Ok Im not bored anymore

So on saturday morning, I opened the store and had to wait for 2 guys to come and pick up the Bookapotomus (I know I suck at spelling) fixture out of the store. Well they didn't have a furniture dolly so we had to call maitenance for one. So we lifted it on there and started to move it out of the store and as we are doing this the weight of the thing is make the wheels grind on the wooden floor. Well the wood is fine but after the whole fiasco was over with I had to go find some surface cleaner and get the rubber of the wood. Well before the cleaning, we were still trying to get this out of the mall. So we go into the service corridor and notice that this grabastic piece of shit isn't going to make it around the corner. With luck on our side another maitenance guy is coming through the hallway and says he has a better dolly for us to use. So after we get it onto the other dolly , it travels smoothly out of the mall. So then they needed help getting it in their trailer, so I helped them. After this was all over I noticed I had sweated through my favorite rugby jersey I wore to work that day. It was before the mall even opened too. So I went to Steve and Barry's and got a really cool t-shirt for like 7.98.
Then after work I call my dad up like I always do, and my mom answers and askes me whenI work next and I tell her not until tuesdays. She tells me to come up north to there camping trailer. It's a little past Duluth and just south of Two Harbors. So I said "uhhhhhhhh ok" So I did some laundry before I left and went up there. Was pretty cool up there. Last night (sunday) was like 55 degrees. I thought this was perfect weather to sleep under the stars, so I did. I grabbed my blanket and got on the porch and *slept*. It was the best sleep I have had in about 6 months.
Well 2 more days of work and then my vacation. Ocean Shores, Wa with just us Engrav boys, no mom or dad. Gonna be pretty cool. I will try to post pictures on here while we are on our trip. It all depends if we can find an internet connection. Well thats all for now, I will post again before the trip begins. Goodnight and happy Memorial day.

I am so bored

YesterdayI went to work on my day off. We got a new barge for the childrens area. Diana wanted me to come in at 0830 to be there for the movers. Well I got there at 0815 and they showed up when I did. So we got it in the store in pieces and Raulie and I put it together in about 4 hours. when we were working on it sometimes we would realize that we had to screw in a bolt before, so we had to take some parts down and redo them. My family is up north this weekend at their camping trailor in Two Harbors. I am down here looking after their house. I have to work this weekend so I cant go with them. It sucks. I have nothing to do. But I have a whole bunch of movies to watch and books to read. Later

Old Time Radio

Well the new "cold war" is still going on over here as far as I know. I was sleeping last night when she came home around 1, and then she left again after 10-15 minutes. I bet jon didn't like that. I have a pretty easy week. Monday, Megan and I are supposed to do something, dont know what though. Tuesday I have to work. Then on Wednesday and Thursday I have off and then Friday and Saturday I work. I have to start reading the ISO stuff for the bookstore again. I think the certification stuff happens when I am on vacation. So I will have to do it either before or after it. On Monday May 15th's Star Tribune, there was a section in the source page where you can send electric "Retro-grams". Basically sending a telegram only through e-mail. They also showed a website that you can listen to old time radio shows. I just finished listening to "The Shadow", it was pretty cool. I also have to work today. Kind of a short shift too, 1-6:30p.m. Normally I open and close on a Sunday. Well I think I am going to take a nap or read a book before I go to work. Later

Well this is going to be an interesting summer

Well I found out today that my friend's girlfriend who are both my roomates, sleeped with another guy. Yep, when she was at work he spilled the beans on his relationship. I feel really bad for the guy, cause he said he loves her to death. I didnt really like her to begin with, now I really dont. He said that she told him she sleeped with the other guy because she was angry at him. Well they have been on a break for about a week and a half. She even told him that he can date other women. he told me that he doesn't want to, he said he doesn't want to date anyone else but her. He even said that he is willing to give her another chance. I dont think it will work out. Then he said if it doesn't they will have to sell the house and me and him will get an apartment.
He later told me that they will have to raise my rent another 50 bucks. He said that beccause aparantly they are spending more money then they bring in. Well duh, going to target and walmart 3-4 times a week doesn't help. That wont be so bad I guess. It's just that I am going on vacation on the first week in june, so I might be late that month with the money. I told him I could do that in the summer, but when the fall comes and I go back to school (hopefully), I would not be able to cause I have to help pay for some of my tuition. He said that would be alright cause by that time they should be alright with money. That is if they are still together.
Overall, she is controlling of him and he loves her dearly. I dont know were this is going to go, but I hope it works out for him. Later

Baseball

I use to follow baseball all the time. I folllowed it when I was a kid. I used to play in summer league and collected baseball cards. I still have them and should probably look at a becket price guide and see how much they are worth. Then I think it was after 7th. or 8th. grade I just quite following it. Then when the Red Sox were in the ALC games against the Yankees, I followed it all 7 games and then the world series with the Cardinals. My mom was actually in Boston before the ALC chamionships and got us all Red Sox hats and t-shirts.
Then on Saturday, I got home from work and saw that there was nothing on tv but a baseball game with the Washingtion Nationals and the Atlanta Braves. So I watched it and enjoyed it. I then wondered why I had stopped watching it. I thought I would give it another try. So the next day at work I went to lids in the mall and bought a new Red Sox hat. I also bought MLB 2006 for PS2. I also told my dad that we should go to a baseball game this summer. So We are definatly going June 14th. or 15th. to go see the red sox play against the twins. My dad taught with a guy who played with the twins in like the late 70's. His name is Craig Cusack or Cusick. I think I have his last name spelled wrong. If there is a datebase for past twins players you guys should check it out. My dad also said that we should invite him with, I said that would be really cool and that I would have to stow away my red sox hat.
Now I have nothing against the twins. I enjoy seeing the twins play. Just somehow I have payed attention to the Red Sox more. I think I know what dawn is thinking as she reads this, lol. So I am going to start watching baseball again. I can tivo the games I miss when I am at work because we have a DVR at our place. In fact there is a Red SOx game on tonight against Baltimore. Well I have to go get ready for work. Later.

Sitrep (situation report)

Ok almost done. I have to do one more lecture guide and then the quiz and I am done with finals. My god I cant wait till I am done. I just saw an ad for the New season of Rescue Me with Dennis Leary. Its on May 30th. at 9 p.m. central on FX channel. I love that show I have the first season dvd. I think its hilarious, well theres alot of crude humor, so if anyone has a problem with that stuff probably shouldnt watch it. Okay back to work. Well, after maybe a beer or two. Later
