Back into the Poop & Scoop

I start my first day of work tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit nervous, excited, curious = all of the feelings that go along with starting something new. Tomorrow is just an entire day of orientation, so not too bad, however, there is substantial trepidation associated with having to set my alarm clock for 5:30AM.

I was just sitting here gazing out my window and thinking about what to do with my last few hours of retirement when the couple, I believe, I spy on walked by across the street and had a minor incident with their canine companion. To recap, I was forced to spy on this couple when their arguing (or I should say her yelling) was so loud that I had to pull a chair up to my window and listen. On that occasion he ended up leaving, after substantial verbal abuse, and she continued to hysterically sob for a couple of minutes before the show was finally over and I could continue on with my life.

Tonight's events were much less dramatic, but amusing nonetheless. Apparently, their dog took a crap on their next door neighbor's lawn and they were called out on it by the disgruntled neighbor as it was happening. At first they seemed to be owning up to it as they professed that they would pick it up and the dude went to get a bag. I sat entertained as I watched the chick squirm with the delinquent doggy while she waited for him to come back. Then I heard her say, "Hey, bye.. we're picking up the shit!" and after the dude squatted down to do his duty he added audibly, "Yeah, next time try not to be such an asshole." Now, granted I only heard their side of the conversation, still, I don't think I like this couple very much. Spying on them tends to depress me.

Here's to hoping that first impressions of me tomorrow are more on the positive end of things. Wish me luck!
