[...] Radio Friendly Unit Shifter 22 09 2007 Because of the unusual and merciless badgering/harassment of my good friend/enemy canned tuma (in spring water), Chicken of the Sea(cret Place), I will put this post up, even though I’m not into it right now. Being a criminal mastermind has its drawbacks. There’s zoning issues and lawyers, henchman that are always getting into trouble, dangerous guard-gribbles to contend with, and of course, most folks know my identity. However, I must rant about what my next week at my day-job looks like. I am transitioning to a new store. The exiting manager of that store will be leaving this week. I will not be taking over for 2 weeks, when a new entering manager, who doesn’t live here yet, will be taking over my store. In the meantime, I’m training 2 new people, as well as 2 new supervisors, ensuring that my current ASM is ready for a store by the end of November (turning 8 months of training into 8 WEEKS of training), teaching classes, changing my entire cash handling system, and getting ready for a new promotion. Confused yet? I am. I’ve practically forgotten the joy of being on vacation, but I will definitely record my thoughts in the near future. That’s the crazy thing about work, you know? You can get comfortable with everything going at a nice little click, and then suddenly, BAM. Your day becomes, well, like this.. P.S. If you want to hear a little bit about my New Mexico trip to hold you over, you can check out my post on the Tuma blog HERE. [...]

Enough bickering already! How about a new post instead?

Is my song finished yet?

I’d like to (as Refe’s wife) point out some hypocrisy on the part of my husband’s last comment.

Using the edit button to fix your mistakes won’t fool me… or anyone else.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, dear wife. I clearly spelled the man’s name correctly. Perhaps you should reexamine my above comment. BREWster. You really need keep trying to finally get Starbucks to fire you so that you can finally have health and vision insurance again (but that’s a whole ‘nuther post). You’re prescription is obviously way out of date.

Hold on…”Brooster?” I totally thought it was “Brewster Fly.” Oh wait, it is. Ben just told me so.

I was worried for a second there. “Brooster” is too much like “rooster,” and therefore not cool enough to be on our blog.

XD Remind me not to hike the Sandia when I come visit you, Refe. You’d shoot me before the hike was done.

Thank you for gracing our humble blog with your post, Mr. Page. Interesting, eloquent, nefarious – I only have one complaint. You didn’t mention Brewster Fly! Perhaps that’s all for the best, Brewster really deserves his own post, and since I was the one he sternly reprimanded, perhaps I should be the one to recount him after all. Consider this your warning, readers – Brewster Fly is coming.

My favorite part of that day: Enjoying our sandwiches and sense of accomplishment at the top of the mountain.

My least favorite: seeing Michael (13) jumping and skipping AFTER this grown-man killing hike.

Well done, my friend.

Sometimes it’s the grueling things that make the best stories.
