Can I just say, I love working with elderly people. Today after helping one patron order 3 books, she rummaged in her purse and pulled out an individually wrapped Creme Saver. Somehow, I get the impression she does this regularly! I've been inspired!

It's actually not that bad. My actual job is listed as #8. I find #7 pretty amusing seeing as how I don't wear make-up, but I suppose that doesn't mean I couldn't put it on other people...
We're having "purple day" at work next Friday, because our company color is, you guessed it - purple. So this means we should not only wear purple, but be creative in how we do so. Naturally, I'm on the hunt for purple shoes. A few years ago I actually had a pair of 10-eye purple Dr. Martens, but they were a bit on the small side, so I eventually got rid of them. Earlier today, I was regretting that decision, until I found these:
There's a really nice girl who works in an area of the building near me, and she always says hi, but she thinks my name is Wendy. I don't have the heart to tell her it's Whitney. I never see her for more than a few seconds at a time, so I figure it's okay. Though, if someone eventually corrects her, that could be embarrassing...
However, I think this situation is marginally better than my sophomore year of high school when one of the peer counselors called me "Courtney" for about 2 months because I was too shy to correct him.
At least "Wendy" is close...

And that's about it, because I live just a few blocks away from my favorite taqueria, which supplies everything else!
I have a job! A real job! No more contracting! I signed an offer on Friday!
Today is my first day of work as a real employee.
Now if I could just get rid of this badge that says "CONTRACTOR" in big red letters, I'd feel even better.
I have been persuaded to join the Relay for Life event in August at Skyline High School.

We're fun people and at least one team member will be celebrating a birthday, so
there will most likely be cake or cupcakes or something else really excellent to help
us pass the time.
At work, my group is in their own little room, but we're next to the sales training team. Who do training. So they provide food for the trainees. Lots of food. Guess what they do with the leftovers? They put it in the kitchen. Free food for the taking!
About half an hour ago, there was stuffed french toast, sausage, and bacon. I am not kidding when I tell you that I RAN to the kitchen. Because, Hello! Bacon!
I'm going to gain 10 pounds while working here.
This is the only one of those myspace memes I have found worth reposting. And rather than keep it just for me and those in my circle, I'm posting it for the world to see. Who knew these things could be so accurate??

It's true, kids. Go to it.
It's another edition of "The Shoes I Am Wearing Today".
I found these first on a clearance rack at Macy's. The clerk couldn't find the mate to it in my size. So naturally, I went to the interwebs the first chance I got, and found them at zappos and online shoes. I ended up ordering this style (chunk change) and a similar style (slam chunk) that was more of a slide than a strappy sandal from online shoes.
Here's where I have to digress for a moment and say that online shoes may have better sales and prices sometimes, but are inferior to zappos in other ways. Shipping can sometimes take forever, and returns are not free. Exchanges are, but not returns.
The sandals I ordered? They took almost 2 weeks to get here. Regan ended up finding the same sandals at DSW for 40% off. So she bought them for me while she was there one night. If she hadn't done that, I wouldn't be wearing them today.
And I am indeed wearing them today, and they are comfortable! The sole is a little bit narrow, and that took some getting used to, but no feet pain what so ever. No pinching of the pinky toe, no heel pains, just comfortable feet. I think I have finally found sandals that are not too dressy, but not too casual. Hopefully they'll hold up for a summer or two.
