Mondays Suck!

I hate Mondays...(yawn!) It is so hard to get moving...and time just seems to mmmoooovvveee sssooo ssslllooowww... ... ...
Any way...I have a job that I have only worked at for two weeks and have already had my hours reduced. I work at 'Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich Shop'. Most days it is kind of fun...once again I am the old lady with the young kids but I love it. Their energy and spunk is contagious. And they apparently like to hear what I have to say (and I'm older than some of their Mothers...imagine that!!!). Saturday I worked the cash register. A lady came in with her child...the little girl was mongloid and I tried to talk to her. Her mother said, "oh she's deaf." Okay...so I waved at her. Then the little girl started signing to me. I had no idea what she wanted and I kept saying to her mother, "I think she's signing." Her mother didn't reply and ignored the little girl...that kind of made me sad. Ultimately I figured out she was saying she wanted some soda. So I said to the mother, "oh I think she wants some pop." To which the mother said, "Oh she loves her pop." Mom still continued to ignore the little girl and to watch me interact with the girl I'm sure we looked like something out of the Three Stooges...she would sign...I would shake my head and point to her mother...she would poke her mother...then she'd sign....I'd shake my head and point....and then she'd poke...Can't say we don't know how to have fun at Jimmy Johns.

Today I have my first quiz in Physics and I am not looking forward to it. I'm not sure how to study for this since the lectures have been very scattered and hard to determine value for notes verses just talk...and of course the class in two hours...with as tired as I am today I'm not sure I will stay awake...Caffeine just ain't cuttin' it.

Oh well...I will only be here to 6:30...hope I can get a ride home...

Lou Rawls is dead.

I was surprised to read that Lou Rawls died today. He had an amazing voice and style...I just love a deep-gravely voice. It seems so many of the singers who embosssed that spiritual, jazzy, soulful sound into our hearts are leaving us. To a better place, absolutely...but what heaven has gained we earthly beings have lossed. May God bless his family and friends...Thank you Lord for sharing Lou and his voice with the world.
