This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| I'm glad I'm not in retail any longer. What a horrible day, especially if you work in a store where they keep track of your sales. Returns count against you, even in another department. So all those sales you worked so hard to get come bouncing back after the holidays. Then there's the long lines, if you're a customer, buying or returning. It's the same long wait. The crowds, the parking. Fortunately, very few clothes were given in our group, except for the toddlers who are easy to fit. Books will be read and traded. As for the rest of the town, it looked like a ghost town. The usual crowded streets were empty. Parking places were everywhere along my bus route. But I didn't need to park in an all day spot and catch the bus or trolley. The hospital garage opened up Christmas Eve and won't close until Sunday, Jan. 4. I can park 3 blocks from the office for free. The building in which I work is not empty, but it's so quiet. I had almost no phone calls today. A little filing appeared overnight. A few people came from other buildings for supplies, but I got caught up on so much stuff. This evening the downtown still looked vacated, as well as the mountain on which I live. My dad apparently saw one of the neighbors today, so they haven't all gone away. I love it. It has a small town feel, with a medium town convenience. Emergency services and mail are all running. You feel secure, but know the movie houses and the bars and the grocers are there if you need them. Now if I can just get rid of this incessant cough, the itchy throat, and runny eyes I got from that runny-nosed baby at my house during Christmas, I'd be better. |
