It’s been a while since I blogged, got a little catching up to do. First, the division-wide picnic last week went well – though it was a lot of work to set-up. The rented grill was the worst – lots of waiting around for it to be delivered and then picked up. But, everyone seemed to have a good time and the food was pretty good. We even tried making smores with various degrees of success.<\/p>\n

Work has been extra busy, lots of stuff coming at me every day. We’re supposed to be getting some help – but it’s not going to get here before the start of school. So, we stay busy.<\/p>\n

Couple days ago I went to the grocery store to get some. It was late afternoon and only two regular lanes were open – one of which closed as I approached it. So, instead of the long line, I went to the self checkout. If I’ve only got a few items, it’s not too bad, but I would really rather not deal with the potential hassle of a defective bar code. Anyway, I’m doing the self check out and use my debit card. A quick pin number and a receipt and I’m on my way. I no sooner get out the door when the clerk runs out after me. “Hey,” he says, “you gotta sign this,” as he waves a charge slip. I start to follow him back in and tell him – “I used my debit card,” We get to his counter and he says, “But you were right over there,” “No,” I tell him with a tired shake of my head, “I was over there,”
I pointed to the correct location and he said, “oh,”<\/p>\n

I turned around and left while he tried to chase someone else down. I mean, really, he’s got 4 stations to watch and I could accuratly describe the 2 other groups that were there – and it’s not even my job. Thus, I was annoyed.<\/p>\n

The comic strip has slowed to a stop, but I’m going to try and make some updates at lunch time today.<\/p>\n

Finally, a made a big folding push last night and made 75 origami boxes in one sitting. I should have the rest of this project down in a couple of days. At least the folding part, I’ll still have to put things together – but that’s a whole ‘nuther project.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now – gotta get back to work…<\/p>\n
