Today I had to wake my tech up. Jeff scheduled him at 8, me at 9. Since I have the keys to the store, he slept in his car. Jeff sent a message straight to my phone (if you have a sprint phone, and want to send a message to another sprint phone without it ringing, dial 11 before the number heh heh heh). Anyway, seems Al our district manager was coming today.

There are soooooo many changes going on right now. So many that Al himself sent out a plea for seniors.

I got my offer letter for my new position. It was about a grand less than I was hoping for. I told Jeff come review time in Feb. he would need to fix that. I can tell him things like that and he knows I'm serious but will take it as the joke I intend it. Did that make sense?

We had this girl Cassie who used to work for us. She went to another store because they needed someone and we needed someone who was going to be around (she was going into the navy) She got over there and decided to stay and got promoted to a senior. She hated her manager, did not perform well and was about to be fired. When Al told Jeff, Jeff said give her back to me. As a sales rep. This is what I love about Jeff. He just saved Cassies ass from being fired. He likes her and knows she will do better with us than where she was. (I told you, we are the best store in Houston ;)

Cassie walks in to talk to Jeff with her dog under her arm, shorts and a tank. That's Cassie. Showing up for what most would consider a re-interview with her dog and shorts. Now, until that moment Jeff had not shared with me what was going on. I was off yesterday when this came about and today was crazy as always. I'm no sherlock homes, but it didn't take me long to figure out she was coming back to us. Jeff tells her take the dog home and I chime in "and change clothes" She laughed at me.

When Cassie started, I was the one who trained her. She is a great girl and I am glad she is coming back with us. It will make it a lot better having a trained rep (albeit shell shocked one) instead of three down and two newbies.

Cassie is awesome, I am glad she will be back with us. She looks to me as a mentor (yes I am old enough to be someone's mentor) I took her out for a beer after I got off (she drank, not me), we talked and gossiped and ate. She is a good friend an I am glad she is back.

Now, Ashley wants me to pick her up on my way home. I pick her up, she asks if dad is home. Yes, why? "I want to go ..." No way ash, we are not carting you around. Its only up to the college (like a mile from my house) and I am out of dr. peppers so Larry gives in. She is here and there and it's OK. She will finish thank you cards this stay though!!
