10-21-10 Thursday (Weeeeeeeeeeee)

This morning I took an online test (simulation) for a bank teller position.  If the money is right then back into banking I’ll go.  Here’s a screen shot.  I had to work through 6 customers, make decisions about possible upsells to the customer.  I had to pick from different replies based on a customer’s request or comment.  I had to adhere to bank policy is listed in the “procedures” tab.  I had to make sure checks weren’t post dated.  I had to enter the information into a “computer” and complete the transaction.  It was pretty interesting.  I have no idea how I did.  I assume OK.

I picked up Tim this afternoon and we went to Walmart so that I could get a new pair of glasses.  I wear contacts 99.9999% of the time and my back up pair of glasses is ancient.  I might just be inclined to wear them more often now that Tim helped me pick out stylist frames.

Thanks Tim!

We browsed the store.  Tim spotted a pinwheel.  He immediately exclaimed, “weeeeeeeeee”.  Naturally I got him to pose for a photo:

Oh, sorry that was the inspiration photo.

 

Above/Below: Fun at Walmart.  Is Walmart fun?

After getting my glasses fitted, we were off to explore a supermarket called Aldi.  It was an interesting store that doesn’t carry name brand items.  It’s all off-brand/Aldi brand stuff.  The prices were very good from what we were able to tell.  It’s a no frills place boasting it’s lack of grocery bags help keep prices lower.

Back in July, a fire claimed a neighborhood house.   Here was a photo from that day:

They’re almost finished demolishing the house:

So, I unplugged my laptop today and discovered this:

It WAS the plug to my Dustbuster.  It left a mark on the carpet!  Lately the vac hasn’t been charging fully.  Maybe this was why.  I Googled around and didn’t see anything about a recall.  Yikes.

Carl and Tim came over for turkey meatloaf (mmmm) last night.  Here’s a few pictures of the pets:

Cute, aren’t they?
