Shopping. Shopping Shopping Shopping.

[twicketface]

Grocery shopping was on the agenda last night, so Marie and I headed over to and got our weekly needs of food fulfilled. String cheese and bagels topped my list of excitement. I also found mac and cheese frozen dinners with jalapenos in them. I lived on these about 6 months ago and then could no longer find them. For whatever reason they are back and I am joyed.

Spent the rest of the night playing on the computer and reading. Good times. More of the same for tonight. I’ll be stopping at JC Penney’s to look at winter coats. Apparently, they are having a 50% off sale for today only. Just my luck.

Work is going splendidly and I found out I’m not moving. This is a good thing. But rumors spread like herpes around here. It surprises me that some people have nothing better to do than spread speculation. Let’s grow up, people.

X-mas holiday party invites will be going out this week, which makes me uberhappy. I wrote up the directions last night and will be photocopying the maps this afternoon. I hope that these directions are better than the ones that went with the wedding invitations, because I sure caught hell for them afterwards. Nobody got lost, but I guess they were confusing. Oops.

I think I’ll have a memory to share in a bit, back from my days slaving for the Roast Beef Man, when I worked at Arby’s.

Materialist thought of the day:
How many people that live in our world would look upon your life and call you ‘rich’?

I really really really want to have a cameo photo appearance at the party.

all our man has to do is put some cardboard cutouts (hijacked from movie theatres, etc) or discarded mannequins in different places around the party locale, looking like they're doing party things. not only do they make for novel party decorations, but they make great proxies for people (friends or celebrities) to be added into party photos at a later time. the physical guests will be none the wiser, and will often pose with the proxies without prompting. or you can always impose two heads on one guest's body, like mr burns and homer.. but that usually works best for halloween parties.

what do i do? heh. good question. i'm a salesman for a moving company. i go to little old ladies and tell them we'll move all their furniture to florida for them, and that $10,000 isn't really too much to pay. it's heartless, but it's my family's business, so i give it my best shot even if it challenges my left wing ethics.

they also pay me to be a genius and solve problems like the one i just solved for you. =] would you believe i just came up with that off the top of my head? i'm going to do it at every party i ever have from now on, i like it so much.

sorry for the long post. see ya, kid.

Outstanding. I think that all of my LJ buddies will be making an appearance at the party. Mwahahahah. Maybe David Lee Roth could make an appearance too!

My aunt does the same thing (moving, mostly for relocated employees) and I've heard it's a pretty good gig. And I can understand the ties to the family.

::does mr burns fingertip touchy thing::

excellent.

it is a good gig. i was doing the actual labor for about two years, so i really know the business.

however, its the family issue that really sticks in my gut. seeing what the world is offering all of us right now, especially in light of what i feel is my ability to see through the curtain, as it were... i really don't want to abandon them.

so do i choose to save my family or the world?

okay. this is your journal. i'll stop. and i'll see you all at the party. =]

ps: just what the hell is the trust game?

I think you should do what you think is best, family is important but saving the world is much sexier. Proceed with caution.

The trust game is when one person stands behind another. The front person 'trusts' that the person behind them will catch them when they fall back, thus 'earning' their trust. You might remember the Simpsons episode where Marge and Homer go on the marriage retreat, whereas Homer goes fishing instead of fixing their marriage.

Marge turns to Reverend Lovejoy and says something to the effect of "Do I still have to do this?" and Lovejoy replys with something to the effect of "No, even if Homer was here I'd advise against it".

Ha.
