Day ??

I stopped counting days-- its pointless now. I finished my little sister's teddy bear in Vanna's Choice dark purple (I'm too lazy to look up the real name of the skein of yarn) and its a little smaller than the other two bears because I wanted to make sure I had enough yarn to complete it (and I also sorta, kinda, maybe misread the pattern the first go-round, so I ended up experimenting with the size a bit). I haven't touched the two skeins of yarn for my own blanket. I'm putting that one on hold for a little while as I finish my granny squares. Then, before I do the border, I plan on going through the skeins for my own blanket and picking back up on the border.

I'm stumped as to what to make next. I was thinking about making something to sell online, perhaps a simple scarf in a soft, colorful yarn but I'm not sure. I was thinking about making a dish towel like Mags did. That thing is useful and soaks up a decent amount of water. But also, I want to try out doilies, so thats the next little project on my list! I'm interested in making the 5-point pineapple, or whatever it was called. I'll have to look at it again.

I'll upload a picture of some of my granny squares tomorrow-- Mags is asleep and there isn't enough lighting to take a proper picture at the moment. As far as life goes, I finally figured out why my boss wouldnt put me on the schedule: I don't answer the phones. Can you believe that? He refused to put me on the schedule because I wasn't running around with my head cut off while waiting for my pizzas to come out of the damn oven! Goodness. Besides, the last manager, Steven, never trained me to answer them or use the ordering screen. I know the screen isn't too hard but I made sure Lily took me through it before attempting a true phone in. The first lady was very patient and nice but I almost let my order run late because I was taking the call. Sometimes I wonder why people get so awry and awful when they're managers and people don't do exactly what they want them to.

I mean, seriously, how hard is it to pick up the phone and call and tell me about what I'm doing wrong like a regular, normal boss would? If I need improvement, then tell me and I will legitimately work on my weak points. But goodness, I shouldn't have to find out through a 16 year old CSR that the manager is mad and won't tell me why I haven't been on the schedule. Oh well, some people still haven't developed those skills, I suppose. Anyway, luckily the store owner was kind enough to work me and told the general manager to put me back on the schedule. Most of the workers don't like the general manager and say he's a jerk. I have to concur.

Anyhow, I better get going. I know I should be doing something productive so I'm considering getting my little book light out and reading. Not sure what I'm going to read... but maybe I'll be able to play my Game Boy before I go to bed if the light is bright enough. Goodnight!
