Oh - just checked my fortune! Good thing ich kann Deutsch lesen.

Worrying. Chris had to go out of town this morning. He promised to call when he got there - he didn't. I'm assuming that means he was running late enough for his appointment that he didn't have time to call; which alone is worrying enough. Now the earliest I can expect to hear from him is an hour and a half from now - and I'm not even certain on that time frame, it could be up to three and a half hours - when he's supposed to be finished and heading home. Yeah, I'm a worrywart.

don't be, things will come good .....

Depending on how they implement it, it could end up making me work longer shifts, too. It's kind of a toss-up.

As Chris says, the place IS daft.
it is amazing that someone at a grocery store could be power trippin' so hard. they must have a truly small and empty life

Well, the girl was barely 21 - the personality change was truly frightening from when she was a cashier to when she was service desk.

My sister was totally hooked on the book when it came out. I think it was her first book she ever read without being talked into it. She slept with the book, took it to school and read it whenever she could. It got so that she could recite from it.

I ended up having 'Auryn' made for her. She still thinks it's the best present she ever got. Well, as we say in German "selbst ein blindes Huhn findet ein Korn" (even a blind chicken can find a seed).

I was about to do the same. Then I did, and it was one of those moments.

Well - I spent the morning looking for my cat - I'm supposed to put tetramycin drops in her eye twice a day. She vanished after eating her breakfast - couldn't find her before I had to leave for work. Obviously I will have to barter food for eye drops. It's going to be a fun weekend.
