Thursday!!

Woke up, cleaned up after Pete and his band of merry men's beer party on the back patio and then picked up around the house a bit.
Then I went to the viewing of my bosses dad and came home to help motivate some boys to get going.
Helped unload the trailer, washed Pete's glassware so it can be integrated into the kitchen, broke up boxes, carried more down the stairs, did some laundry, ate Red Robin (free thanks to my birthday coupon!) went swimming at Pete's parents hotel and now I'm FINALLY here checking in for the day

ditto, except cleaning up after the boys party last night. It continued after I went to bed and had planned on picking up in the morning, but Bethany beat me to it.

The dog kept me up late shaking and panting right in my face because of thunderstorms.
Working then dogsitting some more. I think Pete's going to meet me at Chipotle for some dinner and bring me the 4th HP book, I accidentally grabbed #5 and I'm pages away from ending #3.

I got called for a reference on Pete today and was able to give him GLOWING reports

It's been really hard getting back into the flow (work!) I've concluded that I'd like to be a travel writer and eat my way around the world on someone elses dime. Know of any opportunities there?

The vacation was nice - very relaxing and ate some tremendous seafood. Two weeks isn't long enough anymore though.

I need more - more I tell you!!!!!!

Yuh, but you should have seen what PETE did there.

$3.99/lb. Prices were up a bit over last year (only 50 cents/lb) but naturally - I found the best deal!
Some places were over $6.00/lb. They van sell those lobstrs to the tourists - I'm a New Englander.

By any chance are you asking because you need help with your crabs?

I took a travel writing class a few years ago... from what I got out of it... you pretty much have to do it on your own dime then hope you get reimbursed later.

Another bad career move!

Today just took a shit on my face.

Is that counted as one of your free lunches?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
What happened, TB?

Stupid sales errors and the manager who has assured us for months that she is enforcing with the reps that they MUST NOTE EVERYTHING NO MATTER WHAT just worked on a high maintenance order and emailed the manufacturer back and forth multiple times and DIDN'T NOTE ANYTHING

What the EFF?!
Also, in about an hour I get to talk to a really really pissed off customer!

That sucks TB, there are no easy answers in that situation.




Bob, I don't need help with my crabs, they're doing just fine on their own. They requested no help.

They never request help. They're stubborn that way. Very independant.

Working then making chocolate chip cookies. I realized I needed some ingredients last night and I had no money till today.
Also need to cut the lawn and do a load of towels.
Riveting stuff people, RIVETING

That creek walk yesterday wasted me, I just got out of bed! If only I could sleep that well every night.

Not much planned for the day, we'll see what happens!

you don't have to worry about the lawn, I'll take care of that when I get home.

I'm having lunch with my parents, driving home, unloading my car, going to my new job to fill out paperwork, then I have to go shopping for work clothes because the uniform is the two items I don't have (khakis and black polo), then mowing the yard, and getting ready to work sometime on Friday.

Hopefully I get it all done.

Thanks for cutting the lawn Pete! I'll be home right after work (well after a stop at meijer for cookie ingredients) The ice machine has not caught up with you just so you know

It has been crisis after crisis here at work and I'm also trying to figure out how to stretch my budget at the same time. Should be fun!

Only if I find the right khakis, they usually don't look good at all, so I'm going tomorrow to try some on and see what I can find. I'm very particular about pants for some reason.

For the love of all that's good and holy AVOID PLEATS!
