Busy But Doing Fine

Having two young cats in the apartment has been a bit of a learning curve for both kitties and owners, but we're all doing okay. Jules and Cali have come to a tentative sisterly agreement that they'll keep each other company, share the food dish, and take turns being the Occasional Annoying Sibling. Nothing is broken, scratched, fallen over or destroyed (yet) so that's a good sign. The fosters did a great job teaching them!

It's also Q4 time again, so the Day Job has seen an uptick of customer flow. From what I hear from the managers, we're doing amazingly well for a small store (we're half the size of most others) and our neighborhood loves us. Sure, we get the occasional Grumpy Gus that finds fault in the smallest things but they're very much in the minority. And our shoplifting issue has lessened considerably since we started hiring security! And as I mentioned at the writing blog, our bosses frown on forced overtime thanks to our union, so it's not as if I'm getting my ass handed to me on a ten-hour shift like I used to at Yankee. Props to the head manager as well for doing a great job with the scheduling as well! We'll still have the occasional short-staffed day, but those are increasingly few and far between as we hire more workers.

I'm trying to get caught up with my writing duties today and doing a pretty good job of it, so I can't complain!
