I have spent most of the last two days in the new store getting it ready. The health inspector came today, that was pretty much a non-event. I won’t get a real score for five or six weeks and then they will come in and do a real inspection.

I spent most of the day today setting up and breaking in new equipment and then spent the evening with my boss going over schedules. I only have about 25 holes in the schedule, so it could be worse. We have pretty much hit critical mass and if I don’t open now, I will start losing more people than I can hire because they have to work somewhere and can’t sit with their thumbs up their asses waiting on me.

I will spend most of tomorrow and tomorrow night doing training classes and making sure everyone knows the things I am anal about, then Saturday I will spend the day prepping some of the stuff that will hold for a few days.

We open on Monday afternoon, I guess I will feed the people that work for the city from 10-2 and then open the doors to the public at 2pm.

Of course I am still running my other store until Saturday night, so that has been a big pain in the ass to keep going. I’ve only been there for five or six weeks, don’t want to be there, and pretty much don’t give a fuck if it burns down right about now.

There is a sign in front of a local church that I pass several times daily:

Halloween or Hallelujah!

Heaven or Hell!!

I just want my fucking candy bars. Keep the rest.

The weekend has been pretty nice but unfortunately it had to end. I may take a couple of days off work later this week since I open the new shop next Monday and all I seemed to do yesterday was sleep. Shortly after my brother left yesterday I lay down on the couch for awhile. Woke up two hours later. Still I went to bed around 8pm last night. Damn I have become a lightweight somehow.

I did manage to get someone’s computer fixed last night, and although I am pretty technically proficient, I have never really attempted to burn a DVD other than for data backup, so I recorded a show to DVD, and it works. woo hoo. Holder goes to school on my daughter’s birthday, which actually happens to be Tuesday, and will take cake volcanoes and give a lesson. The show was “The Magic School Bus Blows It’s Top” which is about volcanoes, so I guess they will be watching it as well.

Today and tomorrow will be my last productive days in the Carrollton store (productive as in actually working on the floor and cooking) as long as everything goes well. I still have a ton of stuff to get done before the week is out. I’ve got to schedule a meeting up there with the health department, and get my bread and produce deliveries set up as well. I have at least three interviews this afternoon, hopefully I can set up a few more, as I still need about ten more people, 20 according to what my bosses want me to hire. That’s probably about right since several of the people that I hired will only be good for a couple of weeks.
