Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

 

So tonight will be the very last Friday I probably ever work again in the store before moving on the Conestoga Mall location. (Admittedly I'd prefer it being the last Friday I ever work at a Bentley store, period, but to all things in good time.) I'm not exactly sure how sentimental I'm going to get, especially since I do have to work tomorrow's shift as well. But for the most part this will be the last real time I get to work with all my friends who share the same sufferings and desires to impale all the stupid customers we meet on a really big and pointy stick.

After that, it's a whole new crew that (heaven help us all, me especially) I now have to inspire and command. The really sad thing is I have no idea what I can get away with personality-wise. Everyone here at the current store knows I can launch into my "Fabuloooouuus!" routine at the drop of a hat. They equally know that I can string unusual words together and create some colourful new vulgarities. Now I'll probably have to be some paragon of virtue and work ethics. Where's the fun in that?

Oh well, in the end all I can do is brace myself for Monday and hope that I'm not forced to dismember anyone and stuff their remains in a suitcase. (I swear, one of these days someone's going to find a corpse in a suitcase, and me shooting my mouth of in this blog will come back to haunt me.)

In other news, this Sunday Mel and I get to make a break for Niagra Falls and the US. Whereupon after crossing into the States and marvelling at its beauty, we'll turn right around and go back to Canada--whereupon Mel can officially land, get certified and everything, and then shortly thereafter apply for a SIN card. And after two years of being stuck around the apartment, she can finally start working here in Canada.

For some reason I've now got David Bowie's "Changes" rolling around in my head. It's appropriate, at any rate.

Turn and face the change... (cha-cha-changes!)
