| Fall Leaves |
Son K has interesting days at his part time job where he has worked for years. They employ a lot of students who come and go. There is a pretty girl who gets a lot of attention from the guys (and even from older male customers). She told K that most people would think it is flattering, but 90% of the time it is annoying. She also sounds like a nice, polite girl.
The other day K had to exchange one of his work shifts. He was having trouble finding a replacement as they are a bit short-staffed at the moment. Luckily, this pretty girl was on the shift he wanted replaced so one of the guys volunteered when he realized who he would be working with that day! Needless to say, the girl was not pleased with this replacement as the guy has been texting her a bit too much and she doesn't like him 'that way'.
Ah, the lives of the 'barely-adults'! K is just having a good chuckle about the situation and happy to have his shift replaced. He actually tried to borrow the girl's phone to send the guy a friendly text 'from her', but the girl smartly said 'no'. So nowadays, 'why doesn't she call me' has become 'why hasn't she texted me?'

Yes, texting instead of talking, not really romantic.Glad K is having fun and finding his way in the world of work, and I am glad that girl can look after herself. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
Waiting for a call or a text seems better than waiting the few days it would take for a return letter. Being the popular girl looks nice from the outside but I can see how it can get annoying. She needs to move to an industry where you get tips. Then she can get rich and the money takes away some of the annoyance.
Yes, the lives of the 'barely-adults'! It can be quite entertaining :)
Older men can be quite creepy when it comes to pretty young women. I had a few co-workers who'd get hit on by that huge age gap.
That's so funny. Glad for K that he got a replacement.
good tip Mark, seriously.
What lovely fall colors in your photograph! I'm glad he was able to get a replacement, but I can definitely see why the girl would rather work with your son!
I'm glad that he got the replacement. Another gorgeous photo, I love this time of the year
Yep, texting is the new "calling!" I find it a little humorous, the way men will fall all over themselves over a beautiful women. I worked on state govt. where most of the men were old in my prettier years and the old perverted married guys were the WORST! They're just skeevy. Makes you wonder if their wives know how gross they are.
Christine...loved your photo, but the comments were most entertaining....thanks!
Yes, I'm sure it's just so annoying to be told that you're pretty :-)
ahaha Ivy
I love your photo, Christine! I know that I am way behind on technology, but here in Montreal we still have plenty of pay phones. I don't have a cell and I have never texted anyone or received text messages. I have my laptop and this is new to me, as up until 3 and a half years ago I had a desktop. It took me some time to get used to this laptop, but I must say that I prefer it to the desktop, it takes up less space and I can actually lift it. I broke my right wrist in two places in a work accident 8 years ago, and I was 50 years old at the time! The reason I say this, about my age, is because up until then I had never broken anything...only sprained a ligament. I am not supposed to lift more than 5 pounds on my right hand, as even though the movements came back the strength didn't, and with my osteoarthritis, my fingers have been damaged over the years.
