ACCOUNTANT BY DAY

The other day I was in the Wal-Mart over on Roe, and their eyeglasses center had a huge poster sign urging everyone to “Change Your Look!” It was pretty hilarious because it featured these two before and after shots, and the before shot featured this poor sad girl photographed in bad lighting, with no makeup, and frizzy, unkempt hair, and with red, tired looking eyes behind her glasses. The after portrait, of course, showed her in good lighting, with clear and healthy skin, with bright eyes, and her shining bounty of hair arranged in a cascade of perfect corkscrew curls. If contact lenses can do that for me, I’m buying 8 pairs tomorrow.

In other news, I have experienced no shortages or overages in the two weeks since I began locking my drawer regularly. I think it’s making me a lot more alert. My boss gave me next Friday and Saturday off. I’m looking forward to it. And I’m getting holiday pay for today even though we’re not open. That’s nice. I’ve never worked anywhere with benefits before!
