Odds and Ends:The Quest for Peace

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone's Thursday is going well. So it's T-Minus one day until I move onto my new job. I have a feeling today is going to be a long day and tomorrow will fly by. Either way it can't come quick enough.

Some of you have asked about my new job and what I will be doing for them. Well it's a manager position in their Golfworks department. I'm pretty sure I will have a staff of three to four. My main responsibilities will be golf club repair, making sure it is QC'd, fittings, and maintaining that department. I'm sure there is a lot more and I am a little nervous even apprehensive about it. I just hope it works out. Plus it is retail and the hours are going to be very different. I'm also a little worried that I may miss some of my daughter's events and I am not going to be happy if I do. However we all have to make sacrifices and this is just another sacrifice I have to make for my family. I think it will all work out, if it doesn't then I'll be looking for another job.

So what else is going on? I guess the biggest news item is the economy and what happened with Wall Street yesterday. I will be the first to admit I am financially ignorant, I don't understand how stocks and bonds work and quite frankly I don't really care. However from what I've read it sounds like things are not going to get any better and it may get worse. That's just wonderful. How much worse can it get? It's just sad to think that we have so many intelligent people in this nation and not one of them can come up with an answer on how to fix the economy. Pretty pathetic.

I am definitely looking forward to Monday. I am going to get to play my first round and probably my last round of golf for the year. I'm pretty sure this is the first year where I've only played once. I'm usually good for about eight rounds a year. This year was different because my son was born and the wife had a difficult pregnancy plus not having any cash doesn't help matters. Anyway I am heading down to play with my Dad at the course he works at, we did this a lot last year and definitely helped us bond. I really do enjoy playing but I enjoy spending time with my Dad. I know I will play like crap but that's ok it'll be nice to get out and have some time with him. Plus he's pretty damn good so it's cool to watch him play.

We still do not have cable, internet, or phone, which means I am doing a lot of this from work. Don't tell. I did call WOW yesterday and I guess they are getting a lot of calls because they aren't allowing any one to access a live rep, which is pretty crappy. So I guess I am going to miss the season premiere of Smallville which makes me a sad panda.

I definitely got some feedback on the pictures of Keely. I think I will add a few here and there of other ladies also, just to spice up the blog. There's nothing wrong with pictures of beautiful ladies just as long as you don't stalk them or touch them. LOL


Well I think that's about it for today, here are a few more pics of Keely and the newest addition Lucy Pinder. Have a good one!
