I Am A Bad Son/Happy Birthday Mom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

:( Sorry! I hope you had a good Birthday! I can't believe I missed it by that much and that it's been happening way too much lately-to everyone. I love you Mom! No matter how late I am, I think about you and Dad and everyone everyday.



In other news while I'm here...

I'm working day seven in a row right now and tomorrow will make it day eight in a row. Horrible, but what else do you expect when you work where I do? It's horrible, just like my memory. So, I have been in quite the routine of working, coming home and going to bed to just do it all over again. So yeah, I work eight days in a row and five of those were closing while throwing in some Bethel basketball preparation and a game and it's a busy week and a half.

Also going on in that stretch, Herbs had some more layoffs. Nothing exciting going on at our store. We actually added a manager and another assistant manager but retail is still in a horrible situation and so is the economy so it's still that much harder to get another job.

So, with all of those changes I change again too. I go from Men's to Accessories and now I work in the Home Department, learning anything and everything about dishes, china, crystal, flatware, cookware, sheets, towels, thread count, GPS systems, luggage, candles, frames, barware and more. It's quite the product knowledge center. However, it has not been my favorite thing going on so far. It's been a week already I guess but I don't enjoy it very much. It is really getting tough working there and trying to be there full time and try and stay happy and enjoy work, do Bethel basketball and try and create something enjoyable to listen to, while trying to run and wishing I could run and exercise more, to the mundane every day activities of eating, showering, cleaning up our apartment and more it's gotten quite tiring and tiresome going to work. Not to mention all the other managers are on their comp week from working six days a week over Christmas, leaving all of their closings and weekends of working to me. It just is not enjoyable working there much anymore.

So, I was just watching UConn play Villanova and have a quick panic that Mom's birthday passed. Boy, did it pass. I'm sorry Mom. I love you! :) Happy Birthday!
