…not from work of course, but off to get there. Fortunately my boss is taking the day off and since I have a twelve day stretch before me I may try and shoot out of there a bit early.

I just don’t know what to make of this story. It’s not that I don’t believe that people sleepwalk all the time but Christ, he made it all the way into the other room and put the 16-year-old babysitter’s hand in his pants. Sleepwalking my ass. I think that if I were her daddy I would be out with a hunting rifle about now.

I managed to get out of the stores at around 2:30 this afternoon, but I feel like I have been working all day. When I got home I hung out with the girls for awhile, then had to do a few reviews over at TheAppDotNet that took me a little while to get finished thoroughly.

I spent the better part of this evening writing up a statement for an ongoing legal investigation. I was interviewed back in January and wrote a statement then, but apparently all of the paperwork went missing, so I had to do it all over again tonight. I still don’t know what the status is on that. I am somewhat pissed off about it though.

For work I ended up spending quite a bit of time on the phone getting stores covered and calming people down. I have been putting out a lot of fires the last couple of weeks and just don’t know if I am making an impact yet or not. Perhaps it’s just too early to tell right now.

I haven’t posted a heck of a lot today, at least here but I may get a chance to get the heck out of the stores tomorrow early enough to get some posting done.

As much as I don’t want to leave the house I really have to get to the bank. Back later…

Someone was kind enough to leave a link to a site that has a Natalee Holloway time-line as well as a bunch of other useful links for those interested.

I knew that a couple of weeks ago the police had searched the Van Der Sloot’s (sp? too lazy to look it up) home and property again, but apparently they also searched the home of the Kalpoe’s as well. No other news has been forthcoming since then, but Deepak and Satish Kalpoe objected to the investigation (as would I) and had to be escorted from the property by the police. The news report that I read said that nothing from the home had been seized and no other details had been disclosed.

What I am wondering is if the authorities had found something else of value or if they were finally looking at the evidence again in a closer light.

…shit rises to the top. I am very familiar with the Peter Principle as just about anyone that is in any kind of management position is as well. Ron has a quick post up about the Peter Principle that I can completely relate to.

People are so damn stupid. Perhaps I will wait until about 11AM today and call everyone on third shift that decided to call me last night just to make sure they are doing OK and getting plenty of sleep. Considering that I was THERE until 10PM they could have asked some of the questions then.

“Why are there three waitresses working tonight?”

It’s Friday night!. One of my three managers actually called at 11:47PM to ask that.

“We dropped most of the money in the safe and don’t have any fives or tens.”

This is the store that sits in the middle of a shopping center, which includes a 24 hour Wal-Mart. I suggested (very nicely) that someone make a trip to Wally World.

I don’t remember what the other three calls were at all. My head is pounding and I almost didn’t get out of bed this morning when the alarm went off.

I managed to get home from my meetings about 8:30 last night. Pretty long day. Rather than sitting up late as I do sometimes, I hit the sack by ten so that I could get at least a few hours of sleep. All was well until about one this morning when they called me. The police were at my store because the two waitresses had been fighting.

…so much for sleep.

…and I just about lost my cookies laughing when I read this post over at the Zero Boss.
