After three months of unemployment, (okay I got those three writers "compensation" checks that are still waiting to be picked up because eventually, if I wait long enough, all together they will pay for part of my cell phone bill) I am officially back on a payroll. The lovely S&S Hardware has hired me on as their newest jeans-wearing, tool-selling, receipt-printing, person who knows nothing about tools or plumbing or nails.
One of my first customers what a disgruntled, middle-aged woman who was in a huff from the moment she walked through the door. She walked up to the counter, put a plunger on the counter, and proclaimed that it did not work. Yes, she had tried. Yes, she had speculations as to why it did not work. Yes she wanted a refund for the used, broken plunger that was now sitting on our checkout counter. Employment! I forgot how fun you were!
Also, Oldest Brother is officially moved out and moved in to his new house. He threw a party Friday night for friends, family and keg-beer fans over at the new digs. I came with my parents and left with my roommates because my parents were not done having fun at 3 am.
My brother, the homeowner. Yes, why yes, I am proud.

She put that dirty poo covered used plunger on the counter?! Wow! You're job sounds fantastic! Can't wait to come see you in action! I'm pretty sure I'm going to be in the market for a new phillips head screw driver in the near future. Yeah I said phillips head, I know things.
