I've been busy

And I hate that I haven't had time to blog. Work and sleep and sleep and work.

**Wednesday was an intense day. The company owner and both district managers (or as I like to call them, the honchos) were in my store because we got one of our two yearly inspections dropped on us by international. As the guy put it it's really a "snapshot" of how your store's doing. I think he was surprised when I said I wasn't nervous. I know Steve was freaking out, calling the honchos in, running around crazy. Personally, I feel that panic is a poor use of your energy. If I need to freak out I will do it later, preferably in the comfort of my own home. Oh, and we ridiculously busy that night and understaffed in general and definitely understaffed for that quantity of business. However, my employees did a fantastic job. If I was a hugger there would have been hugs aplenty. And I did pretty well on the inspection. If my district manager is happy, then I'm happy. I feel good because this is kind of big deal and I didn't screw it up, sort a validation of how I'm doing and what I'm capable of handling. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.

**As I've said, I have a problem with things. Specifically getting rid of things. However, I have made a rather large pile of stuff I'm parting with. I have a list of larger items I'm looking for homes for, like my old PC. All this sorting of my possessions has lead me to ponder some deep questions: "how many bath towels does one person need?" and "How did I end up with four and half sets of measuring cups and four and a half sets of measurings spoons anyway?" also "Why did I think a glass cutting board was a good idea?"

**MissE has challenged me to a game of Scramble on Facebook. Which is exactly like Boggle, which I've always loved. I now have a new addiction. It's a bit tricksy if you're a bit dyslexic though.
