So this was my first week back at the ‘Pool (that’s short for Whirlpool). It hasn’t been too bad. Training is was a bit boring, but necessary because I surely don’t remember everything that I did 2 years ago. I still do miss my guys from IdleAire, that was a great crew. Not to mention [...]

Oh what a night……
Just sitting here after playing my new guitar (will have pic’s soon) and enjoying a small glass of red wine. Margaret is in the bedroom; possibly still watching Alton Brown on the portable DVD player; and relaxing. She’s had a stressful evening. The school we’re going to is trying to screw her [...]

Sorry about not posting more regularly… We’ve been so busy with work and school it’s been hard to keep up. Darryl has started his CPR/First Aid class and I start my math class tonight (I’m a little anxious because I’m not really good @ math).

Some back story: I used to work for a [...]

My superior at work today brought in some McDonalds sausage biscuits this morning. Well, he bought 3. By the end of the day he only had one left and it just sat on the counter all day. I suggested to him that he hide it somewhere for a week or 2, so it’d get real [...]

Today my supervisor asked me where the hole puncher was. I get up and walk across the office and pull the thing out of the drawer and hold it up for him and say, “Here’s where you put the hole puncher.” He looks up, nods, and goes back to what he was doing. I put [...]

This is as monumental of a post as it was for me to bring firends together at break time at my old stomping grounds (except I’ll try not to leave). At my new job there are two buildings: 1 that’s the main office and the other that used to be a doctors office. I’m currently [...]

Today was my last day at Whirlpool. I never mentioned before where I worked, but seeing that I no longer work there I’m giving up that info. I enjoyed all the hugs and handshakes from everyone. I have to say that is one thing I’m gonan miss about that place, and that’s the camaraderie. It’s [...]

Darryl was offered & accepted a position as a junior drafter with Saddlebrook Homes today. ***Yippee*** I’m a little sad because this will be the first time in 4 yrs that Darryl & I have not worked together, but I’m so happy that he is finally getting a job that will be both challenging & [...]
