Houston…We have a Problem
I won’t be going to Puyallup to go to shul this Saturday–for various reasons. I barely made it last week, because I was scheduled to work; so I had to find someone to work that shift (I did find someone, fortunately). Unfortunately, I am scheduled to work on Saturday the 9th–so early in the morning that I’m not likely to find anyone willing. And for what? The blasted shift is only a few measely hours! Well, a bunch of people did just get hired on, but still–I don’t like having my hours cut. Neither does Imah. She’s talking about having me look for work elsewhere. The only problem is, I’m getting attached to some of my co-workers. I’d really miss them (my old self would SO be scoffing at that–Imah would too).
My only hope (for now, anyway) is the snow. While others may call in to say they can’t make it, I will not be deterred. Today, for instance, I was asked to come in early because some people couldn’t make it. I got extra hours because of it! That’s what I’m talking about. Bring on the snow!!
Other than its favoring me with extra hours, I have little regard for snow anymore. It’s pretty when it falls; it’s pretty when it settles; but, after having a dog for several years, I just can’t trust the stuff unless it’s above my waist. I abhor walking on it–who knows what revolting substances might lie below waiting to stick to the bottom of my shoe? Besides, it’s cold. I think I’ve finally discovered that I’m more intolerant of cold than of heat. I think I’ll get a winter home in Arizona. That sounds nice.
Another problem with snow: it’s slippery (my work shoes have extrememly little traction). Oh yeah–snow makes people act…strange.
Farewell for now. Perhaps I’ll blog again tomorrow.
