Let's say, hypothetically, your employer had a sales contest. And, hypothetically, your store won (we're number 3618; we came in 16th, the top 100 win). And you decided to take a (relatively) free cruise...

Work was pretty slow when I got there at 5 today. After about a half hour, I walked over to the DVD player aisle (which I usually avoid like the plague, but I was bored), and who do I see?

I went on the first of my two vacations this past week. Kelly and I went to Myrtle Beach. She did a good job of summarizing the trip, so you can just read hers. I did have a little bit to share.

While we were in Myrtle Beach, I didn't buy any souvenirs, save one. I did buy a new watch and some luggage while we were outlet shopping, and some ( Read more... )

I had to check to see when the last time I posted was. Almost two months ago. I'm such a slacker. I have been kinda busy, with work and stuff, but I should still find more time for this.

This morning at around 9 AM, we got a phone call. I didn't answer it because I didn't recognize the number on caller ID, so they left a message.

Apparently "it is not too late to vote for John Kerry." News to me. Is he running for hall monitor or some other thing?

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. I had a pretty good one I guess. I have a tip for you that probably won't help anyone till next year: when carving a turkey, cut off each entire breast in one big piece, then carve that by itself, going against the grain (i.e., if it were still on the turkey, you'd be cutting up and down).
