Copper Creek Chit Chat, Part #4
Afternoon ladies. It's been.... well... a carpy week. Last Thursday, I got laid off. The company announced that the second round of layoffs were coming, but no one that I know of knew my position was being looked at. I was part of a 900+ reduction in force. So now, I'm playing Mr Mom...- efirdj

Time to leave! Haircut. MUCH needed haircut. Then home to get kids. Then to the gym. I did find out today that I'm not working a game tomorrow, but Melanie has an away game almost an hour drive. Thankfully, it's at 7:30, so it wont be a mad rush to get there after work. That's almost a...- efirdj

Uh oh... I'm starting to think red beans for lunch may not have been the best idea on "leg day" at the gym.... :shock:- efirdj

I'm just not going to say more. As the only guy around here, I know when to cut my losses. :D I really dont feel like doing anything else for the rest of the day. But I still have an hour and 45 minutes to go. Blech.- efirdj

Not liking that... We have similar problems with UPS at work. We had a package last week that was marked "refused delivery" before they had even shown up. Monday, they tried to deliver an empty box that shouldve been 13 pounds. We never had these problems when we used FedEx. Hit the nail on...- efirdj

And good morning all. I slept so good last night. Mrs E said she doesnt think I moved at all. After the gym Monday, re-stacking somewhere around 4k-5k pounds of batteries, then three hours on the ball fields, I couldnt imagine why I slept so well. Im just glad I didnt do arms at the gym...- efirdj

Time to get out of here, get home, change into those spiffy umpire clothes, grab Melanie and dash back out the door to get her to her game. The fun life of parenting active kids! Y'all have a good evening!- efirdj

My brother is home from Afghanistan for three weeks. He came in last week, and I havent seen him yet. And mom leaves today to go back to her ship. I'm not sure where she's going this time. Either the Gulf of Mexico or off the coast of Trinidad/Tobago again. I think.- efirdj

Good morning all! FV....I dont know if I should be laughing or crying. Well, Kat's foot is out of the boot. The doc didnt even re-xray. She's to ease back into sports and see how it goes. If it hurts again, the boot goes back on for a week, with no need to have it reexamined. So, she'll...- efirdj

Time to go home. Kat's at the doc right now getting her foot checked out. I'll update y'all on it in the morning. I just filled out my availability for the umpire thing. I've got it worded so I can work/watch half of Melanie's games. Unfortunately, every softball night conflicts with Kat's...- efirdj

Good morning all and "Happy" Monday. Holy monkey butts. It is cold. We officially hit a record low this morning. 46. We went from lows in the upper 70's and highs in the low 90's to FORTY SIX DEGREES IN TWO DAYS. The GOOD part of that kind of drastic change is the fact high's are supposed...- efirdj

Afternoon everyone! Had a busy morning. I finally got that tree cut up and loaded in the truck. Readjusted the mower deck, so it now cuts level. Mowed the yard. And now...nothing but football! The weather is unbelievably perfect. Temps are 70, nice breeze, sunny skies. Perfect. Perfect...- efirdj

Howdy folks! Been a good day today. Slept in. Made the kids clean. Cool temps with the house opened up. Took a nap. And Mrs E had to ruin it by a Wal-Mart trip. I got more protein shake mix and fiber. A new one gal gas can so I can mix some gas for my chainsaw and finally get that...- efirdj

You crazy ladies and your exciting mops. :blink: Been crazy busy here. I cant understand how this company managed without people doing what I do. They have stuff come in for one project in 8 boxes that come in across a three week timeframe, or theyll have four or five projects come in in 12...- efirdj

Good morning everyone! Supposed to be a decent day here, too. Still a bit warm at almost 90. I wouldve ridden the bike today, but it's Friday. Ive found that Friday traffic is not a fun way to spend time on the bike. I dont know why Friday traffic is so much worse than the rest of the week...- efirdj
