West Palm Beach

One of the things I had mentioned at another site a bit earlier is the fact that when we eventually retire I might start looking at homes in Florida, perhaps somewhere along the coast. One of the ladies that I work with has family and some property in South Florida and it would be really nice to look at West Palm Beach Real Estate. It’s close enough the the Keys to go if I want but an extremely nice area and if I have to get out to go anywhere else it is pretty convenient. I spent a great deal of time in the area when I was younger and really enjoyed it there.

Time To Start Planning

As often as I work y’all get to hear me whining about vacations and days off quite a bit I suppose. With the year starting to wind down I have to go ahead and start planning next year’s vacations. With my boss, the other two district managers and three managers of my own each getting three vacations a year I have to get my requests in early because none of us can overlap. That’s 18 vacations to schedule in 13 operating periods, or 12 months.

It actually isn’t that difficult because I can overlap my managers with the other districts and division but just can’t overlap any of them myself. I was looking at Caribbean Cruises a couple of days ago trying to decide if I would be able to find child care for the week and if I even want to.

Halloween’s Coming

I love Halloween. It is one of my favorite times of the year. Part of it is the fact that it finally starts cooling down a bit, but it is an extremely fun time and I have quite a few fond memories of Halloween, more so as a teenager and an adult than I did as a child.

There is also the fact that at Halloween all of the nice looking ladies can walk around in public in their sexy lingerie and get away with it, but maybe I am just a pig.

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced To One Day In Jail

I don’t really know what to say except that I am pretty disappointed that she only gets one day. What a load of crap.

Blowing Wind…

I got home around Four this afternoon. It was so hot outside and in that damn car again that I though I was going to pass out or something. I had to drive from Carrollton, which about fifteen miles south of here and with no air it was pretty darn hot. I went ahead and straightened up the living room a bit and vacuumed downstairs as I knew once I sat down I was done for. Apparently more than I though. I lay down for a couple of minutes and they were just able to wake me up a few minutes ago although apparently they had been trying for awhile.

I walked outside and off in the distance it is thundering and lightning pretty heavily. The temperature has dropped at least 25 degrees outside. It’s amazing how much change the wind can blow in just a short time.

Unfortunately I have to go back to work in a bit less than an hour. I was hoping to be completely finished at the store I was at today but with the meeting being at One I had to run to another store to put out some fires.

Damn, just got off the phone with one of my managers and my third shift cook is trying to call in on me for tonight. That’s gonna cut things short for me online tonight. If I don’t end up working the shift I may be back on later.

Untitled post

I almost literally had to drag myself out of bed this morning. I am sore and tired. It’s been another long week and I’m glad that today is my last day. This is my seventh day this week and I am off tomorrow. Unfortunately my boss starts vacation today or I would be taking Saturday off as well.

I may be able to get out a bit early if I can get staffed though. Our normal weekly meeting is changing venues. Since it’s just myself and the other two district managers and the HR manager we’ve decided to have it at a local bar in Carrollton at 1 PM this afternoon. It should prove to be a bit livelier than the normal weekly meetings.

Thursday Thongs

FHM Calendar Girl Leah Dizon. I may have worked late at the meeting last night but you know I couldn’t forget Thursday Thongs.

Just Another Day In Paradise…

As I thought, it was around nine when I got home tonight. The meeting lasted most of the evening but we actually got finished earlier than we did last week. I had planned on coming home and writing a bit, but I think I will skip that tonight. I will probably schedule some news posts tomorrow when I wake up and may write a bit if I can awaken myself on time.

Now Playing For iTunes

I found yet another little app that I am using. It’s a now playing plugin for iTunes that publishes whatever I am listening to on Twitter as well as Facebook. Of course since I’m using the MT-Twitter Plugin that should in turn publish it here as well.
