Loooooooooooooooonnnnngggg day........

very very very busy at work today... I don't know why, but today the lines at the checkouts were as long as they were in the weeks before Christmas... Lots of stocking up for the Super bowl tomorrow maybe?

Whatever the case, I was back and forth between the self checkouts and zoning my department today, fine and dandy. I took two Advil Liqui-caps when I got to work, and my back was feeling better then it had for the last couple of weeks. CSM's have been putting me on the door or self-checkouts sitting down, so my back would get a rest.

That lasted until Asst. Josh told me to go up front on 18 (which is a speedy checkout). I was up there for about 20 minutes, before my back started killing me again. It felt like there was a stone in the bottom of my spine, and it quickly escalated to the point it felt like it was going to give out on me. CSM Kris went flying by, and I told her "Please put me on a self-checkout, my back is going to give out!" She actually heard me in her running state, and right away told me to shut off my light and go over to the GM self-checkouts. She understands, and so do the rest of the CSM's, why don't management? Do they lose the compassionate gene when they hit the big time? (Well, as big of the big time as being management at Wal*Mart can be anyway!)

I was on the GM s.c. from 5-6:05, when I realized that I wasn't going to get my last break if I didn't remind them. So I patiently waited for the code to go through the register to tell them. Well, no surprise when that didn't work!!! So by the time Asst. Josh came over, it was 6:20 and I told him I wanted my break! Of course, I still didn't get it until 6:45... Ah well... someday they will not have me there, and I will rejoice at never stepping foot into a building occupied by the super-retail giant again!

I bought myself the most gorgeous pair of dress shoes tonight after work, as a small gift to myself. They came in, and I thought they would go so wonderfully with my red dress! They are like Cinderella strappy shoes. I slipped one on, and it fit perfectly! I didn't even have to adjust the strap at all. Woohoo!!! I know, I know, just what you're thinking.... You were just thinking that I need yet another pair of shoes!! I'll have to take a picture tomorrow and post it.. they are sooo pretty!! Sparkly silver, small heel and strappy! I think I deserve small purchases like that every so often...

Came home, and fed the munchkins their new diet of canned pet food. Midnight seems to be feeling much better, she's much skinnier then she used to be still.. but she is climbing on EVERYTHING!! In the middle of the night, she has taken to the habit of knocking things off of shelves and acting like a kitten again. That's how I know she's feeling better. Doesn't make for much restful sleep for me however.

I got to talk to Jeff TWICE before my shower, and that was wonderful. I love that man so much!! I thought I was going to be able to talk to him online after my shower, but apparently he has fallen asleep again, because he is nowhere to be found. I think I will have to make an appointment of sorts with him for tomorrow evening, so that I can talk to him on messenger!

I've been trying to 'rip' my CDS to my computer recently, and it is definitely taking a LONG time... I have been doing it at least for a few weeks, and am only on the 'I's. ICP's 'Amazing Jeckel Brothers', to be exact. Five more tracks of that one to rip. I am also taking them out of my CD book, and putting them back into cases. My book is falling apart, and I'd rather have all my music on my computer where I listen to it the most anyway. The CDS will become backup copies, and fill my shelves once more.

I am getting very very tired, so I think I will be heading to bed as soon as I post this, and the CD finishes ripping. It has been a very long day, and I want to fall into lala-land soon.

Good night dear reader.
