4 feet 2 inches of trouble

I am super extra bored today. I didn't bring a book and there isn't much to do. Do you ever notice that when there is not much to do, it makes it hard for you to actually do the things that need to get done? I have some copies to make. Not very important copies, but copies nonetheless. Just the thought of getting up, walking over to the machine, pressing the start button, and then stapling the documents is so exhausting just to think about it makes me unable to get out of my chair. It was bad enough I had to go up to accounting this morning.

I have ANOTHER job interview on Friday and a phone interview tomorrow. I suppose I could prepare for those. I talked to Grammy (my 94 year old grandmother) and said "Hey Grammy I have another job interview next week!" Instead of the excitement I should have heard in her voice, all I got was "so many interviews and no job...never heard of that before..." Thanks Grammy, thanks a lot.

For those of you that don't know Grammy is about 4 feet 2 inches of trouble. If you don't eat at least 2 servings of whatever it is she is serving, you will live to regret it. Since she is so old and cute people just expect her to be old and cute. She does that pretty well but what people don't realize is that it is all a scam. Grammy loves to get free shit. She gets more free shit than anyone I know. Because if you are old and cute people feel bad charging you for things. People also rush to hold doors and pull out chairs. She however is much more capable than her age gives her credit for.

When she walks into a room it is like watching the seas part as people stare and point and move out of the way. "Isn't she cute?"..."Look how little that woman is!" Yeah yeah yeah we have heard it all before. Just move out of the way and get the woman a chair. Sitting is in fact much better than standing and Grammy is a pro at finding places to sit down. It tends to work out nicely for me because I hate standing as well and when you hang out with her you are almost guaranteed to get offered a seat next to her.

She is pretty slow these days but she gets there eventually. She has opted against a wheelchair and a walker but holds a cane. I say holds because although she sometimes walks with one it does more to impede her movement than assist it. She just holds it while she shuffles around. She doesn't use it to balance or support herself in any way, so I don't quite see its purpose. But hey whatever works. Although she worries about falling she isn't too concerned because as I mentioned before she is only about 4 feet off the ground. There isn't really very far for her to fall.

Anyway, hopefully I will get one of these jobs and can actually give Grammy something to be proud of!
