Happy President's Day!
Today my shift ended with a teenage girl coming up to me crying, "I just threw up in the breakroom," and indeed she had. So I grabbed a mop and floor sanitizer and cleaned up the mess.
And that's probably what it's like to be President.

The Gatekeeper of Opportunity...
...someone, change the locks!
One of the great things about my job is that I get to interview kids applying for their first job ever. Which is usually a courtesy clerk or cashier. It's fun to talk to them, they're usually a little bit nervous, and shy. A lot of them don't have any previous job history, so it's neat to find out what they're all about and give them a chance.
Yesterday, I interviewed a 16 year old kid who applied to be a courtesy clerk. He came in and told me that he makes good grades, is on the debate team in high school, and is in the ROTC program at school. An unusual combination for an applicant. I told him I'd give him a shot to see how it works out, even though I knew a lot of people similar to him in college...

Treating Y'all Like You're a Joughon...
I was just looking over my Itunes list and noticed that in the last 6 songs I downloaded that 3 of them are in the "pop" genre. Which, if any of you know me very well, is unexpected.
The list includes:
Dancing Queen, Abba
Golden Years, David Bowie
Poinciana, The Four Freshmen
Crazy, Gnarls Barkley
Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, KT Tunstall
Suddenly I See, KT Tunstall
I normally don't share my musical indulgences with anyone other than my Joughon, but I thought I'd open up a little bit.
As for Autumn, she seems to be enjoying Kung Fu Fighting, YMCA, Struggle (by Ringside), and Vertigo (U2).
