Weekend fun

Just got out of work. Relizing how much I hate that place, yet I feel I need to stay there. I found out just before I left ( yet again) that the new schedule so I can get every other weekend off is not good enough. It only has two of the three support members on it, the two on grocery. The store manager decided he wanted all three. If I had not asked (also, yet again) before I left I would have gone in after two days off, thinking I would get this up coming weekend off. Not now. I love how they fuck things up and don't tell anyone. So I get screwed for awhile longer on the weekend thing. I also had an associate come to me last night when a couple customers proprositioned her. We kicked them out. Funny, the associate had to walk by the assistant to get to me. I also had another associate crying last night, I think in pain. I offered to go have an "open door" with them if they needed a break, but they wanted to keep going at the time. But I did get a thank you and a smile. I feel I need to stay there for the associates. They don't trust other members of management like they do me. They know I take care of them. How could I leave them to people they don't like or trust?
Any how, we have plans to go to the ocean today!! I love the water and warm sand. We will bbq there too. I need to get a Superman towel at WalMart before we go if we have the cash. Later tonight or tommrrow Jen and I are going to the movies to see X3. I heard tonight that it was a great movie, and there is a long trailer for the Superman movie too. I can't wait. I love spending time with family and friends on my days off.
I also have to get together with a long time friend tonight to cheer them up. Just hope I can help her out and give her the advice she needs. Long story, too long to post here. But I do look forward to spending some time with her tonight too.

Ride Home

"Someday"
How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
Nothing's wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when(You're the only one who knows that)

Lyrics by Nickelback
The time is now. I know because it is all right for me now. Friends and family make the pain of the past heal. The family I have now, I know I will never hurt like that again. Thank you so much to all my family and friends. I could never tell you how much you all mean to me.

Catch up

I know that it has been a while since I posted, so lets see how fast we can catch up on things.
I finally got someone at work to listen and agree (surprise surprise) that it is only fair to get every other weekend off between the two supports. I also found out from a co manager that after they do the remodel, which is soon, that my postion may very likely become obsolete. There is no "offical" position called support. So let's hope that the next training class does not get cancelled this time and I make it in. Three months away if I can stay that long. It is also been mentioned that for the remodel they will be closing the store on overnights. YAY! It will be a huge moral boost for alot of us there.
As mentioned in other blogs, Kat's bunny Cloe died. It was very sad and a hard time for me as well. I may have been bitten by her twice in the two years I knew her, but I must admit I was more than likely asking for it by invading her space. I hold no grudge against her for it, and wish her the best of greens and a long happy life in the place she is now.
Also, her only remaining baby (Goober or Slimy) past away a few days later. He was well loved and cared for in his short life here. Although we tried not to get too attached, there was still pain in his leaving. He will be with his mom now and grow up to be very happy with her.
Lastly (I think) was my sister's (by default through Kat) wedding. It was a cloudy day, it did rain during part of it, but cleared after so we could go out on the deck. I took it all as good signs for them, since it did the same for mine and Kat's wedding. We all took bets on the length it will last, and I promise to split it with sis if it goes past two years. Just kidding Vee. There is no bet. I wish them both the best of years to come and many days filled with laughter and love. Thank you for inviting us to meet your family and to share the day (and pool at the hotel) with you.
I do think that catchs up on the most important things. Oh, one last one. Many thanks and hugs to the one who lovingly took care of our pets and talked to my bird. It is good to know that you, and a couple others as well, are willing to treat our babies like we would when we go away. Love you very much.

Just for fun

For Rent

That is what is on the sign in the window. For Rent. We had a great day at the ocean and in Portland. Kat, Jen, and I went to the Portland headlight to eat lunch. Kat forgot her kite, but we got to feed seagulls and chickadees. Got a picture of Jen hugging the lighthouse. We never noticed it before, but you can see 6 lighthouses at that point.
Then we went to an island that my old boss told Kat about. She has more pics in her blog. Anyway, people build little fairie and pixies houses. They are really cool, they have a little villiage of them. I built mine next to a bench overlooking the ocean. It is far enough away from the village that it is quiet, yet close enough they can visit. Plus the view! I should make good rent money there. Not sure what kind of currency the fairies have though.....
We went shopping downtown South Portland for Jen, got her some new clothes. Then to Newberry Comics and shopped. I got pins and catatus flavored bubble gum cigs. We also got a new fish. We called him Mastah. He is yellow with black around his eyes. We need two more betta fish now to have the rainbow again.
Other than the sunburn I got today, which isn't really that bad, that is all that happened. It was a fun and exhausting day. Kat figured we walked around 4 miles today. Jen ordered us pizza when we got home, I don't think anyone had energy to cook. I know I fell asleep on the couch for awhile. I woke myself up snoring once or twice.

Fishy Fishy Fishy

So work still sucks. Although the manager, who lied and said it was my fault something did not get done when she had the paper work, did give me the days off for my sisters wedding. So yes V, I will be there for you. I really can't stand working for the people I do right now. I love the associates, the postition I am in, and what I do. It is the company and the others who are higher up that suck.
We got a new fish tank today. Get to move Aries in with Zeus in the 75 gallon. Hercules goes in with Xena, Gabrille and Jaguar. Terrian, my dragon, gets the 45!! And maybe the girls can get the 30 or we might get another reptile.
Sorry for the spelling, I have had so little sleep today. Part my fault, I did volunteer to get up and go for the trip today. But I get so little time with my wife, I really wanted to spend time talking today. I got to sit in the back, again my volunteering, where I forget I cannot hear the front conversations. So most of the trip home when it seemed that a response was to come from me, I said whatever I was thinking. Now, it doesn't sound funny, but when your thinking of flannel plaid skirts on squirrels (sleep deprevation) it gets interesting. Or that pine trees smell good. Now I still don't know what the questions were that were asked, or the conversation topics for most of looks I was getting. But the laughter that filled the truck when I answered "I like fuzzy bunnies." assured me that it was not what was expected. So yeah, fun trip.
