Hi

I'm back!!!!! Not that too many ppl missed me i'm sure but that's ok. I do like communicating with myself. I now have high speed internet service from Rogers. It's wicked! I also purchased another cell phone!!! Like I need another cell phone bill. I don't even remember my new cell number! I've been very busy as usual. Heading to Wpg again next week for meetings. Lucky me. anybody need anything? Let me know asap. not much else to blog about really. it's feeling alot more like spring this week. Last week we had a crazy snow storm of sorts. Shits loads of snow fell overnight. it was sickening. Cheryl please give me a call because i do not have your phone #! I need to go do something else right now. Later!

Guess which one is actually me?

In my younger days! Picture of me , my brother and cousin! I get a kick out of looking at this picture once in awhile, because in my head i still look the same!!!! LMFAO!

See ya Later!

Well Cheryl left today! On her way to Fort Smitty in the NWT. Wow, where did the last 6 months go! It seems like yesterday when she walked into our store all full of wonder and excitment, probably thinking to herself-"what the heck have I got myself into" .  she graduated from her DMIT course with honors and left a huge void in our store and our lives as she heads toward another Northern Experience. I've never had any other transient DMIT/MIT who made such a positive impact in the store and  my personal life. It was refreshing to have someone to talk shop with after hours. Someone who really fucn understood me! That's rare in my retail world.Someone who really gets it! Someone who understands the power of communication. Someone who understand the importance of building a strong team of capable employees. Someone who clearly demonstrates one of our core principles-Passion-commits to doing great work! Finally someone else  who gets it! All  the best to you Cheryl. It was a great pleasure working with you and thank you  for being a part of our lives. Will miss your gourmet dinner parties and your gastronomical delights.  Keep her going girl!

Me n Cheryl

This me and Cheryl at Paint Lake back in December! We just got back from a refreshing walk around the lake in front of the cabin. You would think Andrea would have had a hot cup of hot chocolate waiting for us upon our return...Not!!!I thought the picture was kinda of cool. Feel free to comment on how handsome I look!  Enjoy.

I'm wireless again !

Well whatta you know! I set up my router agian, the one that I thought was a piece of shit?!?! Well now it's working just great. I'm no longer hard wired in my computer room. I'm sitting naked in my living room as I'm typing this blog post. Well not really naked, I'm wearing socks. I've had bad luck lately. Last night while talking to my parents , I went to go check up on my roast I was cooking in the oven. I took the roast out of the oven and my damn glass roasting dish exploded when i added some water to it. It freaked me out! This is starting to sound like Hendrik's Shit Bird Story isn't it? I don't mean it to but it sorta does. I was so looking forward to that roast last night. It was smelling very nice , I seasoned it with Montreal steak spice, i had veggies on the go and the works. I was really hoping to sink my teeth into some cooked roast beef. I couldn't believe how much it exploded. glass flew directly accross the kitchen, pieces of glass was even found in the living room. It was everywhere. I cursed as i took the roast and threw in the garbage. I was a bit tempted to eat the fucn thing but was afraid I'd get a bleeding areshole the next day. And today after work, I lost my blackberry. I love my new cell phone! I was panicking! I went to the store after getting off work ,twice before i found it in the markng room right where i left it. fuc i say to myself, what next???? Then this wireless idea came to my head after talking to Andrea on my new blackberry! My luck shifted to the better. My wireless router is working. I'm happier now, much happier. thank you Jesus!

Cyber Clean!

Ever heard of this product called Cyber Clean??? What a rip-off! It's a home and office -"High tech Cleaning Compound" that's supposed to deep clean electronic equipment. I picked it up in Thompson this past week-end. I found in the Canadian tire store sitting in this wonderful displayer on the sales floor. The displayer even had a video, playing an infomercial about the lousy shit! I was so excited to try it out on my Blackberry and my dirty old lap top. The product looks and feels like a glob of neon yellow goooo! The idea is to take this shit and simply press and pull and the dirt and grime from your equipment is to pull off onto this snotty goooo stuff. Well it does not do shit! If you see this product anywhere on your travels, give the displayer a good kick with your right foot , right up it's arse!
Thank -you!
Cyber Clean my Ass!

I"m Backkkkkkkkk!!!!!

I'm just getting back from our meetings in Wpg. Wow what a week! Really enjoyed the work shops and trade show. Our store received alot of recognition and awards. You really come back with a great feeling of success. Of all the things I'm proud of the most is Tyler's President's award for Learning. I can't express how proud I am of his achievement. Tyler is an incredible employee and an inspiring young man. There are days while at work I observe his interaction with staff, his merchandising skills, his knowledge of the business, his leadership skills, how he can remain calm and collective while under stress and his ability to get the job done, just amazes me to no end.  He is certainly a role model for others in the community and I wish him nothing but the best going forward. Thank you Tyler for doing what you do each and every day! Other store achievements included getting in the the top ten of 3 categories, food sales improvement, Gm Sales improvement and Store Contibution, more than any other sotre in our group. How about that eh???? We won Bronze for Gm sales improvement and still waiting for Year end results on the Contribution category. With that being said, I'm also very proud of Cindy and her team. Wow what a year for GM sales and I can't wait to present the award. We rock!!!!! Cindy and her team work hard each and every day takin care of customers and staying in tune with day to day operations with the goal in mind to exceed targets. Much like her nephew Tyler, Cindy is an achiever and a great merchandiser. Her great sense of humor every day sets the mood in our store even while under pressure to meet deadlines and to keep on top of a million things that need to get done each and every single day. What a team, what a year ahead we have, we now must challenge ourselves even harder and aim higher more than ever. We can do it! I leave you with some inspiring words from our VP- " If not You, Who? If not Now, When?
