I am the Donut Lady

I don't know if you are familiar with Brian Regan's sketch about The Donut Lady. If you aren't, maybe you should search for it on Youtube. Basically, you walk into a donut shop, say you want a dozen donuts, start picking your donut and each time you pick a donut you ask the donut lady how many donuts you have left. At work we have arcade games that give you tickets, then you go to the redemption counter and you can get "cool" prizes with your tickets. The kids that come in make me feel like I am the donut lady. I tell them they have 20 tickets, they pick something that costs 10 tickets and then ask how many tickets they have left. I think we need to institute a rule that says you have to be able to do the subtraction yourself, I am not your calculator. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen, so yesterday I was THE DONUT LADY! At least in my head I got to think the whole Brian Regan sketch our in my head, hahahahaha.

Also, if you are looking for some good church music to listen to I highly suggest the piano solos of Paul Cardall. You can find his music on iTunes, youtube or on his website. I am a big fan now, especially after I raed his life story about his heart problems and his current need for a heart transplant. He's got a great story, and his music is fabulous! In the last week I have bought a cd of his (The Hymns Collection) off of iTunes and purchased the piano book that went along with it, and now that the book is here I have been waiting for our company to leave so I can sit at the piano and figure out some of the songs.

Back to work... this week I have:
-learned how to make pizza (at least a few types)
-helped clean a grease trap
-mopped the nasty undersides of the foam tiles that line the toddler area of the jungle zone
-defrosted a freezer (with Julie)
-worked for 3 parties
-learned how to use the register
-cleaned the ovens (with Julie)
-cleaned both bathrooms (with Julie)
-helped get rid of a bird that was living in the building
-learned how to turn all the arcade games on
-worked the redemption counter
-done a lot of dishes
-rung (is that spelled right?) out a billion rags used for cleaning {my wrist hurts from doing this so much, but that's alright}
-answered the phone and been able to correctly answer peoples questions
-vacuumed under the jungle zone
-learned how to open the kitchen (that means prepping it for the day, not physically opening the door to the kitchen...)
-learned how to close the place down
-done a lot of other stuff.

Julie and I have been really busy all week (well, since she got home on Monday night we've been way busy). It's been hilarious to get to know her a little, and to get to know Shannon, one of our co-workers. Oh my goodness, those two girls are hilarious.

Well, the positive of that situation is that you'll never go rusty on your abilities to use mental subtraction!

Thanks for the CD tip, I'll have to look into that!

That would be WRUNG (past tense of wring someone's neck???) out dishrags. All I know is that I surely don't see much of you. Our schedules are definitely not compatible. I leave early and you return late! I'll keep you anyway!
