Thank heavens, the week is 80% over. I know that this is bringing me closer to a weekend that will last about 90 seconds, but at least I won’t be at work! Yesterday’s training went well. It was a small group of only two managers in training and they seemed to get into it and…

Had a meeting with my new (?) boss and new supervisor. Never actually had a conversation with the boss before, so that’s different. My supervisor is someone I’ve worked with since I joined the company and previous to this we were basically on the same level. I’m not concerned that I’ll have trouble respecting her…

Had a chat with the boss today… sloooowly (throughout the quarter) I’m going to re-learn payroll and become a payroll clerk. The title “Clerk” is a bummer after 4 or so years mostly being “associate” or “assistant” but, whatever works. Heard about the actual big bummer as well but I have asked my boss to…

According to my # of visitors gauge (scroll down to the bottom), I think I’m almost at 100 views. And I’m pretty sure they’re not all me. Just most! Ha!

So I bought the lights at Target yesterday. They were advertised as orange/purple dual filament lights. No problemo. Surely they look orange when they’re out of the box and the purple is just to give them a …. spooky (?) glow. Nah. Purple. Unless you’re 100 feet from the house, they look totally purple. Oh,…

and, Gene says hi…. He’s not just being a jackass, although it helps…he’s doing a spot on imitation of Johnny Cash. (I’ll hunt for that picture later…) 

And here’s Scooby. I don’t know why he always looks so freaking pained. He’s really a very very spoiled beagle. For instance, Gene brought him a porterhouse bone from dinner last night. 

The dogs are groomed! Here is Betty, looking sharp in her post-grooming ascot. I promise I’ll take them off the dogs soon.
