March: What a Wonderful Month!

It has been a while since I last graced this blog with an update. Don’t’ worry, I am not going to be all apologetic this time, I’ve just been busy. One thing that I find funny is that I set up a blog on Blogger so that I could update it at work every now and then with little or no flack from management but this is the first entry that I have posted almost since I set up this blog.

Laura and I upgraded our cable yesterday; the digital DVR box should show up on our door step today! I’m excited actually. I will have all of my Discovery Channels back (like Military and Health) and my Sci-Fi (just in time for Battlestar Galactica, yes…I am a geek). Also, we will be able to watch network shows in High Definition and apparently Cox’s HDTV selection is continuing to grow so that should be exciting (crosses fingers hoping that Sci-Fi goes HD soon). The cable goes live on Wednesday, the only thing I am disappointed about is that I have to work Wednesday night (more on that later) so I won’t be able to enjoy the new cable until probably 10PM…but enjoy it I will! Hopefully, I will have company to enjoy it with :)

Back to the topic is work…so I get to work on Sunday and open up the schedule and realize that they have me scheduled for 3 hours on Wednesday night (6-CL). I stared at the paper in disbelief and then realized that it is also like that next Wednesday. I went up to my supervisor and asked “What is this Wednesday stuff all about?” he asked me if it was okay with it and I said “I would have been, but Lisa’s class schedule changed and we usually do something on Wednesday nights now so this was just a little unexpected” He ensured me that it is only temporary and he thanked me for telling him. I really appreciated that, because he could have been mean about it, but instead is understood and is going to help. He really cares about me as a person and that is something that is hard to find in a manager these days. I really should have updated my Availability when Lisa’s class schedule changed but I didn’t because I thought “Why would they schedule me for 3 hours?” I can now see why ;) The good news is that I found someone looking for hours next week and I gave them my Wednesday shift…suckers, lol. Actually, it works out better for them as well, so all is good in the world that is Best Buy…I still have my job there, I get to see Lisa, and the other employee gets to work with her boyfriend that has to be at work that Wednesday anyways.

Wow, I can’t believe that it is already March ’08. My birthday is in 22 days (not counting today). I’ll be super old too, like 23. I might as well start looking for a retirement home now, anyone have any recommendations?

March is such an awesome month; its theme color (Green) is my favorite color. I think the only month that comes close to March for coolness is September. I mean, Ron Howard (1st), Catherine O’Hara (4th), Michael Powley (9th), William H, Macy (13th), Michael Caine (14th), Rob Lowe (17th), Luc Besson (18th), Glenn Close (19th), Bruce Willis (19th), Spike Lee (20th), Gary Oldman (21st), Matthew Broderick (21st), William Shatner (22nd), Alan Arkin (26th), James Caan (26th), Anthony Mehner (27th), Quinten Tatantino (27th), Vince Vaughn (28th), Ewan McGregor (31st), and Christopher Walken (31st) all share a March Birthday so it has to be a pretty freaking sweet month, right? Yes.

Until next time everyone…be safe and all that good stuff ;)
