It's Halloween. And raining! Bah - go rain up in Big Bear, ya dumb bunnies!

I had Jim bring home a set of scrubs from the hospital. How easy could that be? I'll be in costume -AND- comfortable.

It also means I have to put my hair up. I think I have some bobby pins. This is going to be interesting.

We have enough on payday to pay what's outstanding with very little left over. Think gas for the cars over - that's it.

llamajoy has posted a Kingdom Hearts Halloween ficlet - ghad, I love her stuff. Either she or her partner, tenshi_no_korin. It's like getting a present.

I have my books ready for trick or treaters tonight (not a lot of them, but I have no idea what to expect) - and Google today is just too cute.

Tomorrow is our second wedding anniversary.

Some dumbass thinks all these fires are the work of Al Quaeda - *rolls eyes* - whatever. Gimme a break. It's someone who hates Republicans, that's for sure. julesong is in Texas and says they have some of our smoke there - yeah, that's the work of terrorists.

I needed protection from pr0n?

I'm downloading .avi files I have no chance of hell of seeing until the new computer gets here.

Albertsons is running buy-one-get-one-free and free turkey ads. Ralphs has 4lbs of Gala Apples for a buck. Time to send more faxes - uh, it's the STRIKE, stupid.

I could go my whole life without stepping into another Albertsons or Ralphs. I really could. Hate them. Hiss.

joggingguy, the house next door is for sale. Be my neighbor. Please.

Gotta go braid hair now. Bye.

Gee I thought the price breaks might also be due to not having to pay such a large workforce with all the benefits. I'm just of the mindset that grocery workers have been rude to me for YEARS as well as well paid and its still a job that any kid out of high school could learn in a week.

In this town, we've got a choice of Publix (which is like Jewel or Kroegers), Kash 'n Karry (cheap place, never buy produce there), and Albertsons.

Other than the old people who seem to defy death by bagging my groceries, I like Albertsons.

The parking lots at the stores I pass on my way to work are empty -

Rude? I remember listening to my friend Terri, who worked for Finast in Cleveland for a long spell - the abuse she took off customers was incredible. Her reward for three years service? Her drawer was off $4 one day and she was fired on the spot.

There is no excuse for abuse - and it's not nice when it happens to you - but if you consider the source, no surprise there.

I just fielded a call from an irate customer and after researching the problem, found it entirely out of my purview to resolve. That doesn't mean I get mean and cranky. But if that's the kind of call I got, one after another, for 12 hours a day - I'd not be fit for human consumption either.

Hon, there are a lot of people out there who never get past high school, intelligence-wise. And I have no problem paying them a decent wage so they (or their kids) don't turn to something else to survive our economy, You don't get rich working grocery - but you don't go broke, either.

I had two instances of customer service "abuse" related to purchasing money orders at Albertsons - the last was so embarassing and stupid, I swore off them for life.

Jim tells me about Schnooks in the midwest - I about fell off my chair.

Check out Netgrocer - believe it or not, I've found them cheaper on a lot of stuff than the grocery stores around here, shipping included.

And I can get Stubb's BBQ sauce from Texas, which nobody out here stocks.

Yeah, but will the house burn down before I get there? :-)

Not unless they set fire to Downtown LA first.

I'm also only 15 minutes from the ocean. A definite perk!
