....just like a woman po-ssessed! in A New Beginning

Our new boss Jane unleashed a demon when she told us that, instead of our usual royal blue uniform tops, we can wear holiday or seasonal-print uniform tops ANY DAY THAT WE WANT TO. This has excited me to no end! So rest assured, this is a very harmless and happy demon, probably extremely beneficial to the uniform industry. I might need a bigger closet to hold all the new uniform tops I’m sure to buy! But on the other hand, maybe I’ll just throw out all my other clothes and wear festive scrubs everywhere I go. I like the looks of them and they’re comfy and cool. :o)
I am starting to like Jane. Actually, I liked Jane before she became our manager, but then came a time when I intensely DISliked Jane. This uniform policy is the best thing. The fact that I am having to do a lot fewer “chores” now, and thus have more time to do my actual job of preparing food, is another. I don’t remember the last time I took boxes to the recycle bin! And LOTS of mornings, somebody else is folding the laundry. I can let morning pans accumulate in the dishroom and know that SOMEONE, NOT ME, will eventually do them!! When Sophia was the boss, it was amazing how every chore in the place would pile up until I did it. Oooooh, that used to piss me off! I’m pissed off less. It’s a good thing.
So finally it’s the weekend! And tomorrow I am actually going on an outing with the rarely-seen sister Sandy. I think she is sad about something. Her son Michael hasn’t been over in awhile longer than usual. He has a different job now and might be busier. I hope he comes over soon, though. I know she misses him. But maybe going someplace tomorrow will help cheer her up.
I’m proud of myself! I volunteered to do something I’ve never done before! I am going to help at a Food Drive on November 4th. I invited my work friend Sheila, and she’s going to do it too! This will also be the first time I’ve done something with Sheila outside of work. We’re both going to retire in a few years and I’d hate to lose touch with her completely, so this could be a step toward taking our work friendship to an outside-of-work friendship.
Anyhow....it’s 2 a.m. and I’ve been up for awhile. It’s time for me to go back to bed. G’night! ;o)
