I know... there are a lot of really good teams, but not really 1 or 2 that are just great. Should be a fun tournament.
Taking tomorrow off. Golf early and brats and basketball the rest of the day for our annual guys weekend.
Good Morning everyone....
We are currently sitting at DW's work while she takes care of a few important matters before we head off to the Science Center for the kids to blow off some steamThis is the only part of the day the girls know about. After that it's off to the Spagetti Factory for dinner, then the big surprise for the girls. They have no idea DW won tickets to the Disney on Ice show a couple of months ago, so this should be fun.
Wonder if the thread will still be around when we get home tonight..
So yesterday I go into work and have to fix ANOTHER problem the manager and/or assistant made in regards to orders placed. Last week, they placed an order for the wrong week, and if things got messed up too much, they would cancel the load, which is a BAD thing. Monday morning I worked with logistics and got it all straightened up, no probs. I go in on Wednesday and find out the assistant placed an order for Friday which is not a delivery day, so another problem that I had to fix yesterday. Fortunately it was an easy fix, but word got round to one of the district managers who came around to see what the problems were.
It was funny trying to see a couple of the clueless people all hover around trying to act like it was all easy to do/fix when they were not even involved. I had come off of lunch and went into the office where they were having the little meeting (which they tried to keep me unaware of). When Eric the boss saw me, he waved me over, confirmed what I had fixed and gave me the thumbs up, told me to keep them in line.
He pulled me aside soon afterwards, and commented that the other DM said it was too bad I wasn't around those mornings, I'd have had it adressed sooner, if not caught it outright as it happened, and made me feel like a million bucks, commenting "trust me, we know what you do around here, it's noted" which is the first real compliment from the higher-ups I've recieved. Really made my day, and a huge confidence boost, which can only lead to better things.
Is it me or does it seem like all the Canadians are doing anything but watching BB today?

The DW has most of her things packed and most of the DD's. I won't take long to pack mine.
Still have to make our T-shirts up! We printed our iron-on's this past weekend. Just need to find the time when my DD's aren't around to get them ironed on!

I love coming to work on tournament days. We have pools and everything here in the office, and there's a 42" HD TV hanging on the wall just over my left shoulder. I have to turn my chair away from my desk to watch, but it's a good day at work. People coming in to BS and watch basketball on TV. Basically a paid day of slacking.
I will say Goodmorning for those who are going to have a good one but for me it is a 50/50 day on the happy side wife is working and i get the computer and house to myself again all morningbut on the flip side my vacation has come to an end and i have to go to work tonight

... we bought that many souvenirs!?!?! Now, I have to pay off that bill so I can get ready for my January '13 trip with my DS and DDil and 3 grandsons! Isaac (5) 
Aiden (3) 
and Eli (1) 
This will be my first trip with my grandsons and my first trip with my son in over a decade. Wish I didn't have to wait until July/August to book the trip!
(Yes, those places still exist!) So, just in case this is my last post ... I'll see y'all (I can say that, I live in Alabama) in the next thread!
