Nice! What'd you two watch? Do you two have any favorite movie snacks? I love to eat popcorn, sometimes when I'm not even watching a movie haha. Its just a yummy snack for me.

Aaaa that's so cool! I hope you win the contest! I'm also glad it sounds like the petticoats weren't as much trouble as they could have been lol, nice~~


I know there prizes for district, region, and company wide. I don't think there was anything for store, even then I don't think my store manager would like that. She's a really nice person and she would pretty much ask me not to be counted since I'm at an advantage compared to my co-workers.

I honestly do respect her as a manager and if her (or our former store manager) wasn't at the store anymore, I would probably just leave. I've dealt with too many managers to put up with them.

Popcorn, crackers, or chips do well for snacks. We both drink diet pop. No alcohol of any kind. Drinking is not our thing. Have no problem with others drinking as long as its responsible.

We watched "Annabelle: Creation" and a couple of generic horror movies that had a variety of scary stories in them.

That's so cool!! Let us know what you end up winning! biggrin Also that's fair lol, cosplayers definitely have an upper hand in costume contests.

A good team lead/manager makes such a difference. I've definitely left jobs before because of poor management or personality conflicts.. confused

Do you have a favorite type of popcorn/chips/other? Though I usually just make normal bags of buttered popcorn, my favorite is cheddar or kettle corn. For chips I like any flavor lol. While I like to drink alcohol socially, I can understand why people prefer not to. I think it's important to respect people's preferences.

Though "Spooky Season" is over, I started watching Sweet Home on Netflix. I like it a lot so far! I'm on episode 4

These days we go with the cheapest prices for chips and micro popcorn. My wife (retired now) would buy Kroger brand items at her store. Some of the best tasting chips is Better Made chips made here in my hometown of Detroit.

As for alcohol when I was younger I went to bars with people from work and bowling alleys. I have no problem with social drinkers. Coke always for me. One thing I always do for my friends is if they had too much to drink I took them home. I'm usually the designated driver. I always want my friends to be safe and I was firm on that.

That's good! Safety is always important. I lived in southern Wisconsin for 3yrs and I was surprised how different "social drinking" is from the version I knew in Northern California. There's a lot of times I would hear of coworkers driving home when they shouldn't :s I'm glad you were there for your friends so everyone could stay safe

I really don't see much 'don't drink and drive' comments in Idaho, but I also live in Mormonville. I think the population for my town is 90%.

I did hear it a lot in Washington, but I never knew anyone personally who did that kind of thing. Even my one exception has an exception themselves.

Technically, I'm going to be dressing up for Halloween, but I'm going to be staffing at NekoCon. But I'm bringing Stein out of retirement, so...

I haven't fully thought out what I'm going to do for Halloween.

My work team is doing Sesame Street as the theme this year, but I make costumes so I don't have extra money. I may do something like Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service or Pokemon Go Girl, Frodo from Lord of the Rings is also possible.
