Subway and Weak Scores

So I've spent most of this morning out by the catalog area (which is also where all our stock and docking sites are) checking out UNICEP Christmas cards to make sure none of them have a weak score. A score is the line in a card that makes it easier to fold in half or tri-fold.

Anyway, some of these Christmas cards have weak scores on the left side corner of the scores, which means when you fold the card, it rips. We don't want that. So I am checking each box, unpacking and repacking the cards, and making sure each box have 500 each. We have a weight meter that counts out the number of cards you put on it from the weight. Which saves time 'cause I was originally thinking I would have to count them out by hand.

I didn't have to bring lunch today 'cause the marketing department brought in Subway. Free food is always good for me, mostly because even though I am no longer a college student, I am poor enough to appreciate the nuances of a free meal.

Bills are pouring in and I am developing an aversion to my mailbox, which is saying alot for those who know me and my mailbox OCDness. I have no need to check my box more than two or three times a week, which is very strange for me because back at CUA, I would check my mailbox three or four times a day, even though I knew there was no mail. It's just that if mail goes through my head, I have to do something about it. I can't ignore it or put it off for another day. But mail doesn't go through my head here as often as it did back in Tulsa and Austin. Here it's too long of a walk from my apartment to my mailbox and I more than likely have bills as opposed to letters from family and friends. (Hint, Hint)

My life is going pretty well, aside from the people demanding money I don't have problem. I've discovered a new musical...Annie Get Your Gun. It is so cute and funny and the kind of musical that makes you wonder why love like that no longer exists. I bought myself the DVD and got one for Becca and am now waiting for Amazon to mail it sometime this week or next week. I really do recommend this movie/musical. I would love the opportunity to see it live on stage. That would be awesome. I blame Stephen for my love of life theatre. So far, I've only seen three life performances, one musical and two ballet: Les Miserables, Romeo and Juliet, and The Great Gatsby.

I loved every single one of them...well, actually, The Great Gatsby does not lend itself to good ballet...Romeo and Juliet on the other hand was written to be a ballet. The next Broadway show I would love to see is Phantom of the Opera. Someday, I'll be able to see that. I would also love to see Chicago, Rent and Annie live on stage. I think it would be a definite treat.

Well, I don't have much more to say and my lunch hour isn't even half over. Oh yeah, I start Wednesday Bible study at St. Mark Lutheran today with Kevin. The Wednesday group is studying 1st Corinthians...that should be fun...I took that class with Giese when I studied Major Pauline Epistles. I am enjoying being a student once again, at least in that manner.

Anyway, until later!

Oh yeah, Shortcake, thank you. I will eventually put up more and I have a couple of favorites that I want to print out and get framed. Well, hope to hear from you soon!
