catch (part 2 a)

so i just wanted to do a quick turkey day update, mostly cause my mom set out his gorgeous centerpiece thingy and i just had to share. she made me take the picture. isn't that cute!

we were all at dinner and for some reasonmy mom remembered that she used to volunteer at my school (when i was in kindergarten mind you) and they used to screen kinds for motor skills (i'm sure i failed miserably) and hearing and all that. and she told us a story at dinner after turkey about a little girl she screened. she had asked the ittle girl what her name was ad the girl wouldn't talk and wouldn't talk and wouldn't and my mom was tryin gto make her laugh and all kinds of stuff but she wouldn't even crack a smile. my mom was starting to think there was somehting wrong with the kid, and finally mom asked her what her mommy calls her and she said "puuuuuunkinnnnn" and this being in texas all those extra vowels were totally expected.

hogwarts sock swap (year 1)

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
