DVD, DVD, DVD

Well, I was nabbed to stay another week in EWR. I agreed. I should be back in SEA though. The work is getting pretty tiresome, the split shift is getting harder and harder. Yesterday, I went down to the city, Chinatown in particular. I went back to get DVD's. I was reminded of when I was in Shenzhen, China last year. In the mall, and on the street, there would be people, whispering, "DVD, DVD, DVD". Anyway, I bit, and said, "what do you have?". The lady, an older Chinese woman, popped out a handfull of covers. She had all the new releases, The Ant Bully, Lady in the Water, Descent, etc... As in China, these are illegal, what can I say. You probably have a fake Coach bag too. ha ha ha. So, I ended up with Ant Bully, Miami Vice and Pirates. I thought I had chosen Monster House instead of Ant Bully (I went to the AMC and saw Ant Bully yesterday on my split) Oh well, what can I expect for $3. We'll have to see the quality when I get back.
Weather has been better. After the heatwave last week, yesterday and today are quite pleasant. Not too hot, in the high 80's and very low humidity. Yesterday was an awesome day to head out. I also went to Union Square and the Farmer's market. There is great produce on sale all fresh and grown in the burrows. The Art show nearby was interesting, you could say nudity was the theme. Whole Foods was across the street, so went there to buy water. I love Whole Foods. I think cuz it's a trendy place to go grocery shopping. Yes, the prices are outrageous, but quality is pretty good. I think that's why the Bellevue location is so successful. Don't think one in White Center would fair as well. : )
The new agents will be on staff on Monday, and Suzie H will be their coach. Yeah! We'll have to see how the existing AC agents handle it. There are so many rumors about what's gonna happen I can even begin. The biggest one, is that since these new agents will be exclusive to AS, will the get good shifts and weekends off. Most all of the AC agents have at least 15-20 years of service and weekdays off. I personally don't think it's fair that they get the best shifts. The only difference is that they have not been trained on the AC system. Eventually they will, I guess. Oh well, I'll see what happens.
