Here it is my first day off! I woke up like normal. I was up way too late last night to be up like normal. Hey wait a minute... I am on vacation... I can... I can go back to bed if I wanna...
So yesterday I lassoed my other boss, the one who really runs my store. I had the same discussion with her that I had with her DH on Monday. Sigh. She said they didn't want me to pay them the $18 and that my wanting to do so was "going above and beyond the call of duty"... Ummm no dear, it is just doing the right thing...She said I had been going above and beyond since they first hired me... I have? Seems to me I was just doing my job. In the end I convinced her that I would not take no for an answer and she agreed to accept. Sheesh. She did say one or 2 things that kind of bother me. The first was, "no one else would think to pay it back"... ummm... ok so just because the majority would not man up and take responsibility, I shouldn't??? Then when I asked her, if I broke your window would you not want me to fix it. She said, no I would just write it off on the insurance... ummm I have no words. I get that they are considerate. However seeing as we hire mostly college and high school kids, I am not sure giving then a thump on the head and "just learn from this and don't do it again" speech is doing them a favor...
In other news, thanks to Klutzymama I have begun to search for old shows online. I have so far found Gilligan's Island and the Andy Griffith show. The GI is in order and I can pick and choose what to watch, I am starting at the beginning. I saw the never aired pilot Wednesday. Last night while MJ went into the future with Star Trek Next Gen. I went back to Mayberry. Though that site has no way for me to tell what order the shows are in.
Next I will look for the Dick Van Dyke show. I love him and his son Barry in.... Oh man now I forgot... ooooo yes Diagnosis Murder. I like the old shows with Mary Tyler Moore too. My friend Cat had a blog post about one of their skits last week.
Do you ever want to get something, but do not wish to spend the money? I commented to Beloved last night that Avenue has a blouse I want for $15, a Sweater (would be a main jacket in cool weather) for $15 and a skirt for $35 that I really like. he said and you have not gotten them... I just can not seem to spend the money, the sweater is sort of a need, the other 2 are just wants.
For the skirt I plan to check goodwill today, I also have an idea for aprons using old clothes...I did splurge yesterday on some red and silver jewelry. I do not buy jewelry usually. Beloved likes me to wear it but I rarely do. I am wanting to put together a really eye catching blue and red out fit for our anniversary. I know he has something special planned and part of my gift to him will be dressing up with jewelry.
Man this ramble is longer than most!
I hope you all enjoy your Friday!
Have a wonderful vacation and Happy Anniversary !

I love all of the shows you mentioned. Andy is my favorite, of course and I also really love Leave It To Beaver. The Dick Van Dyke show was always a family favorite as well. They just don't make shows like they used to...
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
