QVC

At my last job, my immediate supervisor was completely infatuated with QVC, a television shopping network.  Once she told me how she went to the post office to retrieve a box she had bought from the show and ended up with 37 boxes.  She hadn't realized she had ordered so much and ended up returning a lot of it but every time I saw something new, I'd have to ask if it was a QVC purchase.  9 out of 10 times it was.  This past week a co-worker had to explain step by step to a customer about our product and basically introduce her to the web.  She had to explain what a URL was and where to find it, multiple times.  After she got off the phone, she said it was a young blonde who used to be a model for QVC.  My boss is an awesome person, so full of life and willing to do whatever it took for her employees.  I just had to let her know about this coinkadink! =)

Leslie

When I was in 4th grade my mom had a co-worker named Leslie.  This lady was so sweet and I loved to hang out with her.  One week my parents went on vacation and left me with her for a week. That's where my memory begins.


I don't remember much of that week but I do remember it being the first time I ever seeing a house with a security system or a house being renovated.  The other thing that I remember about that week is that I got really sick and Leslie and her husband didn't have any chew-able pills for me to take.  I had tried before but had not been able to swallow a pill.  They gave me this teeny tiny pill to swallow and it took me forever but I finally did it!  I guess I have to think Leslie for widening the variety of pills I can now take.


The reason I thought of Leslie the other day was because of a jacket I saw hanging up in a store.  It wasn't a fancy jacket or on a big display.  It was a Colorado Rockies jacket.  Leslie loved the Rockies.  I remember getting a prize for my AR reading points where there was a variety of things we could win.  I won Rockies tickets, which thinking back now was weird since we were located around Topeka, KS.  Anyway, Leslie was with me and I wanted to impress her  so I acted like I loved them, but secretly what did I know about baseball (at the time).  I didn't want the tickets to go to waste so I told my mom to give them to Leslie a few days later at the office.


This was kind of a random story, with no point except to point out once again how things relate and remind.  Thanks for reading!

All the Single Ladies

I had a friend, Dusty, who loved to drunkenly dance.  He wasn't very good but it was funny to watch and he didn't mind the laughter.  Loved it actually.

I've heard a lot of things about this show, Glee, but never watched it.  So far I'm not that impressed but they just sang the All the Single Ladies by Beyonce.  Made me remember him trying to remember the moves, both of us surrounded by friends.  I don't talk to Dusty much anymore.  We had different interest and grew apart.  We also had varying attitudes about life but I will never forget some of our conversations and his very different outlook on life.
