Awkwardness

June 5th, 2011 . by Cary

I have been … asked … to not talk about a certain person on my blog. However, in order to get the word out, once in a while I do have to talk about her, and I refer to her as TMBWitW. That has not always resulted in positive reviews, so I have made attempts to not talk about her at all. I love her more than anything, and she is the center of my life, so that’s like talking about everything BUT the monkey juggling on your head at the party.

Memorial Day, she was saying that her wrist hurt, so we iced it. Tuesday morning when she woke up it was worse, and by the end of the day she was in Urgent Care getting an X-ray, shot, and meds prescribed. (i am not going to try to spell the issues here. laymen’s terms are trigger finger and tennis elbow. please leave any jokes about target practice, tennis courts, firearms training, etc. in the comments section below.)

When she finally got home Tuesday evening, it was late, and everyone just went to bed. Wednesday she stayed home, since the meds were affecting her in a way that made her feel it was not safe to drive. Thursday she went to work, but came home early. Friday she made it through the whole day of work. Saturday evening, after I got home, she asked why I hadn’t mentioned her in the Long Week entry.

Please keep her in your prayers, specifically for healing of her right arm.

Chat ya later…

Long Week

June 4th, 2011 . by Cary

This has felt like a very long short week. Four days of work, but it just feels like longer. Today marks the fifth day, third without the other manager who is on vacation, but it is a Saturday – which is always fun in the toy store. No freight, great customers, and if it’s slow and the store is recovered, we try out the games and toys ourselves – in the name of product research for better selling, of course!

This is ramping up towards the industry conference that the boss lady is taking me to – it’s in Anaheim, running from the 18th to the 23rd – and this is the big one. This is when the Christmas season toys are discussed, and the catalog for The Good Toy Group is finalized. New toys, new games, meeting people you only talk to on the phone – this should be fun and educational. Oh, and darn it, I have to play the new games and with the new toys while I”m there …

Chat ya later…
