…but not physically. I have been in a horrible mood all day long, as my waitresses figured out pretty quickly. I generally treat everyone the same way no matter the mood, but I am always much quieter, and at one point I snapped at one of them after she had done something stupid.

The wife went to pick up new shoes for the girls, so I asked her to pick up some vitamins for me. I have been just plain exhausted at work for the last couple of weeks, and I think that attributed to my mood a bit. It might just be that I am about a month overdue for a vacation, and opening this new store back in October has worn me out.

Either way, I need to seriously get some time off and R&R very soon. I don’t particularly care what’s happening at the store, and am only interested in getting the hell out as soon as I can in the afternoon. I go on vacation at the end of March, and can’t wait. I don’t think I am going to end up going anywhere on this one, so I will be getting my yard right and getting my garden planted. Believe it or not, that is just as relaxing as being at the beach. Maybe not as relaxing as being there with beer, but it’s close.

…One can only wish. I don’t know what it is but I have had the hardest time getting out of bed the last two mornings. I feel like I just went to bed a couple of hours ago, which is far from the truth. I suppose it could be worse. I could actually have had to work all night. They called at 10:30 PM. One of the waitresses was sick. I think I pissed her off. I told her that if she had to go, then go, but that there was nobody else to call in, and I couldn’t work 1st shift, and 3rd, and then 1st again, unless she was going to cook in my place this morning. Then I went back to sleep. It means that the place is going to look like shit this morning. We’ve got to be there this morning anyway, so we have seven hours to get it cleaned up.

I have done a couple of advertisements for the Nutz that you hang off the back of your truck. Well, apparently Maryland delegate Leroy E Myers Jr. has filed legislation to get them banned there. I could really care less about the things, but it’s just one more case of someone in the government thinking that they know more about morals than the rest of us. I call bullshit.
