General update

Not much going on. Played in the B&G Club Tournament on Saturday, and finished 12th. There were 11 prizes (figures, right!?!), but there was a bubble prize of $40 to the Village Inn. Being a friend of mine finished 8 seconds before me (causing me to become the bubble) but had more chips than I did when we went out, I gave her half so her and hubby can go enjoy as well. She played well and deserved it. This weekend is Super Bowl 48. Seattle vs Denver, to be played in NJ. Hopefully the commercials are good! TTFN~!

Quiet times...

Haven't posted lately because not much going on. Work is normal. I'm currently enjoying working all of the perishable business. Soon I will be training someone to take over one of the categories, but hopefully he will not be there long. He should be applying for an open position which I believe he will be very good at. Then, hopefully, the management team will realize we have too many workers and will not try to replace him. However, they worry about "head count" (not sure why) so I'll get someone else eventually. Haven't played poker live in over 2 months. Was hoping to go to the casino yesterday for a freeroll tournament, but couldn't make it. Next Saturday, I am playing in a charity tournament. It's one that I usually deal, but I want to play. Actually, though, going to a co-worker's house tomorrow for a tournament, but I will be dealing. They need the practice on how to play a live game, and I don't have the money to play, so I told them I'd deal. TTFN~!

Hump day...

Hope you all had a good new year celebration. Very quiet at my place. Anthony went to the roller rink and brought in the new year with friends and a great time. I sat on my ass, didn't drink, and watched TV. He got home at 1, and I didn't fall asleep until 2:30. Add to that I worked that day, plus New Year's Day, and the remainder of the holiday. Needless to say I was a bit tired. This is the first "normal" work week (no days off) and I'm still trying to adjust to the day of the week. It's getting slowly better though. Heading into my season at work, so I'm happy about that. It means I won't be slow. I am learning new things (ambient categories) which is great! I am becoming a well rounded employee, and actualy enjoying it. With the new seating arrangements, I can be seen (not hiding around a wall and a corner) so they know I exist. Getting involved in other aspects of the business means I am gaining respect. There is a new CBM and when she heard I could be coming on to her categories she got excited. Apparently she has heard one or two good things about me. Makes me excited for my role in 2014. Hopefully it lasts all year. Looking back at 2013, wow that year sucked. They say this year has to be better, but it could get worse. I hope it doesn't though. Haven't played a live poker game in two months. Going to play in a freeroll at a local casino on the 18th, then there is the Boys and Girls Club tournament on the 25th, which I am playing in rather than dealing this year. I want to play, and I'm fortunate enough that Unilever has seats, and I get one. Well, that's about it for now. Have to get back to work. TTFN~!
