• I remember last year 'round this time, that a seasoned stalag veteran (of whom I was yackin' with in the break room) says "look at all the new faces!!"...I didn't know, being new myself, but today, like a tidal wave of newbies, it's that time of year, I guess, when they're hiring up a storm.  the only difference now is they are hiring in directly.  These newbies don't have to spend months, and months as temps first (which half way pisses me off, but what'cha gonna do, right?).  the place is awash with fresh faces.  amazing!!

  right after work, we take us a quick pooperdog walk (2 bagger), then I make some spaghetti using penne regate noodles (zetti?). it's delish! I, once again, separate the left-overs into 3 tupperware for stalag lunches.  Thursday night, I did some food shopping.  the store carries it's 10 items for $10 (with the 11th free) sale.  I buy a good number of items, taking advantage where I can.  spaghetti sauce just happens to be on the list. the money I save on these items quickly gets squashed by items such as peanut butter, which for reasons unknown, is thru the damn roof (along with bacon, and a select few other things). I don't know as I've ever paid over $5 for peanut butter!!  is there a peanut shortage of some sort?  anyway.  I left the store with a goodly amount of grubbage for about $60 (that ought to hold me for a spell).  tonight, while making spaghetti, I drank the remaining 2 Schlitz.  now it's time to sleep, 'cause 4:30am comes around way toooo fast.
