Manic...Saturday?! o.0

I dunno...I kept thinking today was Saturday.  lol  *shrugs*  I haven't had a day off in...forever...so the days are just running amok!  ;-p

I opened.  Cindy got there about 8:45.  I got her filled in on everything she needed to look at/do/take care of.  I was supposed to be at Karen's at 9:15 (& she actually called to check on me...lol) but I didn't get there til 9:30 (cuz of settling Cindy into a workable groove with her Frankenstein-esque peg leg...lol.  It's not REALLY a peg leg but she can't bend it at all so...you get the idea!  ;-p

Karen & I watched several of the training videos.  I must say...they were super cheesy.  They're webinars recorded of a woman going through stills on a Power Point type thing (though they were extremely amateurish--one of them...her dog was barking in the background while she talked!)  Seriously?!  lol  BUT...they did point a couple of facets out to us.  One was how to create the departments, etc before starting to input inventory.  The 2nd was a question raised about our hook up to Ingram.  So it was worth it.  AND...her 2 adorable kitties were my 2 best friends most of the time I was there!  ;-)

I got back to work at 12:15.  I created a rough-draft semblance of a plan-o-gram for our departments & stuff & shot off an email about the Ingram issue.  I also got an email back from Tom telling me the missing codecs to run the videos at the store & installed it on the 2 main computers.  The laptop still won't run them.  No idea!!  Grr!!  ;-p  I haven't tried mine yet.  The rest of the day was spent taking care of customers, doing inventory for tomorrow's order, etc.  I wasn't expecting Cindy to stay all day!  But she, Claire & I closed.

Cindy has her follow-up dr appointment at 8:45 tomorrow morning & then she'll come to work.  It'll just be me & her (unless Karen shows up).  Kelli might come in during the afternoon so I can leave early.  Cindy can't close by herself yet.  She can't move around enough to bring the carts in from outside & do all the walking to turn off lights & a/c in all the rooms.

After work, I went to Manda's for dinner.  She made stuffed pork tenderloin, asparagus gratin & red potatoes.  :-)  I was really enjoying the pork til I bit down on something crunchy (gristle or bone--no idea) but  I had to force myself to finish it after that.  lol  I have a MASSIVE gag reflex when it comes to meat & those 2 issues!  ;-p  Me, her & Dan sat out on the patio for a while after dinner, just shooting the shit.  Dan made a comment that he really likes it when I come over.  lol  I'm his favorite friend of Amanda's...hahahahahaha!  And he misses me when I don't come around often enough!  *snickers*  I thought it was CUTE!  ;-)

But I hafta say...my...DUH...moment of the evening was THIS:  


Saw it on FB by a girl I used to be really good friends with many eons ago.  She STILL lives in the podunk, 1-horse, never was anything-never will be anything, black hole/abyss, backwards, redneck, Bible-Thumping Southern Arkansas town I grew up in.  This is her 16 year old son & his birthday present truck.  CAN YOU SAY REDNECK MUCH?!?!  OMFG...are you kidding me?!  Bad enough that truck doesn't just SCREAM redneck...but for a 16 year old?!  Just...wow...lol!!  I can't even begin to tell you how GLAD I am that I was able to escape that place!  I'd seriously slit my wrists if I ever had to live there again...

Yeah, I blacked his face out.  After all, it's not MY picture to post...& he IS only 16!  Ugh...but still...it totally made me cringe...so I HAD to share!  *smirks*
