Afternoon, guys!

Congrats, Joe! That's great news!

Last day of a three day weekend here. It felt weird having Saturday off along my usual Sunday and Monday but with this weather, I'm not complaining. Went to the outlet mall with everyone this morning. Had to get a new pair of work shoes and got the kids some summer clothes. Found out that the LCS I went to when I was up at school is opening a location down here which is awesome and extremely dangerous at the same time. lol. Now I'm contemplating napping on the couch. What's everyone else up to?

Good afternoon gents. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Happy Birthday Jamison!

I feel bad for not having been around, but I will give as quick of a rundown as I can.

Bad news:
My store hasn't made sales in about a month. Because of that, they are cutting hours like crazy. I pick up as many shifts as I can, but it has me working every day, 7 days a week to try and stay at 30 hours. It may not always be long shifts, but working every day has been kicking my ass. I am all kinds of tired.

Good news:
I did get a 20¢ raise. It would have been 50¢, but they had to prorate it since I haven't been there a year. Every little bit helps though.

Best news:
I did get my promotion, kind of. I passed the interviews and have been signed off on. There are no open positions at the moment, so I have to wait until a position opens up at a store before I can start in my new position. That's guaranteed 40 plus a raise between $5-6 an hour. Once I get in position, things will definitely be on the upswing. :D


Glad to see you around, bro!

Good Afternoon Gents! Busy day off but getting a lot done. We finally picked up a new weed whacker that I just finished setting up. Just waiting for the battery to charge before putting it to use. Meeting up with a friend for some lunch then it is grocery shopping time followed by yard work and making dinner.

Joe - GREAT to see you dude! Sounds like everything is finally starting to turn around work wise. I wish you the best!!! Sounds like you and Chrystal have been having a good time during baseball season. Nice IP autographs :)

I would just like to thank Pete [MENTION=1784]lonesomeagle1[/MENTION] for helping me create a couple of custom cards. I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to Photoshop so I could never do it. My plans are to have them printed with one or 2 being signed by Scott Diamond. He had no Chrome rookie or prospect card so I took it upon myself to get one for my collection lol.

Well guys, I'm about to head out for my first final of the semester. It shouldn't be too bad. And if I did my math right, all I need is to get a 154/200 on it to pass the class with an A. On our midterm I had a 190 so I hope I'm good lol

I know what you mean Ty! It seems like you need to price your stuff @75% of what the cheapest ine sold on eBay because they are saving you the fees. The fees aren't that much though
