I'm enjoying a much needed day off today. We didn't do much. We took a short trip to Holly Springs where we took care of some business. During the trip I the cold that has been after me for several days decided to make its debut. I felt like crap and we had to go to Walmart to get some medicine. After getting home I slept most of the day. Hence, thats why I'm up so late.

Anyway, theres not much to write about this week. Work is great. We're supposed to be getting a floor for the bunker gaming area next week. Once that place is open we'll have more customers than we know what to do with.

I've been reflecting lately on all the places we've lived and about all the trouble we've had because of the size of our family. So far I must say this place is where we have had the least amount of flak from people around us. Its like large families are a norm here. Its kind of nice. Anyway, all the places and our experiences with them can be summed up in a line from a Willie Nelson Song:

"All the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream"

Oh, I decided that I am still mourning the loss of Johnny Cash. I now understand the fanatical fans of Elvis who haunt his grave to this very day. I guess people need an icon or a role model that they can look up to and believe represents them. I may take a trip sometime soon to Johnny Cash's grave to pay homage.

Well, the reckoning that I needed so much came today. James is a great guy and he set everything straight. Not many bosses would tolerate my anger towards everything that happened. But, I have to hand it to him. He is a great guy. I forsee a long and fruitful working relationship. Games Workshop is the best place to work.

We are a few days away from getting two cats. We adopted a pair from the Humane Society. They are good kitties ones an orange tabby and the other is a black cat. They will make good additions to the household and will make this place feel like a home. Plus, if I'm really lucky one of them will get that mouse that's been haunting the kitchen at night.

Today I had the weirdest thing happen to me at work. This gorgeous woman came in and wanted to know about our product. It was odd really because she was very nicely dressed and dolled up. Well, I soon found out she was a salesman so I sent her next door to the factory. But, then she came back and asked me if I'd give her a personal tour of the store. Later, during the conversation she made it real clear to me that she was not married. Overall, she just hung around the store for a long time and made me real nervous. It was almost like she was a... gamer groupie or something. She finally left but said she'd be back in a couple days for an intro-game. Hope the wife doesn't find out because she'll be standing guard at my store with a sword.
