As of late my days have been steady, but not crazy-busy. Today was the day for that to change. I SWEAR that someone put up banners saying “Play with your phone settings, Dan doesn’t have enough to do today.”

I have had more calls today than I can believe. Of course, I did get everyone taken care of, so that’s a good feeling. Hopefully I’ll be able to relax at the meeting later.

The “forum” is working rather well. The only issue I’m having is getting the time set correctly. The few people I have invited are timidly using it and nothing’s broken yet.

I discovered this evening how to manage my message board in the domain. Still tweaking it and inviting close friends and family to join. I would say it’s in the “alpha” stages. Nowhere near ready for primetime, but able to be tested and used.

Jaycees’ meeting tomorrow night. Woot.

We actually came up with some good ideas at the board meeting last night. There are many good projects that we will be undertaking in the next few months that should prove worthwhile and enjoyable.

Erich cracked me up yesterday when I asked him “How’s it going”, he replied “Pretty well”. Maybe you just had to be there, but I found it hilarious.

Sissy bumped her foot last night and wouldn’t go to sleep until I got home so she could tell me about it. I have no idea why she had to inform me, but she thought she did.

Saturday was relatively uneventful. We all just sat around the house and relaxed. Did some laundry and vacuumed. We’re wild people.

Then the kids decided they would pick up their room after I had been asking them all day. So I called Jennifer because they had been asking to go out there all day and I countered with the picking up of their room. Jennifer said it was okay, so we took the kids out there for a few hours.

Em and I then had dinner at “El Amigos”. It’s a pretty good joint, but if you’ve been to “El Rancherito”, it’s the same food. I will say that El Amigos was a spot better. Unfortunately, while I was eating I couldn’t get over the two very large parrots staring at me. They made for nice atmosphere, but creeped me out. (See photos)

Then we went to the mall and picked up some new clothes for the kiddos. I picked Erich a few polo shirts, and we got Amaya a very cute little outfit. Hopefully the clothes make it to pictures at school on Monday.

Nothing exciting at work today. Usual customer calls and issues.

After work I came home and did laundry, dishes, and started dinner. It’s amazing what you can get done in 1/2 hour. Then I took most of the movies we had out back to Blockbuster and went to pick up the kids (Jen had them).

On the way home I got to hear all about “Circus Day” at daycare. Apparently the kids had a great time. They had even more fun when they got to go with Aunt Jennifer and play with Tysia. The kids ate while they were there, so my chicken alfredo and pasta goes in the refrigerator for Mom tonight and us tomorrow.

Unfortunately this week is the end of inventory at the warehouse so there are joyous 10 hour days mandatory and quite the good possibility of working Saturday and Sunday. I hate her work. As for me, the uncertainty at work lingers. Upper management is all about the positive spin, and I’m trying to stay upbeat, although there are MANY around me that are CONSTANTLY being negative.

Whether I have a future with Alltel or not (hopefully I do), I’m excited about the possibilities and am going to do my darnedest to impress them.
