Good morning,



What a wonderful week. The sun is up, the coffee is on, Scrappy is up and around and so is her master.

It looks to be a very nice day ahead. Would be nicer if I had offf but that, I do not know yet.......



It seems that the supervisor who I HAD to work for yesterday (and thus missed visiting with my aunts and uncles) who I was so looking forword to seeing, has not gotten back to me yet to let me know if he is going to work for ME today. So I may only have one day off this week (Tommorow) and I tell you...I really need that other day...esp after this weekend. Have you ever heard the word "POSTAL"??

That is what I feel I will become very shortly, if I do not get a break from work. So....if you see any "Repinski's" in the local news...it will probably be me...having gone crazy and on a shooting rampage.



I can see the headlines:



"MARRIOTT MANAGER SNAPS AND TURNS LOUNGE SUPERVISOR INTO UNEXPECTED SPECIAL OF THE DAY"



What else. Yesterday was Doris' daughter birthday...and I also missed her BBQ which Doris (My only ray of light) had invited me to but which of course I missed too. They were over at her sister Diane's who is also like a part of an extended family to me..and who I was also looking forword to seeing. Hmmm.



I have requested this saturday coming up off, to traverse up to the Brown "Homestead" for my neice's birthday party...but have yet to hear back if I will be allowed to go...work again. It depends on the ability to have our lounge staffed this weekend. We are suffering a serious shortage of bartenders right now. (Makes a good reason for self service alchohol) We will see.



If I do end up coming up, it wil probably be in a "snazzy Grand Am or a Camaro" as Millie (Doris' Daughter) will be borrowing my truck to move. (Yes...Doris' youngest is "flying" out of the nest and finding her own place...What a milestone...and to think that she was just a little kid snuggled in the backseat of her monther's car, sleeping and waiting for her mom to get done with work at Annie's on Layton in Milwaukee, when I first met her. My..how time flies. And of course I can not refuse Doris (or her Daughters) anything.....so my pride and joy (my little green truck) will be loaned out to a loved one.

I am trying to make the weekend in Nekoosa a possibilty and I will know more towords the middle of the week.



Hope everyone has a good couple days, and hopefully there will be more posts soon......(If I do not check myself into the local loony bin first!!)



Your's truly....



John
