Getting ready to go into work for my last shift at Wally world. While the job and shift suck, the people have been really good to me, and I will miss them. There are some real and honest folks there, of the type I have not really encountered in the workforce before. People who work for next to nothing and don't complain about it. They work hard day in and day out, and just persevere. One gentleman, originally from India, has worked the graveyard shift at WalMart for 11 years, and I've never heard a complaint from him. He always has a smile for everyone, and is the hardest worker I've ever had the privilege to try to keep up with. While working there has seemed like a big step down for me, it has also been a humbling experience that I have learned a great deal from. I will leave with some great lessons and a renewed respect for people with a strong work ethic.

Had a nice farewell conversation with my manager at Wally world. They really did make me feel welcome. Went to Home Depot and bought a new tool belt and basic hand tools to fill it. It's so crisp and new! Started packing clothes and stuff. Not quite as stripped down a move as from Texas to here, but still traveling pretty light. I will leave my bed and night stands (my only furniture) here until I find a permanent place to call home. Susie is worried, because she thinks packing a suitcase means I'm leaving without her. Going to go cheer her up at the dog park now. Trying to stay awake and get back to a regular schedule, where people actually sleep at night. Feeling pretty good!

^ I definitely approve of Chez Harvey. Great chefs, who are quite personable and don't stint the wine.

I will most likely be in. I also hope the hotel is an upgrade since last year the most fun was when they evacuated the upper floors because they thought the hotel was on fire.... But it was a good weekend and people should come to hear Uber Systems and drink with us.

I don't know why that makes me laugh so hard, but it does. Want! :
