strategery

as i sit here listening to my laundry in the next room, pondering what my 1st day @ the "new" job will be like, i realize that mostly no-one has any idea what's been going on this end of the blogosphere. so, here's a (sorta) brief update:

i've been hating my job for, oh, 6 mos. or so now. most of you already know that, & the reasons why. then i got "fired". really, i'm being "demoted". really, it's a transfer to a newer store (read: "all the equipment actually works") & a raise in pay. oh, & less responsibilities.

in other words: no more taking work home; no more tedious, weekly meetings; no more sitting on the front porch for the better part of my "day off", making next week's schedule, or covering shifts on this week's; no more ethical dilemnas, forcing me to choose the lesser of 2 evils. i'm now an employee, rather than an employer &, as such, am free to treat the people under me as if they actually have worth.

...did i mention more $ & less responsibility, hours, headaches, & grey areas?

i don't mean for this to seem like one of fro's, becca's or karen's blogs, but...

i mean, who else but GOD could've engineered this? this is exactly what i wanted --needed, but could not find a way to do. this is a beneficial move in every way.

except gas. oof! that gas! i love my truck, but 12 miles per gallon!?!

but i digress. the point is: everything's just peachy this side o' town. y'all come over some time.

oh, & also: GOD is great!
