one foot in the grave

.

Last night, one of my favorite HBO shows came back on. Six Feet Under. I love that show. The Fishers life makes mine look like the Cleavers.

Today was #7, in a row. I had switched shifts with John, really didn't feel like closing on day number seven. I didn't sleep last night, I kept feeling my pulse in my tooth. Sunday at dinner I playing with the chopsticks pushing my front teeth together and I thought they were sore from that, I was wrong. I don't know if I broke something inside or have an infection, all I know id my mouth is throbbing. I already had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow and called in for pain pills today. They aren't helping much.

When I walked in I ask Jeff if there was any way I could leave early to try and get to the dentist, nope, no can do. So, I got the pills and suffered through the day.

It wasn't all bad though, when I walked in Jeff asks me if I am ready for my life to change. I know what he is talking about instantly. Mandy, our assistant manager has been offered a few managers positions but has turned them down. She is in the same boat I am. She has two stores she wants, the one we are at and one other. The other is coming open for her, which opens the door for me. July 1st is the date. If she doesn't take it she may not be offered again. She flat out told our district manager if West Oaks came open she would take it. I will be off the floor, no more selling, it will be awesome.

So, here's how it looks. John & Mandy leaving at the end of the month. I will replace Mandy which means we need a new Sr. Sales Rep, Clint will take my place which means we will need a new sales rep. Page may replace John (as the other new senior) leaving another open sales rep job. Basically we need an assistant, 2 seniors and 2 sales reps. Jeff is about to have an aneurysm. He sat and called about 25 people from resumes. He is still in meltdown mode.

Now, as happy as I would be as an assistant, I am not getting my hopes up. It was a "sure thing" the last time she was supposed to leave. Needless to say she didn't. I think she is scared of leaving the 'nest' and I hear the current assistant over there is a real bitch. Dazed, I am sure you totally get what I am writing here tonight LOL

There was some other good news, it seems I am number one in the market for accessory sales. wow, I had no idea. It does help boost your numbers when you work the first seven days of the month in a row.

Ashley news -- We got the proof of the pics they took at the ceremony. GLOWING is the only way to describe it. I want to take it and blow it up a million times to see that unadulterated smile every day. She stopped by this evening to collect some more graduation cards. It seems she took all of Hannahs makeup, her belt and the playstation. Little snips here and there, I saw her for about 15 minutes and then she was off again.

I am off tomorrow and Sunday. Tomorrow dentist, then doctor for Hannah, then lunch (if I am able to eat by this point) and then a movie, just she and I. Sunday I am taking some friends from work on the boat then Tuesday Hannah & I will be going to Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. Hopefully Larry can take off and go with us.

Well I am off to try and get some sleep without the throbbing pain *pouts*
