Update of sorts

impyWork has an official moving date. Our current store will be closed June 1st and the new store will open June 2. The only downside to this is that I'm working 10-6 Wednesday night and then I'm on the schedule for 2pm-10pm on Thursday. That's gonna be... interesting.
Now people have begun calling and asking if the store's open. Honestly, I'm not really sure, other than the pharmacy, why we are considering entire sections are being wiped out to move over to the other store. *shrug* Hopefully anyone stopping by won't need school supplies. Oh, wait, they've already been by looking for that stuff.
I still haven't been inside the new store. I've heard things about it that aren't necessarily thrilling me. I suspect it's set up like most of the newer stores I've been in, where the aisles aren't straight and instead they stagger them weirdly. The AC isn't running at the right temp so they keep having to override it, I think? I get the impression it's possible to temporarily make it colder but that it won't stay that way without someone higher up being able to do something. It's summer, people. Heat index is set to hit 100 today. I think cranking the AC would be a good idea.
Let's see. Oh! Apparently the ladies room only has one stall. Our current store has two and there's frequently a line even overnight, so I can only imagine what this is going to be like during the day. Night ain't gonna be fun since all the surrounding stores who are open (not many) close their bathrooms because people are gross. On the plus side, no gross tiles overhead anymore. No tiles at all. So I guess we're getting that weird lovechild of a Lowe's and a bank like the store over closer to my house.
I'm trying not to complain because I haven't seen anything firsthand. Also, because I've got bigger fish to fry. My aunt is sick and if I'm going to spare any extra energy on things I can't really change, it's going to be hoping that she gets better.
30 random questions
1. Who are you named after?
My maternal grandmother, though it's not too far from my paternal grandmother's name as well. Just don't call me Mary Anne, dammit.
2. Last time you cried?
Sometime this month but I can't recall when.
3. Do you like your handwriting?
Sometimes? Sometimes it's pretty dead on for my father's (that's nifty), sometimes it looks like something you'd expect from a movie serial killer (less nifty), and sometimes it's pretty.
4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
Uh... to eat as lunch meat or to eat in general? Because hard salami and cheese is tasty but I would never put it on a sammich. :P
5. Longest relationship?
The significant ex, on and off for a decade or so.
6. Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes
7. Would you bungee jump?
Nooooo thank you.
8. Favorite kind of cereal?
If I'm buying myself cereal, I'm buying Raisin Bran. I like it. I'm old.
9. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Nope.
10. Favorite Ice Cream?
Gold Medal Ribbon. Though I will forever mourn B&J's Brownie Batter. The core is not the same. Also, Harris Teeter has an amazing Banana Pudding that is so good.
11. What is the first thing you notice about a person?
I dunno, it's different for people. If you're drunk as hell and walk into the door frame, I'm gonna notice that more than your hair or clothes or anything.
12. Football or baseball?
Yaawwwwn. Football because it's colder?
13. What color pants are you wearing?
Not wearing pants.

A burrito.

Nope

That color between blond and brown that isn't actually a color and is actually where light and color go to die.
21. Eye color?
Gray.
22. Favorite foods to eat?
In general or specific meals? Because ham & cheese casserole is heaven on earth. Fajitas are tasty, and cheese is always appreciated.
23. Scary movies or happy ending?
Can't your scary movie have a happy ending for someone?
24. Last movie you watched?
Uhhhh... if you don't count the HBO docs, probably Suicide Squad. o_O

Teal
26. Favorite Holiday?
Oh, please. We all know it's Halloween. Duh.

Sunday or Monday.
30. Favorite season?
Fall
