Someone asked me if I have any intersting pet stories as I am now working at PetsMart, and yes, I do.

1.  One night I was asked any possible question about cat litter.  One of them was from a man who had a conversation with me about why there were different colored crystals in the TidyCat cat litter.  I tried to explain there were different colors based on the box colored, but clearly he wanted something a lot more scientific.

2.  A girl came in yesterday with her two dogs that were obnoxiously annoying.  One looked like they were going to pee and she told them not to, and in preparation I shared with her how we have oops stations for the owners in case the pets do take a dump or pee in the store.  5 minutes later, the dog pees while she is watching and what does she do?  Oh, she just turns around and ignores it.  So, like my lifeguard job in high school, I am still cleaning up pee.

3.  A man explained to me for 15 minutes how a cat litter box works that actually scoops out the poop, turns it mush with water and flushes it down into a sewer (i had saw it and asked him if he liked it since I had someone ask me about it earlier).  He then proceeded to inform me that he hooks it up to his toilet and has a hose from the cat littler box that is attached to his toilet. Ewwww.

4.  I had a woman in line returning an item for a bigger harness ask me to make the harness as big as it would go.  I would also like to mention there were three people in line behind her.  Wow.

5.  Yesterday a woman and her two annoying sons came into the store.  One son kept begging for a drink and candy (yes, we do sell people food at the checkout line).  He asked every two seconds and she kept ignoring him.  The other older, much larger child asked once for a drink, the mom said yes.  He then went along to bug her about what type of drink he could have while younger son wouldn’t shut up asking for a drink and the mom continued to ignore him.  All the while the poor dog has his collar being yanked by the younger kid.  Poor dog.

That is all for now.  I’ll try to have more exciting slash dumb things people ask later.

Summer has been flying by, as its almost July and soon August and family vaca!!!  I am looking forward to the week at the beach, and hanging out with the family will be fun too:o)  But, until that time its still job searching, job searching, and job searching.  I’ve gotten a summer slash part time job working at petsmart, which isn’t bad but I am still looking for a real teaching job.  Hopefully something comes up soon- I’ve been applying pretty much everywhere in Ohio to any social studies job possible, but I am thinking I will have to start looking for out of state jobs.  Its not that I don’t want to move out of Ohio, but I like being close to my family.  Especially since my big one is getting married next summer (YAY!) and I don’t really want to be away from the wedding planning or just my family in general.  So at this point, I’m just kind of waiting and hoping that something will come along.  Fingers crossed.

With that, time to go change the laundry and keep tiding up the house:o)

Yum:o)

So tonight we are watching twilight.  N comments on the following:

N:  It must be hard to not talk with a british accent for that whole time.  But then again, its just like us when we talk with accents

Me:  Ummm N, when do you ever talk in an accent?

N:  oops.

While watching Harry Potter 4 with A, A, and N:

“That’s what the death curse is- spanish influenza”.

Hence how Edward went from wizard to vampire- Cedric is his madain name.  Mystery solved.

N:  You know when you feel like you have to poop all day?

A:  You mean constipation?

N: ummmmm… yes.

Love my big one.

In honor of my sister:

It was a dark and stormy night as Nicole began her sail across the sea… she saw him, and then she saw the sea.  But, no, there was not only one sea, but TWO!  Two seas, oh where the two seas met was when she feel in love with Eyeore, who was not the hottest man in town but he will do.  And oh, how the TWO SEAS MET!  She danced over the ship, singing as the birds and the animals came out of their hiding places (very similar to Snow White, even the same terrible voice).  When she stopped.  How could this be?  How could there be THREE SEAS! ?!?!  She was not expecting this- no, she was only expecting two.  So now, how could she get back to Eyeore, her dream man?  Only time will tell.

Stay tune for WHERE THE TWO SEAS MEET PART 2

Side note:  Nicole created a ridiculous monologue based on a book I was reading titled “Where the two seas meet”, which included a song.  This is my rebuttle.

This has been the week of interviews, although that is a very good thing:o)  I have a second interview tomorrow at Petsmart, which would be a great summer slash part time job to have in the fall and during school breaks.  I had another interview today for a daycare/preschool/kindergarten position, which seemed really good, but I’m not sure if I am capable to successfully teacher little kids- I’ve worked with them before, but I’m not really sure if I’m actually qualified for that.  BUT, today I got a call to come and interview on Tuesday for a job downtown at the center for human services working with adults with special needs and disabilities.  The job would consist of training them for job skills, daily activities, recreational activities, field trips, etc.  Hopefully this interview goes well because this job would be AMAZING to have, especially since I want to go into special ed in a few years:o)  With the teaching jobs, I’ve been applying to pretty much any place I can think of, so hopefully something comes up soon!

Keep your fingers crossed.  Luckily tomorrow I get a break from the job searching and get to go home for the weekend.

Me:  So the Cavs lost last night.

Nicole:  What does that mean?

Me:  Ummm that they lost the game.
