Dangerously Low Level TP

 This is not my story, it is Bossmans, but I do believe it is true. Because I know Dan, and the things he says and I can see this happening. I asked bossmans permission in telling his story on my blog and was told it was fine, its to strange/funny not to share.

 Dan is a regular customer, he comes in 2-3 times a week most weeks. He lives in an apartment near by and walks to the grocery store to get cereal and cat food and just get out. When he is done, he will stop in to our store, for some soda, and to cool off, warm up, or just be away from his house I suppose.

 Dan is simple. I am not sure what, exactly is wrong with him, but he's not all there. He comes in and asks very politely for a diet coke. He will drink diet coke upon diet coke while watching TV (flipping channels if he's allowed the remote) and several times, upwards of 20 on occasion he will excuse himself to use the bathroom. He is normally in there for a while. Customers have had to use the ladies room, because Dan has been hogging  the mens so long.

 So I guess a few nights ago, Dan let bossman know that the TP in the men's room was getting low. Bossman went in there later (after things were clear) and there was a good amount. For a man's restroom it was a very good amount, and would last about 2 weeks or so. The roll was not changed.

 Well then last night Dan came in. His normal routine of diet cokes and bathroom breaks. I guess after his first bathroom break Dan went to get Bossman, "Excuse me sir, but your toilet paper in the Men's bathroom is getting dangerously low" he insisted. Bossman looked and there was still enough to last a while, being that it is a men's room and they only wipe now and again.... Later when Dan excused himself to go use the restroom, he bypassed the mens room and the dangerously low level of TP and opted to go in the ladies room where apparently the levels were less of a risk.



 This just makes me wonder what Dan would think of Dollar Generals "compare to scotts" brand Toilet paper? I bet he would have considered it "dangerously thin" I know I did.

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

 Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress.  So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless.  So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
