Hi Anne!

Danielle, Shelly and I are going to Kennywood Amusement Park today (Wed) Yeah!  I’m meeting my friend, Dana out there.  That should be a lot of fun.  I haven’t been to Kennywood in so long.  ANd I love roller coasters.  I’ll drag someone on the coasters with me!

I love pasta too!  Yummy!  Well, I’m Italian.  It’s a given that I love pasta!  Yes, I’m the type of gal who enjoys my food.  I can’t stand that some people worry about every little morsel that they put in their mouths.  "Oooh, how many grams of fat does this have?  How many calories does that have?"  Oh, just shut up and eat the frickin thing!  God made food for our pleasure, not our punishment!

I have a question for ya (this applies to when I was working at both ***** and now *****)- Why is it that you can be not busy practically all day long, but  about 1/2 hour before you close, that’s when everyone and their mother comes in?  That’s so annoying!  These two ladies and their kids were in there last night looking at cards.  The door was locked, Shelly was running the vacuum, you’d think someone get the hint?  I was just about to walk over to them and tell them to "hustle their buns" when the one lady walks up to the counter and asked Wendy, "Are you closing now?"  Duh!!   Another thing that annoys me.  When we open in the morning and there’s people waiting at the door!  I mean, Hello!?  The store isn’t going anywhere!  It’s even more annoying when people rattle the door or knock on it before we open.  Sorry, pal, we open at 10, and not a moment sooner.  There is nothing in our store that anyone urgently needs.

That reminds me of a funny ***** story.  I was working express in the morning.  Well. we had the "out" door unlocked so the employees could get in.  Anyway, it was about 10 minutes before we opened and this lady opens the out door and peeks her head in.  Joanne (my boss) informed her that we weren’t opened yet.  Wacky Lady says:  "I need to get something!  It’s an emergency!"  She sounded really desperate.  Joanne finally relented and she let the lady in.  Since I already had my drawer counted, I rang her up.  Do you know what she so "urgently"  needed to buy that she couldn’t wait ten minutes for the store to open?  Popsicicles!!!  Did she think we were going to have a popsicicle rush at exactly nine o’clock? 

Counting meat would sound gross. And pig ears?!  Double gross!  I like meat, but only when it’s cooked.  Yummy!  The one lady I work with, Mary is a vegetarian too.  I’ll bring in frozen dinners to eat during my break and when I eat chicken or turkey, she’ll say, "Oh, God, feathers!"

I haven’t e-mailed Carie yet about that N’ Sync question.  I asked Danielle about it and she has no idea.  I’m still lost about it!

Yeah, I was pretty brave when I rose my hand for the free movie passes.  But I figured that, hell, there are mostly teenagers in here, am I really going to be intimidated by a bunch of teenagers?

Hope you did good on your test!  When will you know what your score is?  I was always a pretty good test taker.  Usually made Bs.  With the exception of my History class where I had to cheat just to get a C!
