So I sent in the paperwork for the next promotion today. I still have some of my continuing education crap left to do but most of them are pretty quick. I guess the wife and I are going to have to sit down and discuss where we are willing to move if that should come up. It’s a damn site easier to get promoted if you are willing to relocate.
Hell, I don’t even know if they would put me on the promotable list. Chances are I will end up with some type of a six month development plan rather than a promotion this time but I have been in my current position for a year now and we are only growing. Hell, the only reason we don’t get bigger faster than we already are is because of people. That’s pretty much how it’s always been though.
There are a lot of possibilities as far as where they could send me. We’ve got hundreds of restaurants around the country. Around half of them are franchise but we still cover everywhere from Texas to Florida up into the Carolinas. Somewhere on the gulf coast would be nice, although the wife doesn’t want to move to Alabama or Mississippi because because of the school systems. Hell, I could end up in east bumblefuck south Georgia somewhere for all I know. I already live in west bumblefuck so it wouldn’t be much different.

DC Madam Commits Suicide
Just two weeks ago Deborah Jean Palfrey was found guilty of running a high-end prostitution ring which catered to the Washington D.C. elite. Thus the moniker “D.C. Madam”.
According to police in Tarpon Springs, Florida, Deborah Jean Palfrey was found dead earlier today, having hanged herself in a storage shed near her mother’s mobile home. Her 76-year-old mother Blanche Palfrey found the body. You can read more of the report at CNN as well as Yahoo! News.
Palfrey left a suicide note, actually more than one. There were at least two (I don’t know the exact amount) handwritten notes that explained why she killed herself. Palfrey had not been sentenced yet but prosecutors estimated she was going to receive a sentence between 57 and 71 months.
Last year Palfrey told ABC news that she would never return to prison after serving time in the 90’s for prostitution related charges. She damned sure didn’t lie about that one.
Thursday Thirteen #13: Alphabet Week!
|
So since I have last participated in the meme they have been giving out a general theme for each week. This weeks object is to pick a letter of the alphabet and then list thirteen words about myself that begin with that letter. Damn, this is hard. OK, Today’s Thursday Thirteen post is brought to you by the letter “M” (not to mention the fact that Bert is evil)… 1…. Manager I did say they would describe me but I didn’t say they would all be true…I would have put masturbating but that was earlier… |
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
Thursday Thirteen #12: Thirteen Reasons She’s The Love of My Life
It’s been quite some time since I participated in Thursday Thirteen. Prior to going to the Bahamas as a matter of fact because I had fully intended on putting this list up then, for Valentine’s Day. I’ve just gotten busy. Wednesdays and Thursdays (and now Tuesdays) are extremely long lately and I have been coming home late and just posting scheduled stuff if anything at all. Anyway, I am glad to finally post this! I am not normally prone to posting sappy bullshit, particularly for meme’s and stuff like that but what the hell!
I am actually posting two of these. This is the one I started in February. The one for later today is a theme that they have going on!
- She manages to put up with my chauvinist pig attitude with a smile (and a smack)
- Can’t sleep without her anymore
- I feel complete
- While we both have things we do apart, sometimes it’s just more fun together
- She puts up with farting in bed (although that might be mutual)
- She has given me three beautiful children
- Sex (hey, it’s a healthy part of any relationship)
- After 20 years I am still learning new things about her
- She learned how to cook (thank god)
- She understands it’s OK to just be together and be quiet
- She puts up with my job
- She knows I am a pig and accepts me for what I am!
- She’s the most beautiful woman I know
