News from Work:
Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a lot of pink is to be found in the store. There's special pink printing on different cans and boxes, there are special pink signs posted, and there are even special pink shopping bags, of the reusable/recycleable sort.
Along those lines, Dixie and Stacey, two of the lead floor managers, have decided it would be a great idea for all the cashiers to wear pink t-shirts on Saturdays, if the idea gets approved by Mark, the store manager. And Mark will probably say yes.
Dixie asked me yesterday if I would be willing to wear a pink t-shirt on Saturdays, if the plan goes through. Well, sure I would. Only, of course, I don't own a pink t-shirt.
Dixie joked that I could have der Brucer wash a red t-shirt with a white t-shirt. Only, of course, most t-shirts are being made color-fast these days. And I do my own laundry, thank-you.
So, while Bonnie was stinking up the car, der B and I checked at some of the stores in the outlet malls we have here in Rehoboth.
No pink t's at Jockey. At least, not for men.
No pink t's at Nike. No pink t's at Old Navy. No pink t's at any of the stores we checked.
At least, not for men.
I'll have to try downtown, where there are specialty/novelty t-shirt stores for those with souveniers in mind. I might be able to find a good pink t-shirt there.
But it's not just for myself I'll be looking. There's also Larry, and Jim, and Karen (from eastern Europe - the second syllable is accented), all of whom I doubt have pink t-shirts. Well, maybe Larry has one. I know Ed, who handles customer service, has one, because I've seen him wear it. So I'll be looking for two Large (for me and Larry), a Small (for Karen, who is very slight in build) and an Extra-Extra-Extra-Extra Large (for Jim, who doesn't look like Karen at all).
It's either that, or try dying some plain white shirts.
If we're going to do that, we might as well go all-out and dye them Barbie pink.
I wonder if Dixie and Stacey have any idea how much trouble they're causing.
