One more...
I'm headed off to Waltopia to get groceries for tonight's dinner party/Olympics watching event, then back here to cook and clean, then off to The Department Store for my shift, but I thought I'd give you one more thing to read before I leave for the morning.
I have a lot of funny stories about being The Person Behind the Counter at The Department Store. I'll codify some of them and pay attention today to tell you them in a humorous manner so that you all may enjoy the interesting and insightful things I have to say about customers. (Customers are people too! They may think I'm the one behind bars, but seeing so many people traffic in and out of The Department Store sometimes makes me feel like an anthropologist or a zookeeper, watching the wildlife in their natural habitat. It's amazing what you can learn when you watch and know what to watch for.)
Seriously, all irony and sarcasm aside...my stories are interesting and insightful. People really let down their guard when it's just The Register Girl there. You can tell a lot about people based on what they buy (Hmmm...a nightgown set, tissue paper, and a gift bag, and next week is Valentine's day...), and they are willing to make chitchatty chitchat because it's just the Person Behind the Counter they're talking to.

I hope you had fun tonight. Read my blog and you'll know what happened to me. I got sucked back into the world of theological academia. Wow. I love it. I hope you had fun. I'm sorry I couldn't join you. I'm coming for the ice skaters so please check the schedule and tell me when they are on. Thanks for visiting me today. :-)
