Rainy day...

We have been suffering lately from bouts of extreme frenzy as well as extreme slowness. There is no longer a middle ground to what is going on at work. There are times when you will almost fight in order to help a customer because you have nothing better to do than to keep count of the minutes left in the work day. I am not even completely happy trying to type out a post. Typing and writing have always been two of my favorite pastimes and even now they cannot fill the void of boredom. 

It is a truly sad day when having high speed internet cannot solve your boredom. There are things to do but then again I really have nothing to do. We are trying to get ready for the annual sale one week from today but that doesn't help because there are things that if we do them today we will just be repeating them before the week is  over. Already we have finished cleaning up the loan department desk, we have gotten most everything off of the floor that is not useful or moved it to a place where it useful. Really it is a matter of getting things done before our boss gets back so that we don't have him trying to go behind us and change what we are doing. But that will happen anyway because that is just how it goes. 

I'm just happy that my office doesn't get used so that I won't have to try and get it cleaned up before then because well it is a disgusting mess that is usually coated in a nice layer of grime and dust. I will clean it up some I have a couple of A/C units that I have to find better places for. They will probably end up in the warehouse before the week is up which will put them in the way for next week. We have a tendency to oversell things which in some cases has stemmed from a customer being indecisive. If you want it go for it because if you wait too long there won't be one for you to have and then you have to wait for us to order one and that doesn't always happen in a timely manner. 

I actually set out to write about an article over on babble.com about scary kids movies, which was not a very impressive list. There were quite a few movies that I had never heard of and a few that are probably more psychologically harmful than scary. I don't see Bambi as scary just as a way to psychologically scar child and guarantee therapy bills in the future especially if you live in an area where hunting is very popular. Also your child will probably end up being terrified of going in the woods for fear of fire. Maybe that is why I have a truly deep fear of fire. Granted I will light a candle, cook on a gas stove and hold a lighted candle for an hour during Christmas eve service, but put me around fire that does not have set boundaries you might as well box me up and send me packing. Thinking about it could also stem from seeing Backdraft as a younger child which also gave me a fear of theaters. Not movie theaters but the real ones with curtains and backstage areas.

Ernest Scared Stupid scared the living daylights out of me as a child. I still refuse to watch that movie. I will watch Ernest goes to jail or any of the other Ernest movies but NEVER will I watch that one again. My brother has tried to make me watch it to show me that it is not as scary as I make it out to be but I just can't do it. I am still afraid of trolls (and it sounds much better with the accent I hear in my head).

love ya!
