    So thankful to be doing my weekend "chore" -- helping at a big beer festival in the mountains with lots of festive, fun people, in a park by a river shaded by giant cottonwoods. I needed some unfettered fun and celebration to break the cycle of worry my life's been stuck in lately.

    Thank you for the kind words. It was very sudden so I think many of his friends and family are still in shock.

    And I'm grateful today for a nice stack of books--all different kinds--to read and for the world-class library system they came from.

    I can imagine that everyone is still in shock. I think it is much harder on everyone in many ways when it a sudden death.

    Today at the 6:30am all-store meeting I got to spin the roulette wheel for a prize because I got a 100% score from a mystery shopper sometime in the last two weeks. I won a $75 gift card from Wholefoods ~ that's more than half a month's of groceries for me!

    SQ, dare I say that WF already has treated you better than your old place?

    No question about it that it's way better than the old place (except my hourly pay)! There are lots of little incentives they throw around like this. The teamwork mentality is really important there because if the whole team rises above and makes their goals, everyone wins monetarily in a profit-sharing type of thing every quarter, hence, you don't want to ever be the slouch on the team.
