Can't wait to see how things unfold. I only wish the George family would purchase HT, but I doubt the funds are there. You'd think after selling MDI they would be cash rich.
Publix has been Spider-Webbing for a while and my relatives in the Queen City cannot wait for a local Publix to open.
Something about grocery store logistics and sales fascinates me. Yup, I'm a dork, but the retail savvy of selling mostly perishable goods for a profit with a crap ton of overhead puts the gerbil on my wheel.
traffic is crap. I had an extra work load dumped on me so I've been having to drive about 70 miles a day on top of my normal sometimes crazy amount of driving and it's really starting to get to me. After you get out of the city freeway loop the speed limit kicks up to 65 and just doing the speed limit I have been just blowing past cars. I don't get why everyone is driving so slow.
And to top it all off I'm stuck out in a burb and have to drive back into town during rush hour by myself. Is it weird that I want to kidnap someone just so I can hop in the carpool lane back to the city?
Smile - Just closed a giant deal for one of my reps, sick as a dog, laying on the couch at my house. So there is an exceptionally good chance I will win an ipad 3 in our sales contest
Ticked - sick as a dog...

Well on the upside, it means you might get to spend tomorrow at home playing System Shock 2 on GOG.

Nope. Horseshoes and hand-grenades.
Yeah, being with a Suicide Girl is much more impressive than an SI model. It shows you have better taste.
I was friends with a Suicide Girl. We went to clubs a lot, when I moved we kept in touch and she sent me topless pictures, but nothing ever happened between us. She was dating the lead singer from Soul Coughing back when we lived in the same city, so I didn't have much of a chance then.
I worked in a grocery store for 13 years and I learned to hate Publix. We get a lot of tourists from Florida in the summer and every time they didn't like something (prices, store policy, whatever), they would always, ALWAYS say "well at Publix..." and I just wanted to slap them and scream "We are NOT Publix!". Of course, we weren't allowed to do that, we weren't even allowed to say it politely, but boy it sure would have been nice when you heard it for the hunderedth time.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

My girlfriend works at a Winn Dixie and she's always complaining about people doing that. haha

I got that speech several times from customers at Walmart, except the store they'd compare us to would usually be Best Buy or Target. I wasn't afraid to inform them that Walmart is Walmart, not some other store.
