Monday Part II

I have to be at work at 5:30 am tomorrow, that completely precludes me from writing in this blog in the morning.
Not the end of the world, but I will throw something in here now.

I got sent to Arizona City - don't worry, it's nothing but a desert hell-hole in the middle of - the desert - to deliver 3 giant fittings early this afternoon, meaning I didn't get off of work until almost 4:00pm.

When I got back to the branch, I saw all kinds of emails coming from management.  One of which was an announcement about our new branch: the move will occur this coming Monday through Wednesday. In reading the email, I am to work out of our main branch doing our area's deliveries during this time.  That should prove interesting in itself, I haven't worked out of that branch in at least 4 years.  But, I know the warehouse manager well enough, he's cool and we get along quite well, though I also would have to believe that even though my manager won't be there, he will still be directing what is going on with our deliveries (versus the main warehouse manager).

I am very excited, actually, about moving into the new building. It is SO incredibly MUCH nicer than that old pile of junk building we are in now.  Plus, everything will be new in there, it will be, for all intents and purposes, a brand new store.  The new building is on a major street with LOTS of traffic all day long.  Not sure how that might affect the daily operation of things, plus there are a lot of beggars in the area, but oh well.  I am not dissing beggars, I help them from time to time though I prefer to buy them the food they say they are starving for versus giving them money so they can go buy booze or drugs.

No biggies on not having to help with the move since it's not going to be on a weekend and therefore, just normal work hours = no overtime. They will be moving ALL of that stuff, apparently, with a 24 foot 10 wheel truck instead of using one of the semi's.  Ordinarily, that would sound like a very foolish idea - there is a lot of material to move - but since the new building is literally a block away, that will work out in the end.

I received my check today. I have said nothing about this until now, I don't think.  I figure if another economic collapse occurs in 2012, this will create 2 things.  1, the fact that I get to keep some of that money that will undoubtedly be lost in more stock crashes and 2, money in the bank for extreme emergencies.  I did spend a chunk of change on those trailers, though I do not regret it, it also depleted my reserves.  I have been having these 401k loans going for quite a while now, it's not going to phase me, to be honest, to keep another one going, especially considering I pay the money back to myself, not to someone else, with interest.

I am definitely looking forward to having a PLACE to go to in the mountains - versus tent camping.  I used to love tent camping but, the realization struck me: I just don't like sleeping on the hard, cold ground anymore.

So, I am going out to my mother's on Thursday for a Thanksgiving meal.  Sunday, I am going out again with Caleb.  Caleb needs to see his grandmother is all I can say about that.  Mom called today and asked if perhaps we might like to go to the shooting range on Sunday as well.  I believe it's the Ben Avery Shooting Range that is like only 15 minutes away from her house.  I immediately accepted the offer. I want to shoot off both the SW40VE Sigma and the 12 gauge shotgun.  I have plenty of ammo and I know Caleb will get into it as well.

Oh, forgot the company Christmas party - November 10th and the Annual Cornhole championship - I won one year, got $200 out of it, too, lol.
 Umm, that's all.  Time for bed.
Later.
