Has it really been that long??

Wow. I knew I hadnt blogged in a loooooong time, but that is ridiculous.

What has been going on? Hmm.....well, my wife left her job to accept a position at a new store. This change had been coming a long time, and it was definitely time for her to move on. Anyone who reads her blog knows some of the backstory, but this is my take.

Petsmart sucks ass. There, I said it. Any company that can have an employee working for them as long as my wife, and never give her the recognition that she more than deserved doesnt know what they are doing. I mean, she practically ran the damn store for the past 5 years. She was promised this and that here and there, but alas nothing. So, when a another company came a calling, she left. And when she gets in her store, and starts hiring people, Petsmart in Salisbury is in for a shock. Hope they have employees on standby, cause they are going to need them.

Anyway, enough about that terrible chapter. Lets move on to other news. My store is in disarray. Everyone wants to leave. Everyone IS leaving. One supervisor is on the way to Barnes & Noble in the next few weeks, and the other one is going sometime in August. Im staying, not necessarily because I completely want to, but becasue I cant really leave. I have been loyal for the most part to my store and my manager, and I guess because of this, opportunities have passed me by...for now. Hopefully, I will get my chance to go to "the big leagues" at Barnes & Noble at some point. If I can last that long without pulling the rest of my hair out. Things should start to get interesting really soon.

Still looking for land to build a house. Land in this area where we live is HORRIBLE. It should not cost $75,000 for a 1/3 of an acre. Give me a break. Oh well. I guess we just keep looking.

Seems a few friends of mine have been traveling as of late. First, they zoomed off to London for a nice vacation. Then, one of them traveled to Paris with a friend of hers. Zip, zoom, off they go. Glad all went well on both the trips. Still waiting for my videos Atroxi...lol.

So, it's just me and the kiddies till Saturday again. My wife is off training for her new job, and she left today at 2:00. Nothing like driving toward Washington DC on Memorial Day, when everyone is going BACK home from the beaches. Traffic was pretty bad, but she had to go. She made it safe and sound, after a brief directional mixup. Cant wait till she gets back. I am really proud of her and hope things go better at her new store than at the old one. From the looks so far, things will be better.

Oh well, I guess I'll leave off there. I have more to post, but I'll save some for later.
