I am feeling a bit better, thank you very much. The sore throat is now coughing and a very liquidy snot...a lot of it. I may wear the neti-pot out soon. If you have never used one, I suggest trying it out. Seems weird, but it flushes the crap out of the sinuses, if you are able to access them. (If one nostril is totally plugged, it really doesn't help that much) Catch it when you can muster air through both sides.

So today, I was frustrated at work, soley because I really do not have patience for some people. Little old ladies, whom think they are doing us a favor, by spending 5 minutes going through a coin purse, to find "exact" change. I don't mind that when I am not busy, but sometimes, I just want to scream at them.

A teenage kid comes and buys 2 items off the dollar menu, then asks for a water cup. I watch him pour a soda into that cup, and then I call his number, his order is ready. He asks me, where is my sundae? I say, well, you didn't pay for that soda, so I figured we are even. the couple I was waiting on at the time, laughed their asses off, and said good for me for not taking that crap.

The guy who comes in, talking on his bluetooth, very loudly, while giving us his order, then wonders why we are somewhat rude to him. Hell, I was taught to never interupt, he should step out of line, finish his conversation, then come order. I wouldn't want to be rude.

To the boss, "B" for having me call our Distribution Center every Monday, asking to delete some items for our next delivery, only to be told it should have been deleted yesterday. (okay, not every Monday, but every OTHER Monday)

Okay, so now that is off my chest...I have been sneezing, coughing, snotting all day. I have a box of kleenex, my bottle of chloraseptic, a baggie full of cough drops, Advil, etc... in the back. I keep one clean kleenex in my pocket, in case of emergency. I run to the back every time I start needing any of those items, I wash up before returning to work...blah blah blah...yeha, I hate it too, you would think they would send my home, I am OKAY with that. But today, as Derrick and I were suffering by ourselves, I a HUGE sneeze snuck up on me. It was so intense I nearly peed my pants. At this point, I wanted to run away, but I couldn't, as I was in the middle of taking an order. I then started coughing, and with each of those, I felt as though I would pee again. "B" happened to walk by, and actually felt sorry for me...AMAZING!...She took over, and told me to get a drink. Yeah, at that point I would have drown. I went and blew the heck out of my nose, popped a cough drop (I must have had 20 of them today) and then I went to the bathroom. I left poor Derrick with her for over 5 mintues.

I must have washed my hands a gabillion times today. On the bright side, a very nice looking young man came in with an application. Derrick came up behind me, and said "Wow, do you think Lily will actually hire a hot guy?" It made me laugh, and I told Derrick that he smelled really good, too. It actually got through my snotty nose, and was quite pleasant. I left a note to Lily on the computer, written in Spanish (with Karens help) so "B" wouldn't know what it said too easily..."hire this guy, he was hot and the two Diva's liked him, and he smelled nice". Hey, it could happen...

Dinner tonight was to be "porcupines" but the meatballs didn;t form too well, so it is more like roadkill...I am sure it will taste great!
