Usual stuff...


Well another week is almost done. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the grind of work on the job, work on stuff around the house, and various tasks so that time seems to compress and speed up. Before I knew what happened, it is already mid-June of 2006. I have a feeling that this "time change" gets worse as you age. Sorry for the philosophy break, but I just started thinking about how fast things have come and gone.
There are some juicy things that happened at work this week, but I have to keep quiet about them for awhile. Remind me in a couple of weeks and I will tell you all about it. There is one thing that will make it interesting at work that I can talk about. One of our technicians left for another job. It is a good move for her, but it means having to find and train a new technician. My track record in that area is not stellar. In fact, the last couple of hires I have picked have bombed. I have decided on one of the girls already working in the store, so as to cut down on some of the Wal-Mart training that we have to endure. I just hope that she will be able to pick things up quickly and that everyone "jives" OK. Tensions at work are not a good thing to have to deal with. I often feel responsible for any little spats that come up because I am the manager. But as George McFly says, "I am sorry son, but I am just not good at confrontations." The other thing about hiring the new tech that will be fun is that she is not able to come over to pharmacy until July 7th. That means the week of July 4th will not be pretty. I am thinking about working by myself on the weekend of that week just so we can have 2 techs on each of the weekdays. It is going to be brutal.
Enough about work, I have not said anything about Abbie yet, have I? She is walking now. She has not quite perfected it, and she crawls when speed is required, but she is walking nonetheless. She is growing so fast (all except her hair). She is making more demonstrative actions of affection and there is nothing better than a smile or kiss from that little girl.
Once again, I will try not to let so much time elapse between blogs but I can not promise anything. Have a good weekend everyone.

What a great picture! I can't believe she's walking. A year ago when we moved here she was a tiny baby sitting behind us in church... See you Sunday (or out in the yard).
