Near departure

Hello, me again. I've got 15 minutes to write (minus the time spent checking out customers, but it's a cold, rainy, nasty day, so we're basically dead) while Mary takes a break from the LUMBER/BUILDING MATERIALS cash register.

I can hardly believe I'm in my last few days at Lowe's. I feel almost traitorous, going to their competitor. But hey, they could have given me full-time, so I wouldn't have to look elsewhere.

I can honestly say there are some people I'll miss. Paula, Brenda, "Jersey," Alex, Natalie, Frank, Jim, Phil, John (L&G), Mike, Earl, Maria, etc. But hey, they'll just be across the street.

Charles is wanting to move to Home Depot too, as far as I know. But there's some rule against relatives working in the same store. We'll see...

So, I got an amazing response from my bulk email just a few days ago. (Don't feel left out if you didn't get it - it was just a slightly censored version of my last few journal entries.) Megan, Adam, my mom, Stephanie so far...and I still have family/friends left to forward it to). It makes me feel so loved - and want to write back ASAP. Friday. I hope this urge to write/keep in touch continues for a long time. It makes me feel a lot less self-centered and a lot more extroverted. I've also spoken to Meghan and Brian and Ashley in the past few days - it was GREAT to talk to Meghan! (We talked for an hour, I think - until Charles' parents went to bed.)

A few days ago, I watched a dog show on Animal Planet. There were many cute dogs that I'd love to find out about. (My favorites are still the Golden and Labrador Retreivers - that's what I've grown up with!) And I still want a cat - but Charles is allergic. (But he offered to buy me a $125 ferret the other day. They were adorable, but Charles planned on putting it in the cage with Dufro - our guinea pig. I'm not comfortable with that idea.

I have a whole list of things I want to do/learn/see/experience in life and I never seem to accomplish them. They're really not quite goals, but rather petty little things to do just for the hell of it.

I'm so random.

Well, obviously, I have absolutely nothing to say - I'm still the same Emily you've come to know and love...with a boring life. (But that's why I can write so often.)

Since I'll be starting full-time at Home Depot in the probably a matter of days, you'll hear much less of me (unless I get an equal amount of downtime at Home Depot - doubtful, considering how much business that store does!

Well, that's it. Buh-bye now.
