Not having to go to school is fun. I woke up at about 9:30. Actually got up an hour later. Showered and then crawled Infoc for anything fun to read. Didn't find much, though I've resolved I need to get either "Benthis" or "Miranda" into the RPG Forum (yes, those are names of my invented story characters who don't have a story yet). Anyways, after David came home I ate lunch and went to work at about 2:00 PM. I was at 4554 which is the former corperate store setup across the street from the main store (the one that was setup specifically cause the main store as an MBE was doing so well). It's a rather unique place since it has 6 stations where people can enter their own info, a conveyor belt, 3 shipping stations. It's a pure self-service shipping center and good at it. The packing area seems rather lacking on supplies, but that only matters if you want to send something fragile (speaking of which, I was playing soccer with boxes while loading the UPS trailer, it was fun). At the store are the two UPS employees (well, there are 4 but only 2 today) Frank and Chris. They all have jobs until next Friday and all have been paid as such. Frank is probably 40-50 ish, a short Black man, and funny. He wears an apron which contains perhaps everything you could possibly need to pack something (usually multiples of item, and oftentimes the phone too, though he fails to realize this until the third ring). Chris is younger, likely 25-30ish and slightly taller (though both are shorter than me). Chris is more serious, but today was really really slow and under the "watchful" (umm...right) eye of Bill so more serious wasn't really saying much. My day was spent enjoying their antics, learning how to do things on their systems, and changing prices over to the UPS Store level as opposed to the UPS Store level (yeah, that's the whole truth and not a typo). I was using a Stylus double ended for awhile in the process of changing price settings on the computer, it was kinda scary. That went on until 7:20 ish when we had the store closed down and were finially deciding how we needed to change things. The place is much larger than it looks form the outside, but very inefficient with most of that space. The "gate" for locking the store is a series of $5k glass panels depicting the globe with the words UPS in the center, it was disconcerting to say the least.

Today's French lession shall be idiomatic expressions involving the verb Avoir, but first we'll have to learn to conjugate Avoir in the present, here goes:
j'ai / tu as / il a / nous avons / vous avez / ils ont

Just for the record, Avoir means "to have."

All of these go Subject + Appropriate Avoir form + Situation Word (you'll see)
Faim (Hunger), Soif (Thirst), Tort (Wrong), Raison (Right), Sommeil (Sleepy).

So, I'm hungry is "J'ai faim". They are wrong is "Ils ont tort". You get the idea.

Apparently Katie has joined the ranks of the Christine-ists. How sad.
