thoughts and maybe some prayers

[dripley]

Just pulled into the drive way from a week at work. The wife calls me right when I pull of the interstate. Wants to know when I am getting home. Tell her I am 10 minutes away. Lets me know my 2 grand daughters are here and a couple of other pleasantries and the says "WE NEED TO TALK". I am going in now. Keep me in your thoughts and I hope I dont need any prayers.

Hope things go well.  I hate to hear those words.

You know you can call good friend on the other side of the US... I'm always here to listen...

I'd rather hear "you need a root cannel"than "we need to talk".  I hope it's not serious.

Well I survived the night. I believe my grand daughters are protecting me. We shall see. I like Jimmy Stewart's explanation of the these things the best.

Maybe that's why I'm still single and unmarried...

I'm guessing your granddaughter seen you looking at Dodge trucks down at the dealers. I'm out in the woodshed for falling in love again at the dealers. lol

I still wear the same look on my face the future son in law has on his on occasions. He seems to understand about as much before as he did after the talk. It is one of the best parts of that movie. You cant be married without a lot  at times. Pretty sure it works both ways.

My grand daughters know how much their grandaddy loves his truck. I try and stay a way from things I can't buy at the moment but it is still fun to look.

Well the other shoe dropped. It turned out not to be anything I had done but equally as distressing. Turns out she lost her job due to some rule infractions. Not good by any means but not the end of the world. It has happened to me before and it sucked. So maybe we need some prayers for her that she can find a good replacement. Folks are hiring around here in retail like she does and some other stuff so we will just see what happens.

If she lost her job for x y z reason I am forced to believe there is a better door open.

 1)Sometimes rules get broken due to that fact they aren't well adapted to running the business properly. Got to give your wife credit for being more efficient as it may be. Benefit of the doubt anyway

 

Prayers from Oregon Bud.

 

 

2)Pray too Michael stops to help a fellow stranded 2nd gen owner and walks around the truck and it's a cute babe with diesel all over her hands.

She gets the benefit of the doubt from me for sure. She has to punch for a living and does know how to show up 5 minutes late which they frown upon and has punched late some while waiting for someone to take over the dept she works in, another no no. She works retail in a dept store. She is a bra specialist and took her depart from 18th to 6th place in NC. She also took more sick days than allowed even though she has Dr's excuses. So she and the rules would have to get the blame and she knows some of the fault lays at her feet. There is another store on the other end of the mall that has been trying to get to come over so maybe that will play out for her. I certainly hope so. I know when it happened to me it was pretty tough but I/we moved on and it all turned out for the better in the long run.

 

Appreciate the prayers my friend and will pass that along to her. 

 

That second thing might be hard for MM to pass. You never know.

Like I said above, she is partly at fault, know it and takes responsibility for her part. It seems that there were others that were let go also. One that had been there for 8 years. I am going to try and look a little closer at it because it seems they were in or near their 60's as is JoAnn. But since I dont know there infractions who is to say what is going on. But I like you think this is just another opportunity in life but her age makes it a little tougher like it or not.
