Mine, Mine, Mine! not Mike Mike Mike!

I already thought of another conversation that I had with B. To set it up a little bit, she doesn't watch very many movies. Even old movies. She can't sit still enough to watch them, she says, because she feels she has too much other things she needs to do. (By the way she only has 1 child and he is 22 or 23 and does not live at home so it's just her and her husband.)

Anyway, a couple of other co-workers and I are always quoting movies and one we sometimes quote is Finding Nemo. A one of my friends/co-workers even has as her text message tone it says "Shark Bate Oooh-ha-ha" and then there's a guy at work named Bruce and some other girls are always saying to him "Fish are friends, not food."

Since B had never seen Finding Nemo I decided to bring it in on a Friday so she would have the weekend to watch it. Monday morning comes and she gives it back to me and says she really liked it. Here's where the conversation comes in.

The next day she comes in and tells me the previous day she was talking to K and she said "Mike Mike Mike!" and K looks at her with a funny look on her face and said "What are you talking about?"

B says "You know. From Finding Nemo! The part with the seagulls!"

K realizing what B was talking about corrects her and says "B they aren't saying Mike Mike Mike! they are saying Mine Mine Mine!"

B says "Oh my gosh that makes so much more sense!" (I of course am laughing at her)

B then says she went home that night and told her husband "You that part in the movie with the seagulls, do you know what they were saying?" He says "Yeah they were saying Mine Mine Mine!"

B says "I can't believe you knew that! I thought that they were saying Mike Mike Mike!" She said that her husband just rolled his eyes and couldn't believe she thought that.

Ok. This one was funny to me. It may not be to you but whatever.

You don't need a passport...

For those of you that come to my blog everyday or week hoping I updated it I have decided that since I never really have anything worth mentioning in our lives, I am going to start posting the insane and ridiculous things people say & conversations that I have with my co-workers here at Target in Fargo, North Dakota. I'm specifying the fact that I'm in Fargo so everyone that does not live here can try to relate to the me and feel my pain when I post these conversations. (And if any of you feel dumb after I post some conversations, I'm sorry. I'm not making fun of anyone. It's just sometimes I think my co-workers grew up under a rock for the lack of common knowledge and sense that they have sometimes.) So here it goes. The first dumb conversation:

A couple days ago one of my co-workers (we'll just call her D to keep her anonymous and to help follow along in future posts) D makes a comment saying "I saw a commercial the other day saying that you do not need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico from the U.S.! That's so crazy. I wonder why. That's really cool." (I hope some of you are already have the same reaction to this as I did.)

So I say to her "Of course you don't. You've never had to because Puerto Rico is a territory of the U.S. as is Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands." (I know there are a few more places I just only mentioned Guam and the Virgin Islands.)

D says " I never knew that. That's good to know." (Myself and another co-worker we'll call M just couldn't believe that she had no idea.)

So then another co-worker we'll call B says " I wouldn't travel there. I would rather go to Cuba!"

M and I look a each other and then look at her and proceed to tell her that she can't travel to Cuba.

B says "Yes I can. I can go where ever I want."

M says "no you have to get special permission from the US Govt."

B says "Since when?" (Please somebody have the same reaction to this as me!)

M says "Since for a long time! Bay of Pigs blah blah Cold War, Cuban Missile crisis, etc." (I'm obviously summarizing just a tad.)

B says "Oh really? I didn't know that."

I said "Yeah go ahead and go to Cuba just good luck trying to get back in and explaining why you were there."

B says "Well I don't care I would go to Cuba if I want." (I guess you first have to understand how B really is and the fact that she is saying she would go to Cuba is just crazy talk because this chick hasn't ever been to the ocean or taken a flight anywhere and is afraid of water because she can't swim. I'm sure if I would have told her that she would have to take a boat or plane to get to Cuba, I know the next thing out of her mouth would be "Well never mind then." I'm sure she probably thought you can drive to Cuba because that's the only way she will travel. I'm pretty sure the farthest she's been from North Dakota is Iowa. She is an awesome person and my favorite co-worker, but sometimes...)

Anyway, that's the gist of the conversation. I hope you have a little bit more understanding how some people's minds in ND work. Trust me, I'll have more posts to come with the insane things that they think of and say.

Update on promotion...

I didn't get the job.

Date night

So tonight Jason and I went out to eat at Chili's (where we hadn't been to eat at in probably over a year and a half. And we won't go back because ti was TERRIBLE food!) and then went bowling. It was fun! I'm not good at bowling and we only played 2 games because our fingers hurt, but we had a great time. There's not much to do in Fargo so we try to think of stuff to do. Here are a few pictures. I did hit a couple of strikes but I picked up more spares than anything that Jason started calling me "the spare queen."
(Donating a dollar for a cause and creating a pepper)

Haircut!

That's right. I chopped it off 10 inches! It was just getting so long and I could never do anything with it. I know my before pictures aren't really that but I took some after pictures. Jason was sad that I chopped it so short but it will grow out. I wasn't going for this short but oh well. What do you think?

Wish me luck!

Tomorrow I have "Round Robin" interviews for a team lead position. For those that don't know, I work at Target. And as for "Round Robin" interviews I have to go through 4 different interviews. A lot of the questions that are asked are the same questions worded 4 different ways. I don't know which position I'm really interviewing for because the 2 that are open I have experience in each. The one is in the clothes which would be the baby department and the mens' department, which I have experience in because I was the team lead of baby and the girls' department down in Texas before moving to North Dakota and in Flagstaff, AZ before I quit Target to work for Pacsun. The other one is for price change, which is what I do now (I help do all the clearance in the store.) Anyway, I'm pretty stressed out about it. I don't like interviewing. Wish me luck and pray for me!

Phoenix is Three!

Today is my cute nephew, Phoenix's birthday. I can't believe that he is 3 already. I remember when he was born. I was up in Snowflake for the Pioneer Days Celebration and I was so jealous that I couldn't be there to see him. I wish I could live closer to my sister so I can see him grow and my niece, Jersey, too. He is the cutest kid. I love to watch him. He is so happy and just such a little boy. He loves Cars, Indiania Jones, and Star Wars. I'm so glad that he is my nephew. I hope he had a great 3-year-old birthday. Happy Birthday Phoenix! I love you!
