Good morning! Another perfect day yesterday! I think perfect days (schedule-wise) are going to be a lot more common now that I'm working this booth. It's hard to screw up "go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, & go to bed". I'm still a lot busier than I'd like to be during work hours though. The more you work, the more money you make ... in theory. However, when you have to stop working constantly for all kinds of stuff, your income takes a hit. What started out as an already part time job has turned into a part time part time job at this rate. How to make it full time? Be there 7 days a week. They're open 7 days a week, but working 7 days is something that I am SO against! I might, we'll see. I made sausage for breakfast yesterday, got the mail, chatted w/ Pete, showered, & then went to work. I dropped off the stock that I had prepared the day before, went to RaceTrac for fuel, dropped Kyle off in Princeton for band, doubled back & went to the house to load more stock. On the way to the school Kyle & I passed a nice log cabin on the back of a truck. On the way home I ended up behind it on Bridgefarmer Rd.! OK, tiny country road, large log cabin on the back of a semi. What could possibly go wrong?! Needless to say we were going about 1 mph, but I didn't blame the truck driver. It's not like he could go 30 mph down this tiny country road with a house on his truck! Those hairpin turns slow down little cars, but a house?! He scraped every power line over the street. None of them caught & snapped amazingly, but they all scraped over the roof of the house & then fell behind it as he passed under them. I kept a safe distance just in case something did snap loose. I didn't want it falling on ME! He made it impressively far down the road before he got stuck. Very low tree branches. Problem. He stopped, got out, & started directing traffic around him. There was a very long line behind me & cars coming up the road from the other direction. I made it around & then called our fire chief Paul. I figured he may want to come out & assist with traffic & he was already at the station. I finally got home & started loading the truck w/ stock to drop off at the booth today. Each & every piece of stock that goes to the booth is photographed & posted on my booth's facebook page. This serves as a visual offsite inventory for myself as well as an online inventory for customers. For those in a hurry, see something you like online? Come down & grab it & go. No wandering all over for an hour looking for stuff. I understand time crunch ... hopefully I can assist others w/ this issue also. I worked on processing today's stock until it was time to go pick up 2 clothing racks that were needed for the booth. When I came back from that I took a lunch break, took care of my Avon delivery that just came in, then went back to work processing more of today's stock. I had to stop in the middle of working again to go get Kyle from band, then had to stop working again to do the grocery list thing because Kyle wanted the last of a staple item, then work time was over. So many interruptions. Imagine how much I could get done if Kyle could ride his bicycle to school & back like we used to when we were kids! But no ... "it's too hot!". Too hot?! It's only been in the double digits & the humidity is half that of Jersey! Too hot?! When did young, strong teens become so pussified?! Gawd! Oh well, again ... this is why I haven't worked in 2 decades. Thank God this isn't a REAL job where I have a boss & a timeclock to punch or I would have been fired already & it was only day 3. Late every day, leaving work every hour for something else that people can't do for themselves ... yeah, I could NEVER hold a real job. No one gains independence anymore. Even adult children just go suck off of whichever relative will let them loaf out at their place & play computer games. It's really sad. I'm SO disappointed in people today. I call them "The Mooch Generation". 101 excuses for everything. Their slogan in life is "I can't because ...". Absolutely NO problem solving skills. If they try to open a jar & it's hard to open, "I can't". If they try to start a car & it doesn't start, "I can't". Path blocked? "I can't". No ride to school? "I can't". We (the older generation ... the 40-somethings & above) would FIND a way. Move what's in our path. Walk or ride our bike. Pop the hood & fix the car. Find out how to loosen a stuck lid on a jar. We would never just try once & say "I can't" & then go sit in a chair & turn into a lump that our parents had to dust off once a week. UGH! It disgusts me. Have children they said. They'll take care of you when you're old, they said. HA! They can't even take care of THEMSELVES! Can't even get from point A to point B without their hand being held the whole way at ANY age! When I finally finished work time (although I wasn't really able to get much done w/ all the "help me because I can't by myself" interruptions (you'd think my kids were 1 & 4 wouldn't you?!), I took the dogs out & the FD got toned out to a mutual aid med call in a neighboring town, came back in & fixed dinner. Pete got home during dinner & we watched TV & went to bed a little earlier than the night before. YAY! Yesterday's Sims game was the medical career & my Sim had just aged up into a young adult & then headed off to the university on a distinguished technology award. Today I woke up only 2 hours late (an improvement), took the dogs out & loaded up Maplegrove in Sims. My Sim Michael is in the university on an apprentice fine arts award. He's been going to classes.

Before it was named Scrabble, the popular word game was called Lexiko & Criss-Crosswords. Nobody bought the games until Macy's chairman Jack Strauss played it while on vacation, & placed a big order afterwards.

Empathic (from empathy) listening gets inside another person's frame of reference. You look out through it, you see the world the way they see the world, you understand their paradigm, you understand how they feel.
I kid Burbank, but now be honest w/ me. It's not a mecca of intellectual thought, right? Burbank is so backward that even the yogurt here doesn't have culture.
