Didn't Really Expect That

Wow!  I did not know what this movie was about really.  All I heard was that it is about a robot that helps and older man, sort of like a health aide, and the relationship they develop and that it was good.  No spoilers here is that is was so much more than that and just turned out to be such a creative movie.  I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it.  I know this a crap review but it is not meant to be a review - just a post that this movie caught me utterly by surprise, was fantastic and I highly recommend it!

Getting on My Nerves

I am getting nervous about my part time job.  I start training this Saturday and it is all I can think about.  It has been so long since I have done retail or worked with the general public.  Plus I want this to work out.  It will so help me.  I always want to do good but now I really do.  And I want to look good and not like a schlep.  I am going to give this my all but will be dying inside.  I get it all the time - people think I am a very calm and relaxed person but I am not.  I worry so much and so often.  Maybe because the worry just turns into get it done and I know that I can.  Maybe it is because I don't have panic attacks or that I can control my nerves without medications.  I just keep telling myself it is just a part time job.  It will help.   It will be awesome.  It will be fine.  And if it does not work out it will not be the end of the world.  Right??? Right!

Let's Give It a Whirl

Long story short I got that part time job I was trying for and I start training on this Saturday.  It won't put me on Easy St but it will put me back in the game.  After the interview today I was thinking perhaps something will pan out in the fall.  I was specifically told by the interviewer that there were no positions open and that they were just talking to candidates so they could be ready when it get busier in the fall.  I was not pleased with this but decided I would still give the interview my all.  My interview ended at 1pm and I figured that at least I made a little more in road than before so that it was good.  At 5pm the interviewer called me and said that a part time position opened up and I could have it if I wanted.  Would be a couple shifts a week and a foot in the door.  I will be in men's wear.  I said, "Sure, sounds perfect".  So I will go and give it my all.  I might not get them all moved in one day but I am moving mountains folks and I will just keep at it everyday until I get exactly where I want.  So for today I am feeling one less hill in my way.  Yay,

Damn - How Did I Miss This?

Last Friday was National Donut Day? And the proceeds benefited the Salvation Army?  Two of my favorite things - how could I miss that?  Oh well I have chunky buns so no need to buy more.  And I already donate plenty to the Salvation Army.  I am going to mark my calendar.  Perhaps next year.

Collage

OOOH I was playing around with my tablet and look what I made.  Pretty rudimentary but it is giving me all sorts of great ideas.  Let's see what I can do with this.

Here We Go Again

Well at Christmas time I applied at a major department store retailer hoping to make some extra cash.  It did not pan out because they were not organized but they said to try later in the new year.  I was so annoyed that they wasted my time and very mad.  I am not sure I posted about it but boy was pissed and disappointed.  Well I saw they had a posting again so I have applied and have another interview this Monday.  I do not want to write their name as it is not appropriate but I will go and give it my all and see how it turns out.  Money is on the right track for me and I am feeling good about but a steady part time job will help even that much more so fingers crossed, although I am not too hopeful.  With any luck their registers will look like this one as I think I can manage that.  

Aunt Lulu

Every so often, and more than you would think, while at the Salvation Army I come across a couple shelves of clown items, mostly figurines.  Well this happened again last week.  The sight of so many creepy clowns normally tweaks me out but I saw this chalkware clown and kinda thought he was ok.  His hand is a little wonky but you know I like those damaged guys.  So I picked him up and could not stop thinking that poor Aunt Lulu must have passed away and her heirs did not quiet see the same value in her clown collection as she did, so it wound up donated.  This guy is from the 1950's by a company called Norleans.  He is a bank still with his plug in place so he now sits in Jesmond Dene and will come in handy if I keep raking in eBay dough.

I know I write a lot about the Salvation Army finds lately but it is the most exciting thing going on as of late.  I did really well in the past two weeks and made $300, thanks to that Burberry score.  It is all perfect timing as I had to get a smog last week and an oil change.  Next is paying my car registration.  So it is good to take care of all those things with the extra money I made.  I will still try though to see if I can come out with stories about other things.
