grocery store of sorts. Not like a Sam's Club - far from it. It's more of an overstock/scratch & dent store. But they have everything a regular grocery store has, but at a fraction of the price. They want me to learn a few jobs there so I can fill in when I'm needed. My first day I was trained on the cooler. Which is a section of the store that is literally a giant walk-in fridge that has the meats, cheeses, yogurt, milk, eggs, produce.. And yesterday I was doing it pretty much on my own, with not too much help from others. Now today, I will be trained on my 'regular' job of case lots. Which is pretty much stocking shelves. I'm dreading the day they train my on the freezer. OMFG! Makes me want to crawl back under the covers just thinking about it! The people there are nice, and stop & ask throughout the day how I'm making out, and if I need any help, to just let them know. The dress code sucks, but lots of people have to wear certain clothes to work. Can't wear blue or black jeans, which is ALL I WEAR, so the day they called me to tell me I had the job, I had to go out shopping for dress slacks! But I found out yesterday that I can wear other colors of denim, just not black or blue. So hell yeah, I'm gonna go shopping again, as soon as time permits! I start at 7:30am, and work til 4pm.. so I'm eating cereal now trying to wake up. I'm usually not a breakfast eater, but I'd probly be sorry & draggin my ass if I didn't. On break, I'll go out to the truck and munch on something. Probly a nanner. Oh, I wanna make a sammich for today, too. I bought some yummy turkey ham yesterday after work. Which leads me to wonder just what the hell kind of animal do they get turkey ham from?!?

As I bring this blog post to a close, let me ask this. Did anyone of you out there ever like swallowing your bubble gum when you were a kid? If so, you'll LOVE the kind of ice cream I got last night. It's Bubblicious from Breyers. It's pink & has chunks in it, that when chewed, is reminiscent of gum that you've had in your mouth for 10 hours & falls apart. Oh, you know what I'm talking about! When mom & I first smelled it, it was so heavenly! Then I had a bowl last night after supper. Man, it was awesome! Til you got half way through.. then you never want to see another piece of gum again. Ever. It got kinda sickning.. lol. Good thing it was only $2.19, because I don't know if I want anymore real soon!

Ok, an hour left to get dressed, make a sammich, fix the hair.. blah blah blah. See you cats later! Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...

CONGRATS, JAMIE MCMURRAY!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN' HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! =D
Congrats to the man for winning the 2010 Daytona 500!!! *does happy dance* I've always been a huge fan of his, but after seeing how emotional he got after winning... it just made me love him all the more!! What an awesome athlete!!! It was such a loooong drawn out race, but well worth the wait, IMHO! It ran almost 2 1/2 hours over, because of 2 red flags, due to the asphalt coming loose between turns 1 & 2. The second time, they patched it with something different, and it held out for the last 39 laps. (Did you notice the very first car that ran over the patch, was the pace car? LOL!) Poor Junior was actually kinda pissed that came in second. But he did amazing job, from what I saw! I couldn't find my Ryan Newman shirt, and you saw what happened to him. :( *sighs* Gordon, as always, JUST missed 3 wrecks by the skin of his pearly white teeth. But got caught up in the last one. *snorts* Hey, he wasn't hurt. I never heard my mom scream with so much glee, as when she did when Johnson cut a tire.. LMAO! There were lots of stories in tonights race, those were the ones that stuck out.

All in all, the race was terrific.. especially the end! They had to restart it a few times in the last couple laps.. good lord, are they trying to give me a heart attack?? Ooohhoohh.. they are replaying the end on NACSAR Victory Lane on the Speed channel. I'm curling my toes just as much as the first time! "What A Man" is playing in my head!! You Da' Man, Jamie!!! OHH! Interviewing him now!!!
