THE PAST MONTH OR SO I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING ON MY BLOG SINCE IT HAS BEEN HECTIC. MUCH HAS GONE ON THIS PAST MONTH SO I WILL TRY TO BRING ALL OF YOU UP TO DATE ON WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE THE PAST MONTH.
WORK UPDATE:
THE END OF JULY I HAD A SELL THROUGH INVENTORY AND A NEW RELEASE INVENTORY. THAT IS ALWAYS FUN AND TIRING. LOL……WELL, I AM LOOSING TWO SHIFT LEADERS. ONE IS LEAVING NEXT WEEK AND THE OTHER IS STILL STAYING BUT WORKING ONLY A DAY A WEEK. SO MY SCHEDULE REMAINS UNPREDICTABLE BUT USUALLY I WORK EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THAT HAS NOT CHANGED BUT NOW I AM ROTATING ON SUNDAYS UNTIL I GET HELP FROM ANOTHER STORE. I HAVE A SHIFT LEADER FROM A NEARBY STORE THAT IS INTERESTED IN PICKING UP HOURS SO THAT WILL HELP. BUSINESS HAS SLOWED DOWN SINCE THE NICE HOT WEATHER HAS HIT US HARD………LOL…………NICE WEATHER DOES NOT HELP MY STORE…….. NEED RAIN AND STORMS BECAUSE THAT INCREASES BUSINESS. UNFORTUNATELY, HOLLYWOOD CORPORATE PUT A BUSINESS PLAN FOR MY STORE THAT WAS TOO MUCH AND UNATTAINABLE. THEY RECENTLY HAVE ADJUSTED THE PLAN TO BE MORE ATTAINABLE SO I AM HOPING WE WILL ACHIEVE THE FINANCIAL GOALS THAT ARE SET. WELL SCHOOL IS COMING AND SEVERAL OF MY STAFF WILL BE ATTENDING COLLEGE WHILE WORKING SO THERE WILL BE SOME LIMITATIONS ON SOME OF THE SCHEDULING. I WILL BE DOING SOME HIRING SO IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO JOURNEY TO PEMBROKE AND SELL MOVIES AND GAMES LET ME KNOW………LOL……IT IS A FUN JOB AND IT IS COOL HELPING CUSTOMERS WITH MOVIES AND GAMES……….THE PAST MONTH OUR STORE HAS SPREAD ITS FILM LIBRARY RENTALS FOR THE FIFTH TIME (LOL). THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES WITH OUR SELL THROUGH MOVIES BEING MOVED AND OUR PV TABLES BEING MOVED. OUR DM LIKES TO KEEP US WORKING………LOL…….HE IS A GREAT GUY!………WE HAVE CLEANED, DUSTED, SPREAD OUT OUR BLU-RAY SECTION AND DONE TWO INVENTORIES………LOL…………NOW OUR AC IS NOT WORKING SO IT HAS BEEN HOT IN THE STORE THE PAST WEEK. NEED A NEW AC UNIT SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS………ANYWAY, TAKING A DAY OFF TO GET SOME REST BECAUSE I REALLY NEED IT. THE HOURS I PUT IN PLUS THE TRAVEL TIME REALLY GETS TO ME SOMETIMES. THE LATE NIGHTS DURING THE WEEKEND REALLY MESS UP MY SLEEPING HABITS……..
NEWS AND SPORTS UPDATE:
WELL IT SEEMS MY LAST JOURNAL ENTRY THE REDSOX WERE IN FIRST PLACE. HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN……LOL…..NOW THE SOX ARE 6 GAMES BACK BUT LEAD THE WILD-CARD PLAYOFF SPOT BY TWO GAMES……AWESOME THAT VICTOR MARTINEZ, CASEY KOTCHMAN AND ALEX GONZALES ARE NOW REDSOX AND ARE HELPING THE TEAM WIN. BILLY WAGNER A REDSOX???? AWESOME!!! IF HE STAYS HEALTHY WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE HE WILL MAKE…THE BULLPEN HAS BEEN MOSTLY SOLID BUT SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT STARTING PITCHING HAVE ME CONCERNED. BECKETT’S RECENT STRUGGLE HAS ME NERVOUS BUT IT WAS GREAT TO SEE WAKEFIELD BACK AND PITCH WELL……OVERALL, THE SOX NEED NOT TO WORRY ABOUT WILD-CARD YET BECAUSE THEY JUST NEED TO MAKE IT FIRST……RAYS AND RANGERS WILL NOT GO AWAY……..YANKEES, WHAT CAN I SAY BUT THEY SUCK!!!! LOL……..THE EVIL EMPIRE SPENT OVER $200 MILLION IN PAYROLL AND IT IS NOW PAYING OFF……..I AM SEEING SOX VIS YANKEES IN PLAYOFFS………….HMNN……..I DID PREDICT SOX VIS RAYS…….OH WELL AS LONG AS SOX GET IN THEY HAVE A CHANCE…..
