sunshine0221's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabula Rasa Tabula Rasa I�ve been doing some work for the guy who owns one of the thrift stores in town. Helping him with ebay listings, and things like that. Anyway, a few days ago I got an email from his wife, M, asking if I wanted to work in their shop part time. Heaven knows I can use the money, and I�ve never worked retail, and hey new experiences and all that, so I said sure. So I went in yesterday, learned all about the customers to watch out for - including the annoying eccentric hypochondriac, and the magician that can steal money without you seeing him do it, because he�s a magician after all, and how much the things that aren�t tagged cost, and where the money�s hidden. And I met a witch!! Anyway, M introduced me to a lot of people, including one of the part-time employees who made interesting hand motions while we were talking. As she left, M offhandedly said, �She�s not well liked around town. Because she�s a witch. And the hand motions she was making while you were talking with her? She put a spell on you.� Gah!!! Just what I need, now I have to worry if she�s a good witch or a bad witch, and what kind of spell she used, and what to do if I grow horns, or have bad luck, or whoknowswhat. Here�s the weird thing. Around 8:00 I all of a sudden had a killer urinary tract infection. Normally they come on slowly, over days. This time, one minute I was fine, and the next minute I was hanging out in the bathroom. A lot. About this time I�m thinking that the witch put a UTI spell on me, and wondering what I should do about it. Also thinking of Tabula Rasa, and how important it is to do spells and counterspells properly or bad things could happen. So I slugged down some cranberry juice with a grapefruit seed extract chaser, and went to bed. And when I woke up this morning I was fine. Normal UTI? I think not, it was the damn spell. And next time I go back to the store? I�m wearing a cross and garlic necklace. 9:55 p.m. - January 17, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
