Called Uber right after the cartoon ended. The drivers came in decent time - the one this morning arrived in 7 minutes, the one this afternoon in 5 - but the one going to work took a little longer getting there when something was blocking Nicholson and they had to duck into Audubon to go around. The one going home avoided Nicholson and cut through Oaklyn.
I had more trouble getting to work than at work. We were dead all morning. While the rain was gone by 9:30, it was still pretty wet early-on and very windy and cold, with in and out sunshine. Considering the mess on Nicholson, I wonder if a lot of our customers were blocked by debris from the storm and couldn't get to the store. I swept, pushed carts, and cleaned bathrooms and the employee room with no problems whatsoever.
Watched a little Password Plus when I got home, changed, and had a snack. Buzzr is now on Bill Cullen's run as host. I got to see Vicki Lawrence help a lady in the Alphabetics bonus round, and do just as well there as she did with the Money Cards a year later on Card Sharks.
The show hadn't even ended when I settled down for a nap. I've been busy these past few weeks and up too late. This was the first time in a while I had the chance to sleep during the day. I went down at 2:30 and got up at 4:30, still feeling a little worn out.
The job counselor who is supposed to help my other counselor asked for a monthly report on how my job hunt has gone. Truth be told, I didn't have the chance to do a whole lot with job hunting during the holidays, and I didn't really see anything interesting when I did look. I applied for a few jobs with Karen in late November and early December, but haven't heard from them.
Had dinner around 6:30 while watching Match Game PM. This was the nighttime show for Christmas week 1978, the one where Charles dressed as Santa Claus and Brett as a little girl on his knee. Gene had to do some heavy lifting when the turntable with the contestants wouldn't move during the opening and he had to push it himself, then jumped on the lower tier to show how strong he was!
Worked on writing for a while after that. The lion agrees to join them. Even if the Wizard can't help him, he hopes he may learn courage during the trip. He also finally makes friends with Rover when he gives the little guy a great belly rub and Charles when he keeps him from falling over.
Took a shower, then finished the night at The Roku Channel with Hart to Hart. It's "A Question of Innocence" when Johnathan learns that the nice older woman (Jeanette Nolan) who owns the newstand in his office building has been found injured after a mugging. Turns out she was really being blackmailed by the friend of her late grandson, who died from a drug overdose. She thinks she killed the professor who supplied him with the drug, but the Harts don't believe she's capable of murder. They ask questions at her grandson's fencing team and the sorority where several girls with crushes on the drug-selling professor and learn that there was someone else there that night who was far more likely to have done the deed.
