I am. It’s true.

I only write when I have time (note the large number of posts here and comments on other blogs during my unemployed time) and I only write when I can think of something that I think will entertain the masses. I’m pretty sure this one will miss both marks, but I didn’t want that title to go to waste – it popped into my head and there it sits…

Work has been moving along nicely – I am learning so much from the retail side of the counter that I kind of had a clue about but was not fully aware of. (did that make sense?) My boss (safe and boring flights, boss!) is headed for the annual toy convention, this year it’s on the east coast and she left the store in the hands of – well, the office manager and the new guy! I think she has confidence in her team. Sure hope we have blockbuster days so she will feel comfortable when she isn’t here.

We have a pretty good team of part-timers there at the store. Most every one of them is knowledgeable, hard working, and eager to make sure the job gets done. Part of my job is to advance their training so I can do more supervisory stuff instead of being in the trenches all the time. (speaking of which, if anyone knows of a software package that is free and will allow one to build planograms, please let me know)

TMBWitW is living through a “surprise” audit at work. Accountants just loooove surprises. MEG is spending her days at her aunt’s apartment – they have a pool! – and really misses the almost constant time she used to spend with daddy. I miss it too, but the full-time job, transitioning to mommy staying at home eventually will be better for MEG in the long run.

The screen door project is kinda stalled right now, but the plan is to get them finished tomorrow morning. Then I can concentrate on the milling project, which should be the last big job. In between I’ve got a small framework to build out of paint grade, which I happen to have hanging around the shop, and I still have a set of grips to replicate in walnut (haven’t forgotten you, bro!).

With a trip to the warehouse this morning, I guess I better get off here and get going! Ya’ll have a safe weekend, if I don’t get a chance to chat before that.

Chat ya later…
