I got a 3% raise and I am finally getting paid for my travel. Lots of nice compliments. My rating was extraordinary across the board.

That's awesome! My last review was excellent, high ratings, great comments, then they said "if we were doing merit based raises, you would get one".

I just looked at them. I've been here over 5 years now, and we've not gotten the first merit based raise, only "cost of living" which didn't cover the cost of living.

I appreciate all you do for your community! It sounds like a lot of people respect you and you care about their best interest. I hope they give you the raise you deserve the next go around.

Trying to find basketball coaches is stressing me out. I had some from last year wanting to coach again, but they acted like A-holes most of the season and I don't want to deal with them. Now I'm trying to find replacements. I started with parents that always complain about their kid's coach, they all gave the basic "I don't have time" response. I told each of them, don't complain once about the coach since you were given the opportunity to do it.

Mr JD has his certification test this weekend. I am very nervous about it for some reason. He is studious and intelligent. He should be fine.

My co-worker just picked up the 2 cases of Pokemon cards I ordered for him. I only charged him what I had to pay because he's a good guy. Usually I charge 15-20% to find stuff for people.

After opening all the NASCAR stuff, I think I might get back to sending some TTM's off. Seems like a lot of these guys sign. I have a list of 10 right now that I know I pulled cards of. Might send them off, and get any returns slabbed by PSA/DNA.

Had dinner and now the kids are doing homework. The cat is sleeping next to me. The darkness is making me tired.

We had a game where every single snap took place between the 50 yard line and the 10 yard line on 1 side of the field for 4 quarters. The only time a team got inside the 10 was a touchdown run with 17 seconds left to win 6-0.

I had never seen that before

Good defenses or bad offenses.

10U football on the first night we’ve had under 50 degrees. Cold hands = fumble city.

My friend text me from her daughter’s phone to let me know that her phone stopped turning on. It had been freezing all the time and not getting messages in a timely manner, but now it won’t do anything. I’d been telling her for weeks to let me take her to get a new phone. She kept saying she didn’t need 1, that she’d make do, that a phone is to expensive. I told her tonight I’m brining her cash in the morning to go get a phone. I asked her if X amount was enough for a phone she’d use and she said that was way to much for what she needed. So she’s getting a new phone tomorrow when she goes to lunch. As much as she has to go up and down the road to take her daughter to gymnastics, she needs a phone that is dependable 100% of the time.
