Why Does This Always Happen to Me?
For some strange reason my boss really likes me... She says that I'm sharp, quick to learn, and eager to please. Mrs. W says it to all her good customers and because she's almost deaf one can't help but hear her. (it's not a very big store) She has for the past three or four days been telling me about her husband, aunts, nephews,and grandsons. Her husband was a mason and graduated college at 15 and got his doctorate before he was 21. Her aunts were all avid horsewomen. Her nephews are brilliant and her favorite is a neurosurgeon. Her eldest grandson is an anchor for CNN news. While all this was fascinating and has given me several short story ideas,my paranoid self wondered where this was going. I was expecting a lecture on "good breeding" but as she's going through all her pictures on her desk, she stops at the picture of her twin grand-daughter and grandson and asks me if I think the grandson is cute. I say yes and Mrs. W starts laughing, she commences to tell me how when she told that grandson that she had hired a pretty girl just his age (I'm not. I'm a year older than he is! For some reason she has it stuck in her mind I'm 16) He wanted to come over and see if it was true. His sister told him "No Way! You fall for any girl that bats her eyes at you! I'll go see" So Ms.K comes in and brings in two of her girlfriends. I knew one of them from job hunting and when they left (because the walls are so thin) that girl said that she liked me to which Ms. K said she'll do. SI apparently passed this family's seal of approval and this boy is free to pursue me. Oh! except for one little thing, I might not want to be! That's not their fault though, they don't know that I'm in a relationship right now, even though I told Jeremy last night we were just going to have to be friends... that just about killed me. I still am crazy worried about him. Anyway, tomorrow We have a lady coming in to read for Grandparents day. Right After I get off work I'm going straight to my Church's Third Annual Pig Roast. It's on the beach and My twin sister is coming in from Virgina especially for it! Hopefully I won't make a fool of myself and eat to much pork and end-up throwing up in the bushes like last time.
