Today at work can be summed up with the phrase "wow,that escalated quickly". It started off really decent everyone doing their jobs and smiling in then once the nimrod chefs came in things just started to go to shit. One of my best day guys has been having issues with attitude but just with the nimrods. Unfortunately they are still technically his bosses and so...

Another gloomy day in Illinois. The sun did shine for the last half hour of the day and the girls and I took advantage with a game of no net badminton in the yard. Alas I don't believe there will be any racquet sport champions among us but it was fun while it lasted. It ended as all badminton games when the last birdie got...

Thanks! I haven't put much photography up here because most of it isn't great yet. I'll be doing more.

Seriously, thanks, and good luck with the wedding and the zombie problem.

This crazy ass weather has taken out the wife with a migraine so I am watching robot fighting by myself. I opened so I got off at four and picked up the girls early. We had chili cheese tater tots and tiny burgers for dinner. The girls had planned on having Ms. Sun's best friend and her sister, who is The Ziz's age over to...

I know! LOL it's like the history of physical fitness
Rain rain rain.
I got off a bit early because I sound like shit. I feel fine aside from a bit of sinus but I have no voice. I went from me to Margot Kidder to mute in a day. At first it was kind of cute now its just pointless to try. Oh well they sent me home early yesterday and again today but...

thanks for the support

You take care Margo. 
Tonight I am going to a school play at the ziz's' school. I had to open to get it off but well worth it. Plus it is a good day to bail early because the exec got written up again for being an irresponsible dipshit so the mood was a little heavy. Ziz is so excited. She has three lines and she has the down....

Too cute.
I should write a new blog since I am actually at the computer. Keeping up on the phone is cool but I don't like typing a lot on it. So if my responses have been short lately that's why.
The kid free weekend was fun. We did go out friday night. We had dinner and drinks at Schooners. The wife wanted a french dip and...

You are a smart man! That's the thing to do! Set the record straight! He always does too! But those 'friends' still bring it up every now an again. It's like seriously yo, stfu.
elody:
lmao, youre so right, i am either barefoot and or in a kitchen the vast majority of the time
The kids are gone for the weekend. I didn't realize this was happening til this morning but who tells me anything. So I got off early because I had a crazy busy morning and the wife has declared that we are going out. Not to a movie either, for drinking and perhaps a bad band. I have to open so I can't get too crazy...

Thanks! I'd be a liar if I said going back to school doesn't scare the shit out of me but I've got an awesome supportive girlfriend cheering me on so that helps.
We eat a lot of shepherds pie in our house. I'd say at least once a month.

I feel like I'm blogging a lot for me lately. Kind of an odd time right now for me. The in-laws are gone. I think that was part of my problem. I don't sleep well when they are around because I can't do the two things that make me sleep. I have also been opening more which is disruptive sleep wise. Tonight I am off...

glad to hear the household is back to normal,
and sometimes,
asserting yourself in the workplace
just feels fucking good.

Oh please let the bountiful beauty of SG keep my mind from ruining my "day off" with fetid thoughts of work.

of course, "the bountiful beauty of SG" keeps me from thinking about work,
most of the time I'm actually at work.

The quote drove me nuts for awhile. I knew it but, it took some searching to remember the title. Have a great weekend.

Well, the in laws have descended and the children are all a twitter. Even the dog is extra hyper and she is usually just a lump. I am so glad the wife took her trip it was well worth the temporary brokeness. She came back in very good head space. That will all be torn asunder by a week with her mom but at least...

glad the spouse had a good recharging, & good luck with the in-law visit. I adore mine,
for about three days at a time.
& aye, it sounds like the kitchen field is fairly universal. Spouse works for a good friend of ours in his restaurant. Staffing, particularly kitchen staffing, seems to be the biggest consistent problem.

Ok I'm ready for my family to be back now I should not be left on my own this long. Thursday night I went to bed early because I had to open. Friday night I spent six hours cleaning and roaming the Internet. Last night I was determined to go out at least for a while.
I got off at about four and ran a...

Congratulations! I typically, always make plans to try & go out at least a little when my girls go out of town.
I'll occasionally make it to a neighborhood restaurant for a beer and a burger, or something;
usually I end up with a movie, and a bottle,
and spend the rest of the time bored enough to contemplate gutter cleaning.

And,
for what it's worth (which isn't much) I'm familiar with your pain,
in addition to a number of jalapeo facials
I once had a habanero private parts incident,
which required an immediate kitchen evacuation to the shower
& talcum powder bath.
It was . . . unforgettable.
