right now, i am getting ready for work. so far, i have not made any mistakes, but the people showing me have. so i won't panic if my money is 'off' and i have to re-do it a few times...it happens even to people who have been there 14 years the only hard part is, both trainers do it differently. the gal takes out all the money and just counts up til she hits the amount collected for the day and there should be 150 dollars left for 'starting' money that is in the cash drawer each morning. the guy takes out money a bill at a time, counting down on the cash register until he hits zero, and then there should be 150 bucks left in the drawer. hard to explain, but i'll just do it my way! i work one more day with someone, and my next shift i will be flying alone. well, me and the video camera filming my a$$ and the cash register for 6 hours straight. man, i hope i don't get a wedgie yesterday we were missing 2 golf carts. the owners have their 'summer home' out there. a nice double-wide with a porch on an acre of the property. they brought a bunch of friends out who play for free and get carts for free, etc. well, we were told they would be keeping carts 8 and 11 overnight. when i put all the other carts away, 4 and 13 were missing...i had to go over to the owners and find out they were keeping those overnight, too. it's not like losing a tee or a ball! i was pretty upset to come up 2 electric golf carts short! LOLOL

Right now I'm listening to Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 2. It always feels like it emanates from the inside out instead of from the outside in. Anyway, I like it.

Right now, DS is on his way and Mom stood in the driveway until I couldn't see his tail lights anymore and came in and cried. He has become a wonderful young man. <sigh>

Right now, I'm watching the Taken marathon on SciFi. I missed it when it ran last year. I'm enjoying it, except I worry about the cute little girl (the actress from The Cat in the Hat) all through every episode, lol.

No way Ddr! That's my niece's birthday! In fact, I was thinking of adding a post like yours word for word. Then I came back here and read yours and thought, "I don't remember actually posting that!" ...are we related?

one of my boyfriends was born 4-4-44. wow, he's old now LOLOL i remember that fergie had beatrice on 8-8-88 and there was great suspicion that she was induced to deliver on that specific date work went fine. this one guy is such a perfectionist, i wanted to throttle his 23-year-old neck! you have to run one long tape, from the rentals, to the fees, to the merchandise, to the coupons used, to every individual tax added, etc. well, i am literally on the second to the last number i have to enter on this 4-foot long tape and the guy is talking to me and i hit .01 for tax, not .10, and he tells me i cannot just void the 1 cent then add in the 10 cents, nor can i just add 9 cents to make the ten cents. i could have circled it to show they went together, and they have to match the merchandise slips, which are all in order, so it would have been totally obvious what was what...but no, he made me re-run the entire thing. and i get almost to the end and i have subtract some coupon for 2 bucks. the only coupon i took in. and i add it by mistake. and i can't take it out and then take it out again and it would be real obvious i had just added it by mistake and here it is taken out...no, i have to run the entire 3 or 4 foot tape all over again. then i have all my money counted. there is exactly the 150 in my starting cash drawer. i have to (on the adding machine tape) show each denomination of bills and coins to total the 150 bucks. i also have to count a money pouch that has 250 starting bucks in it. am i done? no. young, not so cute now, guy says i can't have any 20's in my cash 150 bucks and i have to trade it for smaller bills and coins from the 250 buck bag. and now i have to run a new tape, because the 20 is not a 20, it's now four 5's, etc. i ask what if someone pays with a hundred and they need twenties, and he tells me they can make change the other way at that point. i figured out i should not question this, now very ugly, young man! LOL i had to laugh, though. he will probably make his first million by age 30. i forgot my latest grisham novel at home and he told me he had some books in his car he could loan me. well, they were suze orman's money book, and something about how einstein developed his brain, etc. he told me he never reads for pleasure. if he can't learn something from it, he doesn't read it. okay, he is basically a nice guy, but there is no gray area in his life. only black and white. he would probably do really well as an officer in the military! well, tuesday afternoon i fly alone. and the restaurant gal is the one who is mad because they hired for the pro shop before they hired more help for the restaurant...so i don't want to make any mistakes. i know she doesn't dislike ME per se, but she is not happy, and i'm the one getting her 'you're so stupid looks'......eeeek!!

WTG Tabby!! Just have to say I appreciate that post - I hate the counting of registers (and I honestly dont remember doing it since high school, and i"m not telllin!! *G) Right now LOL at weiner and Mak, thanks for that, and thanks weiner for the calm in the storm... Granny, right now I'm thinking... but I was crying in my heart, and ds is only going back to college. and ds#2 is prepping for their summer jobs at camp... away 9 weeks... which as I read your post leaves me shallow... Then there is this wonderful DD who has left me wondering how am I going to survive HER teenage years??? How DO all y'all do it?? I cant tell you 7yr temper tantrums... its like WHERE did *I* go wrong? its so hard not to power struggle (*I* am the MOM, *I* get the last word, well that's stupid,so I just say over and over, I love you DD, consequences... sometimes, sometimes I just sya, Nana and others say this is when a paddling happens, but I love you, consequences, "unacceptable behavior" which leaves me wondering... where is the manual? Does this way really work? Am I really really wrong... right now I think I should've posted in the parenting thread... please forgive me...

right now i'm wondering if reader threw away the manual they gave her at the hospital. it's on page 4,984 - the parent is ALWAYS RIGHT! if you want to talk to me, you can talk in a nice voice.

Right now, patting Grannyg, hoping she is feeling brighter. What a sweet mama you are. Right now, Weiner and Mak, thanks for sharing your quick wit and bringing a smile to HP! And right now, comedienne Tabbycybermom, I want you to know that you are still making me chuckle here with your new job stories. For a time, in addition to a full-time job, I also worked in the china dept at Strawbridge's. So I remember those darned registers and cashing out every night. Gets to be a routine, but hiccups happen now and then. They sure do make it complicated where you are, though. And I just got it that they film anyone who works at the register!! My goodness, they sure are security conscious for a country club. That young man is 23. That explains a lot. Hope you remember your own book NEXT time. Reader, I am through all those ages with my kids, thank goodness. All I can say is Good Luck. Girls are tougher than boys by a long shot IMO. (This said as a parent of a boy and girl and a former teacher of 7-8th graders.) Finally, right now, my DH just left for Phila (for an interview in the morning for a bigger job in CT; their home office is in Phila). Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for him, as this opportunity is good in many ways--and, at age 57, may be the last time he gets a chance to step up another level financially.

Right now, we are having snow flurries. I had to put my glasses on to make sure I was really seeing what I was really seeing, lol! School was cancelled in several coastal towns, so they must be getting more than flurries.
