At my work, I gave them my 2 week notice. And this was right before my new manager left for Iran for holiday. She came back and got nervous that I only had 4 days left of work. So yesterday, they hired Seth to come in.
A lot of cologne and a few hours later, he asked about smoke breaks. Clearly I don't smoke, so I go to ask my manager and she says we don't have smoke breaks. A little while later, she lets us know that it's okay, but please don't smoke where anyone can see you. Cool. But he didn't take a break and you could see him get so nervous and agitated. It wasn't until a commercial was on the tv playing "yankee doodle" in a very flute-like manner, that this agitation exploded. "What is that sound!?!?!?" Wow. I stepped back and explained to him the tv. Wow.
Before I left for lunch, I was informed that he wasn't going to be asked to come back.
Why? Because he's a smoker?
Nope, the boss wants a female to answer the phone.
Really?
Yep. That happened.
Just another reason I am glad to be leaving this job.
Oh, and the replacement we got today...it's his sister.

Clothing
First off, I bought a new pair of shoes. But it's like I got 2 for 1. I can't consistently tell what color they are. Sometimes they look black, sometimes they look brown. Fantastic! But also annoying.
One of the new shirts I bought has been begging me to wear it. I have almost worn it several times, but decided that I would wait for the 4th of July. It's important to wear a cute outfit on this holiday, as with any holiday. On July 2, I was looking at it hanging in my closet. Admiringly, of course. I noticed the tag. "Julie's Closet." What are the chances? How precious. It was meant to be. Then I noticed a little extra print: MATERNITY. What!?!?!? I totally tried on a maternity shirt AND bought it! I could not stop laughing. Mentally, I tried to shirk the meaning. It looked fine in the dressing room.
My mom does have an interesting observation though: clothes for pregnant women accentuate the belly. Clothes meant to hide the belly aren't found in the regular clothing sections. Guess I found that out...and bought the maternity shirt.
