Happy Friday!

Yep - two days off. Ready for the HOT - HOT - HOT weekend. Better clean the pool. I plan on being there a lot.

Get to pick up my son from the airport today, he has been gone a week - Went to the Bahamas, lucky kid! He said he drank a lot, the legal age there is 18 or 19, but who checks? Spent everyday at the beach - ah - what a life. He went with his cousins and his aunt. His words "I had the time of my life!" well he is only 20. Can't wait to see him.

Things have calmed down at work - at least in my departments. There are still a couple of departments that need to cut-backs or lay-offs, the longer they wait the worse it will get - the pressure from doing the nasty task and then you have the pressure from the VP's.

Gas - hate it - why do we have to put it in our vehicles? Sam's Club is at $4.19 gallon this morning. If we can solve that problem then most of the economy will straighten up, that's my 2 cents.

Social Butterfly

Take this test!
You've got people smarts! Social intelligence refers to the ability to read other people and react appropriately. As a result, you probably have a pretty keen sense of others' motivations most of the time. It's likely that you can also spot the difference between what people say and what they really mean.

This understanding of behavior and human nature can help you go far. After all, it's been said that it's not what you know, but who you know that counts. And you have a way with people. Your social intelligence may manifest as having the gift for gab, being a top-notch networker, or an excellent listener and friend. However you put this intelligence to work, you're sure to be admired for an abundance of social know-how.

Work

Work is rough. The casino business has seen a huge decline since the beginning of the year, this is followed by a record year. Went from a high to a low.

So what do you do? You have to lay people off from work.

Everyday employees have been walking on eggshells. Who is next? Will it be me? Am I valuable? Do I do a good job?

The worst part of my job is employee evaluations, consultations and lay-offs or terminations.

Business will turn around, we are continuing with a $25 million renovation, but tightening up on every other expense, including payroll.

If you could fix the gas problem - a lot of other problems would melt away. I am doing everything I can think of to get people in. Free rooms alone will not do it. Gas cards? Free food? Free play?

Seriously

Take this test!
Maybe you're sometimes misunderstood like your Grey's Anatomy match Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, but it doesn't take long for people to recognize your good heart and your better intentions. From your love life to your work life to your social life, you have a natural prowess when it comes to rising to the top, even if it's a bumpy road on the way up.



No matter what, you're committed to being honest (at least most of the time!), and that always helps you land in others' good graces. Way to go!

I won!

Thanks Ginger for picking me! So excited - so happy! Doing the happy dance.

Went to a crop on Saturday - got to Molli and Danielle for a tad bit - Holly stayed the entire time. Here I was cleaning up at the end of the evening and Ginger says "Debbie" - well I thought it was someone else - she never calls me by my name. So she must of realized it and said "Mum, you won!"

Drum roll please... Revolution, tabletop Die-Cutting system - it is in the cutest case.

I also achieved seven completed LO's.

Girls night out - yep this Friday, M & M. Mojitos and a Movie. Better check the movie times.
