21 days makes a habit?!?

So I'm really trying to stay committed to this. I'm on day three. :) I haven't been to work today so I don't have a "here's what happened today" story. I do have a random observation though. I must confess that I've never read Brave New World. I know, I know, this makes me a bad English major and a bad hippy, but oh well. I do own a copy though, and as soon as my thesis is no longer haunting me, I'll read the book, I promise. Anyway- I did watch the made-for-TV movie a LONG time ago. I remember there being this outsider character (according to Spark Notes, his name is John), like the only living creature not in the distopia. And since he was an outsider he could see the insanity of the community. As one of the newest Hobby Lobby employees, I sometimes feel like John. For example, every time I do something wrong on the register after I've already hit taxable, I have to cancel the whole thing and call a manager "for an overring." This basically means that one of my managers must come to my register and give me a slip of paper that I have to fill out and attach the receipt to. I'm ok with this (after a few weeks of thinking "what in the world..."), but the other night I thought, "Am I the only one whe thinks this is nuts?" when I was indirectly scolded for having used blue ink on the form instead of black and for having marked something out on the form. Both of these rules seem petty to me. The weirdest part though, was that the manager at the time said these things to me as if anyone would know those rules. Why would anyone just know that you must use black ink and you must not mark it out? I may think she's nuts, but, knowing me and my ability to ask where the bathroom is while standing right in front of it, it probably states both of those rules somewhere on the form. I'll look today when I screw something up and report back. That's all for now.
