Funny story! As most of you know, for the interim, Michelle has taken a job as a cashier at a local grocery store. Well, two nights ago at a particular slow point (I’m assuming) during her shift, Michelle’s supervisor asks her to go “face” aisle 9. Michelle agrees to this task and goes and stands in front of her check out line. She stays at that particular spot until her supervisor comes up to her and asks her what she’s doing.

Michelle says, ‘I’m doing what you asked me to do! I’m facing aisle 9!”

Those of us who have worked retail know that facing means to bring everything on a particular shelf or display forward so as to make the overall effect pleasing on the eye. Michelle had never been taught this, and her response to the task was to actually look in the direction of the aisle 9.

No one could say she was facing in a different direction, anyway.

By popular demand, or, actually, by singular demand, I have drawn zombie Shannon:

Shannon has been zombified into history, and now I must concentrate on my animation. Well, as much as Michelle and the girls will let me. Finished the Christopher Moore book, as well, even though I shouldn’t have been reading it. My goal, which changed from my original one of not reading it at all, was to read it as fast as possible so Michelle could start reading it. It was very, very funny. There were points on the C-train where I wanted to laugh out loud but had to contain myself due to not wanting to look insane. I must say I probably looked even more ridiculous when I was trying not to laugh than if I just let it go. I’m pretty sure that holding in laughter is hazardous to your health.
