There is no "Hold Steady". you're either innovating and charging ahead, or you're atrophied and mithering away. never compromise. never settle. sleep when you're dead.

also, i came into work at 6:30 today, wtf? i did the math, and since i clocked in at 9am, i'm getting 17.5% of my hourly, or $1.54 per hour for my firt three hours. YAY!

so i'm not supposed to be here till 1, but two peopl ewho CAN't open were scheduled to, so i just showed up. opener isn't here yet, 2nd person isnt either, they're both supposed to be here RIGHT now. ...wednesday was re-rung as allens and a sale that should have been mine was rung as randalls. why am i in competition with 5 other people in a to-the-death game of "can we close this store?"

Summary : enables employees of all levels to bring to bear complaints and concerns about fellow coworkers in an equitible and fair fashion, while addressing concerns that employee voices are heard, and...possible termination. 5- In the rare occurance of a unanimous complaint, even minor infractions will be dealt with by a Probationary "first-and-last" warning, delivered by management in closed meetin

i occurs to me that i want a "Team". like the SEALS or an FBI unit. this is a reason i want to be more influential in a work environment of some kind. i need to be able to hire a couple of people i trust... and allen are the three closest people to that level of connection i've had, and i very much miss the first two. i need to have a family company, that cares and love it's people. i need my team

the weather is far more pleasant today than it has been recently, though still not 100% fantastic.  still, took the morning off (only 3 hours) and went bed shopping with tiffany.  she had a somewhat run...some beer brewing this evening...  tomorrow if not tonight anyway.  it's time.  it's been about 10 months since a fresh batch was made, and now that i finally have a large enough stock pot again, it's on
