It's almost hockey season again.......

Well I do have to say that I have been reading the sports section again and looking forward to seeing sports on the news. I am looking for any information I can get on hockey. I am especially interested in how my team is setting things up. Who are we signing? Who are we going to put on waivers etc. Mostly though just making sure that we sign our boy wonder #61 Rick Nash and that Tyler Wright is not put up for grabs or anything. My heart would crack if he were to be traded. It's just exciting to see things back in action. I cannot wait till the season opener. I know that place will be electric. It always is for the first official game of the season but this time I have a feeling the hockey starved fans of Columbus will blow the roof off of Nationwide arena. I am gonna be there and I cannot wait. Game on kids!

I found out I get to attend 2 meetings next week woo hoo. One is at the Aladdin shrine temple it is at 8 am in the morning. So that means I have to get up at like 6 am get to work by 7 meet up with Amanda and drive across town in morning rush hour traffic. What a pisser. Then the very next day I will have to get my not a morning person at all self out of bed about the same time and drive clear to circleville Ohio for another meeting that is going to last about 6 hours. The trip to circleville is not that bad with the traffic and all because your going from the city to a little town. Anyways I am sure it will be boring as they usually are but I have to do it. At least I finally talked management into letting Amanda go with me to our spring and summer show. Good thing to cause no management will be able to attend with me and I sure as heck did not want to go by myself. Oh and yes I did say spring and summer show up there. So I will be oredering my spring and summer stuff for next year within a few weeks and summer is not even over yet! Ah the joys of my job. You have to really plan and think ahead. For instance I ordered my Christmas stuff in like April. Takes awhile for that boat to get over here to America with all that cargo. Plus retailers just keep pushing holiday items out as early as they can. Doing this job sometimes makes you really jaded as far as the holidays are concerned. In my dept we basically have to be back the night the holiday is over or very the next day to set up the next one. Then you get those customers and their "Gee your putting out (insert holiday here) stuff already? " Well yeah I guess we are because we are not going to leave it in the backroom because chances are it has allready been in the store 2 weeks by that point pissing all the other departments off cause somehow or at some point it is in their way. Not to mention we just can't leave 80 feet of shelving empty for you to put stuff on that you decided not to buy. Believe me I don't like putting out all the Easter stuff the very night or next day after Valentines but it's my job and I have to do it. I would rather do it that way though than just put a bunch of filler stuff in the aisle for a few weeks and have to turn around tear it down and find somewhere for all of it to go then proceed to build the aisle all over again. So yeah damnnit in just a mere few weeks I will be putting out Halloween already so deal with it.

So yeah I am in major gripe mode about work but sometimes you just have to get it off your chest. I also found out today that I was given a problem empolyee from another department. Way 2 go for me huh!
I doubt this person will last long with me though. I don't take shit from anyone. I think that may be the point here though. So again Game on kids! Make sure you all have the proper saftey equipment before you come to the game. Anywho enough about work I spend enough time and energy on that place.

I am happy to say that the heat has finally broken here for a week or so thank God! It was just plain unbearable some days. It's going to be in the 80's for the remainder of the week and into most of next. So I can finally go outside again! I don't do heat well. Well I do believe that is all for now kids so until next time go buy a cool cd or something.
