    After an unscheduled break...

     

    Hi everyone! I have missed you all so much! I have had no internet and fuzzy cable since mid August. We had to wait three weeks before we could even get a serviceman here and even then grrrr.....he didn't knock, he didn't ring the bell or anything! He just stuck a notice over the doorknob saying he was here! The kids and I were all home at the time he came, and then we had to wait weeks more for a NEW service appointment because it was "to late for him to come back"!! Ummm...hello??? Two in the afternoon is to late??? Grrrr....but yay it's all fixed now and we have a nice credit on our bill :) I'm trying to get around to see you all, but it's taking me some time as I have alot to catch up on everywhere I visit :)

    What's new here? The kids are back in school (yay!!) and Elizabeth had her first birthday! Everyone came over and we had hotdogs and cake. Of course, Elizabeth didn't care about what she got, she just wanted to run and play with the big kids. When I get some pics I will put them up. She cut her top two front teeth at the same time just like her bottom two, and she's currently cutting the two teeth beside the top two now.

    Me? I went back to work on the 2nd and wow! When I came home my feet, legs and back were killing me! It's been a year since I had to stand somewhere for so long and move so fast serving customers, but hey, at least it's only on the weekends.....and I got raise too! :) But I had to laugh at my boss on the second day when I closed the store. He came in to give me a ride home and he looks around in amazement and says "The floors look fantastic!" on the phone to his wife and then to me as well. I looked at him and laughed and said "Uhhh....all I did was sweep and mop!" He said "Oh if you only knew how (leave out co-workers name) has been leaving the store at night." His wife and I laughed about it last weekend when she came in. She told me he was talking to her about the floors when he pulled up to the store and saw me putting the mop away. So she said to him on the phone "Geez if I had known that cleaning the floors made you so happy, I'd be doing them everyday!" So yeah my boss is happy I'm back because the store is getting clean again. Even the co-worker who-doesn't-clean-the-floor-very-well is happy i'm back. His comment was "Sherri's back so things will get back to normal now." He just means there is not so many dishes for him to wash when he gets to work.

    Hi Sherri:
    I feel for you.  I worked for a company in Canada, which contracted for a cable company in the states and it was really hard for us to understand why people had such a hard time getting service.
    We had many calls just like yours and did everything we could to get the service guys back on time, but to no avail.  It is no wonder why so many of us were nervous wrecks.
     
    In the end, I just signed them up for free service for a month plus free repair calls.
     
    Then I quit.
    Doesn't say much for that company.
     
    However, in Nova Scotia, when we call for service, the guys are almost always there on time.  But the company has their own workers and do not contract out service calls.
     
    Anyway, Glad you are back.

    Hi Sherri!!
     
    I'm so glad you're back!!!  May I ask why you took a year off of work?  Was it to be with your daughter?
     
    Um, might sound like a weird question, but did you send me an e-mail?  I got something from someone named Sherry and you are the only one I know...let me know when you can?  If it's you, I will respond!
     
    WELCOME BACK!!
