My Sears supervisor rocks - Purple Passion- JournalHome.com

At a meeting for cashiers on Monday morning, I learned that nobody, but nobody, is supposed to get time off around Black Friday. That would have seriously ruined my plans to go to WI for Thanksgiving for the first time in seven years. But I asked my supervisor about it privately after the meeting, and he said it wouldn't be a problem, I could have the time off. It would just remain between us, keep it hush-hush, etc. That was extremely nice of him. I told him I would bring him back some cheese from Wisconsin.

He was also nice enough to bring tea and cake to the early-morning meeting, to make it a little easier to swallow. He announced at the meeting that he is on Facebook, so since I'm also on Facebook, I sent him a message asking if we were allowed to Friend him. He hasn't answered. I don't know whether he's not a big Net/Facebook guy and just hasn't gotten the message yet, or whether he's just ignoring me. In any event, I'll pin him down on Sunday when I see him, if I haven't heard back from him by then.

I'm pretty happy with my fantasy football team. I got Ryan Grant and Donald Driver from the Packers, along with kicker Mason Crosby. I also got Terrell Owens and Hines Ward. One of my fellow league members wanted to get T.O. in a trade, but no way was I giving him up. I've made a couple of trades, one to get rid of a WR I didn't want, and I got one who will hopefully be better. The other trade was to try to solve a RB dilemma - I had two out of three with the same bye date, so that means on that day I would only have one RB available sted of two. So I got one who has a different bye date, and I think he will be a better RB than the one I traded away anyway.

Football season starts tomorrow. Yay!
