Well, I had a nice Sunday. Unfortunately North Carolina didn't.
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful lunch at IHOP. However, North Carolina got soaked today. Yep, we really got lots, and lots of rain today. There were even places that got some flash flooding. In fact, I saw some big puddles on my way back home. Well, looks like we don't have to worry about a drought here in NC this year. We got lots of rain.
The subject in church today
Well, today in church we talked about faith. It seems Western culture has a high emphasis on fact. Well, to be honest, at times, so do I. I mean like you I feel I need some of the facts in front of me to be certain. I would often go in Wikipedia or any reputable (or semi-reputable as this case may be) look for any evidence. Well in most of Hebrews 11:1-4 it reads "Now faith is the assurance if things hoped for, the conviction of things NOT seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval..." I guess, that should tell us something.
I feel we all need some faith at some point in our lives. Different things can build faith. The person who gave the sermon, who like me also graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who is now an associate pastor at my church, said the stories other people shared with her (yes, she is a woman, and we allow women into the clergy into the United Methodist Church) and those stories built her faith. I guess, I can use some of those stories. My girlfriend gave a book about UNC sporting moments and faith. I guess, that should be a good thing to read when it comes to faith. Well, guess my girlfriend and I are going to enjoy a yummy lunch at IHOP.

Well, about to head off to church
Yep, it's Sunday morning here in North Carolina. I think I missed bible study, but I will go to worship service at 11:00. I have heard that the pastor at my church has left we are about to get a new one. Personally, I think that is a shame because I liked him. I hope I like this new person. However, it's hard to say. It's just hard to fill the shoes of another pastor.
I will be meeting with my girlfriend at about 2:00 for lunch at IHOP. I hope she doesn't mind the whether. It's supposed to get up to 83 degrees fahrenheit. That may not sound too bad to some but late last night we got a bad thunderstorm (as well as another bad thunderstorm the night before). And I think most of the water from the rain has now evaporated. That would of course increase the humidity. Yeah, it get pretty humid here in NC. But I guess that's just a typical summer here. I hope that we both enjoy lunch at IHOP.

Well, just got off work and recorded my receipts
The receipts I use for budgeting. That give me an indication on how much money I spent. I mean, in these economic times you really need to be careful as to how much money you spend. After all, and yes, I am sure you heard this cliche a million times, but MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES. So, yes it's only prudent that we keep track of our money.
Anyway, I worked at Harris Teeter this evening. I closed second shift again. The good news was I finally got my prizes for the USO donations. After all the money I collected I decided to go with one free steak dinner and seven (yes, SEVEN) free lunches. They give us cards that we present to customer service when we decide cash in our free lunches or steak dinners. That way they can keep inventory of all the free lunches and steak they gave to employee and tell them why they didn't get any money for the sale (they promised the lunch or dinner to be free and that is the proof that we cashed in our free lunch or dinner).
However, not everything was good today at Harris Teeter. I was operating the U-scan (self-checkout lane). We had a wine spill that happened. A customer accidentally knocked his bottle of wine on the floor. To make it even worse it was red wine. We definitely had to clean it up immediately because that job STINKS, LITERALLY! I mean, I have done some clean ups with red wine and BOY DOES IT SMELL. I mean, it smells AWFUL! I guess, white wine would smell bad too after it spills but not as bad as red wine does. I mean, I like red wine but I do not like the smell of it after it hit the floor. I mean, yes, I do like the taste of red wine. But when it spills IT REALLY STINKS! What is even worse which means it can stain the floor. So, we had to get a mop and bucket as well as paper towels. As well as a broom and dust pan (to sweep up the glass and throw it away) and two safety cones (to inform customers that the floor is wet so they don't slip and fall). Later on I too dropped something on the floor. A jar of olives. Fortunately, they don't smell as bad as red wine does. And we didn't have to use as many paper towels. But for that I take full responsibility. I dropped those olives on the floor.
I had a person who wants to follow me on twitter. I gave her my screen name. She is young high school girl. I think she should have a bright future a head of her. I did tell her one of the jokes I posted earlier on this blog. She thought it was funny. It was the joke about the swear word evening news reporters hate the most which said was positivity, also saying that yes, to evening news reporters POSITIVITY is a swear word , especially hearing the reports they usually give us. I shall keep her name anonymous though. But, I ended up following her on Twitter as well. I also started following one of the managers on Twitter. I wonder if he will follow me. I shall keep his name anonymous too. If you would like to follow me on Twitter my screen name is TarheelAaron04.
I guess, I didn't stay too late by myself. I know being the person closing second shift I cannot leave until I am relieved. However, I was alone for only 30 minutes. There was another cashier there to work with me until 10:30. Well, at 11:00 my relief came. Then I went home and recorded the receipts. I look forward to being with my girlfriend tomorrow. We are going to have lunch at IHOP. Hope you all have a nice evening!

About the Dow yesterday...
Unforunetly, it finished at 114.89 points in the red. And just when things were starting to look good. Well, maybe things will get better soon. However, it looks like June wasn't the Dow's month. I hope that we can all pray for the best for the world's economy. Yes, I pray that the world can pull through this difficult economic time. And maybe things can get better by decade's end. This I pray for.
There is one thing I am proud of...
I am happy this blog which has only been a around for just a little under two months, now has over 2500 pageviews. Thank you looking at my blog. It means a lot to me. I just hope more people from around the world will look at my blog. Maybe spread the word of autism awareness some. So, for all of you out there in the world who have been looking at my blog, I only hope you can support autism awareness anyway you can. I personally, would really appreciate it.
Well, about today
Well, just posted two more jokes on this blog. Hoping the humor can help liven things up. I will be working my job at Harris Teeter tonight. Once again tonight I will be closing second shift. There will be a third shift cashier to relieve me. I slept in pretty late. I forgot that today was Saturday. I thought I was late for work. I was just about to call the boss from Shoeboxed and tell him that I was going to be late, but then I realized that today is Saturday. Dang! Well, I know I will be working tonight.
I am going to contact the folks from TEACCH as well. I really HOPE there is something for me out there. I would like a career where I can make a living out of. Also a good full-time orthodox work schedule so it can be much easier to budget time. Well, hope you all are doing fine out there.
