Day one went fine...as did day 2. The biggest thing is akmost a "culture shock" where I was pretty much in on everything to being the outsider, not involved with anything. Feels kind of strange, but it'll take time. Definitely a higher-end clientel there too. Will like it better when I feel comfortable there.



Hope you feel better soon..

I think our beer guy said we had it. We still have some low end stuff but there are a lot of big wine sales etc. I had a champagne sale today for over 2K. Trying to keep my nose out of the beer section.

Glad it's going well. Sometimes it's good to not be making decisions and just working for a while.:thumbsup2 I can't even imagine spending $2K on champagne.:eek: That's a week in a mod at the World! I suppose if I had the money to spend $2K on a bottle, I would be staying at a deluxe with a tour guide anyway.:confused3

Evening guys. The sleet has started here in Indy :(

Stay safe. We are expected to get about 8 inches or so over Saturday night from that storm.
 
Evening guys. Sorry for being mia around here the last day or so, but the thread name really sucks. Having a tough time bringing myself over here.

I could not agree more :thumbsup2 I think the thread master had something to do with it!!:rolleyes1

How do we fix that? :confused3

If only we were going to be together in a month or so, outnumbering the thread master, with some nefarious plan to end the reign of the penguins...


If only...;)

yea I wonder.:rolleyes1I think hurting the penguins will cause an uprising. But the thread master now thats a different story:rolleyes1

We may need to send a Canadian Dad with a flute down to MD and he can pied piper them back to Canada where they belong.:rotfl2::rotfl2:
 
Back in the sunny south. Actually, I think it will be sunny because it is dark outside ride now. House is still here along with most of the appliances. First thing I did was to change in shorts and a T-shirt. I FEEL GOOD.

It's cold, gray and wet here in Western PA.
I hope you get sun burn.
 

Nonesense, we got to cheer for somebody, don't we? Just got to to keep the rum ready for you.

Sounds good. :thumbsup2

Hope everyone gets well soon. We need you to run for the team. Looks like I have the drinking section well recruited. You get you another runner.

Might be difficult to find anyone who can keep up with me. :rolleyes1

I came to the conclusion last night that I'm too old to keep playing basketball with guys who just graduated from high school. But in all honesty, I don't see that stopping me from trying... :rotfl2::rotfl::lmao:

Never too old. You just have to adjust your game a little.

Do Penguins taste like Cheeseburgers? I may become a penguin fan...



It might be grilled Penguin.

Hmmm... they might taste like chicken.

Did not know that one.
Anyone got a picture of that one?

Not my picture and I'm sure someone's beat me to it, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Leaving this Sunday on the Carnival Pride. 7 nights out of Baltimore with stops in Port Canaveral, Nassau, and Freeport.

Have a great trip!!

Raise the Jolly Roger!
And I've recently begun exercising...mostly motivated by the fact that I want to be able to get to the Fast Passes for TSM before the other patrons..

Another strike against the FastPass+... it just took away someone's reason to exercise.
 
I had a really sad conversation with a co-worker yesterday. He is heading out for Florida with his family today and was considering heading to a theme park for a day or two. He told me he was inclined to skip Epcot, because after all,

"They don't have any rides there, right?"

:sad2::headache:

Same here. I just wish Wells Fargo would let me put the mortgage on there.

Could you request checks from Chase for the Disney Visa?? Some of my CCs used to send me checks to use for transfers, so I assumed I could have also used them to pay bills that wouldn't take the card directly. And if the check had a routing number on it along with an account number... then maybe it could be used online?? maybe???
 

Everybody likes the mailman? UPS delivery guys? or maybe just the neighbor??

You stay safe as well David!!

We have a chance of the wintry mix, but Im hoping nothing comes of it. People around here cannot drive on a good day, let alone when you add in bad weather.:confused3

I was just there!!! If only I'd brought my flute... :rotfl2:

My DD loved the penguins though... just sayin'... :rolleyes1

Thanks for the analogy of the day.

I like the mobilizing penguins. I figure after they attack, I'll have to start freezing penguin meat and figure out how to cook it.

You can always spend 2K in lobsters for me. :lmao:

Glad you made it home safely.

I hope you get sun burn.

Yes, the poor life of CJ. He usually makes it worse by complaining about pulling a muscle putting on sunscreen or hurting is eye staring at the girls in bikinis. That's why I want to park my camper on his front yard.

Might be difficult to find anyone who can keep up with me. :rolleyes1

We'll think about you running out there. That is sure to help.

Don't you get hit with a 3% transfer fee?
