Life disrupted (tales of a home remodel)....


So Rich and I have been in the midst of a home remodel for the last couple of weeks (mostly of our bedroom). We moved all our furniture into the garage, and have been tipping our mattress up out of the way in order to both paint, and also put in wood floors. Its been an adventure, one that the both of us are ready to be done with.... you never realize how nice it is to have bedroom furniture until you still have it, but are unable to use it. But alas, it’s been a fun adventure for the both of us, and thank god for my father letting us borrow his wood floor installing staple gun! I have no idea where we would be without it!

So Work at Shi has been a challenge as of late... Bruce continued to screw up multiple times, and will be leaving us shortly, but will I be co-manager? False! In waiting and waiting we ended up having a corporate visit, and the regional manager decided that I am not "management material"... I then proceeded to do 400% of my daily goal, but I’m not "management material". But screw them, I'll just keep doing my job, and then when something better comes along, I’ll go for that.

I've also been attending the Utah School Of Phlebotomy.... I didn't have enough dollars to stay at SLCC, which is a bit pathetic, but next semester! But I’m getting better at poking people.... still not very good at getting poked myself though... I can do about two sticks before I’m ready to expel my breakfast... but all in all I’m quite enjoying the class, and hoping to get a good job doing that, and then I can leave retail behind me and have a real semi-grown-up job...
