Wow it's been a while and have I been busy.
Work has been totally crazy. It's awesome that my best friend is working with me again, but we have been going around to the accounts that belonged to the guy that quit and we have since found out he hasn't been to them in anywhere from 3 to 6 month. He may have quit in February, but in reality he quit last August. The places are in bad shape and have some very pissed off people. I am really surprised we didn't get fired form places. It will be rough the next couple of months trying to get everything back in line and re-building relationships with the customers but then hopefully things will calm down.
My wife's sister asked that we take care of her daughter during the week. She felt she was unable to get the help she needed for her eating disorder and be a mom at the same time. Since taking this on, we found out that our Niece has missed 80+ days of school this year already. Everyone around my wife's sister had offered to help by picking her up to take her to school and to bring her home but the help was refused. Shit like that just pisses me off. I can get that someone has their own issues and maybe they aren't in a state to do things for themselves. But when it comes to your child, if people are offering the help you need, accept it. The only person losing out is the child and that just isn't fair. On top of that crap, we took our niece in so that she could get to school on a regular basis and so that my wife's sister could get the help she needed. Instead she has just not gone to her appointments and just constantly lies about what she has or hasn't done. She lies so much I really don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth. At this point she could tell me the sky is blue and I would probably not believe that even though it would be the truth. It's going to be a constant battle for some time to come. I just hope that everyone gets the help they need and that everyone gets better. Because right now, it's just way to much crazy for people to handle.
I've continued playing poker on Monday and Friday nights and I have continued to do well. With the exception of 1 night were I got sucked out on and didn't cash at all, I have at worst broke even and for the most part I come home ahead. Regardless of who wins or loses though, everyone is easy to get along with and it is just a fun time overall.
So it's Friday and a new Clio set has gone live. That is always a great start to the weekend.
This weekend is the barrel tasting weekend up in Healdsburg. My wife and I and a couple of friends are going to spend the weekend at the wineries and probably end up spending way to much money. It's always a good time though and it's great to be able to taste wines out of the barrels and see how they taste at different points of the manufacturing process.
