Beginning of the Month Blues

After working on editing some of the parts of this month's Monkees role play this morning (look for it towards the middle of the month), I spent the afternoon working. It wasn't fun. While we had more help than we have the past few days, it was still really busy...a rarity on a Tuesday in early March. Not helping matters were people who were cranky, obnoxious, or just plain annoying. I do with some of the older ladies weren't so fussy about bags...and that people would just learn to read prices, period. One lady held up the line for five minutes while a bagger checked a price...that turned out to be right all along. She just didn't read the darn price right! Another group of mothers left behind a quarter of their order because they miscalculated and couldn't afford what they had in their cart.

Though today was sunny and windless, it was also literally freezing cold. Half the snow that was slushy yesterday was icy today. It was almost impossible to ride on the sidewalks on the Black Horse Pike, which were covered with mountains of dirty, salty ice and snow.
