It’s the time of year when I buy new things.

New journal, new daily planner, so I am ready for 2027.

I was writing in my planner the number of cases that I completed in the office one day last week, and my coworker was like, I just put it on a sticky note. Meaning the sticky notes on the computer. I don’t work like that; I write all mine down in a planner. I told her I was old school, but why can’t I just write things down?

Years ago, I was a receptionist at a motorcycle dealership. At the time, I was also in college. One day I was studying while I was at work. One of the salesmen noticed that I was writing notes down in a spiral notebook. He told me that putting notes in a Word document on the computer was so much easier. I told him the way I was doing it was easier for me; he would not leave me alone.

Every time he came by the desk, he mentioned how much faster I could take notes if I typed them. He tried to show me on the work computer how to use Word. Then he tried to explain how to use Word. Finally, sick of it, I yelled out, ‘Will you please just let me study the way I want to study!’

Then he got that man hurt, where the pretty lady won’t let the man be the hero, looked at his face, and said, ‘I was just trying to help.’

I won’t even begin to get in to how much I hated that job. All the people there sucked. Not a single one was a good person in any way.

Any way, my middle son’s work is giving a cash prize for the best Halloween costume. Yesterday we went out and bought different things to piece together something. I told him he looked like a Wendigo.

So that is what he is, a Wendigo.

Ok well, that is all for me today. Have a good Tuesday.
