Time off

Why is time off not really a day of rest? :)

Had a good but less than productive day today. HU's car is not running reliably and I had to take him to work. Had lunch with him later in the afternoon, then a 2nd lunch with a good friend going through some tough times. Then to Target, PetCo, then to pickup my daughter (and chauffer her boyfriend to the "pool hall" where he hangs out after school). Home for 15 mins then BACK to go pickup HU. Then to store on way home, cook dinner, then FINALLY sit down to relax at 8:30pm.

Time flies when you're having fun, eh??

It's been awhile

I've not posted in a couple of weeks here...it's been awhile. Kids started school and the money's already slipping through my fingers faster than green slime floods the stages of Nickelodeon TV. Why is everything so expensive?!? lol

Had a really good time in CO despite some adversity. Nothing reminds you to appreciate home like being ALMOST stranded atop a 9k ft high mountain. But at least it had a beautiful view!

This week my Assistant Manager's been on vacation and it's been really busy for me at work. Had a three hour meeting with my Regional Manager wherein he basically said, "average" performers need to be cut loose. Either they're over-achievers, pushing themselves to make 150% of goal or they're gone. Period. A "Satisfactory" rating is no longer good enough. "Excellent" was never able to be achieved though...go figure. Somehow I feared for my own job by the end of the coversation. Buy in to corporate bullshit or get out. Sell, sell, sell...sell WHAT exactly?!? We're a SERVICE industry and time again THAT'S what's bringing folks into our offices...the level of SERVICE we provide. NOT the products we offer to "SELL" them. *sigh* Not sure when they'll ever learn...

Time to get to bed....been SOOOOO run down lately and have another day and a half before I can get a break!

Congrats to my good friends Kim & Ian who just purchased a new house! :D Going to see it this weekend! lol
