Well last night was a good night indeed. When my wife got home from work she was carrying a bouquet of balloons and a card. I asked what they were for and she said for her last day of work.
"I thought your last day was going to be next Fri."
"It was but when I looked at the schedule they erased my name from the list. So tonight was my last night. They didn't want me to work my last week."
So she did what she thought was the right thing and her boss did what I wanted her to do. Instead of her snubbing them, they snubbed her. Oh well. The important thing is that she will no longer work at that grocery store. She now has 2 weeks off work till her new job starts. She will now be at a job where she will be happy with what she does.
The balloons and card that she was given were from some of the cashiers. Her boss did not sign the card, neither did Queen B and Hot B. The big balloon said you are appreciated.
On a side note I talked to a friend last night about our situation. I said some things that I have been thinking for quite some time now. The amazing thing was that as soon as I said them I felt different. Everything got quiet, my head wasn't so heavy, and the most important thing was that my mind stopped racing at 100+ miles per hour. That last thing is something that I have wanted for as long as I could remember. I wrote about it in a previous entry some months ago. About how I can never turn off my mind. It is always thinking about several things at once. Constantly. Well last night it shut off. Of course it turned back on this morning but last night was amazing.
On the final note for tonight I'm just curious what month are we in here? Here we are in the week before Thanksgiving and it is still in the mid 70's as a daily hi. We have had no rain at all this year. Last year at this time we had over 5 inches of rain and were in the low 60's-hi 50's. My dad and I went goose hunting today and on the way home this afternoon we had to turn on the AC. While hunting I only wore a sweatshirt till about 10:00. Then I was in just a T-shirt. For the second week in a row we never raised our guns to our shoulders. There were all kinds of geese in the area but they were all 500-600 yards in the air and not working the call. So we will be giving up on waterfowl for next weekend and try our hand at pig hunting. The club has a new pig property about 90 minutes from home. So we will try that on Fri. and Sat. It will be 3 people going. We are going to try to get a pig for the family Christmas party this year. I want to roast a pig in a dug out pit in the ground. I've never had one like that but hear they are good.
On a plus side to the hunt besides it being better than the best day at work (The worst day hunting is better than the best day at work), is that the dog that my dad got back in Sept. is coming along nicely. He is not gun shy and is really starting to settle down around the blind. He is even teaching himself how to point birds out. He is going on point at every thing. He even points flys on the wall. He should turn out to be a real good pheasant dog by next year.
Well this is longer than intended and I have been up since 1:30 this morning so I'm going to snuggle with my wife and go to sleep.

Yeah the weather has been amazing where I am too. This is the first year we made it through an entire football season without any rain. The guys were kinda disappointed that they didn't get their annual mud game.
Good to hear that your wife is done with her job. It's better to let them be the jerks. She walked out with her head held high and they are going to have a lousy, understaffed week ahead of them!!
