Odds and Ends

It is after 3:30 AM already so I have to make this quick.

There I went again messing around where I should not have been. I uninstalled my firewall and now I do not know how to get it back. I don’t know what the hell gets into me sometimes. Maybe it was just a trial version and I need to pay for a firewall. But I thought that it came with my virus scan. I did re-download the virus scan but it told me that I had a new version and I could not install the one that I downloaded. Ugh! Leave it to me to piss around long enough to really ball up everything!

Last week I was in the garage using the jack handle as a post to hang a glove on while I tried to spray paint the glove. When I got done spray painting I was putting the jack back where it was so that Dick would not crash into it when he pulled into the garage. Well I manage to smash my foot with the jack. I hit the side of my foot right at the joint of my big toe. (I wanted to write about this before but I did not know how to describe the injured area.) It was not a big nasty gash but it was a gash none the less and it was not all the pretty. Actually the gash was small but quite ugly. And it hurt like an SOB. (Thank God it was not the other foot ~ because that is the foot that I have what I call my stupid toe. Old injury that never healed properly and still bothers me a lot.) Anyway…my gash is healing. I wear a band-aid when I wear shoes but I open it to air as soon as I get my shoes off. Walking was not easy over the weekend. Thanking God again! I had a floorwalker to sell bingo cards so I did not have to do that. I had to sell bingo cards tonight. I did just fine ~ no pain!

The big jackpot progressive, almost $3000 went tonight. Now we will be slow because none of the other games are very high. The other progressive game is inching its way up.

Supe was not able to terminate an employee today. It is pretty hard to call someone that does not have a home phone or cell phone. How fair would it be to call his other job to tell him that he is no longer employed? I have to do it tomorrow, in person, when he shows up for his shift. I am going to try to meet him outside the building. That way he is not there in uniform then not there. Since he is a key carrier it will be easier to get his key than to change all the locks. I just hope that he has not put in his notice at his other job like he planned on doing.

I was hoping that Supe would be able to do this one for me. It makes me very uncomfortable even though he has been given more chances than I would give anyone else.

I broke the news to Alexa today that she will not be wearing the wedding gown for Halloween. It will be to hard on her to be dragging it around. It would be a totally different story if the weather were a bit nicer. But sine the weather had to turn crappy right before Halloween, it will be easier for her to just wear the sweat suit. So they will all be wearing their Little Hairy Guy Masks and the sweat suits for Halloween. I am not even excited about it because it has been so darn cold.

Okay it is almost 4 AM and I better get to sleep. I have the grand shift of banking, audit, and open! Go me! NOT!

‘Night all!

I don’t envy you a bit to have to fire someone. I had to do that once…no fun at all even though this person desperately needed to go. Flower is dressing up as an 80’s chick!!
