The wal-mart Card

I don't like wal-mart, and i don't like the wal-mart card. I don't even like to capitalize the w on wal-mart because I don't think it should be a proper noun!

When I go shopping for school I go to Country Mart or wal-mart in Iola. Or I go to Hoovers in Burlington...depends on what I am getting and who is having the best sales. The wal-mart cards don't work and I am never buying for just one thing. I always have to may like 3 transactions and the CSM (which I think stands for Crabby Service Manager) always has to key in the credit card number and doesn't want to do it. IT IS THEIR JOB! Not all parts of a job are great fun, there are lots of parts of my job I would rather not do, like go to wal-mart at 5:00 on a Wednesday but I don't really have a choice - it's my job.

In 8 minutes I am going to go to wal-mart, spend 1.5 hours, use three carts to make 4 transactions and spend about $250. And the second I walk in the CSM will walk away and turn her pager off, what a coincidence! Dumb card!
Welcome to my world. Nothing too exciting going on here....I am a teacher and enjoy telling my friends about the interesting things that happen in my daily life. I find the most pleasure in the simple things that occur daily. Like the brilliant sunsets as I drive home from work or the way Maggie whimpers and paws when she dreams in the kitchen or the way Cody starts my car when he leaves for work just because he knows I don't like to be cold.
