My turn to break the rules and work stuff

Ok I accidentily went into an express lane with my 20 items today! Argh, I hope Carrie doesn’t get mad at me.  I brought my reusable bags and everything but clearly the cashier was not amused when I realized my goof and apologized. Gee whiz!

And I am not an employee for any store! How I wish I could wear a sign! Please don’t get mad at me when I tell you I don’t work for stuffmart. I just don’t, and no, I can not check prices with my scanner. And just because you once worked in retail doesn’t mean you can tell me how to do my job. And I am not allowed to say who I work for, just that I do market research, so don’t get mad at me. And don’t mumble under your breath while walking away, I can still hear how mad you are that I am not helping you even after I explained why, over the store’s “muzak”. Whew….and when I do try to help you, at least say thank you. I am busy counting and remembering my job when you ask…”where do you keep your….”…well at home, it’s in my junk drawer but the store carries it in aisle 139X! lol….

Ok, I feel better now.

I still don’t have a menu plan. How about we just overdose on carbs? No? Really? I need to fit into the new capris I bought yesterday. I did give myself a treat of 3 small pieces of special dark chocolate after that day at the stores.

A vent and a rant…ignore if you wish…

I am getting awful tired of being invisible to a certain online community I frequent. I often post and very few participants seem to respond. It’s getting old. It’s like high school. One participant’s trips and life’s happenings gets all the attention while some of us just get ignored by the larger community. It’s just getting old. People are hurt by this kind of behavior. Unless you have some special situation that appeals to the board folks, they basically ignore you. I guess I fall into the boring life category for the most part. I am thankful for those who support and encourage me but come on! If I were so-and-so who was going to the Caribbean for vacation, there would be people all over her posts within minutes with all sorts of questions and help and suggestions for clothing, etc…but not mine. What gives?

I think I might just take a break from there and move on to other things in my life.
