happy happy joy joy
I woke up in an amazingly good mood. I don't know why. I have a cough and cramps from my rag but that's not spoiling the mood at all! I hope its a sign that 2009 will be a great year.
Yesterday at work our store manager announced that nobody in the entire Shopko company will receive a raise for 2009. and dental premiums went up and we lost 2 personal days. it's a sign of the times. Why don't they just close stores? They just opened like 4 stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin in the last year or so. do we really need to open new stores when we have ghetto old stores that suck like La Crosse North or this ghetto store we went to in Omaha.
I should be more upset i suppose but i am capped at my current pay grade. Shit i am a regular boring old home entertainment teammate and i make $10.10. I made maybe 20 cents more as the apparel supervisor. no worries. I get hours, i sell the stupid EPPs (extended protection Plans), and customers love me. It just makes you think. I am really thankful i have my job that pays enough even if it can be annoying and boring sometimes.
Tage is having a party tonight for New years. I think he is gonna give up on the party thing cuz he is having the same issue i had. People just stop showing up and they aren't as excited. even though the parties are always a ton of fun.
Moe, one of the service desk ladies, is planning a wine tasting gathering at this place called UnWine'd that's like a 3 blocks from my house. I am excited about that.
I am also VERY excited about a road trip Jamie, Kohl, Jamie's roommates and I are going on to Florence, Wisconsin. It's all the other way at the very east of the state and it's like right on the border of Michigan Upper Peninsula just a stones throw from Iron Mountain, MI. We will be staying at Jamie's parents house and we get to go to a real Wisconsin fish fry and we are going to go out and shoot guns and Jamie's mom is going to have a party so that should be super fun! I have never shot a real gun and i have never been to Michigan and i have never been that far East or North in Wisconsin! yayay! it's a 5 hour drive and it's way out in the middle of nowhere! we get to go through a town called Spread Eagle. endless LOL!
