Guess What I Just Did
Do you know what I just did? I know that you don't because you are not me and so it would be impossible for you to know what I just did, unless you saw me do it which you didn't. Anyway, I just spent quite some time emptying those tiny salt packets you get at McDonald's and other fast food places into our salt shaker. I did this because we were out of salt and so I took some (and by some I mean a lot) of those reastaurant-type salt packets from work and that's why I was emptying them into our salt shaker.
The Real Question Is:
- Why didn't I just use the little salt packets in packet form? Why did I have to dump them into the shaker in the first place? I will tell you.
We have a salt shaker . . . actually it is an entire salt and pepper shaker and sugar bowl set and anyhow, this little set of kitchen implements is adorable. The sugar bowl is in the shape of a mama bird and the salt and pepper shakers are in the shapes of baby birds. Plus they were made in Germany which is always attractive . . . the point is I really like them and I like to use them, especially when we have people over. I will nonchalantly pick up a member of the kitchen-implement-bird-family and I'll shake some salt or pepper onto whatever they (they being the guests) happen to be eating and then when they're like, "Oh! Thanks for shaking salt on this food I'm eating . . . is that an adorable bird shaped salt shaker?" I reply, "Yes. Yes it is. It was made in Germany. I have the box to prove it."
You know what? I apologize for this nonsenes. I think Im just nervous about work tomorrow, which is silly but true. I just finished reading the employee handbook and I actually started hyperventilating. Enough about that. I have to go put together a suitable office outfit.

who reads the employee handbook? you just get it from them and sign a sheet saying you know what it says. this must be your first job.
the jolly octet is the jolliest bunch of christmas carolers ever to bestow this cold cold world of ours. they randomly pop into restuarants gas stations and our business establishments to spread christmas cheer uninvited but no less detered. but they are not all fun and games, they also do a lot of charity work. for instance they are singing at the morton wal-mart on saturday dec. 16th from 4-6. following that is the jolliest christmas party ever at my house. but you must wear jolly octet gear, as in cheesy christmas sweaters. alison can clue in on all this for her beloved beau is a member along with many other fine gentlemen, and a few morons, but alas, they are the greatest. and all will see this year after they are on the local news. anyway, you can come, you seem like you'd be into the christmas outfit thing.
you don't have to be there for the whole 2 hours. last year andrea just came for the last 20 mintues, partially because she was probably lost or something. do you really still not have a job? geez, the things brian puts up with.
not gonna work this time jon. i'm putting golden tickets in all the cheesy christmas sweaters at the local goodwills and you'll need that ticket to get in the door, much like willy wonka. so start your shopping now, those golden tickets will be going fast.
i'd go for you ali. we could maybe even shop for weird stuff like purple mittens!
anyway, i don't usually get into cheesy christmas outfits, but whatever.
and this is not my first job. this is my first real job where i have to wear nice clothes instead of jeans.
