Hi All,
Well I have been way to busy to post, I had to lay off 15 employees and I did find most of them jobs within the county. we are somewhat still busy and I have to pick up the slack. so I am doing my job and a plans examiner job and an inspectors job all at the same time.
My Bus is painted :) my camera got stolen :(, I bid on the same camera on e-bay and won :) I will be taking pics this weekend and posting them. We are putting the windows back in the bus this weekend... code enforcement said we have to many busses ... sold 2 last week for 1000 each paid for all the busses we just got so we have 2 free busses :)

George,
I an sorry I didn`t call you when you left the voice mail I deletedit and just forgot... I will give you a call this week :)

Tommy
I didn`t mean to cut you short and got to busy to call you back I was in the middle of shooting another coat of paint on my bus and couldn`t stop..but I will call you when I have time to talk.

Sheree....
Well did you get the job??????

Dan,
Are you a daddy yet?????

Hope all is well with everyone

Just a quick hello tonight. Greg and I just got back from Norwalk, OH, which is where the lovely Norwalk Virus began. Greg's boss at the school had a party and we ended up there for a few hours tonight. On a Norwalk virus note, our skilled nursing floor has an outbreak of it right now, and the patients are quarantined. (No idea if that is how you spell it!) That's 4 floors above my office, so I am hoping they keep their air!

No news on the job. It is very frustrating. My second interview was 2 weeks ago today. One week ago they interviewed the last candidate. On Monday, we were hit with a surprise accreditation meeting (known as Joint Commission for anyone who has worked in healthcare) and every meeting, and every project stopped because we had to prove to this agency that we are running our hospital properly. So....no news on the job either. I am hoping I'll hear something this week. I've been coveringt the director's job for 6 weeks now - this will be my 7th coming up. It is taking sooooooooo looooooooooong!

Jim - sounds like you could quit your job and redo VW busses for a living. It's probably less stressful than conducting the layoffs.

George - I've been wondering about your battle with Expedia. Keep us posted.

Tommy and Regina - get back to posting, would you?

Barb - hope mom is doing better.

Orlando girls - hope you aren't posting because business is keeping you too busy! (Sneak in a post this weekend, would you?)

Dan - baby? I am sure that would explain why you haven't posted for a while. Good reason.

Ok - off to bed. Sheree

Good afternoon all,

Jim, good to hear from you. We are eliminating 234 positions in my department. Things aren't good!

Sheree, I know a few folks back there that could speed things up for you...just say the word :D

This week is spring break for Arrielle. We just booked a one nighter on the Queen Mary and also going to the Long Beach Aquarium. I'm really looking forward to the Queen Mary stay, I'm a huge history buff. I'll be sure to take many photos.

Very nice, Jim! :)

Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone. The absence rate at work today will be crazy - and they'll probably all be well enough to go the parade - imagine that!

Here's hoping I hear job news this week......

Hi everyone,

Dan, congrats on Zoey and Happy Birthday to you!!!!!! What an awesome birthday gift......

Sheree, everything is good here, we are up and running in the new location and its working well. Some adjustments for such a small space, I told Dee if we gain one more pound we might be in trouble..lololololol I will keep praying for your promo but lets face it, you've been doing the job so long now how could they possibly replace you.......

George, what a nightmare with Expedia, who'd of thought that, Good luck with the refund..

George & Sheree, give us your days and times in orlando so we can coordinate. I know sheree is coming to the store, george were you going to bring anne and arrielle to the store as well? Maybe we can all meet at the store and do dinner from there. Saturday we are coming to the hotel to hang with the whole gang.


Jim, love the red and white bus, fantastic. congrats on the sale, this is a nice little side business doing something you love.....Only one question, how dare code enforcement say something to you when your neighbor accross the street has all that crap in his carport....lol I saw it in the photos you took..

Barb, how is everything?
Regina, Tommy will we see you at Lake Eola?

