We never heard any more from the woman that was arrested. I bet she was shocked when she woke up in jail. I'm sure she is still there since she assalted an EMT.
Last night when I got back to Birmingham, my air conditioner was broken. Thank goodness it got down into the 60's last night. I slept on the sofa under the ceiling fan. At one time, I woke up with a little bit of a chill. It's repaired now. It is so good and cool in here.
I didn't buy much in Huntsville. The only thing I bought was some Clinique eye shadow in Blackberry Frost. It is to replace the Benefit black orchid that popped out of my hand and into the toilet last week. YUCK!! Belk's had some good prices on things, but I didn't see anything that I couldn't live without.
I only have to work 3 days this week. YAY!! One down, two to go.

I'm feeling better about everything at work. I'm beginning to learn things. It's not difficult, I just don't have anything to practice with.
Last night was a very interesting night at the store. Remember, every day is a full moon around here. First, the Coca-Cola man came in inquiring about a lady that he had hit earlier. He hit her and she took off. How weird.
Then, my mother and I went next door to eat (my brother-in-law's restaurant is about 6 feet away from the store). There was a woman sitting at a table by herself. She looked like she was about to fall out of her chair. The waitress said that she acted normal when she came in. She drank one beer and then started saying crazy things. They think she may have taken some kind of pills. My brother-in-law didn't know what to do about her. He didn't want to call the police, because they would just take her to jail. He finally decided to see if he could take her home. She just looked at him and turned her head away. He wanted a woman to go with him. I went and got my sister to get her to go. When he asked her again if he could take her home she said "F__ you!" Then my sister starting talking to her and said "Let's go outside and talk." The woman kept dropping F-bombs. Finally the woman went out and got in the passenger seat of her late model Mercedes. My brother in law again tried to talk to her. More F-bombs. He then decided to call the police. When they got there they tried to talk to her. They called the paramedics because they thought she may have had something wrong with her. When the EMT tried to take her blood pressure, she punched him in the nose. He refused to try to help her. The police decided to arrest her. When they tried to put handcuffs on her, she tried to get away. She ended up going to jail anyway. Usually when the police come on our property, it kills business. Last night it helped business, because everyone was wanting to know what was going on. I'm kind of curious as to what today will bring.
My mother and I are going to Huntsville today. She needs to get some last minute items for her trip next week to New York and Boston. I hope we can find some good buys.

I'm getting settled in with the new bank. I've got a lot of stuff packed and shipped. I have 6 large boxes to be shipped tomorrow...as soon as I can find a "Superman" to help me get them to the Fed Ex drop downstairs.
I ordered some Stephen Bonanna sandals back in April and I still haven't received them yet. I took Preppy Sue's advise and contacted Vivian. She is going to check on them. I hope I don't offend Angie at The Pink Pelican. I figured the hold up is not Angie's fault. If anything is said, I will definitely apologize. I like The Pink Pelican and will continue to shop there. Angie does a great job of running it. She has even opened a new store on the other side of Huntsville. I never knew that Huntsville could have so many Lilly fans.
I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday. I am ready for this week to be over with. I'm also ready for 5:00 on Wednesday to get here. I am taking July 3 as a vacation day and of course will have the entire weekend off (I have to work at the store, but that's okay).
Happy Friday everyone!

Queenie is still acting crabby. I think it is just to my coworker and I. I saw her in the ladies' room. I smiled and said "hi". She just snarled and avoided eye contact. I got railroaded into setting up breakfast refreshments for a meeting on Friday. Breakfast for 50 people. If it happens again, I'll have to let my boss know that everyone thinks I'm responsible for food. I only reserve the room, if someone wants food, their department is responsible. Luckily Jason's Deli delivers.
It's thundering outside right now. It's dark outside and it is only 6:30. I hope it rains. We really need it. I hope we don't have another drought this year.

Lands' End Free Shipping Code
For Lands' End free shipping use Promotion Code: CANOE, PIN: 530553085. It expires June 26.
I just ordered 2 fine gauge cardigans: true navy and black monogrammed with red. Free shipping helped alot.
There are advantages to living alone. If someone saw me now they'd leave. I have on green gingham seersucker capri lenth pajama bottoms, pink with green polo man t-shirt, pink polo socks, navy Lacoste stretchy headband, Saucony walking shoes, and dots of Kiehl's drawing paste all over my face. I look frightful.

Today, Queenie was crabby again. When she's like that you can ask her a question and she just ignores you. My coworker and I realized that it's not just her, but all the other assistants are acting a little cool toward us. They make snarky remarks about our not having the same training that they had. NEWS FLASH! We don't do the same job so why would we need the same training. We decided that we are going to segregate ourselves from them and just go about our own business.
Today Queenie had on a brown skirt, brown vest and a candlelight stretchy lace camisole underneath the vest....and white sandals. Some of the guys are starting to roll their eyes at her, so it's not just us catty women.

Today was my first day working for the new bank. For those of you that have not been reading my blog for very long, the bank where I work was acquired by a much larger bank. I couldn't play on the new system, because I really didn't have anything to play with. I don't like to snoop into other people's accounts. Queenie acted mad at my coworker and I. We think she is jealous because we weren't required to go to a lot of training. She's always acted jealous of our position. Coworker and I work for the top executives. Queenie works for a market executive. I'm just assuming that is it, but she is always crabby on Monday. If she were a drinker, I would think she had drank all weekend and is hungover, but she rarely ever drinks.
Today, I wore a madras jacket with a khaki skirt. I got onto the elevator with this man that is always pretty crabby. He looked at me and said, "Oh!! I just love your jacket! I want a blazer like that." It sort of made me feel good, but all I could think of was Herb Tarlick in his polyester plaid jacket.(Herb Tarlick was a character on WKRP in Cincinnati).
