Three Strikes?
OK, this is my third attempt to post. For some reason I'm just not getting it I guess. Lol..so this one is gonna be short and sweet and kind of a "testing, 1,2,3" blog. I just want to make sure this one goes on right.
Ps. Three people got the Holy Ghost in the first night (tonight) in our youth revival! Our theme is "To Know Him", and Nathan Keating, our speaker, hit it right on tonight in the preaching and it went right along with the theme. Awesome first night. It's gonna be an exciting weekend.! Tomorrow night is gonna be incredible. I'll definitely keep you posted!!

Do NOT Put Your $ Where Your Mouth Is!
I work at a bank as a teller supervisor. It's a great job. I work with wonderful, positive co-workers, and the hours are great. What I didn't consider when I took this job was possible health issues. =)
Sick Dollars
I would say that being a teller behind a teller line is really actually one of the most likely work spaces to become terribly sick. On the "Job Most Likely to Contract a Chronic Illness" scale, a teller would probably be at the top along with a coal miner and a sewer cleaner!
You think I'm kidding but I was thinking about it the other day, every Friday I go home feeling like I'm coming down with some kind of bad cold, and it seems like people are always getting some kind of stomach flu or horrible sickness around me and it's no wonder. Money is filthy! It is wretchedly filthy! We are a pretty small branch compared to our other branches but we move a lot of money. It's located near tons of businesses, mainly gas stations and fast food restaurants, that bring in anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 every day each.
Germ-Free Environment?
When I run a stack of 20's through the counter, it literally spits out a cloud of dust every time. I always hold my breath, and I would turn around but I have to watch the money very carefully just in case there is another random denomination in there. Its so disgusting when I stop and think what I could be breathing. Sometimes I know what I'm breathing. First you have the heavy smokers, it could be both cigarette or pot or some kinda nonsense like that. (please don't be offended, its the truth!) Then you have the people that didn't take a shower that week, who pull the money out of places I won't mention here, gag!!
I'm Warning You!
It's just not a pretty picture. So think twice next time please before you go to hold your money in your mouth for a moment to grab your food from the drive-thru lady! And no, I have never done that, but my friend did it one time and I then immediately gave her this "talk".
I'm sure everyone is aware of the germs on money and all, but just take extra care when you handle money next time, put on some anti-bacterial stuff at least temporarily if there is no where to wash your hands!! I don't know about you, but it's not something I thought about all time before I worked at the bank.
So for real. Don't let your money be the root of all your illnesses. Just go buy some 99 cent anti-bacterial stuff. Be prepared! You could have just handled Mr. "I never wash my hands"'s money!
That's all for now, and that's Surge with Virg signing off!

Meet Virginia!
Ok, so after about three or four days of struggling to figure out how to get on this thing, here it is finally. For some reason, I had so much trouble logging on!
So I've been thinking about what to write to start off this adventure. Lots of stuff came to mind, but I really need to go ahead and get this over with first:
My name is Virginia. Its very simple. It's not Victoria. It's not Veronica. No, I'm very sorry, but contrary to many people hoping that I was born in Virginia so they can ask me whereabouts in Virginia and what city and all, I was not born there, and I have never lived there
Anyways, I was named after my good ole' Aunt Virginia, my dad's sister. Apparently, they made some kinda deal when they were kids a long time ago to name their kids after one another, I don't know. Thing is, dad has four daughters. He could have picked anyone else to have the name.
Ok, so you might think I'm making a big, stupid deal out of all this but you can not imagine my suffering. (ok maybe a little dramatic=)
As a little girl, people called me all kinds of things before they used my real name..but that wasnt so bad. The worst thing that has ever happened to me was when the pop group Train came out with "Meet Virginia". Talk about a conversation piece. On and on through the years when I meet a new person. "Hi, I'm Tom, whats your name?" Virginia, nice to meet you!" Ooooo!! Meet Virginia, they sing with such a glow of pride on their faces as if to be the first one ever to sing that to me, and then they see the blank stare, "I guess I'm not the first one to sing that to you huh? hahahahahaha"
Then I politely chuckle along with them singing under my breath, the old song "Leave Virginia Alone"...hahaha now that's a good song! =)
So in other words, I've heard all the songs, all the comments, any possible joke you might have, I've heard 'em all! It is now time to move on!
Thanks for listening!
Don't forget to tune in next time for more Surge with Virg!
ps. Special thanks to the editor for his longsuffering! :)
