Directions @ MindSay 
Do you remember the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy first stumbles upon the Scarecrow? She is standing at a crossroad asking Toto which way she should go when the Scarecrow says "you should go that way" and points to the right. Dorothy thinks she is seeing things and looks away when he says, "of course, I hear it's awfully nice that way as well" and points left. This goes on, comically, until the Scarecrow has his arms crossed pointing both directions and leaving poor Dorothy hopelessly lost. Welcome to my day.
I know it doesn't seem a big deal to many, I got lost. So what? Well, I don't get lost. I just don't. I have an impeccable sense of direction and a good understanding of maps, distance, directions, etc. Which is why my getting lost today annoys the bejeezus out of me. Well, that, and it happened as I was on my way to a job interview: and I was subsequently late.
I got the directions off of Google Maps. Truly, I am a huge fan of these new internet mapping services, they are wonderful, and so much easier than a bulky map. Problem is....I guess they're not always right. This one was so far off--I first noticed intersections cropping up that weren't mapped. Then, an unexpected T-Stop. I used my knowledge and reasoned it out and made a turn. The correct turn. Then, when I was back on track with the map and directions: that's when it all came a-tumbling down. Somehow I ended up about 10 miles from my destination in the middle of nowhere, clunking down a dirt road, after following the map precisely. ARGHARRUMPH!
So I called and let them know I would be late and begged for some assistance and presented a first impression of a)not punctual b)unprepared and c)an imbecile--sure, that's exactly what I was aiming for. Sigh. I recovered well, made it into a fun anecdote and charmed the heck out of them in the interview...I know the image I left them was more like what I was shooting for. Still, it put a crimp in my day and left me with the image of Google Maps as a gangly, slightly-charming, stuffing-for-brains scarecrow out to steer me down the wrong path. Hopefully, the interviewers aren't tinmen with no hearts. Which I guess makes me Dorothy...now I need red shoes.
Went to work at 730 am. Where it was seeming to be a typical day. Until Don Nugent, our store manager, walked outside. He was checking around to see if everything was cleaned up. Of course it wasn't. The pos cart guys that worked on my day off didn't do jack shit. Big shock! This was about an hour, or half, after I went over everything with Denise Terrel, our stores customer operation manager. I am tired of cleaning up after everyone. It's just of frustrating to have to do it, day in , day out. On a plus note. Two guys quiet or got fired, and another moron put in his two weeks. Thank god!
Lets see, I am under orders from my store manager, to give him the names of employee's the leave a mess in the smoking area, and or smoke in front of the building. One particular employee comes to mind. Who nothing but a fucking pig! Always leaves an empty coke bottle, and empty pack of cigarettes in the smoking area. So, lets just says, this person will be the first person on my list. I make sure don know's who this employee is. There person says , "I don't give a fuck if they fire me." Well, we shall see. I am gonna talk to don tomorrow morning. If he's there, and reveal the name of this pig to him.
Oh, and on top of this. They screwed up the schedule for today. So there where two cart guys on today. So, upon being asked what else I could do, cause lets face it, on a dead dull day, there's not enough for two of us at the same time. I asked if I could leave early. There was nothing to do, and I don't want the puppy dog following me around. I just find that annoying. So I left at 2.
Upon coming home I went to my room and got changed. Then crashed in front of the TV. I turned on Star trek: the next generation. Dinner was around 3. Then at 4 it switches to Star trek: voyager. Till 6. Then I watched Alaska: into the wild, on the travel channel. At 7 which is ...
... Right now, I am watching the last Buffalo Bills pre-season NFL football game. With no other plans for the rest of the night. Other the relaxing and watching TV. I really don't feel like doing anything, and there's no one to do anything with anyway.
So, what's on my mind at the moment? Nothing much really. Just thoughts of what kind of jewelry I wanna wear. What it means to me, and what I am most comfy in. Right now I am wearing my pirate necklace. lol I only call it this cause is something that feels , and look piratety to me. It's actually a titanium square rolo necklace with large fish hook clasp. Its a stand alone piece. Which means, there are no other matching piece to it, like a bracelet for example. I guess I'll alternate between this, and my native American stuff. Since I like that kind of stuff.
Humm, so what else is on my mind? What do you do when your stuck at home all day with nothing else to do, or there is nothing you really wanna do, thus your at home , like it says in my blog.
Alright there's really nothing else I can think of at the moment. I welcome reply. Please feel free to put in your two cents about my life.

I went to visit my good young friend hereruraisins29 blog and she posted this. ( Thank you!) I clicked on the song and immediately felt my soul drawn in. I wrote this in her blog:
"i am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. listening over and o'er to this song. I just prayed yesterday about how I feel a little lost, my dreams and goals seem off kilter and not 'right' anymore.. like I keep slaying dragons but they keep rising up to block the paths I thought I wanted to take.
Maybe that was why I couldnt come here to mindsay for a bit. I felt like all i was doing was bitching. and all i wanted to do was bitch. and throw temper tantrums. and that makes me feel ugly.
This song really reached my core tonite. in so many ways.
Dee"
Here are the Lyrics.
Any minute now my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll stand on the bow
And feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down, down, down on me
And you said "be still my love"
"Open up your heart"
"Let the light shine in"
Don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
When I awoke today suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams I slew the dragon
And down this beaten path
And up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my own footsteps once again
And you say "just be here now"
"Forget about the past"
"Your mask is wearing thin"
Let me throw one more dice
I kow that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
Any minute now my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll check my machine
There's sure to be that call
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
It's just that times are lean
And you say "be still my love"
"Open up your heart"
"Let the light shine in"
Don't you understand
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin
On a clear day
I can see, see for a long way
On a clear day
I can see, see a very long way
