Well, there's appearently not anything for us to do here at work, so Rob said we have a free day. Don't know whether I can handle that. Slow days with nothing to do aren't any fun. It'd be better if we had some sort of little project to tackle.
As of 2:30pm, our sales are at nearly $450. Not much, but decent.
This will probably be a really long day.
So, what all can I tell you, since I have ample time?
I will be needing to find another job (either in addition to my current, or just a total replacement). Our hours are going to be slimmed down (the employee hours, not store hours). Diane (owner-to-be) told us that because of the expense of this business transfer, she will be unable to support paying all of us for the hours that we have become accustomed to (which, really aren't that many, like 30 hours a week). So, Diane and her hubby, Mark, will be manning the store for most of the time, so that "free" labor will save expenses.
I need to get another job anyway. Something with health benefits for my family.
Sorry, I failed to mention that. I am married (just recently, actually, January 6th, to be precise). Diana, my beloved wife, and I are expecting the arrival of our son, Taron, in February. (I know, if you do the math, which is so obviously easy, you'll find that we've actually been together for quite a bit longer than the period we have been married.)
I really don't know how to tell you about Diana. Everything I would say would be so tightly wrapped in loving emotion, and I have a very difficult time trying to convey feelings in writing. Perhaps, instead, I may offer you a little bit of insight into her character by giving you this link[1].

I keep glancing towards the front of the store, expecting a customer to arrive. Oops, spoke too soon.
