If yesterday was Wednesday, then maybe today will be Zen day. It's not quite the weekend, the week isn't completely over, and I still have a few hours to catch up on stuff left over from last week. Didn't get to study last night; had supper at Pizza Perfect and then made a trip to Wally World, my least favorite shopping location on the planet. The good news is, they had what I needed. The bad news is, it took 30 minutes of my precious life just waiting in the 10 Items or Less checkout lane. I just find that excessive - if it only takes me 5 minutes to locate my items, why should I have to wait half an hour to pay for them? Why hasn't Wal-Mart set up self-check lines like Kroger or Home Depot or Lowes? It's not like they'd lose that much more with the 5-finger discount. And it was all the more annoying to see lines of people snaking out onto the main floor, while over half the checkout lanes were closed. "We save you money by cutting down on labor costs - we hire bottom-feeders for next-to-nothing wages, and then only keep staff at half of what it should be." Gotta love it.
I thought about deleting all the past posts - none of them have any meaning to anyone but me anyway- but I couldn't do it. Let them sit there, unread and unremembered. There were no posts in 2009. There was nothing positive I could find to say, although there were happy moments mixed with the sad. The sweet mixed with the bitter. The birth of my nephew, the death of my mother, the numbness that followed, and lingers. The start of my journey towards an MBA, the job that no longer inspires me, the purchase of an Airstream to help bring me back to center. That was 2009. This is 2010. It's time to turn and face forward, and soldier on.
