Wacky Winter Weather

In October...I cannot remember (other than Ohio near Erie) ever living anywhere when the first snow came so early. It's almost bizarre, surreal, but we are supposed to get anywhere from 4-10 inches of the wet cold stuff. I am appreciating that I live a short mile to work now. Driving down 51 was at times a nightmare, depending on which county did or did not feel like plowing.

In other news, my horoscope made me laugh for a bit...so very Not me.

Take a look inside your closet today, and count the items you never wear. Then see how many of those unwearable pieces of clothing were impulse purchases. And then keep all those closet-bound outfits in mind when you see something that you just 'have to have' at the mall. Think about all the money you'd have now if you had resisted spending it on trendy items that went out of style way too soon.

I gave the Good Will almost all of my clothes that had been accumulated over 12 years or longer.( when I had to move.) I have absolutely Nothing trendy in my closet.( and nothing stored anywhere else..just one small closet) I cannot afford to shop, and cannot remember the last time I bought clothes for myself at a mall...could have been around Michelle's wedding, but I think that's it. I don't like the newer styles, maybe old fartdom in action, but really they do not look good on me, classic styles do. And let's face it, they are charging more for things and using less material to make them..hold up an old t-shirt and a new one, you can see your hand through the new one. It will last at best a few months of wear..where as the old one keeps on ticking.

My last clothes purchase was at Good Will. I spent 6 dollars and bought one sweater and one shirt. Lol..and my manager tried to buy my $3 dollar shirt for $50,I would have sold it to her, but the shirt was too small across her shoulders.

Work was interesting but fast last night, short on the crew, so double duty as Podium and Control and Dual Rate Supervisor, and winding up on the Slot Pull from 430a-7a. Had a new report for me, Alleged Theft, and one cooperative walk out..boy he was really out there.

I am hoping I see more action tonight..I think I becoming addicted to it, because I enjoy it so much. Found my niche at last? I am not sure, but I hope so. It sure is nice to go to work looking forward to it. If the snow does not keep folks away it should be a good night. (that includes employees..sigh)

Catch ya later..
