Watching that Lords of Karma vid makes me miss the dimpled one. lol! Joe's band is always fun to watch, but that was a good bunch of guys! Joe just effin kills it on that song too!

Jayzus, Joseph, and Mary-Loo Hoo!!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! I love that guy!! lol!

Pip, my head is still like a balloon, it's just 5lbs heavier. lol! My hubs has a nasty cold, and I'm trying hard not to get it. I think I'm 3 pages behind, which I'm catching up to now, but I'm pretty much out of the loop. I missed the webcast and all the good stuff this week.

Don, we have the same thing. Our fitting rooms sometimes seem to have more merch in them than the racks in the store. lol! I say F it. We can only do what we can do. With people having days off, and the short staff we have, what are we supposed to do? My favorite thing is when the girls stand there and list all the things they have to do and waste 20 minutes talking about it instead of DOING it. We have 2 that do that constantly. I had one of those girls tell me to calm down the other day. We were in a frenzy trying to get 2 sale tents filled before 9 a.m. The place was tore up from the day before, and had huge empty spots in it - and WE had to fill it. She was moving like molasses in the winter, and she just couldn't get her head around the job at hand. She was going to undo what we had just did. She was pretty much totally useless to the team, and she needed to just go away. lol! The dept head saw what was going on, came over, and told her to go do something else. lol! Nothing like working up a sweat before the store even opens. LOL! Did I mention I have a few days off this week. Thank you Jesus!!!!!

Glitz, my mom & pop are holding steady. I have to call her today to check in on them. We're going to get a nasty storm, so I want to make sure they're aware it's coming and they're prepared. Happy holidays to you too!

Peas Lily, lol! It really is retail hell. lol! I think a lot of people have the attitude that we get paid to pick up after their bad behavior. I got so pissed the other day when I saw a woman pick up a slip, look at it, then throw it over the rack. It had a hanger on it ffs! Wy not just REHANG it! It took more energy for her to throw it than it would of just to put it back the way she got it. I just can't wrap my head around stuff like that. I often wonder what these people's homes look like. Do they do the same thing there? Anyways, thanks for thinking of us. lol! I do like my job because it's warehouse & store, but sometimes I spend my days asking "Lawd, gimme strenff!" lol!

Let's dance!

I love when it bumps into PC pt II at 2:10 :-)

Blue Moon - agreed, the legato looks insanely mental.

My" Satriani Live" arrived today...happy- happy -joy- joy.. !!! :-)

still buzzing from the Gary Hoey show sooo thought I'd share 2 early Christmas treats for my fellow T2Jers:

FIRST.... Christmas style: Carol of the Bells

SECOND.... preview of new song 'utopia' from Gary's forthcoming CD: Utopia

Rock on! ImI

Peace Lily: I do try to get some rest in between. Earlier today, I took a small nap (after work was done this morning). As of right now, the next two days, I work at six in the morning in the restaurant (at Marriott), which will be my first time working in that department. I try to balance everything out with work at Holiday Inn, the guitar store, and Marriott. I also let the staff at each place know (in advance) on what days I prefer to work and when I'm available. They all know that running is a passion of mine. Hope you enjoy your, "Satriani Live". Happy Holidays!

Cheese101: That's great news that your Dad is doing well. Please give him my best. Happy Holidays again!

Glitz Man:- Do you know a fellow runner named Nelson Aspen?

Hey all!

btw cheers for the Gary Hoey tracks! and im sooo jealous you're going to see him!

Im MORE jealous of all you guys who saw Chickenfoot!! I didnt make it to the one England show but rest assured i will not miss his next tour with the new instrumental album!! which i cannot wait for!!!!

Good Afternoon Satchland.... How Is Everyone?

Just stoppin' in to say Hi...... Hi

Glitz Man :- I don't know how well known he is in your parts but he does a daily Hollywood/Celebrity News report segment on one of our regular Aussie morning shows(Sunrise) and he often mentions when he has a running event coming up, so just thought you may have crossed paths. Anyway,great to hear your doing well with your work schedule and still be able to compete. What's next for you?

see al, you ARE a douche!

Fatape: Well Craig, I'll probably have to look back at all the races I have done for the past number of years. I don't think I have ever met Nelson Aspen. Thanks for the info. As for running, there are a couple of races coming up soon. One of them is a 5K while the other is a 50K (kind of like an ultramarathon). I'm thinking of doing them both, but it depends on my work schedules.

Speaking of work, I have work the next two days at six in the morning at my new/recent job (in the restaurant). It's a challenge to handle three jobs & still run, but I try to make things organized so it will work out smoothly.

Another challenge for me is the weather. Right now, it's snowing and we also have a Winter Weather Advisory along with a Wind Advisory. It's not easy driving and being out in this kind of weather, but that's part of life I guess.
