Not been taking the posts

You have been waiting a few days for this entry.  Here is what transpired.  I picked up a partial plastic cutting on my way to the temp job on Thursday. That evening I took Mom for her 79^th birthday dinner at my sister’s.  Friday evening was dedicated to “popping Patis” to make up packages for some orders that have been waiting for the new stock.  Early Saturday morning I finished getting the orders ready for the post office. 

When the bank opened, a savings account seemed to be in order for some money just received.  Also, since my pay checks are direct deposited to my checking, I set it up to transfer a good portion of them into the new account.  After all interest adds up eventually.  They had a special account where upon reaching $1000 in the savings the bank adds $50 and if that $1000 stays in the account for a year another $50.  It’s a calculated bet that I WILL at least qualify for the first reward.  If the temp goes permanent I WILL receive the second reward.  Everyone should check their banks for any similar accounts.

My next stop was to find a tire to replace the flat and return the spare tire to its reserve status.  Both Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club did not have my size at this time.  They were the closest to the chain store where I work on weekends and now I had to go to work.  

I was originally scheduled for 5 hours but I ended up working 9 hours followed by a 10 hour day on Sunday.  I didn’t mind as much on Saturday because the lady I was scheduled with is now on a portable oxygen tank after being out nearly a month hospitalized with pneumonia and H1N1.  She was going to be closing our department alone.  However on Sunday, I thought it was foolish to schedule me (or anyone) alone for the last 3 hours when they were running a page of about nine 40% off coupons.  This logic fails me.
