Well. Been several weeks. Lots to report to the two or maybe three people that may even see this. But I find writing cathartic at times. Alas, too cathartic and I must be more careful on how much I write about.
Anyways. Have been very busy. New store is open and is beautiful. 28,500 sq ft. Pretty big. Not as big as the two story 42,000 sq ft. store at the mall that I transferred from. But we like our store just fine. Business sucks, however. Weekends we are kicking ass but weekdays are HORRIBLE so far. My depts. plan for last week was $6850. I did $5680. But the business will grow, we just need to be patient.
Things are normalizing finally and I am getting my 2 days/wk off, in fact I`m taking a 3rd off day this week as I worked labor day and salaried mgmnt doesnt get extra pay, we get a paid day off instead. So I was off Sunday, took the kids to the fair, I`m off Wednesday and Friday. Not bad.
Lauren/Buffy has an opportunity to study in Australia this summer but it will probably be very expensive and I have no money to speak of. I am making much more but "she who shall not be named" is aware of that and is continuing to take advantage of the situation. I really dont feel like getting into that right now.
Matthew has a competition Saturday before Yom Kippur, so I`m going to take Sat/Sun and Monday off, go to his competition (record it with my new toy!) then bring him back with me for Sun/Mon. (Yom Kippur). This means I must go to schul and do the whole prayer thing to set a good example to my son who was Bar Mitzvahed a little over a year ago and was very proud. Lauren doesnt want to come with us. Dont blame her really. She will worship with her mom and live in pseudo rabbi person..something else I do not wish to get started on right now.
Oh..my benefits kick in 9/26!! I will have health/dental/vision/life...insurance. I am going for a full physical 9/29. This should be interesting. Havent had one since 2001 I believe.
I`m hot and tired. Going to put on monday night football in a bit, crank up the a/c and zone out.
Until we meet again...Here`s looking at you kid.
