It’s 5am and I really don’t have a lot to say today. I’m just kind of drawing a blank.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I had a productive day at work and the misses did upstairs as well. The kids arrived home from school around 3 on their bikes and jumped right into their homework. After that it was out to their bikes. Mom made meat loaf for dinner and then we all watched a little tv before heading to bed.<\/p>\n
For the past couple days, I’ve kind of been in a fog. Have you ever felt like your heads foggy and you need to shake it out? The misses says I have allergies but I don’t know. We both think we need to give up sugar and stop drinking so much coffee. She might be right on both accounts. This morning I’ve only had 1 cup and think I’ll stop there as I’m already kind of buzzing. I also am going to avoid all sugar today to see if I feel better.<\/p>\n
The misses works today from 9:30 until 5pm. Yesterday her close friend and co-worker, Carrie, gave her two week notice. Now we’re not sure how she can do this as her husband is pretty much an unemployed architect. We think he just got a couple of jobs but it’s been real tough for them too. The misses might not be too far behind. $10.50 an hour, with no real benefits like health insurance or a 401K, \u00c2\u00a0after taxes just doesn’t do much but it’s better than nothing. She’s looking for something else as retail is not a pleasant experience. Even in Whole Foods, there’s a lot of wackos.<\/p>\n
Somethings coming, I can feel a change in the air. I’m not sure what it is, a career change for one of us? Some opportunity we don’t expect? Just something. Grandma Dixie called the other day concerned about us or rather me, after reading a post. I assured her I’m fine but thanked her for her concern. I explained that I (or we) are ok, it’s just that we’re not sure that what we’re doing in life is where we want to be, or supposed to be, in the future. Call it a late mid life crisis if you will. Not sure what it all means but we’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n
More work to do today on reorganizing the Company to meet the challenges we now face and get ready for 2012. No matter what happens, I know this is the way to go and hope my partners agree as the status quo just doesn’t work. Maybe all this has something to do with some sort of change. I’m not really worried as I have a few other job opportunities if it ever came to that. Who knows, it might be the best thing if I took on a new opportunity, I guess it’s all in the master plan of the big guy so I shouldn’t really worry about it, whatever happens, will happen. At least we own a bunch of stock, maybe we’ll go sell a bunch of that!<\/p>\n
Oh well, I’d better go make some calls and catch some people in Italy as it’s almost 2 in the afternoon there. If you wait until 10am here, it’s 6pm there and hard to get ahold of people.<\/p>\n
We’re all excited for our trip and we sure need the break, especially the misses and I. This time next week we will be there.<\/p>\n
We just found out we owe a bunch in taxes on October 15th, super! That’s another issue I have with my company, we get profit distribution on our K1’s or tax forms but don’t get any cash distributions to pay the bill. It’s like we can’t afford to own our stock. Oh well, sorry to jump back into ranting about my job. Don’t worry Grandma Dix, I’ll be fine.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, time to run, hope everyone is well, have a great day and God Bless.<\/p>\n
p.s. it’s a big weekend for Grandma as the Green Bay Packers play the Denver Broncos! I guess it’s not that big of a weekend as she’ll for sure be cheering for the Packers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
