Wow,

Today started out slow.. I woke up and Dominick was already supposed to be at school. Wonderful. My head was swimming and getting him up was a chore.. Mainly because I was pestering him. I feel sorry for the teacher because his meds where not in his system before he got there. Up and out the Door and I need to go get something for this cold otherwise I’d get nothing done today. You know one thing you don’t take into consideration when you move downtown… your moving away from the inexpensive grocery stores.

So Safeway here I come. It is my favorite and not near as expensive as some others but is it starting to get up there.. especially since they changed how all the stores look… That is corporate America for you.. They are now a total full service grocery store with a starbuck’s, deli serving fresh Chinese, American or great artisan sandwiches, florist, pharmacy, bakery, a card/gift card and gift isle, grocery delivery and even a bank. So a Safeway becomes more convenient and they start offering that easy little value card.. You know the one that tracks what you buy the most so that marketing people in your area know what to advertise locally to get you into a store, or even in your local paper or mailings… after a couple years they are remolding and we are all so use to our routines of going there for cheep good food that we no longer notice that it isn’t cheap.. I mean the place doesn’t even look cheap anymore.. It is as pretty as a Trader Joes and has about the same prices..One only really great thing has been their venture into the organic realm, that gives more choices to those of us that are allergic to some of the ingredients they put into pre packaged food.

Sorry.. So I am lost in the isles looking for Airborne, Ibuprofen, Soup and a new tooth brush for when the cold is gone. I found these Airborne Power Pixies, and easy way to get Dominick to take his Airborne, Last time I had him taking the kind that melts in the water he was all grumpy.. Anyways I am excited for him coming home and taking one. So I go get in line. Maybe it is the head cold but it feels like record time.

In Line; the kid in front of me.. I want to say kid but most likely he was older then me.. Anyways He is just as tired as me.. What is he getting? Chips, salsa and Hot sauce My Fav.. He is interesting. He wont look back at me.. Maybe he already looked. I am exhausted anyways… He has dark hair, a couple tattoos under his eyes.. The kind of thing the a Chickasaw warrior might have had.. work gloves on his hand.. a army surplus coat.. A story pops into my head.. I am thinking he must have just got off work from one of the cannery’s.. That he is going home to have a beer and needed a snack.. So He is getting helped and the lady scans his card but starts talking to me.. She isn’t interested.. She is ready to move on.. I tell her I am sick, She agrees and sniffs.. I point out the 40bucks of cold meds in my basket.. His card gets declined. I’ve had that happen.. In fact I have filled my cart with 70 bucks worth of stuff and checked out just to realize I didn’t even bring my card. Any ways he tells her to take out the hot sauce and then finds he is still 40 cents short.. He runs out to get the money, I am still confused as to what is happening she is scanning my stuff.. Anyways she says his food stamp card is new and got declined.. that it looks like he just got out of jail.. I say we all have hard times.. I’ll get his stuff.. Put the hot sauce back in.. It’ll be my good deed for the day. The Power of Marketing… I am visualizing that Charity commercial where the lady pays for the dry cleaning of the man in line behind her. I was hoping to be gone before he came back but it didn’t work out that way. He said thank you and I told him to have a good day. I donated a dollar to the breast cancer fund.. making everything 50bucks total… I couldn’t go straight home. I think it has been 3 weeks since I bought coffee.. So I got some of that and headed home.

So I get home and take my Airborne make myself some soup and seat down my daily online job hunt.

First I decide it is time to call the college and make an appointment. So on Friday I go in to talk with them about the online program and the Pharmacy Tech one.. Good for me huh?

I find a couple ads in the paper and send my Resume to those companies then look in my email. There I find that Keybank who which I applied for 2 teller positions yesterday has emailed me back. They want me to take a hour long Teller TryOut, It was a webinar training and very informative.. at the end they ask you 119 double multi choice questions…

Your answer are either Defiantly Me Or Somewhat me but they give you two questions..

You are rewarded for Hard work:: Defiantly Me/ Somewhat me / Somewhat me/ Defiantly Me :: You receive reward because of hard work and some luck

You thrive in a environment that is high pressure :: Defiantly Me/ Somewhat me / Somewhat me/ Defiantly Me :: You work better in a predictable environment.

People Should say what they mean :: Defiantly Me/ Somewhat me / Somewhat me/ Defiantly Me :: You are good at reading others emotions

You do what is required for your job :: Defiantly Me/ Somewhat me / Somewhat me/ Defiantly Me :: You do more than is required

The only thing is they really ask you those questions different ways 119 times..

I believe in working hard :: Defiantly Me/ Somewhat me / Somewhat me/ Defiantly Me :: I do what is require of my job.

You stay late to help others finish their jobs :: Defiantly Me/ Somewhat me / Somewhat me/ Defiantly Me :: You leave on time weather done or not

It was crazy… Anyways my hour over I submit is and take the dog out to run in the yard.. He’ll chase the ball but wont bring it back.. Weird… We come back in seat down again and I get a call.. It is Keybank. They Want to have a Phone interview tomorrow.. Cool Huh?
