My Ring..

So turns out I lost a very important piece of paper, aka, my Diamond Bond. But I have all my other papers, like my LifeTime Warrenty, so they were able to look me up at the Zales in Salinas. But they misspelled my last name, so it was a little nerve wracking. Anywho, they are sending it out to a new place, cuz apparently they were having a ton of issues with their old diamond repairer. Yay.

The dealio is I was driving home from work, and I noticed the prong was broke and diamond gone. So this min I got home, I checked the car, and my pockets and the ground, and my apron. Not there. Went to work the next day, checked the floor, checked the sink, checked the dust pan, check the route to the dumpeter. It has successfully pulled a disappearing act. I was going to cry. I was thinking about it the other day, and I never banged, smashed, or whacked my hand that day, so there was no reason for the prong to break. So when they "tightened" all the prongs, they cracked one and didn't even notice. How lame right? Anywho, I get my ring back (again) in 4-6 weeks. My ring finger feels naked in the meantime. ...

It Broke!

Oh my freaking goodness, I lost 1 of the 3 large diamonds tonight at work somehow. I don't know where, or when, or how. I just know when I was driving home tonight, a diamond was gone. I just got my ring back like 3 weeks ago, getting prongs tightened and a smaller diamond replaced. But that didn't stop a prong from breaking off!! Gah!!! Luckily I have a LifeTime Protection Plan. Hopefully everything will work out. But... You never know. I am so frustrated and upset, I kinda wanna cry about this. Wish me luck.

My Promotion

Well, turns out that I did end up taking the offer of Assistant Manager. But with a few of my own conditions. Hehe. Mainly that I am the Assistant Manager at one store, but I continue working at my store. But I get all the perks of being the Assistant at the other store. I also found out that my current manager was fighting to keep me at my store. So I feel loved. <3 So I get a raise, the responsibility, and free food. Lol. But I am pretty excited about it. This is about all I got for now.

People We Overlook...

So last night while I was at work, I met an amazing man. No, I am not leaving or thinking about cheating on my husband. I have a customer that comes in quite frequently, and is always polite, but not overly talkative. Well, my trainee recognized him as his High School janitor. Well, through a series of comments on all our parts, he tells us a little about his life. From running away, taking his friends identity to be eligable to join the Marines 50+ years ago to try and change his life. (no joke, he paid someone $35 bucks to change the picture on the license...) He also told us of how he was a POW in Korea for 9 months. And the conditions (without going into details for my sake.) of how things were. And then Finally how the Turks came in, killed all the captors without a single shot, and saved them.

It really made me think about the people in your life. Going around, having this huge story, and you not knowing a single part of it. I can't even really put into words how talking to this man made me feel. All I can say, is you never know. Treat everyone with the respect that you wish you had for everything that you have gone through. Peace.

Promotion

No, it's not my promotion. But Seth put on his 2nd stripe Monday to make him officially A1C Curtis. Lol. His arms hurts like crazy, cuz in the military, whenever you tack on another stripe, you get punched hecka hard. No reason really, just a right of passage. It'll be nice to have his checks have a little extra.

This week is the UCI (aka, the Air Force is inspecting our base) and apparently it was seriously talked up, so they wouldn't slack off. But it's been obnoxious for me, cuz right now we are EXERCISE FPCON BRAVO so everyone is all uptight about everything and it takes me like 2o min to drive 5 miles to work... Mainly just trying to get off base. Lucky its over on Fri or Sat.

Some obnoxious things at my job are, 2 people quit this week. Yea. One was a girl I just finished training, and just kinda up and left town giving the manager 24 hour notice cuz I told her off. She was just gunna leave. RAAAGH!!! And the other girl actually gave 2 weeks notice, but she didn't show up for her last 2 days of work. Soo... guess who had to cover everyones shift.. I did!! Gah. I am so tired. I have worked like 10 days straight, and tomorrow is my first day off. And I am training a new kid, so I have been working only night shifts. I still haven't decided whether or not to take the promotion, I don't feel like I can right now because my store is so short handed. But I don't know on top of that. It's just all so confusing. Anyways, I have to go back to work to train the new kid. Ding, round 2!

Confused...

So, my first day back at work, and the re-reoffer me the Assistant Manager Job at the other Subway store. But she kinda sweetened the deal. Day shifts working with the other managers. A better-ish raise... Seth thinks that I should accept it, cuz it would mean totally free food for him and more money for us. Plus we'd get to see each other more. My only draw back is that I am always getting complaints about how the store employees aren't nice, and are disrespectful. But I am also being told by people, that I could change that. Be the example, ya know? But.... I don't know. It's tempting, but I like working at my store with my people. Anyone have any suggestions?

My Life For The Past Month

Sooo. It's been awhile. I know I have left you all in suspense on the happenings of the Curtis Family. It was for.... dramatic effect...yeah... But anyways, I was telling my mom, that my life is pretty boring, and doesn't change that much day to day. But. She says otherwise. So here you go.

Seth was schedualed to deploy in November, then that got moved to October, specifically our anniversary, and then, last weekend, his deployment got cancelled all together. But before we really has time to celebrate, he is also told that he might be put on the Afgan team in March. But no promises. Some exciting things are is next week, he puts on A1C, and that means a pay raise. Woo Hoo!!!

For me, I was offered an assistant manager job for the other Subway. Call me crazy, but I turned it down. It was at the other store, and daily, I hear complaints about how rude the other store is. So, I was actually considering it, but I got the worst feeling ever. How can you ignore that? So now, I am still a sandwich artist doing some assistant manager jobs, without the pay... Go figure. But I got my friend a job at the store with me, so I am training her, and having lots of fun.

Lemme see, Suri has gone back to escapee ways. She was tired of being outside in the heat, so she pushed her way out of the yard, and ran all the way.. to the porch. Lol. Seth wasn't happy about it, but at least she didn't run away. Brutus has been growing like a weed on steriods. Hehe. No joke, he is catching up to Suri, I guess that's not saying THAT much, but considering he's only about 5 months old, that IS saying something.

Guess who is on her way to my house?!?!?! My Big Sister!!! And we are preparing to go on the Epic Texas Road Trip of '09. I am so excited! So she called me when she landed, and told me that she forgot all our information in her car, in Florida. Awesome, no? But don't worry, it has all worked out.

No pics today, cuz it turns out that I have missplaced my batteries for my camera. So, maybe my sister will let me take some and let yall see us. Well, I have dinner to make, a husband to pick up from work, laundry to fold, and a sister to sign on to base. Peace, LOVE, and Family!!
