Number 1652-Sat.-Mar.12,2011-3:11 p.m. C.S.T. (1)

   I didn't write a blog last night because I came home and went to bed.
   Nick picked me up. Corey was with him. Corey was sitting in the back seat when Nick arrived. I didn't ask why. I was dropped off at Radio Shack. I brought the boxes of water bottles in. I was early but it was the only time I could get a ride. Tara, Ken, and Justin were working. I waited around and talked to Ken and Justin for a while. Tara was on the phone. I filled the bottles with water from the sink in the storage room. Since Iwasn't scheduled to start work for another 4 hrs., I left.
   I walked to Panera. I got a large cup of hazelnut coffee and a cherry danish. I cashed in my free coffee and my $1.00 off a danish. I sat at a table and ate the danish. After I was finished I just sat there some more and drank my coffee. I didn't do anything while sitting. I just looked at people. I got up and left after about 30 mins.
   I walked to Kohl's. I just looked at jeans and shoes. There were signs posted all over the place saying an extra 15%, 20%, or 30% can be taken off when I used a Kohl's credit card. I went to customer service and applied. It was pretty easy to apply. The woman to whom I spoke there had something wrong with her arm. I attributed that to a stroke or M.S. That's what it looked like at least. I was denied the Kohl's credit card. She said they'll send me a letter explaining it but I don't need to read it.
   I walked to Wal-Mart. Terri, my former neighbor was standing outside by the side door. I talked to her for a few mins. She was promoted. She moved out from next door to me when Lisa, one of Jeff's old girlfriends, moved in. Terri is staying with her sister.
   I walked around Wal-Mart. After I was finished doing that I walked back to Panera and refilled my coffee. I had brought the cup with me to Kohl's and Wal-Mart. I had left it outside at both places and it was still there both times after I left each store. I walked to Radio Shack after Panera.
   I told Tara I could start work early. She said go ahead. Justin had already left. I punched in and started work. I clocked in about 2 hrs. early. I just sold stuff. It was busy. I had to make a new nametag because I lost my old one. Tara left. She walked out to her car and got my carton of cigarettes. She handed them to me as I was by the cell phones talking with a customer.
   I shot up in the back room. I walked to Brodie's Beef http://www.brodies-beef.com/ . I had called them earlier and my Italian combo basket was ready when I got there. I ate it there. I had lost my nametag again but on my walk back to Radio Shack I found it on the ground.
   I had left my carton of cigarettes on the refrigerator in the back hallway. Ken let a woman use the bathroom. When she left I noticed that the carton was opened and a pack of cigarettes was missing. I was pissed. I thought she had stolen a pack. I later found the missing pack inside the refrigerator. Ken wouldn't do something like that and the only other person in the back was that woman. Why would she do such a thing? I can see playing jokes on people but this one seemed hardly worth the effort. Oh well, I found the pack of cigarettes so it doesn't really matter.
   For the rest of the night I just sold stuff. Ken went to lunch. When he returned I went to Wal-Mart's parking lot and got a cart. I brought the cart back and put the full boxes of water in it. Ken got stuck exchanging phones for a customer. That took a while. I took out the trash and vacuumed after they had left. The vacuum handle is still broken.
   When the store closed I left through the back door. I pushed my cart to Wal-Mart. Doris was the door greeter. I told her I would just leave it there while I shopped. She said that was cool. I looked for a ride because Nick wouldn't be there until 11:30 p.m. and it was only 9:10p.m. The first person I asked was the girl at Subway. I forget her name. She couldn't do it because she was headed to Clinton right after she got off work. I asked Sally, who is a cashier at Wal-Mart. She said she could do it. I used to serve Sally when I worked at Kelly's. She was crazier back then. I shopped because Sally wasn't off until 10:00 p.m. I checked out through her lane. I was her last customer. It was perfect timing. I used my Quest card to pay for the food I got. I used my check card to pay for the laundry detergent I bought.
   Sally punched out. I waited by the door for her to walk back back up. I loaded the boxes and groceries into her car. She drove me home. She said she knows Jim, my step father. She said she brought someone out here to see him when he lived here. He used to live right next door to me when my mother was still alive. Sally said she could give me a ride anytime she's working at Wal-Mart.
