Woo. If I miss a few days coming to Prose Box I miss a ton of stuff. It's like you guys are making up for lost time on OD. I had like seventeen new entries to read! I need to stay more on top of things I guess.
I've made it to the production floor at work. My manager is nice and helpful and so is my team. I'm a lot less stressed out now that I'm on the floor. There's some callers that still throw me for a loop, either because they're really mean or because they had really complicated issues for me to sort out, but I get through it. I just go in and do the best job I can do.
My Sunday day off I went into Dollar Tree to confront Bev the Bear Lady, my former Dollar Tree customer that I haven't seen in two years that was really really fond of me. As soon as she saw me she created this enormous scene in the middle of the store. People were staring. She shrieked like a banshee, and then started yelling, "Josh! Where have you been? The children have been asking about you!!" specifically to make the situation even more ridiculous for the other customers. While that was funny, the conversation that followed wasn't. I didn't realized just how attached to me Bev was. I hadn't contacted her since I moved because she isn't online and I felt awkward about calling her when we really didn't have a friendship outside of the store. I was really uncomfortable by how very attached she had become and still is. She's also having some really terrible health problems. She's been having mini strokes, and her carotid is blocked. I hope she's able to get the medical help that she needs.
I managed to get away because I had a lunch to go to. Mark and his wife and infant met me for lunch at a nice Mexican restaurant. It was nice to visit with them, but almost all focus was on the child.
Today on my day off I went to the gym, stopped by Goodwill, and went to the bookstore for a new thing they're doing there. Every now and then Mark, the guy that works there, will have people come in to listen to him read short stories out loud while we work on personal craft projects. I went in for the first meeting and no one else showed up. So I crocheted and Mark read me two stories by Mark Twain that I enjoyed. It was awesome.
I also finally got to see Gravity tonight. I wish I had been able to see it in the theater, but it was still fantastic. I was a nervous wreck through the whole thing.
Tomorrow? I'm not sure. I'll start out with the gym, then probably come home and play WOW and do laundry. I think me and the girls from work are still getting together for a crochet group tomorrow evening, but I'll check in with them to make sure tomorrow.
Anyway, that's what I've been up to for the most part:)
