Warehouse 13 is precisely NOT where I used to work. (Note
the phrase “Use to work”) What a nice group of people who are getting the crap
kicked out of them.
Mid—States seemed
like a really nice place with some decent people who worked there, but
Mid—States was not a company all on its own.
They are a subsidiary of a larger company called Ches a peak.
(and yes there is a reason to not type their name correctly). The first reason is they are very protective
of their name and second they have some really big jerks working the mid
management team. I never thought a
company that big could get there making dumb decisions. Most likely there has been a turnover in some
level of management. I say this because a lot of the decisions being sent down
are every modern shortsighted and money hungry.
The best model for business, in my opinion, is to build customer loyalty
with great products and great customer service. To treat your customers with
contempt and to belittle your employees and think that is the way to motivate
and increase sales is insane. Since I do not want to be associated with this
kind of business model, I left.
With that rant done, let’s get on with the real world.
We have moved again! The house we were living in was sold
and we needed to find a new place. So in one weekend we packed everything we had out of storage packe it into the car and van and moved while volunteering at the Iron Thistle Fair.

| Scouts are helpful |

| Having your belongings in your cart,even for one weekend is kind of scarry. |
Now
we are back in the outskirts of Yukon staying with Scout Master Chuck and
family. It is a very nice place and very
comfortable. Oh did I mention it just went up on the market. Yeah it seems like we will just keep jumping
house to house helping people sell their homes.
The latest project to help the
sale along was fixing a window sill, while the tornado sirens were going off. I
know God has a plan and I trust that it is good and beneficial. It will be fun
to look back on this time of our life and map out the road that God has us on.
To understand why we were in certain places at certain times and to see how God
worked through our situation.
So what are we doing instead of working? Well looking for
work is a top concern, but there is so much more. Bobby and Jordie got married at the Myriad
Gardens.
The wedding was wonderful and they took off a week later for a
honeymoon in So. California. Linda and I
have been helping Chuck prep the house for sale.
Joshua and Steven went off to his Ordeal
for the Order of the Arrow.
Troop 300 celebrated
a new Eagle Scout.
I got to put a team
together to go receive a Cub Scout who bridged into Boy Scouts.
Karate, Church,
Family time and Sleep round out the rest of the time.
Oh and just for fun we picked up the newlyweds from the
airport in a hail storm.
We had to make
a few pit stops to avoid the bigger Hail. (I don't eat McDonalds and we didn't need gas, but the cover kept the hail off the car).
Life is not setteled yet, but it is interesting.
