The SNL Black Jeopardy with Chadwick Boseman has to be one the funniest things I’ve watched in several years.

When the YouVersion Bible app asks “are you enjoying the Bible?” It hits different then when some dumb game asks it.

Friendly little tip, Panama City Beach is considerably less fun when it hits 32degrees.

So is that the temp when the iguanas fall out of the trees or is that some other town down if Florida?

New eatery on my list. AL's Burger and Chicken in Albert Lea Mn near the Walmart. Crispy fries sort of like the ones they serve at West Towne Pub and a really good hand made patty for $7.25 tax add a drink for be $2 more. Not super fast but the hand make them as you order them. It's worth the stop if your looking for a above average burger at a good price. Also the serve onion rings but they aren't on the menu.

Had a burger the night before at the Green Mill and it was fine but double the price.

Not exactly sure.

If the tanks and tummies in Kiester MN is open still, swing through there for lunch. Fresh made and nice ma and pa shop.

Okay, question for all y'all...

The past three months at work have been tedious to say the least. Not just because it's the busy season...I don't think it's that. I can't pinpoint what exactly is the root of my discontent/anxiousness, but part of it is my pay. I was hired at one particular amount, then had a LOT more responsibility put upon me, got a meager raise at the one year mark.

Anyway, fast forward to last week. There's a position open at a different location, different than what I do now but using similar skills. As per usual norms for this company, I did let my direct boss know about applying, just a really quick "Hey, wanted to let you know, I'm applying for a position at [location]," and I have an interview set up for tomorrow.

We now jump to today. Second in command of my location comes into my office, says I've been doing a really good job, we appreciate you, etc., here's an 8.5% raise. Interesting, I think...I'll take it...but I'm still interviewing tomorrow.

We jump forward again. I'm asked to go to different location to help with end of month duties because they're really struggling getting someone that can do it properly. Head guy at this location is like the supervisor over both his and my location. So, he asks me if my manager had spoken to me about my wage changes. That threw me off my feet a bit, and then he said something like "Are you looking to stay?" I feel like I stammered and started going into something about how the hours are getting cumbersome, etc. (Which they are) We didn't get a chance to finish the conversation because someone came in about something, and the supe said "We'll talk about this later..." (we didn't)

ANYWAY! (Good lord this is long) They drop this raise on me, day before my interview, I'm not quite sure what this new position would pay. Might be awfully close to what I was just given today. I don't even know what advice I'm looking for...how do you pinpoint what makes you unhappy in a job? (I mostly like the job, and most of the people I work with)

Sorry for long rambly post.

So this post was made almost 2 1/2 months ago. (Seems ages ago)

Welp, tomorrow I start my new job at new location. Weekends off, basically 8-5 hours. (With what I've worked close to 3.5 years, I might make it 7-4 eventually) I've known since Valentine's Day, but didn't want to announce it until it was officially official.

So yay!

So happy for you! Plain old ordinary hours. You’ll love it ;)