Good evening all,

Cris, hope all is going well with the down-sizing...if only I could get Anne to agree to a down-sizing of her closet / shoes / wardrobe / shoes / purses / belts/etc.... (hopefully the next page will get started soon)! And yes, the girls wouldn't miss an opportunity to come to the store. Whatever everyone wants to do after is fine with us. Sheree had mentioned a place...something, something Ale house? It's funny the things we recall :)-D

For an update on Expedia...BBB wasn't much help, but then again what can be expected from an organizational board that is comprised of it's members...pretty much self policed. Rebuttals went back and forth, but BBB did nothing in the form of moderating, or offering a solution. Expedia pretty much assumed we had no recourse and they were quite arrogant in stating such. Unfortunately for Expedia, they weren't aware of the consumer fraud complaints I filed with both the AZ and WA Attorney General offices...but they are now! Needless to say I got 2 phone calls and 3 emails from an Expedia corporate Exec...on Sunday! The credit for the full amount showed up on my credit card yesterday. It's always so nice when to parties can come together and resolve matters in a civil tone :D

So George - is that a credit for the reticketing fees, or a credit for the tickets and you have to find airfare again?

I'll post more tomorrow - I am off for a 4 day weekend. No job news. Cris - I'll try to call you guys tomorrow when I am off - it seems like it's been forever since we talked.

Hope everyone else is well. Sorry for the short post - I have an early meeting at work and need to leave asap.

Good Morning Cats,

Mom is hanging in there. She still enjoys shopping, but in the wheelchair now. I have a portable backpack oxygen and a big tank in the car. Continue to remember her in your prayers.

Dan and Courtney,
Congrats on the arrival of your newborn daughter! Hope the family is in great health. Happy belated bday, Dan.

George,
Congrats on the refund. I love the power of words! Don't you have a cruise soon? Anne needs more things to replace last years wardrobe. Take her shopping with the refund.

Sheree,
I believe you will be rewarded this position. Any new OPI colors to boast about? Mom tried a great orange from the India collection. I tried a great red Caviar and something. Sorry guys.

Jim,
Sounds like your hobby is rewarding in more ways than one. Good for you!

Regina and Tommy,
Any plans Sunday?

Orlando Girls,
Glad to hear your business is doing well. Do you have a website?

Has anyone read books by Joel Olsteen? I have almost read his current book, Become a Better You and completely read Your Best Life Now. They are worth reading in my opinion.

HEY BARB, GLAD TO HEAR MOM IS STILL GETTING AROUND AND WHAT'S BETTER THAN SHOPPING!!!! OUR WEBSITE IS WWW.CRISDESS.COM

I LOVE JOEL OSTEEN, I THINK HIS MESSAGE OF LIVING POSITIVE IS REACHING MANY WHO WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED IN THE USUAL PREACHING FROM MINISTERS WHO'S MESSAGE IS LESS THAN INSPIRING. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS SUNDAY MORNING PROGRAM? iT REALLY IS GOOD.

SHEREE, WE WILL BE IN THE STORE FROM 10:30 AM TO 12:30 PM, IF YOU MISS US WE WILL BE IN THE STORE ON SATURDAY FROM 10:00 AM TO 2:00 PM.

GEORGE, SHEREE MUST OF MEANT THE ALE HOUSE, NOT SURE WHERE THERE IS ONE ON OUR SIDE OF TOWN, BUT I CAN LOOK IT UP IF THATS WHERE YOU GUYS WANT TO GO.

WELL I HAVE TO GET READY FOR THE DAY. HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!!!!!

DAN: Congrats!

Deck Diva: when is Lake Eola? I think I am at Duty Free convention in Fort Lauderdale that weekend if it is the one I think it is. First Weekend in April?

Barb: we are going to Brunch with my sisters family and then to dinner with Tom's family.Barb we keep you and your mom in our thoughts and prayers. my mom is a big Jeol Osteen fan. Watches him and reads his stuff alot.

Sheree: Email me your address again. I got you a little gift (nothing big) that I need to send to you so you can use on your deck this summer) look on the bright side with the job.... no news can sometimes mean good news. I am sure all will go in your favor.

Jim code enforcement actually said something to you imagine that. :) You know I love ya but if I were your neighbor I'd of called them on you with all that going on in your front yard. After all you can not operate a paint and body shop in your home. :) :) :) :) And that looks like what you are doing.



thats it for now.