FOOTBALL IS HERE!!! STEELERS ARE BACK TO DEFEND THIER CHAMPIONSHIP!!! SCHEDULE LOOKS GOOD FOR THEM BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ROETHLISBERGER. HIS ANKLE AND THE WHOLE ENTIRE LAW SUIT COULD HAVE SOME IMPACT ON THE SEASON BUT I KNOW BEN IS A FIGHTER AND WILL PLAY HURT. HE IS THE LEADER ON THIS TEAM AND THE STEELERS HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO WIN NUMBER SEVEN THIS YEAR. WITH THAT IN MIND, I WILL SAY THE RETURN OF TOM BRADY FOR THE PATRIOTS WILL BE HUGE!!! HE I BELIEVE WILL GET COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR AND THE PATRIOTS AND STEELERS I BELIEVE WILL BATTLE FOR THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP IN PITTSBURGH IN JANUARY. THE ONLY QUESTION FOR THE PATRIOTS IS THEIR DEFENSE. THE OFFENSE WILL ROLL BUT WILL THE DEFENSE BE GREAT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS AND POSSIBLY THE SUPERBOWL??? I WILL BE DOING MY NFL PREVIEW AND IF YOU REVIEW MY PREVIEW FROM 08 YOU WILL SEE I PREDICTED THE STEELERS IN THE SUPERBOWL. I WAS RIGHT!!! LOL………….ANYWAY, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NFL SEASON………
MICHAEL VICK WITH THE EAGLES MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. I HATE WHAT HE DID BUT HE DID THE TIME AND WATCH HIM THIS YEAR. MCNAB HAS INJURY ISSUES EVERY YEAR SO I PREDICT NOW THAT VICK WILL SEE ACTION THIS SEASON WITH THE EAGLES……
BRETT FAVRE- I AM SICK OF HEARING IF HE OR WON’T HE PLAY. HE IS DONE!!!! IT IS TIME TO RETIRE AND GET A BROADCAST JOB WITH FOX……….I MEAN IS ANYONE ELSE SICK OF FAVRE??? THE VIKINGS WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE WITH FAVRE AS QB!!!!! HE SHOULD BE A VETRAN BACKUP OR JUST PLAIN RETIRE………BRETT, DO US ALL A FAVOR AND RETIRE NOW WHILE YOU ARE REASONABLY HEALTHY. I MEAN THE VIKING LOCKER ROOM IS ALREADY DIVIDED AND THIS IS STILL PRESEASON………..LOL……….
NEWS UPDATE:
SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 77 YESTERDAY SO MY PRAYERS AND SUPPORT GO THE FAMILY TODAY. I WAS NOT A SUPPORTER OF THE SENATOR BUT I WILL ADMIT HE DID A LOT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND DID MANY CHARITABLE THINGS. HIS LIFE MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON AMERICAN POLITICS AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKED HIM OR NOT ONE THING WE MUST ALL AGREE IS THAT HE MADE A DIFFERENCE. GOD BLESS THE FAMILY THIS DAY!!!
PERSONAL UPDATE:
WE FINALLY MOVED TO OUR NEW APARTMENT AT THE END OF JULY. IT IS NICE TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT NEAR THE PRO GOLF COURSE IN NORTON. WE ARE CLOSE TO THE COMCAST CENTER SO WE CAN HEAR SOME CONCERTS…….LOL……NOT REALLY IT IS QUIET TO BE HONEST. I WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK THOSE WHO HELPED US MOVE LAST MONTH!!! JOHN, DEE, ANTHONY, SPENCER, BRYANT, PATTI, BJ, ROBBY, MCKENZIE, MOM, DAD, AND MY BROTHER JOE…….SOME OF YOU ALSO HELPED PAM WITH BOXES AND I ALSO THANK YOU AS WELL. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THOSE I MENTIONED AND THOSE I DID NOT MENTION IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. THANKS GUYS FOR GIVING YOUR TIME TO HELP US MOVE!!! PAM AND I APPRECIATED IT VERY MUCH!! WE STILL HAVE MANY BOXES STILL LEFT THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE OUR OWN PLACE AGAIN. IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE WE HAVE OUR LIFE BACK ONCE AGAIN. WE HAVE SOME FURNITURE TO GET AND SOME CLEANING TO DO BUT WE WILL HAVE SOME OF YOU OVER…….MAYBE A PARTY IN THE NEAR FUTURE SO TUNE IN……….LOL
