 By Bonijean Isaacs Feb. 8, 2008 Thus far, Virginia has proven to be an okay WORK CONNECTION but the dubious quest for LOVE seems to be in the distance. Last year, I followed a love connection to Texas and found WAL-MART instead. The Romance went south so I kept going west and ended up in Silver Springs , Nevada . There was NO LOVE in Nevada but WAL-MART was thirty some miles away. My plan was to keep heading for California but things changed. I ended up back in West Forgotten By Santa Virginity with its abundance of minimal wage jobs from Hades. Happily across the boarder from West Virginia is Virginia is for Lovers and WAL-MART. My Mecca in Virginia is to see Monticello where Thomas Jefferson slept with Sally Hemmings. The Rumor is that Sallys final abode is in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn in Charlottesville . This is property that belonged to her son centuries ago. My ideal date would be a sight seeing tour at Monticello and High Tea at the Hampton Inn. If Thomas Jefferson slept there (among other things) so can I. Nevertheless, Monticello is in the near future. LOVE is in the distances thus my focus is on WAL-MART. Last week, I got a phone call from the Lead Assistant Manager. Could I come to work Saturday? The Produce Department is shorthanded and needs help. Also there is a 90 day evaluation that needs to be completed that day. So..Saturday Morning, I discovered the top selling fruit at Wally World. One Banana, Two Banana, Three Banana Four, Nah! Nah! Nah! Five Bananas, Six Bananas, Seven Banana More.. I noticed that there was fresh mud still clinging to some of the banana boxes. The bananas come from Central America . Years ago, I was told about an old Santeria Spell. Send an undesirable someplace far by mail mailing them dirt from that place. Chuckling, I pondered on the possibility of the Texas Truck driver who broke my heart to Costa Rica . Heh! Heh! Heh! After the bananas were happily in their place, I started stocking the other produce including a box of cucumbers. A husband and wife started inspecting the cucumbers in the box. How much are they the man asked. I am not sure because I havent found the place to stock them yet. Let me find out. His wife grabbed a couple and placed them in the shopping cart saying she already knew the price. After the couple left, a young man in Gothic Attire started admiring the cucumbers. Cool Cukes! We need to make Cucumber Slaw for the Super Bowl. Do you know how to make it? the young man asked. Interesting, I suppose you make it the same way you do coleslaw. There is ready made slaw mix by the cabbages and you can always check out the cookbook section for more ideas. The young man grabbed several cucumbers and bottles of ready made slaw mix and headed for the cookbook section, while commenting that he would try both. Shortly afterwards, a group of women walked up to the box and started picking out cucumbers for their shopping carts. What is the price dear one senior lady asked. I havent checked yet because I usually work in meat section, I answered. Who needs meat when there are so many marvelous Veggies, another granny lady commented as she added cucumbers to her stash of tofu. The next time, I stocked a second box of cucumbers immediately before the customers had a chance to get them all. Although selling a bunch of produce before they reach the shelve is not an entirely bad thing. I was finally headed for the break room when I was stopped by the Assistant Manager. Sigh! That man will never know that I think he is an absolute superb specimen of masculinity. He will never know that I fantasize about pouring pomegranate juice all over his body and feeding him strawberries at the Hampton Inn. Alas, Much ado about nothing. More likely than not, hes married. Plus hes Management and Management is not allowed to romance the Underlings. Life on Lifes Terms. The -Assistant Manager advised me that the Lead Assistant Manager completed the 90 day evaluation for him to go over with me. The Evaluation was good and I got a Raise. Yippee!!!!! My Goal is to complete six months at Wally World where I am at and transfers someplace else that is really for Lovers. I am halfway there. Before I figure out where I am going next, I am going to experience Monticello and High Tea at the Hampton Inn. ------------ About the Author: Bonijean Isaacs is an Astrologer and Freelance Writer in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
