Roxy

Is fantastic. She's handling this winter weather and the driving conditions that go along with it like a real champ. A combination of black ice and turned wheels sent me into my worst and scariest a skid/slide/spin/something-or-other tonight, but I was able to correct and keep going in part due to good driving, but mostly due to Roxy's responsiveness and handling. Go me with my awesome car.

Work today was a joke. We were open from 10 am until 9pm, and in that 11 hour span had three, count them, THREE customers. One was an employee sale, one was an exchange, and one was a single article from the $9.99 rack. We made a grand total of $25.63(ish) today. I vacuumed the entire store really well, read a bit of a book, and wrote out the answers to the supplemental questions of a job application that is due tomorrow. I think I answered some of the multiple choice questions incorrectly, but for the life of me I cannot find my budgeting textbooks to use as a reference. Budgeting was my poorest class at UIC, so of course it is those books I cannot locate. Murphy is a work in my life I guess!

In my occasional, non-vegging out on the couch time, I am trying very hard to get my room in order. In the last few months I have cleaned my room and reorganized it several times, but to no lasting effect. There is simply too much in my room and too little storage. I think that problem has been corrected, however, with the subtraction of a rarely used piece of furniture, and the addition of a shelving unit and storage totes. I am off on Sunday and Monday, so the room will definitely get finished, including the hanging of several of my pictures and other room decorations.

That's about it. I guess this post will serve as a mini update until I have something more interesting to write about. What I really need to do is catch up with my 101 blog..... eek!

Love!
