I'm Back

Ok, so it's been awhile since I last posted. I have reasons people. The first of those being...I'M BACK AT PAGES!!!!! I can't believe it! It was not my plan. Go get your coffee, sit back, lower your expectations and let me tell you about it...
So I had been having dreams constantly about the girls I used to work with. You remember. At thebestjobontheplanet job.
Anyway so I finally called said girls and begged them to have dinner with me so I could see their faces again. They conceded. They may or may not have seen me driving miles out of my way to strain my neck as I drive by the new store hoping to get a glimpse of something, anything. They may have been a little afraid. I can't blame them. I was stalking the building. There. I said it. It's true and now it's out there.
Anywho, so we're sitting there having dinner and drinks when LovelyFreida said that Jen (the new owner of PITF) said I could come see the new store. That night! I almost fell out of my chair. We immediately paid our tab and ran out the door. At least I think we paid. KIDDING. Always kidding.
Anywho, I walked in and nearly cried. It is so beautiful! So green. So pretty. So smelly good. I walked around the store stroking the new paper, telling it how lovely it was. I was home again. The next few moments are a complete blur to me but somehow the next morning I was there stocking shelves and getting PAID to stroke the paper! Behold the NEWbestjobontheplanet. (be sure to click on the team button while you're there)
And guess what? I called Workforce One the next day to inquire about my scholarship to go back to school and they said I would still qualify since it's just a part time job!!!
How Did This Happen To Me?
Life Is Good.
Sweet.
Smelly Good.
