Whistle While You Work

I went to Sam's Club this morning. I had two things on my list:

List
Diapers
Wipes

And I was annoyed before I even got into the store because my general feeling about Sam's is annoyance. And also, I got stuck behind an elderly lady that took 14 bajillion years to get out of her car, which was parked in the middle of the road. And I was in a hurry.

Why was I in a hurry? I don't know. Other than that I'm always in a hurry at Sam's. I'm always in a hurry, and I'm always annoyed.

And then after I'd gotten through the line I noticed a manager of some sort, who was walking up and down the line of cashiers, shout-singing to each of them about what a great job they were doing, pumping her fists in the air.

I love people like that, don't you? She made my day.



















And I left not annoyed at all [except at myself for having been annoyed at something so stupid] and somehow no longer in a hurry. And then a man in the parking lot took my cart back to the store for me. I love it when people do that. Don't you?

I'm going to whistle while I work today. Even while I [shock!] put away laundry.

  2. See, Mary Bullock won't sit in ANY cart that is not a race-car cart, so I pretty much avoid all stores except Publix when I have her in tow. I used to be able to carry her, but those days are drawing to a close!
