A Pox?
Or a jinx?
Since i have had my job in late September:
one employee had a panic and mild heart attack at work and was hospitalized for a week
another employee fainted and fell
another employee had a panic attack and was unable to breathe and was hospitalized
the employee that fainted slipped and fell on the ice
our district manager fell on the ice trying to dig out our back door because the mall hadn't done it and hadn't salted anything either
Someone suggested it might not be the store, but me. Who knew Lettuce could be dangerous?

Minor Irritating Frustrations
Yet, i am feeling beat down. How many times can my work schedule or weather get in the way of holiday plans?
My work and (e:Uncutsaniflush)'s work schedules must have been planned... my boss and his got together and decided that every time i am working, he is not and every time he is working, i am not. Means we cannot do any holiday things together.
Ah, but just to give us false hope, we both have Sunday off, so we made plans. And now, we find out there might be a killer snow fall on Saturday night/Sunday morning, leaving us stuck for just enough time to not be able to make our plans a reality.
Then there's the times when there are parties that neither of us can attend because we are working.
It seems like the fates do not wish us to see anyone else this holiday season.
I will miss seeing my brother and sister in law and their kids, along with the new 6 year old foster child they recently took in. I will also miss seeing the extended family -- cousins and aunts and uncles. If those plans are still on... my mom hasn't mentioned them...
I am trying hard not to let this get to me, since really, in the grand sceme of things, it is just minor. Yet i am upset and frustrated.
Perhaps it is just getting used to working and having limited time again. I found it difficult enough to please everyone and be everywhere when i wasn't working, it's even more difficult now.
Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope there will be pictures of the pot luck posted soon.

Red Fire
That's the name of this month's colour. Last month, (e:LeeTee,42112) i used Red Hot. It was good, but a bit too much of a violet base for me, since my hair tends to pull blues easily. So, this month, i thought i would try Red Fire, since it has a copper base.
(e:Uncutsaniflush) and i heard from a ex-friend in our past. Interesting that she called my phone instead of his to speak to him. Result was the same, though. He did not wish to speak to her and neither did i. Funny that, huh? That we would not want to chit chat with someone who told us she did not want to be our friend?
For another friend we adore dearly, we ordered a holiday gift from Signals. The day after we ordered it, we found out it was back ordered, due to be in stock on the 4th... then the 7th... then the 9th... then the 11th... now, the 19th. Looks like we might need to find a new gift or have a New Years gift for her instead...
Still no ideas for my dad, (e:LeeTee,42453) for his birthday. Sadly, most stuff from Tarpin Station wouldn't be that great for shipping. Besides, he can get all that stuff there... and he is a roll your own kinda guy, not a bong kinda guy. And he has enough weed to last a few... well... most people, years, him months.
Other than some odds and sods (and my dad's birthday gift), we are mostly done with our holiday shopping. I think if i continue to work retail, i want to finish shopping by 1 December next year!
Well, i best get on with chores and enjoying my day off. As is typical, i am working the evening of the (e:Strip) Holiday Pot Luck....

Out of Control
Saw this film this afternoon.... fucking amazing. Even though i knew what would happen in the end, i still cried. Surprisingly, i also laughed at bits of it. I wasn't expecting that.
If you're interested, go see it before it goes away. Myself, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and 2 older people (the man said "that was shit" when the credits started rolling... i wonder what he was expecting?) were the only ones in the theatre. I don't expect it to be around for very long.
For anyone that is interested, Joy Division themselves...

Oh, Dad!
Damn, that man is so hard to buy for....
It would be difficult enough if there was just the one holiday. But his birthday is January 7th, so i have always purchased 2 gifts during the holiday shopping season, since the shops are usually so picked over after x-mas.
Since i know he doesn't read this, i can say that we got him an x-mas gift already. A page a day calendar that counts down the day Bush leaves office... oh, how he will love love love that.
But what to get him for his birthday? We probably won't be able to see him because of mine and (e:Uncutsaniflush)'s work schedules... so i need to be able to send it or have it delivered.
How can the internet have run out of ideas for him!! How??!!
What to buy for the man that spends the majority of his time working for his own business or parked in front of the t.v. smoking weed?
I have already done junk food baskets and t.v. guides for him for soOOoo many years. Besides, he has high cholesterol now... so no more cheesecake of the month idea....
Oh, Daddy... i love you... but... what to get you for your birthday can be such a challenge!!!!

Birthday's, User Sounds and Shopping
Poor (e:Uncutsaniflush) had to work on his birthday. The only good thing about it was that i have baked him a cake as a surprise when he gets home from work. Hope to hear from him soon letting me know he is on his way home...
Happy Birthday, my wonderful husband. I love you. You rock.
I changed my user sound. To my favie xmas song. It used to be Kate Bush's December Will Be Magic Again, but since i heard it for the first time last year, it is now the Hippo Song... i just LOVE it. Thanks, (e:Uncutsaniflush) for finding and downloading it for me!
While looking at stuff online, i came across a few things i thought were amusing, but not for anyone on my list. Thought i would share....

Been Waiting At The Bus Stop All Day
It's funny what people will do in cars when they don't think people can see them. Standing at the corner of Elmwood and Delavan waiting for the bus to work today around 1.30pm, it was interesting to see the variety of things people were doing in their vehicles while waiting for the light to change.
A lot of men were picking their noses. Not a sly little "i need to get rid of this booger" pick, but full blown arm all the way up there. Some are even on their phones at the same time. I wonder if the person on the other end knew they were...
Quite a few women were grooming themselves. A lot of hair fixing, mostly, but the occasional makeup. Most surprising was the woman brushing her teeth while on the phone.
There were few readers. A lot of radio/music changers. Some even doing the now old school cds... maybe some ipods, too, but i couldn't tell them from radios if they were docked.
I was disappointed to see as many SUV drivers on phones... not that i am all high and mighty, but it sure does fit the stereotype, doesn't it? I supressed my urge to scream "HANG UP AND DRIVE ASSHAT!" by a thread. Who has PMS? Not me!
I saw a lot of inconsideration, too. People trying to make it through the light and ended up on a red in the middle of the intersection so the vehicles on Delavan trying to cross Elmwood had to wait for the next light.
I wonder what my next bus wait will produce....

Thanksgiving Pugs
'Cause that's what is most important to give thanks for, right?
I have seen Kirsten in so long now that she's moved down to Little Summer. I miss having her and the pugs and her kitties a couple of doors down and being able to see them at any time.
We went out for lunch then over to her place to hang with the animals. Of course, i took a camera full of pictures. Of course i am going to share some.
The always adorable Ava
Nolan can be so hard to get a good picture of, his fur is so black and shiny
I think having kids has done to Ava what i have heard it can do to humans... pack on a few extra pounds... She used to be so svelte.
Kirsten kept one of the 7 babies Ava (and Nolan) had. She named him Taj. I can see the personalities and physical characteristics of both Ava and Nolan in him.
Then, later in the day, i made us a tofurkey... with all the typical turkey fixins -- 'taters and carrots and cranberries.
