Wowser Work Is Slow

So like whoa, our store has been dead, and i mean pretty darn dead the last two days. Yesterday was super dead like i just cleaned all day and two people worked on training and it still seemed slow dead! And today was a little busier but like still super dead for a thursday. What is going on? Has everyone transfered out ? Like last week we were really busy? Where did everyone go? I don't want my store to close. Ok so it isn't anywhere close to that as of yet but still it makes me nervous since there is like 4 rite aids in kenmore, i don't want to be at the end of the list!

Based on the number of drug stores that keeping popping up in Kenmore, I'm thinking you're store is probably safe. I mean, they just added 3 I can think of off the top of my head in the past year so we must not be at critical mass yet, right?

I was wondering if you worked at the Rite Aid where I normally go, and I feel relieved that you don't. I hate the Rite Aid I go to (it's the one closest to where I live) and I would feel bad if I hated the place where you work. I feel pissed off every time I go to my Rite Aid to fill my scripts. Like really angry. Like I go home and vent to (e:drew). He thinks it's funny.

Muppet Babies

when the world looks kinda weird,
and you wish that you weren't there,
just close your eyes and make believe,
and you can be anywhere

Speaking of muppets. Do you guys still have the tape of you and Paulie singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow? That's a classic.

Fire, Rain and Machettes

So I used to love and actually still love the song Fire and Rain, ever since it was featured on the Dawson's Creek episode where his father died. Anywho, I haven't heard it in a while and then randombly three times since last night I have heard itON THE RADIO, on three separate stations. Seriously why was it on 96.1 99.9 and 104.1 in the last like twelve hours. How random? Is there a big James Taylor comeback tour coming soon or something? Random?

Also, whenever there is strife in Africa , like currently in Kenya, mobs of people always attack others with machettes? Does everyone there just have one? I also wondered about this? Is that like how people here have guns, there thye have machettes? It just really rocks my world that like all of a sudden thousands of peoples in roitous mobs have them at the drop of a dime!

My friend in Cuba Dayron was attacked with a machete. He has a permanent scar on his hand from it because he used his hand to protect himself. THey wanted his cell phone.

Right, they slice, they dice, they julienne.....

If it's like central America, everybody has machetes. They are very useful things to have.

Sooo Much Food Christmas Celebration #4

In my family as (e:paul) detests we have a few christmas celebrations. We have christmas eve with my aunt and uncle and cousins, then christmas day with just our immediate family, then a day with my dad's extended family and then a day with my mom's extended family. Today it is my mom's extended family. Anywho that is not really what this post is about. I was just thinking that I have a warped sense of what you need for a meal. Like honestly does everyone's family gatherings involve so much food? I guess they prolly do, but like it just seems so crazy how much food is involved, do people out there just have meals with like one meat and just like two sides? They must right, but i just can't imagine. I think if there isn't at least 3 pounds of food per person , it can't be enough. Like today we have I think like 12 people ocming over but my mom is making roasted chickens, liek a pot roast, clams casino, asparagus with mushrooms thing, a chick pea salad, another salad, twice baked cheesy potatoes and prolly like at least 3 other things. And she is always nervous there won't be enough, though from (e:paul)'s photos you can see there is always plenty. I think I always think the same way, like if i am having a dinner party there needs to be like 100 things, it makes it very hard to pull off (esp. since i have zero kitchen skills). So i don't know, I love that there is so much food, but is everyone's family like this?

You forgot to add the sausage biscuit things, calzone and cookies that the cousins brought. It was all very tasty.
