What A Day

Very surreal. First of all the dusting turned into a good couple inches by the time I walked out to catch the bus. Then I spent nearly a half hour waiting for the first bus. There was another that stopped but wasn't the right number. So it started up and pulled out, slid and banged it's back end into the bus stop sign. It kept going no real damage. Finally the other bus came. I got on and rode to where I had to transfer. Waited another 15 minutes for another bus. Finally came. Straight to my place of work right? Wrong. Turns out I got on the bus that only goes to the lightrail transit station. So off I get to stand and wait once again. Here comes the train which finally arrives at my destination. Now I have to hurry in and make a quick purchase before I head to work. Turns out I forgot to put on my blazer this morning. So I buy a sweater instead to wear. Darn dress codes. Thankfully I got waited on right away. Now I have to sprint to the other side of the mall. I arrive and get ready to open my locker and throw in my coat and purse. New locker just assigned the other day. Haven't used it yet. Stuff all over the inside of it. Never cleaned out from the last user. So I hang my coat up in the hall, take my wallet out of the purse and leave the purse in place where employees have to leave bags of purchases and rush downstairs to finally clock in with seconds to spare. Good thing I always leave a couple hours early!

Hi Elaine,

Thanks for your comment on my recent post which I deleted yesterday. Thanks for your thoughts, it means a lot to me. The reason why I deleted is because I realized it was very personal and I felt so open.

I know who reads my blogs and sometimes I don't always want certain people to read them (excluding you and some others). I will be in touch with you soon and will explain a bit more.

But for now, thanks again. I was really touched. :-)

Take care,
Ann

Good thing every morning is not like this one. At least you made it safely.

My old blog totally quit letting me post to it. Something about ftp
permissions. I have created a new blog at http://kidric.blogspot.com

Peace, love and light.

Thank you for posting to my blog, and sorry for the delay in respose.

Hello Blue,

Yes I like my job very much. I work in a department store. It's very busy and there's always alot to do and alot of people to meet. The only thing I could do without are the sore feet after standing on them practically all day.
