Quick Update

In about 45 minutes, I'll be heading off to work and giving notice. Again. This time, no matter what, I am done with the bakery. It won't be a two-week notice; more like barely a week. The cafe manager wants everyone there October 1st so we can all practice what we are supposed to do for a couple days, then we open for real on October 6th. The job is supposed to be full time, five days a week. The cafe is closed on Sunday, so I'll have at least one day off with Debbie every week, and I'll also get the occasional Saturday. Plus, the hourly rate is at least the same as I get now if not slightly better. Of course the best benefit is not working for a neurotic female.

Here's a quote for the day. It was from the McCain election staff, but it could have been uttered by any politician or their handlers:
To the extent that the comments of members of our staff are misinterpreted, they shouldn't be read into as anything otherwise.

Moral defectives. Every. Last. One.

The market is currently in slightly negative territory, but doing a lot of bouncing around. Today is the tipping point, IMO. Meanwhile, the Treasury department is still trying to convince the market that $700 billion > $4 trillion. For some reason, no one is buying it.

Well, gotta get ready for work.

Good morning Ric - Congrats on the new job - see things do look up don't they?
Are you going to have my special on your menu? Grilled sourdough/turkey/cheddar cheese sandwich with lots of pickles on the side? Maybe I'll have to come out and have one :)
CONGRATS again - and too bad Debbie won't have to have that walk up the hill anymore.
I see she really is enjoying her KOEGELS !!!

LOVE, Mom
