(we're all about bandwagons…)
My flight instructor called last night. “Just wanted to make sure you remembered that you have that cross country tomorrow.”
“Yes, I remember. Am I still on the schedule? Is the plane working?”
“Yes, everything’s good, you’re ready to go in the morning.”
So when I got there this morning and asked for the plane, they told me it was down for maintenance.
Some new photos up on the photos page. Link at the top right corner of the page…
So. It’s official. My new social security card says my middle name is Elise and my last name is Nachzen.
Now I’ve just got to wait until I have get off early some Friday and get a new driver’s license. But we get the next two Fridays off. I wonder if the tag agency will be open on Christmas Eve. Not a chance, right?
Finally, a company that sells Berck’s kind of socks. If not his size.
Berck is in Delaware for the next two nights. It’s cold in the apartment without him. I turned on the heat for the first time. It’s supposed to get in the 20’s tonight. It was that cold when I took Berck to the airport on the way to work this morning.
We worked till 5. I pulled product from the time the pullers arrived an hour after we did to quitting time. I’ve been pulling for the last two weeks straight. I don’t mind. In-checkers aren’t evaluated on their times weekly like the pullers are. So instead of choosing runs that I know I can do quickly, I pick runs that are fun.
What would make one department more fun than another? For me it’s all about finding the most efficient use of space in the tubs as possible…thus neat little rectangles. My favorites are books. But those departments tend to be pretty popular…books are fast. So I end up pulling Bibles all day.
No one likes pulling Bibles. The standard time requirement for them is ridiculously high. They tend to be bulky and heavy, so you can’t hold a bunch and then put them in the tub. And if your pull large at all, your cart will be full in no time, and you’ve got to go switch it out with a new cart full of empty tubs (this eats a lot of time). But since I don’t have to worry about fighting the clock, I get to play with the nice neat rectangles.
In other news, I saw three meteors last night, all of them big and bright and traveling slowly across half the sky. I didn’t stay awake for the peak of the shower.
I got gas for $1.48 today, BABY.
