Sunny day

Hello again. Today is bright and sunny compared to cloudy all week. I can not believe it has been a week since I saw the sun up in the sky. Last night I saw the moon shining bright. We keep getting stranger weather every year. Indian summers used to be rare, now them keep occuring. One winter a few years ago people were wearing shorts in December, knee deep snow is normal. I hate brown Christmases.
Today no one brought a newspaper in so I try to keep myself busy talking, filling in crossword puzzles, and playing on the internet. I work with a moron today at work. He has been here for a year and still has yet to learn how to find things on an atlas or use the mileage chart in the back of the atlas. I have seen him hand over the 40 page atlas over to customers to figure out for themselves where or how far a place is. The rest of us look up the unknown place in the index, locate it on the map, and then look at the roads to decide how to direct the customer there. I hate it when he tells customers that she (meaning me) will give you directions because I'm new here. He has been here a year.
I can tell wrestling has come to town today. My coworker sits on the airport benches for hours watching the passengers get their luggage. He chases every wrestler down to get their autograph. I never seen him run so fast. He sometimes shows me magazine pictures of people he has gotten autographs from. I never watch professional wrestling so I lack the enthusiasm of my male coworkers. It is amusing watching get excited. They tell me wreatlers are easy to spot because they are taller than everybody. One night four coworkers got a football player's (I think) autograph and carefully placed packaging tape over it to laminate it. The gal he rented a car from had him sign a book, poster, and shirt. She proudly shown them off to us.
Tomorrow I get to babysit my baby niece so her parents can go out for dinner and a movie. I'm excited. I love to babysit, when they are related to me. Babies are easier to entertain than school-age children who complain they are bored all the time. She has cut her first tooth. Next we have to teach her not to bite. One month until her first birthday. I bought bath toys and Christmas books for her birthday.
Nothing else going on in my life today. Signing off. Good-bye!
