I think they finally found a job for me that I'm qualified to do. A greeter. Actually very similar to something I used to do for the university business office during registration. A "pointer". Before the new systems came online, we used to have arena registrations with long lines. I used to stand at the front of the line, talk to the student to see how they were funding their education and point them to the cashier best able to help them with their needs. It was actually fun and continued to volunteer to do that for years during registration.

Unfortunately, we do have a Walmart up here. Strange, when you go to Fred Meyer, I always see a lot of familiar faces. When I stop at Walmart, I rarely see anyone I know. It seems to be popular with new arrivals and travelers.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-24992225773651318422013-05-16T07:17:40.954-08:002013-05-16T07:17:40.954-08:00Dom:
