Yeah, I’m still here.  I’ve been working support for a new store that’s opening in my area. 

Speaking of which, I was talking with one of the coordinators, and I asked him if the store was going to install any cut-out ramps in the concrete right in front of the entrance/exit doors.  He looked at me like I was a crazy insane person.  Appparently this retailer’s perspective is “We want to make it easy for customers to come into the store.  Once we’ve got their money, we don’t care if they have $1000 worth of equipment in a shopping cart, they can push it around an extra 20 feet to get to the existing ramp around the corner.”

Then of course he pointed down the strip mall and said, “I bet Office Depot doesn’t have any ramps in front of their doors.” 

On the way back from lunch we drove past Office Depot.  Yup, the whole front section was a ramp.

I can see why this particular national retailer is having some problems.  They seem to think it’s well-paid loyal workers, I’m getting more of a customer service/satisfaction vibe.  Luckily, I’m not directly employed by them!

You know that feeling, right?  You start the day ready to tackle the toy explosion in the living room, and by 10am you just can’t keep yourself focused.  You really want to relax.  Sit on the couch, eat a few almonds, and pretty soon you’re thinking about blogging.  Or maybe taking those pictures of your stash.

NONONONONONO, I need to keep working.  Ok, I need to take this load of toys upstairs to the computer room.  Hey, I can blog for a minute.  Just a minute!

Yeah.  That feeling.

So to make up for having to work on Saturday (tomorrow!), I am basically taking today off.  I’m on call so no Anna!  It’s a total recipe for disaster.

I started the cuff for my Pomatomus mate, but you’ve seen a picture of the other cuff and it looks the same, so…. 

Ok, back to cleaning.  I’ll probably swing by a Home Depot and look for a toy containment strategy.  Don’t you wish you were me?

Don’t answer that!
