Today I had the FORTUNE of taking the train into the city.
It was quite nice & a commute I surely miss.
I was going into town to take a Civil Service test to be a state employee
at a Wine & Spirits store. Liquor stores are STATE owned in PA.
Yes, quite archaic & there have been recent movements to
change those laws but for now they are intact.

Hello my name is HELEN — sitting in first class

The testing center is in China Town.

this chair caught my attention — the other one had
“the shizz” written on it…..
the only thing better would have been to get the pictures of
Big Daddy & Shizz………..

someone knitted a sweater for a bike stand
where you lock up your bikes …. only in China Town!

The line for the Civil service test was LONG.
I am not scheduled to take the exam until 11/18
but one can go on a standby basis which is what I did.
They will MAIL my results which seems so archaic considering you take
the test on a computer & they COULD give you instant results.
The test was fairly easy if one is good in Math.
WEGMANS JOB update…..
I was able to accept the job offer with Wegmans which I am SUPER EXCITED about.
They offer mega training & there is ALWAYS so much to LEARN in the wine industry.
I go tomorrow to finalize everything. This is an exciting opportunity for me.
I hope everyone is as excited as I am !!!!
